RIDES FOUR WINNERS Bowie, Md. - (EPD - Jockey Howard Grant rode four win ners in consecutive races at Bowie Monday to boost his total to 39 wins in the last 14 racing days. His "longest' priced winner Monday was Lil Mac at $5.80 in the fea tured Barclay purse. Sharp Hurler in Oriole Defeat paign in 1958 and has fre quently been mentioned at trade bait in the Yankee's attempts to swing a deal for a pitcher. But it's possible the Yankees will have to look no further than their own clubhouse for the man they want. Sturdivant made a big bid tential," he insisted. "Our pitching could take us a long way." Outside of pitching, how ever, the Phillies are "hurt ing." They need power and something to plug that second base weakness which hurt them so much last Season that they finished eighth. For power they are looking to Harry Anderson, Ed Bou chee, Bob Bowman, Wally Post and Stan Lopata, who was hurt most of last year. The Phillies think they have solved their second base prob lem with rookie George An derson, acquired from the Dodgers. There is no question about Anderson doing the job in the field, but it's doubtful if he has a major league bat. He hit only .269 at Montreal in 1958. Anderson Good Defensively "We have to do something about the second base situa tion so we'll give Anderson every chance," Sawyer ex plained. "We have lost more games because we didn't have a second baseman who could field a ground ball last year than for any other reason. So no matter how he looks at the plate, Anderson will start at second for us. That's bound to help our defense and our pitching. With a straight face, Saw yer said the Phillies were "three deep at each infield spot." But he added quickly, "we don't know whether they are major leaguers. We do know they were the best men we could get." Back of Bouchee at first, he listed rookie Pancho Her rera, who hit .270 for the Phillies late in 1958 after they brought him up from Mi ami, and either Lopata, who may lose the No. 1 catching post to Valmy Thomas, or the veteran and deluxe pinch-hitter Dave Philley. Granny Hamner, who was hitting .301 last season when his chronic shoulder ailment cropped up again, and .Ted Kazanski, who hasn't been able to do the job in the past, are second base possibili ties along with Anderson. Chico Fernandez will be at short with Ruben Amaro, a 224 hitter with the Cardinals and Johnny O'Brien, the ex Pirate and Cardinal who won another major league shot by hitting .323 at Rochester, back of him. Two Outfielders Set Gene Freese, who didn't make the grade with either the Pirates or Cardinals, is getting the call at third base over the veteran Willie Jones. Herrera can play there, too. Two outfield positions are set-Richie Ashburn, the 1958 National league batting cham pion, in center and Anderson in left. Post, a disappointment last year after being obtained from the Reds, and Bowman, who seems to do better as a pinch-hitter than a regular, are the leading contenders for right field. The Phillies have catching depth and are willing to trade one of them for power. Back of Thomas and Lopata are the veteran Jim Hegan, an ac complished receiver but weak hitter, and Carl Sawatski, who can hit better than he can field. The starting pitchers figure to be veterans Robin Roberts (17-14) and Curt Simmons (7- 14) along with Ray Semproch (13-11), Ruben Gomez, who was (10-12 with the Giants. and Jack Meyer (3-6). Meyer appears to have overcome the arm trouble, which has pla gued him the past two years For relief there is Dick Farrell, whose 1958 record of 8-9 was deceiving because he pitched better ball than that; Don Cardwell (3-6), veteran Jim Hearn, coming to the end of the major league road (5-3) and Seth Morehead (1-6). Sacramento Solons To Play Exhibition Palm Springs, Calif. -4UPD- The Sacramento Solons select ed lefthanders Ray Hyde and Roger Bowman and right hander Chuck Longwello to take the mound today against the Vancouver Mounties in a Pacific Coast league exhibi tion game. The Mounties have not announced their hurlers for the contest in that direction Monday when he hurled five brilliant innings in the Yankee's 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, whose six-game win ning streak has established them as one of the hottest teams on the grapefruit cir cuit. The Orioles managed only two hits off Sturdivant and both o f them were "scratchy." Elston Howard hit his sec ond homer of the spring and Mickey Mantle weighed in with ' a run-scoring single as the Yankees evened their spring record at 7-7. Virgil Trucks, Ryne Duren and Jim Bronstad completed the shut out and a nifty combined six hit performance. Have Anxious Moments The Yankees had some anx ious moments in the eighth inning when Duren was forced to leave the game af ter stopping a line drive with his bare hand. Trainer Gus Mauch said he did not believe there were any bones broken and no x-rayss were planned. The Detroit Tigers crushed the Cincinnati Reds, 15-5, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-5, the Los Angeles Dodgers de feated the Milwaukee Braves 10-6, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 8-3, in Monday's only other exhibition games. Al Kaline had four hits and Harvey Kuenn, Frank Boil ing and Rocky Bridges three each in the Tigers' 19-hit at tack. Most of the damage was done against rookie Claude Osteen, who was battered for 12 runs and 14 hits in five innings. Don Mossi made his spring debut for the Tigers and yielded two runs in the first two innings. The Phillies rocked 42-year-old Sal Maglie in a seven run eighth inning rally fea tured by Dave Philley's grand slam homer. Ed Keegan, a 19-year-old rookie who was 13 9 at Williamsport last season, held the Cardinals to one run and three hits for the first five innings. s Fifth Straight Loss Don Demeter and John Roseboro homered for the Dodgers who raised their spring record to 8-3 and hand ed the Braves their fifth straight loss and their eighth in their last nine games. Wes Covington had five hits and Ed Mathews had four for the Braves but pitchers Lew Bur dette and Bob Rush were hit freely by the Dodgers. Sam Esposito drove in four runs with three hits and Al Smith struck a key triple as the White Sox squared their record at 5-5. The White Sox got off to a 2-0 first-in ning lead against Walt Crad dock and added three more runs in the second. The Ath letics have lost 8 of 13 games, poorest record by an Ameri can League team.

Kentucky Coach Gets UPS Award; (Praises Cagers Lexington, Ky. V-fiJPD- Ken tucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp said here Monday night in accepting the United Press International Coach of the Year award, he would be will ing to settle for the record made by his Wildcats this year during "the rest of my coach ing days." ' Rupp, picked as Coach of Eagle Point Has Tussle' Wednesday Eagle Point-T u r n o u t of nine lettermen, two promising transfers and a flock of eager freshmen in a roster of 30 as pirants brighten the outlook at Eagle Point High school where baseball practice is one of the best signs of spring. The Eagles were doormats of the Rogue league last year. They have only one way to go this season and that is up. However, Coach Gail Schop- pert had only three lettermen to work with in 1958 and the picture is certainly rosier this year. In fact, Schoppert pre dicts that "we should break even." As in 1958, the Eagles' big problem appears to be pitch ing. The best prospect, Bill Turner, has dropped baseball to concentrate on track. Jun ior Jim Nease and sopho mores Elmo Sawyer, Bill Pfei fer, Tom Perdue and Ron Weidman all have had some mound experience, neverthe less, and will see duty in early games. Pfeifer, who started in centerfield as a freshman, seems to have the best arm of the lot but has control trouble. Catching Good Catching seems to be in good hands this year. Schop pert has transfer Robert Os born, a junior, from Clark- ston, Wash., and Richard Her tager, 110 -pound freshman dynamo. Both are capable glove men. Eagle infield at present is filled with question marks. Those leading in contention are seniors Dale Casey and Dusty Gerbing, juniors Duane Anderson, Duke Wild and Nease, sophomores Wiedman and Perdue and talented freshmen Steve Geren, Bill Blair and Dick Wilson. Ger bing hit .450 last year. Wild is a transfer from Prospect. In contention for the out field are Pfeifer, junior let terman Bud Bever, senior Bill McClure, juniors Myron Laird, Mack Lemmon and Steve Carroll and several freshmen. . Nease, Pfeifer, Bever, An derson and McClure have paced hitting in early drills. Gerbing and Perdue, who also hit well last year, are expect ed to improve their stick work. The Eagles this week are working on base running and game situations in practice for the season opener on Wednesday at Jacksonville. They play Friday at Butte Falls. They will meet Glen dale, Illinois Valley and Rogue River in the Rogue league. Net Champs Take On Bears .

"While other, teams were playing after our season end ed, we sat around sucking our thumbs. I believe an extra game would have helped," Rupp said. Special Game Planned He added that the South eastern conference this week agreed to set up a special game between its NCAA rep resentative and a team of all stars to be picked by the con ference commissioner. The game would be played on the Saturday after the regular season ends.
