Five more players - includ ing Billy O'Dell of the Balti more Orioles and young Eddie Haas of the Milwaukee Braves - were added to today's casu alty list. O'Dell, the winning pitcher In last year's All-Star game, Injured his back while warm ing up before Thursday night's Baltimore-Kansas City game at Miami. Taking no chances, the Or ioles announced O'Dell, who had a 14-11 record last year, will be flown to Baltimore today for a thorough examin ation. Haas suffered a broken ankle in an exhibition game against the St. Louis Card inals at Bradenton and will be sidelined for at least eight weeks. The Braves have been ham pered by a mounting injury list all spring. Second Base man Mel Roach is still hobbled by a 1958 leg injury; Third Baseman Eddie Mathews re cently was sidelined with a groin injury, and First Base man Joe Adcock has been nursing a swollen knee.

The Phila delphia Phillies announced that veteran southpaw Curt Simmons has bone chips in his left elbow that may re quire surgery, reserve catcher John Blanchard of the New York Yankees sustained a bruised right toe, and rookie Joe Schaffernoth of the Chi cago Cubs was struck on the right elbow by a line drive while pitching batting prac tice. The Phillies found some- Jacksonville Bolstered By Hurlers Jacksonville - Pitching ap pears to be a strong point with the Jacksonville High school baseball squad this season. And, it could be a big factor in a bid by the Redskins to rise from second place in 1958 to the championship of the Jackson County B league this spring. Lettermen pitchers on the Jacksonville roster of Coach Dea Cox are Wayne Cabler and Rickie Zimmerman. Other hurlers are Doyle Bransom and Woody Wilson. Bransom, a senior who has never played baseball before, has a strong arm and may be a starter, Wilson, is a sophomore play ing his first high school ball. Lettermen included Wayne Goldschmidt, catcher; Ron Davis, shortstop; Gary Silva, third base, and Gary Smith, left field. At first base the choice looms between Tim White and Pat Hubbard. Either Stan Smith or Steve Isaacs may hold down second base with Gale Sheppard in center field and Jerry Win ningham or Ben Long in right. Jacksonville has a twinbill set with Illinois Valley at Jacksonville on Saturday with the first game set for 1 pjn. thing to cheer about when Robin Roberts turned in a route-going, 5-3 victory over the Washington Senators.

Brooks Lawrence also went nine innings in hurling the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 tri umph over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lawrence spaced seven hits. Bob Lillis collect ed three singles for the Dodg ers. Shortstop Andre Rodgers, hit in the face by a pitched ball Wednesday, displayed that "old Oriole spirit", with a pair of homers that carried the San Francisco Giants to a 7-5 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Mantle Gets Homer The game was enlivened by a beaning "rhubarb" in the eighth inning when Giant Pitcher Stu Miller hit Vic Power in the head with one of his "blazing" slow balls. Jim Bolger, running for Power, crashed into Rodgers while breaking up a double play and both benches emptied. No punches were thrown. A 420-foot home run by Mickey Mantle sparked the Yankees to a 7-2 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bob Turley worked the first seven innings for the Yanks, allow ing only four hits.
