STUART FINED
Fort Myers, Fla. -(OPD- First-

Pittsburgh Pirates was fined
$100 Sunday for failing to
make Saturday's exhibition
game with the Chicago White
Sox. Stuart said he missed
the team bus from Fort Myers
to Tampa because he over

Yanke Have It
Probably the best bet is
that the Senators will finish
last again.
While none of. the rival
managers in the league are
conceding the Yankees the
pennant, they privately ad
mit they can't see how the
New Yorkers can be beaten.
Yankee Manager Casey Sten
gel maintains they can't
either.
Stengel may be a little short
on pitching unless the Yankees
make a deal, but they have
everything else it takes, in
cluding a bench made up of
players who would be regu
lars on any of the other
teams. And whenever a weak
ness crops up in the Yankee
array, they usually make a
deal to get men they need to
win again.
Most baseball men agree
Detroit is the most improved
club in the league because of
the acquisition of relief pitch
ers Ray Narleski and Don Mo
si, third baseman Eddie Yost
and shortstop Rocky Bridges.
But Manager Bill Norman
nixes any Tiger pennant talk,
explaining that "you have to
finish in the first division be
fore aiming at a pennant."
The Tigers finished fifth last
season.
Boston Has Power
The White Sox, runners-up
to the Yankees the past two
years, lack power, although
Manager Al Lopez steadfastly
maintains that either the Ti
gers or White Sox could beat
the Yankees. The White Sox
also lack relief pitching.
Boston has plenty of power,
provided Ted Williams is able
to recover from his spring ail
ments, but they may be short
on pitching and they hurt
their defense when they
traded outfielder Jimmy Pier
sail to Cleveland. Manager
Mike Higgins also has the
same old infield problem and
lacks pitching depth.
Cleveland has problems at
short and third base and even
if Herb Score comes back,
which is doubtful, doesn't ap
pear to have the pitching it
takes.
Both Baltimore and Kansas
City have to wait until their
youngsters develop and that
won't be for another year at
least. As for the Senators, they
just don't have it.
Miss Schoendienst
Manager Fred Haney of the
Braves professes not to be
worried about second base,
but the fact is Milwaukee still
is trying to make a deal for
Johnny Temple of the Reds
or Junior Gilliam of the
Dodgers. Haney admits the
Braves will be hurt by the
loss of Red Schoendienst, but
then points out he has the
best pitching in the league
and there is nothing wrong
with his outfield, if Wes Cov
ington and Billy Bruton re
cover from their knee injuries,
the infield or the catching.
The v Pirates lost power
when they traded Frank
Thomas and may be short in
second line pitching. If big
Ted Kluszewski comes back
at first, 'and it looks like he
has recovered from his back
injury, he may supply the
power that Thomas did last
year. But the Pirates would
be hurting if any of their first
stringers should be injured.
Their bench is weak. ,
Los Angeles could fool
them all-if Duke Snider and
Gil Hodges can return to their
old form and their promising
pitching staff of such young
men as Don Drysdale, Johnny
Podres and Sandy Kouf ax live
up to their potential.
Giants Lack Pitching
Cincinnati appears to have
the power necessary to win,
but. its pitching is a big ques
tion mark.
Despite the trade in which
they acquired Sam Jones from
the Cardinals, reports from
Arizona say the Giants still
lack pitching. They have long
distance hitting but have an
infield problem around short
and secqnd. Daryl Spencer can
play only one of those posi
tions and if he is shifted to
second, where the Giants have
been weak the past few years,
they may have a shortstop
problem.
Philadelphia, Chicago and
St. Louis could wind up in
quite a battle for the last three
positions. The Phillies appear
to have the best pitching of
those three clubs and thus are
rated sixth. The Phillies need
more power, as do the Cubs.
The Cubs have young pitch
ing which has yet to prove it
self. The Cardinals have outfield
weaknesses and don't figure
to get very far with only two

White Sox Said
Team To Watch
For Speed,
By JOE CRONIN
American League President
Boston -(DPD In making my
first pre-season forecast in my
new position with the Ameri
can league, I am confident
that exciting competition and
an abundance of action and
thrills will be the reward for
the millions of fans of all eight
clubs during the 1959 season.
During the coming cam
paign the American League
will present a full array of
established stars and intro
duce many bright newcomers
to the baseball firmament.
These were the observations
I brought back with me from
a recent tour of the Florida
training camps, during which
I saw six of our teams in ac

Color
of both camps in the west.
The addition of Jim Pier-
sail and Billy Martin has giv
en the Indians tremendous
new color. Added to a lineup
which includes players like
Rocky Colavito, who gives
every indication of establish
ing himself alongside the
game's great attractions, this
new blood also provides the
Indians with the element of
definite contention. A come
back by Herb Score to go with
a fine young pitching corps
enhances this possibility.
The RedVSox have also pro
fited in power potential by the
deal in which they obtained
Vic Wertz from Cleveland. A
Boston bombing group with
Pete Runnels, Ted Williams,
Wertz, MVP Jackie Jensen
and Frank Malzone coming to
the plate in that order can
mean a great deal to the hopes
of Red Sox fans.
Of the Florida-based teams,
the world-c h a m p i o n New
York Yankees still boast the
luster of the most solid team
in baseball today. Casey Sten
gel's champions are definitely
rated by all their rivals as the
team to beat.
Chicago Is Ready
The Chicago White Sox
found a slow start in the 1958
race too great a handicap to
overcome. This year they ap
pear ready to go with the
opening pitch. Speed and color
will make the White Sox a
team to watch. Chicago will
still boast its outstanding
keystone combination of Nel
son Fox and Luis Aparicio
(the latter recently termed the
games's greatest shortstop by
Donie Bush, a skilled and re
spected baseball man) and
will introduce new faces typi
fied by a promising youngster,
outfielder Johnny Callison.
Detroit's pitching depth im
pressed me very much. The
fine Tiger round staff of last
season will be backed up by
Don Mossi and Ray Narleski.
With proven potency on ' at
tack provided by such stars as
Al Kaline, Harvey Kuenn and
Frank Boiling, the Tigers are
rightly touted on all fronts
this year.
Baltimore has blended a
combination of familiar stars
and new faces in what seems
certain to be a successful
quest , for notable improve
ment. Outfielder Willie Tasby
is one Oriole who, like other
American League bright new
comers, promises to delight
the fans. Gus Triandos, living
up to his nickname "Tremen
dous Triandos," exemplifies
the veteran punch in the line
up. The Oriole pitching also
has a good balance of veterans
and youngsters.
Can Give Trouble
When I watched the Kan
sas City Athletics in spring
action, Hal Smith was filling
the bill at third base, an im
portant item for the team.
Bob Cerv leads the way in a
power-packed lineup, while
Ralph Terry tops a pitching
staff that can be troublesome
for all the Athletics' rivals.
The true picture of poten
tial competition in the Ameri
can league race may be seen in
the fact that the Washington
Senators, who finished eighth
last year, won 10 of the 22
games' against the , first-place
Yankees. Paced by potent
Roy Sievers, who seems head
ed for another great year, and
a capable pitching staff, the
Senators hope to dish out the
same dose in battle with all
other clubs this season.
Competition of this nature
from opening day to final
bell, combined with continued
American league domination
io the All-Star Game and
World Series, would make a
new president's first year in
office a memorable one in
deed. Life insurance available on

Dodger Park
Case Before
High Court
Los Angeles-(UPD-The final
phase of the legal controversy
over the Los Angeles Dodg
ers' attempts to get a stadium
site in Chavez Ravine rested
with the California Supreme
Court today.
The court, sitting in Los
Angeles, heard 45 minutes of
arguments by opponents of
the Chavez Ravine site and
then took the matter under
submission.
The state's highest court
previously had upheld the
transaction in which the city
agreed to transfer the site to
the Dodgers. Chief Justice
Phil S. Gibson limited Mon
day's hearing, to arguments
over whether the city housing
authority had the right to
alter a deed restriction limit
ing use of the property to
"public purposes."
The Supreme Court gave no
indication when it would rule
in the new legal point holding
up start of construction of the
55,000-seat sta'dium. The Dodg
ers have been using the Memo
rial Coliseum as a temporary
home.
