Baltimore Orioles Have Corner on Youngsters; Club Deserves Watching (This is the fourth in a series on the 1960 prospects of the major league clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Miami, Fla. (DPD C a s e y Stengel of the Yankees warns, "look out for those Baltimore kids in 1960." And Oreoles Manager Paul Richards agrees with him. "We've got a corner on kids, especially when it comes to pitching," the usual ly stern-faced Richards smiles. And there isn't a dissenter in the American league. . They all agree that Rich ards, only a mediocre catcher Full Force Eruption in Pin Meet Toledo, Ohio (DPD A scor ing volcano, after laying dor mant for the first 18 days, still was erupting In full force at the American Bowling Con gress Tournament being held here. By the time the last team had finished in this morning's wee hours there had been 12 changes in the top 10 stand ings during Thursday's action. Paul Kulbaga of Cleveland occasioned the biggest out burst when he took over first place in the singles with 726, totaled 1951 for the top spot in all-events and with partner George Schuld, had totaled 1315 in the doubles for second place in this division. The Checker Cab of Detroit went into first place in the booster team division for teams with 850 or under av erage, rolling 2795. Two other teams, Riverside Home of Ann Arbor, Mich., and the Hendron Tavern of Salem, Ohio, tied for second in the boosters with 2761. The strong Muntean and Hedman team of St; Paul scor ed the major change in the op en team division for third place with 3059. Four team members went over 600 as the Minnesota team had games of 1039, 1005 and 1015 and became the first team in this year's ABC to string three successive games over one thousand. A & A Asphalt of Birming ham, Mich., leads the apen standing with 3096. Buddy Simon Sign of Cleve land, sparked by Kulbaga's 1951, took over first place in the team all-event standings with a 9298. Meeting Called For Semi-Pro Baseball Men All prospective players for the combined Medf ord-Camp White baseball club are asked to meet at 6 p.m. Monday, March 28 at the Medford High school baseball field. . League rules and the sched ule will be discussed. Pete Hale will manage the club this season. The Medford and Camp White teams of last year are combining forces. Medford Bowling lanes will be sponsor and home games are planned for the Veterans administration dom iciliary field, Camp White. All interested are invited to the Monday meeting. Hale will attend a Rogue Valley league meeting at 2 p. m. Sunday at the Cave shop at Grants Pass. in his major league career, can work magic when, it comes to pitching. But they are not at all sure that he has enough other young blood along with that pitching to overtake such clubs as the White Sox, Indians and Yan kees. "We're a good dark horse bet," is all that Richards will say. But he will admit, with one of his rare smiles, that his team "is a mighty good bet for the future." He- won't say that this year is that "fu ture." Pride and Joy His pitching is his pride and joy. He points out four: -Milt Pappas, the baby of the group at 20, who won 15 last year and whom Richards says he wouldn't trade for "any other pitcher in the league." -Jerry Walker, 21, who was 11-10 with a 2.92 earned run average.- -Jack Fisher, also only 21, whose 1-6 record after being called up from Miami wasn't impressive, but he lost close ball games and showed he had the stuff. -Chuck Estrada, the "old man" of the quartet at 22, who never has pitched an in ning of major league ball. He struck out 178 while winning 14 at Vancouver last year. To back them up he has knuckle ball specialist Hoyt Wilhelm, no kid at 36; Skinny Brown, another oldster at 35; Arnie Portocarrero, at 28; and two lefthanders, Billy Hoeft and Rip Coleman. For young infielders, Rich ards has 22-year-old Brooks Robinson at third base. Sten gel described him as one of the most improved ball play ers in the league last season. The 21-year-old Ron Hansen is at short, and Richards calls him the "best glove man in America." Hurting For Infielders But from that point on, he may be hurting for infielders. Jim Gentile, who couldn't make it with the Dodgers; Walt Dropo, coming to the end of the major league road, and Bob Boyd, a .265 hitter, are the first base candidates. Then there's veteran Billy Gardner at second, but one of two rookies Jerry Adair, 23, who hit .309 at Amerillo, and Marvin Breeding, 25, up from Vancouver where he hit .288 coud beat him out Veteran Billy Klaus is on hand for infield reserve duty Two outfield positions are set the veteran Gene Wood- ling, who seems to get better as the years go along, in left and Jack Brandt, obtained in a deal with the Giants, in cen ter. Right field is a battle among Willie Tasby, bonus baby Dave Nicholson, little Albie Pearson and Al Pi- larcik. Nicholson, one of the most highly touted of the $100,000 bonus babies, may go back to the minors for another year's experience. If he does, there is no question in Richard's mind that one-day he is going to make it big. Richards also has two other kids he thinks highly of first baseman John Powell and shortstop Bob Saverine. For catching, there is one of the best in the business Gus Triandos. Behind him are My ron Ginsberg and Gene Green, the former. Cardinal, who also can play the out field. The Orioles have young sters for sure. Whether they have enough veterans to blend in with them for the coming season, only time will tell.
