Baltimore Orioles Have

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

And there isn't a dissenter in

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

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

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.
