Prospect
Opens Slate
In Baseball
Prospect - Prospect High,
which will defend the Jack
son County B league title this
year, began its baseball sea
son today with non-loop fracas
here against A-2 Rogue River.
Coach Duane Payne has
quite a few vets back from
last year's club. He feels that
the Cougars have good de
fense and fair hitting but that
the pitching is a question.
Prospect lacks experienced
hurlers.
Payne Indicated that Wally
Nye and Craig Gardner, trans
fer from Medford, have been
doing much of the pitching
in practice. Possible relief
chuckers are Lee Gitchell,
Stan Payne and Tony Yell.
Gitchell also plays first base
and Payne and Yell are in
fielders. Nye also plays second
base.
Cliff Chapman and Richard
Belts are catchers and Dick
Bean a relief receiver. At first
base, in addition to Gitchell,
is Mike Burrcll. Bob Fitch, an
outliclder, could be at second
sack when Nye s pitching. A
third baseman is Don Gillcs-1
pie. Terry Gardner may be
the starting shortstop.
Outfielders on the club are
Floyd Scalfc, John Rogers,
Joe Jones, Chuck Poole. Larry
Bean and Brian Boothby.
Payne said that Prospect
will have track and field on
a limited basis with training
mostly during physical educa
tion periods. The Cougars may
enter a small squad in the
Hayward relays and hope to
participate in soma other
meets.

Dressen Has Horses
That He's Wanted
(This it the 10th In a ta
riat on the 1960 protpactt
of the major league clubt.)
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sportt Editor
Bradenton, Fla. IUPI1
Charlie Dressen, the chipper
little Milwaukee skipper who
has waited a long time to get
the specific kind of "horses"
he always wanted, finally has
'em now and is convinced he
can lead them Into the win
ner's circle come October.
Everyone in baseball re
members how well Dressen
did when he had "my kind of
ball players" as a manager in
Booklyn.
Everyone also recalls what
a flop Charlie was at Wash
ington when he couldn't ma
neuver because of the lack of
talent.
Now with the Braves, Dres
sen has hitters like Hank
Aaron, Ed Mathews and Joe
Adcock, along with pitchers
like Warren Spahn, Lew Bur-
dette and Bob Buhl.
SF Giants
Strong in
Reserves
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco - IUHI - If the
San Francisco Giants win the
National league pennant this
year - and the bandwagon is
loaded with men who say
they will a strong bench
should be given the credit.
While there is a big cry
that Manager Bill Rigney
hasn't the reserves available
to go through a tough cam
paign, it appears right now
that balding Bill may have
just as good men sitting on
the bench as playing.
Take first base for exam
ple. Here Willie McCovey, a
young sophomore, is supposed
to be the big knocker. But if
he fails, Rigney can bring in
either Jim Marshall, a sea.
soned young left handed hit
ter; or shift Orlando Cepeda
from the outfield.
If Cepeda moves back to
first base, that will riean that
cither Marshall or Felipe
Alou would go to the outer
garden. If Felipe is out there,
then the Giants may have one
of the best outfields in all of
baseball. With Willie Mays in
center and Willie Kirkland in
right it would have fine field
ing and great hitting.
So how about second base?
Don Blasingame for five years
has been considered one of
the finest inficlders in the
game. But if he gets hurt,
Joey Amalfitano Is ready to
step in. A bonus baby of six
years ago, Joey has been hit
ting about 240 points better
than Don in spring training.
He also is a seasoned, profes
sional ball player who knows
his way around the infield.
So hw about third or short?
If Jimmy Davenport or Eddie
Bressoud are injured, Andre
Rodgers Is ready to step in.
Andre got a full workout at
the shortstop berth last sea
son and made so many errors
that he finally was benched,
then sent to the minors. But
the report is that he has more
confidence this year and can
play both positions. He also
hits the long ball.
Catching? Hobie Landrith
is the starter, but Bob
Schmidt was the first stringer
In 1958 and he can step in
any time and hit with more
authority than little Hobie.
The pitching, of course,
may be the best in the league.
After starters Sam Jones,
Johnny Antonelli, Jack San
ford and Mike McCormick,
comes one of the country's
finest crop of relievers.
Little Stu Miller has been
one of the league's best earn-ed-run
average men for the
last two years; add Billy
O'Dell, who also is expected
to do a spot of starting; and
Billy Loes, who will be the
man to finish up. and It looks
like Manager Rigney is on
! solid ground.
i So who said "the bench Is
I weak?"
Come join the fun

In addition, he apparently
has a sound Red Schoendienst
back at second base. No won
der the cocky little Milwau
kee pilot is rubbing his hands
in anticipation of the start of
the pennant race.
"Batter" Than Dodgers
"I think we have a better
team than Los Angeles," he
says, "and even though the
Giants may be tough, I feel we
can beat them, too."
He thinks his pitching "is
as good as any around," but
plans on giving Joey Jay to
ll), Juan Pizarro (6-2) and
Carlton Willey (5-B) more
work.
"That way I'll be able to
give Burdette and Spahn a
little more rest," Dressen ex
plains. Both Burdette and Spahn
won 21 games last season
while Buhl won 15.
For relief there's fast-balling
Don McMahon (5-3) and
the veteran Bob Rush (5-6).
Rush also may be spotted as a
starter if Jay, Pizarro and
Willey do not come through
as well as Dressen expects.
Bub Giggie, who was In
only 13 games last season with
the Braves and had a 1-0 rec
ord, and rookie Ron Piche, an
eight-game winner at Louis
ville, may stick with the club.
Another hurling possibility is
Bob Hartman, also a Louis
ville graduate. He won 10
games there last season.
Three Infield Spots Set
Three spots in the infield
are set Schoendienst at sec
ond, Johnny Logan at short
and Mathews at third. Adcock
and Frank Torre probably
will split the first base job.
For infield reserves there are
Felix Mantilla, Mel Roach
and Chuck Cottier.
Dressen has been giving
Roach a shot in the outfield
as well as third base.
Although Dressen is con
vinced that Schoendienst. who
was out last season with tu
berculosis, will be able to put
in a full season, he will keep
Cottier, just in case the red
head needs relief now and
then. Cottier isn't much with
the bat, hitting only .226 at
Louisville last season and
.125 with the Braves, but can
get the job done in the field.
Aaron, who won the Nation
al league batting title last sea
son with a .355 average, will
be in right field with Billy
Bruton in center and Wes
Covington in left.
Sayt Knea Okay
Covington's knee still is a
question mark, but he insists
it's okay. If it isn't, the Braves
could be hurting in the out
field for behind that trio

with the Braves.
The other outfield candi
dates are Al Spangler, a .297
hitter at Louisville, and John
Demerit, the bonus kid who
hasn't made it yet.
So long as Del Cranda"
stays healthy, the Braves have
no catching problem. But if
something should happen to

feel the pinch in that depart
ment, too.
