SL Cardinal Deals No Help to Defense Trill 11 th lllh at lha Kit. latrhn on lha l)fiO nrnsrjerta at ha major lraicua clubt). Br LEO H. PETEHSEN UPI Sporii Editor St. Petersburg, Fla. (UPD Solly Hemu thinks the St. Louis Cardinals have iirst di vision potential, an opinion shared by few baseball people. The Cardinals' little mana ger points to the deals they made during the off season and claims they strengthened his pitching and his bench. That they might have done, but they did nothing to help a porus defense. Officials of other clubs tag the Cards as the poorest de- lensive club in the league, but Hemus won't buy that. He does admit he gave up defen- ive strength when he sent second baseman Don Blasin- game to the Giants for Daryl opencer and Leon Wagner.

FIR - MEDFORD l.timotes Without Obligation Phone SP guy, but when you finish sev- entn you have to make changes," explained Hemus. "I know Spencer will do a good Job for us at shortstop and Wagner will help our at tack. They tell me Wagner is a butcher in the outfield, buf from what I've seen of him, I can't go for that." The other players acquired by the Cards were pitcher Ronnie Kline, outfielder Bob Nieman and catcher Carl Sawatski. Eyes First Division Hemus figures by adding them to Ken Boyer, Joe Cun ningham, Stan Musial, Bill White, Larry Jackson, Wilmer Mizell, Lindy McDaniel and Hal Smith he has the ground work for a first division finish. "And once you are in the first division, it doesn't take an awful lot more to get you all the way," observed Hemus hopefully. The only part of his ball club set at the moment is the infield which will see Musial to first, Alex Grammas to sec ond, Spencer at short and the hard-hitting Boyer at third. Musial has been hammer ing the ball this spring like he did in his best years and there is no question in his mind, or Hemus' either, that he will tack a lot of points on to the sickly .255 average he com plied last year. Hemus rates Grammas one of the best glove men at sec ond in the league and "the Greek" hit .269 for him last season. Spencer, after a year of playing secand with the Giants, is happy to be back at short, his normal position, and also has been walloping the ball in exhibition games. Boyer Well Recommended Boyer's 1959 marks are enough to recommend him 28 homers, 94 runs batted In and an average of .309. For infield reserves there are George Crowe, Dick Gray and Wally Shannon. Actually, Hemus has four first basemen for that is also the normal position of Cun ningham and White, Musial and Crowe are the others. But the St. Louis outfield material is such that Cunning ham and White will be back out there as they were last season. Cunningham, a .345 hitter, will be in right and White is one of three candi dates for the left field post, the others being Nieman and Wagner. Curt Flood, who hit only .255 last season, will be in center and no matter who flanks him in left and right, Flood is going to have his work cut out for him. Ellis Burton, a .292 hitter at Oma ha last season, also can play center and probably will stick. Smith will be the No. 1 catcher with Sawatski behind him. A rookie, Chris Canniz zaro, who hit only .213 at Omaha last season, has been rattling base Hits all over Florida and may beat out Dar rell Johnson, the ex-Yankee, for the third string berth. Kline, 11-13 with the Pi rates last season; Jackson (14 13), Mizell (13-10), Ernie Bro glio (7-12) and Bob Miller (4-3) will be the five starting pitch ers with McDaniel (14-12) heading the bullpen corps. Hemus rates Jackson among the best in the league and is high on both Broglio and Mil ler, the bonus baby who fi nally started to live up to his promise last season. He also has as a pitching candidate, right hander Bob Gibson, whom many National League hitters claim has the fastest ball in the league. Gib son won nine while losing the same number at Omaha last season and then was 3-5 with the Cards after they called him up. Back of McDaniel for relief will be Marshall Bridges (6-3) and perhaps Bob Duliba, another Omaha gradute. When it's all added up, It is easy to see why few share Hemus' optimism for 1 first division finish. 2-2461 Fanfare Catching up on week end track: Three ex-Medfordites were among the winners in the Northern Division relays at Eugene. In addition to Jerry Close, whose upset broad jump win was recorded by United Press International, there were Neil Plumley, who took the shot put and Wilcey Winchell, who ran a leg on the winning two mile relay team to share a record. Plumley put the 16 pound iron ball 52 feet 6I3 inches. D. C. Mills, also ex Medford, was second in the javelin. John Burns, ex-Crater high, and Glen Winningham, ex Grants Pass, who were top southern Oregon prep foes last year in the javelin, were in different events in the Sat SPdPIffiTS Sox Acquire Roy Sievers In Trade Sarasota, Fla.-IUPD-The ac quisition of Roy Sievers from the Washington Senators was hailed by White Sox Manager Al Lopez today as a "good move which should make it that much easier for us to win the pennant." Lopez, who predicted an other Chicago flag prior to the Sievers deal, said Sievers would be invaluable as a pinch hitter and as insurance just in case first baseman Ted Kluszewski or Minnie Minoso can't play the full season. "We've strengthened our selves all the way around," Lopez exclaimed. "Now if Klu can't go the full season we have an invaluable replace ment. Even if Klu goes all the way-and I'm convinced he can-then Sievers gives us that much more bench strength." The deal, which sent Sie vers to the Sox for catcher Earl Batty and rookie first baseman Don Mincher and $150,000 was the third major swap involving a power hitter that Chicago has made since the end of the 1959 World Series. They acquired Gene Freese from the Philadelphia Phillies and Minoso from the Cleve land Indians in winter deals. Freese hit 23 homers last year. Minoso and Sievers each had 21, one less that Sherman Lollar who led the White Sox sluggers last season with 22. SO Gridders Open With Bowl Tiff Ashland - Southern Oregon college will open the 1960 football season In the Myrtle Bowl at Coos Bay against Sac ramento Stale on Sept. 17.

Lincoln Victor In Elementary Diamond Action Lincoln tallied three runs in the fourth inning and with stood a rival rally yesterday to nick West Side 7 to fl in a Medford district American league grade school baseball game. West Side had the biggest inning with four runs in the second inning to tie up the mix at 4-all. Lincoln pitchers Mike Allen and Ron Jones held West Side to one hit and fanned 10 batters but walked nine men. A double by Allen was the big blow of the game. In a National league game, Washington edged Wilson in a high-scoring contest by an 11 to 9 count. Washington catcher Cox won the game for his team in the bottom of the fourth when with one out and one on, he slammed out a home run. Jefferson shut out Jackson school on the latler's diamond by an 11 to 0 count on the strength of Ingram's pitching. He held the Jackson batters to only one hit while walking three and striking out two. His teammates played errorless ball while the Jackson nine booted three. In another American league contest. Howard school edged Lone Pine by a 4 to 2 count. Steve Steinmctz went all the way for the winners, giving up four hits, striking out five and walking two. Roosevelt scored most of its runs in the first two innings to post a lop-sided American League victory over Griffin Creek yesterday. Bob Dames was the winning pitcher while Terry Partsasas was the loser. fAmtrlralt ltaiir R M T. UmKln M 7 7 S wm Side . 010 i a 1 a Allen. Jonpi 121 and Chamber lain: Daw.on.

The two teams are tied at two victories apiece in the best of seven playoffs. The pressure comes from the feeling that the Hawks have found the secret of con taining the defending cham pions. That secret is two-fold: First, to slow down the Cel tics, who love to run their opponents into the floor. And, second, to hope that the nor mally flashy Bob Cousy con tinues to play in the tatlle-tale gray style that he has thus far in the series.
