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-

opencer and Leon Wagner.

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.

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

Plumley, who took the shot

ran a leg on the winning two

record. Plumley put the 16

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.

Dinner at Chuck Wagon
Honors Basketall Squad
Members of the Medford
High school basketball squad
were honor guests of John
North's Chuck Wagon last
night in recognition of their
I960 Oregon Class A-l cham
pionship. :
Guests Included chamber of
commerce and school officials,
coaches and representatives of
the press and their wives. Oth
ers were team managers, cheer
leaders, members of the rally
squad and men who played on
Medford's two previous state
championship teams.
Gerald Latham, president of
the Medford Chamber of Com
merce was master of cere
monies. Leonard Mayfield, superin
tendent of Medford schools,
spoke of the teamwork, the
pull-togclher spirit and com
munity support that go into
the "Medford system" in ath
letics. He praised the work of
E. H. Hedrick, former school
superintendent in develop
ment of the system which has
made Medford a big name in
sports.
Coach Frank Roelandt, In
troducing the players, lauded
the team effort of his squad
in battling to the state crown.

Celts Pressured
In NBA Playoff
Boston (UPD - The pressure
will be on the Boston Celtic!
tonight despite their home
court advantage when they
entertain the St. Louis Hawks
in the fifth game of their Na
tional Basketball association
championship series.
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.

Meet Soni
New York -flJFlu Television
viewers will get their first
look at undefeated heavy,
weight Lamar Clark Friday
night when the Utah kayo
artist meets Bartolo Soni of
the Dominican Republic in a
scheduled 10-rounder at Og
den, Utah.
The bout will be broadcast
and televised nationally by
NBC beginning at 10 p.m.
e s t. Clark is a 3-1 favorite.
Clark, a stablemate of NBA
middleweight champion Gene
Fullmer, has had 45 pro

on a decision and then wont
on to score 44 straight knock
outs. Twenty-nine of Clark's

Cedar City, Utah, Clark at
tracted nation wide attention
Dec. 1, 1958, when he flat
tened six opponents in one

rivals have been unknowns, so
nobody is sure yet how good
he is.
Soni, too, is a comparative
stranger but he has a good
right-hand punch and a bcttcr-than-average
record, 12 vic
tories in 15 fights with eight
knockouts. He dropped a dis
puted decision to Billy Ryan
