MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE SUNDAY. MARCH 26, 1961 Few Experts Agree With Hutchi nson s View About Redleqs (Thit if on of 18 di. om. ... . .W . B 7 (Thit if on of 18 dii patches on th 1961 proi paclt of th major league clubi.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Spoilt Editor Tampa, Fla. - (I'PD - Man ager Freddie Hutchinson thinks his Cincinnati Reds fi n a 1 1 y have overcome the pitching weakness that has plagued them over the years and that they have an outside chance of winning the 1961 National league pennant. He fiasn't found many base ball experts who agree with him, however, especially in View of the fact that the Reds lost eight of their first nine spring exhibition games. "I know that it looks bad for the folks back home," said Hutchinson, "but tell 'em for me that we are going to be better - much better - than last year." Then the Reds finished sixth, lacking both the pitch ing, which is an old problem, and also the power hitting which they usually have. They tried to correct those weaknesses but in doing so left a gaping hole in the in field. Unless they make a deal they figure to be troubled at either shortstop or second base. Their regular shortstop for the last 10 years, Roy McMil lan, is gone and so is second baseman Billy Martin. Among the players the Reds received in trades were Gene Freese, who should hip the attack but is far from a defensive bul wark at third base, and Joey Jay, whom Hutchinson is counting upon as a regular pitching starter. Players Hold Key Those two playerj along with Gordon Coleman, Wally Post, Bill Henry, Jay Hook and Jim O'Toole hold the key to how far the Reds will go this season. Solution ot the infield problem also will be a major factor. Freese will be at third and Coleman, who hit .271 in 66 SECURED INVESTMENTS Preferred Contracts. Will net 896 and up on your invest ment.

Coleman has to make it at first or Hutchinsons outfield plans will be upset. For if Coleman fails it means that Frank Rob inson will have to leave his left field post to return to first. .Robinson would prefer to play left and that's whprp Hutchinson wants him to per- Eddie Kasko will be at ei ther short or second. Which ever position he plays will be in good nands, but it leaves a big void at the other. Chico Cardenas, who h i t .266 in 48 games with the iteds after batting .288 at Jer sey City, will decide which position Kasko will play. If he makes it at short, Kasko will be at second. If not, then Elio Chacon, who hit only .181 with the Reds and .266 at Jersey City last year, or rookie Jim Baumer. a .293 hitter at Salt Lake City in 1960, will battle it out for the second base job. Willie Jones probably will be kept around for infield utility duty and pinch hitting purposes. He's slowed too much in the field to play ev ery day. The outfield is set if Cole man makes it at first. In the garden with Robinson wil be Vada Pmson in center and either Post or Gus Bell in right. Regained Horn Run Eye Post regained his home run eye last season after the Reds got him back from the Phil lies and probably will go when the Reds face left hand ed pitchers. Bell, the better fielder, will play when the Reds go against right-handed hurlers, That leaves Jerry Lynch and possibly Harry Anderson in reserve. Ed Bailey will be the No. 1 catcher again with Hal Bev- an and Jerry Zimmerman, both of whom were with Se attle last season, behind him Bob Purkey (17-11), O'Toole (12-12) and Hook (11-18) will be regular starters along with Jay, who was 9-8 with the Braves last season. The con sensui ii that O'Toole and Hook, on the basis of their improvement last year could lead the Reds out of the pitcn- ing woods Henry could help, too, if he regains his old form. Last year he won only one game and lost five, but he still is Baseball FRIDAY GAMKS Pro Exhibitions at. Louis 4.

Willie Stays In Lineup For Giants Scotlsdale, Ariz. - IUPD - Manager Alvin Dark said Sat urday that he considers Willie McCovey a fine fielding first baseman and said he would not pull him out of games for defensive purposes. I like everything about him out there," the manager said, "and that includes his attitude." Many Giant fans blamed McCovey's d i s a s trous 1960 campaign for the Giants skid to fifth place. But McCovey has had a big spring and Dark indicated Saturday he will go with him all the way this year. Score Six Friday, the Giants scored six runs in the eighth inning and edged the pesky Chicago Cubs, 13-12, at Mesa. On the gloomy side of the ledger, front-line hurlers Jack Sanford and Billy O'Dell were battered. Neither has looked sharp this spring. O'Dell gave up five hits and five runs in two innings and still got credit for the win. On the plus side, however, was another big showing by the Giant power brigade.

AMANT Palm Springs, Calif. - IUPD - "Have glove, will travel" is the story of the baseball career of Everett Lamar Bridges, who after 13 years in organized baseball finds himself in the dubious secu rity of a utility outfielder with the new Los Angeles Angels. The fancy handle bestowed on Bridges some 33 years ago in his birthplace of Refugio, Tex., has long since been dropped by the wayside and he's known as Rocky. The road in baseball has been rocky for him but he got his nickname because he's hard as a rock. He's a stocky 180- pounder, standing 5 feel 8'4, and he looks indestructible -but he's isn't. "1 was going pretty good with Washington in 1958," Rocky recalled, "when I got my jaw busted. I was hilling about .300 when Frank Lary hit me with a fast ball. I wasn't much good for the rest of the season." Rocky could form a broken jaw club with two other An gels - manager Bill Rigney and outfielder Bob Cerv, the former New York Yankee and Kansas City slugger. Cerv had his jaw broken by a pitched ball a few years back. Rigney got his in an auto accident two years ago. Bridges, a colorful chap acter who always has a plug of tobacco in his mouth on the field and a big stogie jut ting from his jaw when he's not playing, is philosophical about his role with the An-eels. "I guess I've been with more ball clubs than any oth er suv vou could name," he said. "Brooklyn, Cincinnati Washington. Detroit, Clnvc land and now the Angels. The old Boston Braves once own cd me but It was only on paper and 1 never played for NIEDER BOUT CANCELED Santa Monica, Calif. - IUPD -Bill Nieder, Olympic shotput ting champion who covets the world's heavyweight boxing crown, planned Saturday to shop for a new manager. The handsome 26-ycar-old athlete Friday night blamed his man ager, Bertys Perry, for his trouble with the Nevada box ing commission and the Plaza amletic club which had plan ned to promote a fight April 17 in Reno, Nev., between Nieder and Rayork Beccrra, British Columbia heavy weight. The club cancelled the fight Friday night. Beavers Blank Tulsa Nine 6-0 Homestead, Fla. - OIPD -The Portland Beavers defeat ed Tulsa, 6-0, here Friday for their third exhibition season baseball victory in four starts. Jim Baxes and Al Herring led the Portland attack with two hits and two runs-batted-in each. Veteran Harry Byrd, who pitched the first three Innings, got the win.
