pansion moves have been
made in ' continued major
league fashion, and that in
terest . and excitement are
going to be greater and more
intense, as wen as more wiae

Encouragement has . been

spring training period. ; The
intense enthusiasm in the

Achieve Progress
Indeed, much as been ac
complished and tremendous
progress achieved in the brief
span of time between last Oc
tober and - the approaching
opening day, which will find
10 teams ready for action and
competition, thanks to the co
operation and hard work of

er teams training in Florida,
In recent weeks. Reports from
the Aritona and California
camps of the Boston Red Sox,
Cleveland Indani and Los

matter of daily menu.
It would be easy to predict
that a 10-team pennant raco
is in prospect, but perhaps
not realistic.
$ However, one of the first
evident fruits of expansion
has been tremendous stride
toward aohlevlng a balance

Win Streak
Predicted
By Dodgers
: Phoenix, Aris.-wf5-The Los
Angeles Dodgers took on the
San Francisco Giants today as
ready as "they're ever going
to be" for the season opener
next Tuesday, according to
Manager Walter Alston.
The Dodgers Tuesday
trimmed the Cleveland In
dians 8-S with Roger Craig
allowing only two runs and
six innings he worked..
"We haven't worn anybody
out this spring, but neither
have the Yankees and I see
where they're picked to win,"
Alston said. -
He said he was proud of the
way the team has performed
up to now and predicted they
would start off on a winning
streak next week.
As Alston handed out praise
to the team in general, star
second baseman Charlie Neal
said he was ready to be a .900
hitter.
'I should hit .300 if I atop
going for the fences," Neal
aaid Tuesday, "I'm just trying
for base hits now and I'll set
tle for the higher average
rather than home runs, I'm
looking forward to my best
year at the plate." V . . ,
Neal hit his peak of .287 as
one of the sparkplugs in the
Dodgers' 1859 pennant drive
but slipped to .288 last year.
In Tuesday's action. Willie
Klrkland hit a two-run homer
off rookie Ron Perranoaki in
the eighth inning to bring the
Tribe up within a run of the
Dodgers, 8-4, But the Dodgers
scored three in the ninth with
catcher Norm Sherry's double
being the big blow. Cleve
land filled the bases in the
ninth with none put but could
only score one run,

UPI Sports Editor
West Palm Beach, Fla.r-IUPIW
The Kansas City Athletics,
with a new owner, a new sen
eral manager and a new field
doss, -are hoping for better
things in 1981,
Thay also have a lot of new
faces in their playing per
sonnel, although the key per
formers probably will be pret
ty much the same as last year
whan the Athletios finished In
the American league cellar.
. They should escape that this
year, with the league expand
ed to 10 teams, and their new
manager, Joe Gordon, thinks
the club js good enough to
win half Its games, i
The new owner, millionaire
Charles Flnley, Is ready to
take th band off his bank
roll to buy players, but has
had no success. Frank
(Trader) Lane desperately Is
trying to make deals to
strengthen the club, but has
been balked at almost every
turn because he doesn't have
the necessary trading r
terial. '
New Job Tougher
Gordon, who divided his
time managing Cleveland and
Detroit last season, admits he
has a "lot more problems
with the Athletics than he did
with either of those teams.
"But with what we have
we ought to be able to play
.800 ball," Gordon insists. But
when you examine the play
ing talent available It's hard
to find rhat Gordon bases his
prediction on.
He ii; pitching and infield
problems. Unless he solves
them, the A's could well finish
behind one or both of the new
clubs In the league - Wash
ington and Los Angeles.
Bud Daley (16-16) and Ray
Herbert (14-15) are the only
two pitchers sura of starting
berths. After those two, Gor
don admits his pitching situ
atlon is scrambled.
For his other starters Gor
don will have to choose from
Dick Hall (8-13), Johnny
Kucks (4-10) and Joe Nuxhall,
1-8 with Cincinnati. Larsen,
who haa been slipping steadily
since his World Series perfect
game In 1956, has been the
most Impressive of the A's
twlrlers thus far this spring,
Heada Relievers
Ken Johnson (5-10) will
head the bullpen crew with
Dave Wickersham, who did
some good work In relief after
winning 10 games at Shreve
port, behind him. Jim Archer,
11-12 at Miami; Bill Kunkel,
8-9 at Montreal, and Ed Kee
gan, 6-7 at Indianapolis, are
other possibilities.
The catching staff is all
new with Joe Pignatano, a
fine defensive receiver pur
chased from the Los Angeles
Dodgers, the No. 1 man. Clint
Courtney, obtained from the
Orioles, and Hayward Sulli
van, the former Red Sox bo
nus player, will be the other
catchers,
The outfield, If not brll
liant, figures to be acceptable
With Norm Slebern (.279) in
left, speedy Bill Tuttle (.256)
In center and the veteran
Hank Bauer (.275), Al Pilar,
elk, who hit .247 at Balti
more, and rookie Jay Han-
kins, who hit .300 at Shrevtf-
port,, battling it out for the
right field berth.
-.Leo Posada, who hit .361
with the A's after being
brought up from Shreveport
late last season, and bonus
baby Lou Kllmchock, are
other outfield possibilities.
Kllmchock was shifted after
failing to make the grade as
a second baseman
Half of the infield is set
with Jerry Lumpe (.272) at
second and Andy Carey (.233)
at third.. Bob Boyd, who hit
.317 as a pinch-hitter and part
time pertormer with the
Orioles last season, and Marv
Throneberry (.250) are the
first base candidates.
Gordon will be hurting for
a' shortstop if rookie t Dick
Howser doesn't make the
grade. Howser hit .349 at
Sioux City and .338 at Shreve.
port last year. Behind him
Gordon has . only Wayne
Causey, the ex-Oriole who hit
.265 at Vancouver last year.
In Dick Williams the Ath
letics have the best all-around
utility man in the game. He
can play first, third, the out
field and catch. He hit .288
last year and is sure to see a
lot of action somewhere in
the lineup.
But putting all of them, to
gether, it's hard to see the
Athletics throwing fear into
most, of the other clubs this
year. They may have all they
can handle in Washington and
Los Angeles.

not plan, to fine the three

of fights, but I do approve of
people defending themselves."
Dark claimed the players
were not drunk and police
gave them no tests to deter

forfeit their bonds of $30 each
