Phil has been batting at a better than .350 clip here in camp, and fielding in spectacular style. Gagliano signed with St. Louis in 1960 for $10,000 when he graduated from high school. He opened the '60 sea son with Dothan in the Class D ' Alabama-Florida league, hitting .280 in 89 ' games. Memphis, fast company for a rookie, called Gagliano in mid-season, and he responded brilliantly in the final 43 games of the AA Southern Association season. Buchek, a native of St. Louis, is consedered by vet eran Cardinal Farm Director Walter Shannon as the "finest infield prospect ever signed by St. Louis." This glittering estimation has been backed by all -time Cardinal short- s t o p star Marty Marion. Marion has been working with Buchek in spring train ing, and labels him a defi nite candidate' for future Hall-of-Fame status. Gerry, a 10-letter star in three high school sports in St. Louis, signed out of high school in 1960 and was sent directly to Tulsa of the AA Texas league. He hit .333 for the Oilers in 36 games, then finished the season with Ro chester of the AAA Interna tional league, hitting .226 in 99 contests. Buchek, 6 feet and 180 pounds, is a cat in covering his position and shows signs of developing into a brilliant batter. The remainder of the pro missing Portland infield is composed of veteran third baseman Jim Baxes and hot young Cardinal property Leon Duke Carmel. Baxes, 32, has had the best spring training session of his career, responding to the chal- lence of the many youngsters in Beaver uniform. Big Jim, 6-2, 200, has been in profes sional baseball since 1947. He played two seasons wilh Port land in 1956-57, hitting .240 and .259. He spent 1958 with Spokane in the Coast league, where he batted .271, then moved up to the majors in '59. Baxes banged the ball at a .239 clip in 77 games with Cleveland that season. He re turned to Portland last sea son, and hit .231 in 113 games for the loss-prone Beavers, Jim s long-ball hitting in spring camp here indicated he may be set for is best sea son at the plate. Carmel, 23, is ithe ideal size for a first baseman, standing HURLS FOUR-HITTER Homestead, Fla. -UPD- Left hander Mel Nelson hurled a four-hitter Monday to lead the Portland Beavers to a 9-1 spring training baseball vic tory over Billings of the Class C Pioneer league. The Beav ers open their regular Pacific Coast league schedule at Salt Lake City Friday.

Signed from a Bronx, N.Y. sand lot in 1956, Carmel has risen rapidly in 5 pro seasons. The big New York native hit 29 home runs for Billings in the Pioneer league in 57, swatted 23 out of the park for Tulsa in '59. Duke was called up to the Cards at the end of both the '59 and-'60 seasons, but saw little action. He hit .291 for Tulsa in '59, but slumped in '60, with a .244 average at St. Paul in the American association. His bat has been booming here at Homestead, where he has hit six out of the park in exhibi tion games. Clarence Moore, 29, a two- year Portland performer, is Lone Pine Pitcher Fires No-Hitter; Loses 4 to 3 Elementary school baseball, action Monday afternoon was highlighted by a game be tween Lone Pine and Lincoln. Lone Pine pitcher Kent Clark twirled a no-hitter but ended up as the losing pitcher. Lincoln pushed across four runs by virtue of six walks and two Lone Pine errors. Lone Pine could manage only three runs. Ray Curl, Lincoln mound ace, didn t do so badly himself, as he held Lone Pine batsmen to a lone hit. Bud Chadd spoiled Curl's perfect game attempt. Chadd rapped a double that brought in two runs. Hoover topped Jefferson 8 to 7, Roosevelt dumped Jack son 8 to 2, Howard blasted Griffin Creek 13 to 3, Wash ington edged Wilson 7 to 6, and Oak Grove downed Jack sonville 14 to 8 in other games. Terry Schulz was winning pitcher for Hoover, however, he yielded 13 free passes. Jef f e r s o n moundsmen allowed eight walks. Walks were costly for Jack son in their contest against Roosevelt. Jackson mounds men issued 10 passes. Howard won their fourth straight game when they beat Griffin Creek.

JACKSON SP 3-6661 FREE PARKING MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, expected to handle utility in field duties. Moore, a short stop by trade, is potentially a fine hitter. He is in his 9th season of pro play. Moore hit .258 for San Diego in '56, .298 for Louisville of the Ameri can association in '57, .259 for Sacramento in '58. He rapped the ball at a .247 pace for Portland in 1959, then slumped with he rest of the Beavers last season, hitting only .218. Moore is the fastest man on the '61 Portland roster. Manager Benson assesses his infield as "potentially the best I've worked with as a manager." Benson adds that "no team in the Coast league should be abolt to match our infield defensive strength." reich chalked up his fourth straight pitching victory for Howard. Griffin Creek now has a 2-2 record. Phil Hackworth hit a home run for Wilson in his team's losing effort against Washing ton. Gary Hulse rapped two hits for Jacksonville against Oak Grove.- . ...
