FRIDAY
Boast Strong Infield
Gagliano, native of Mem
phis, is a six-foot, 170 pound
er who hit .315 last year for
Memphis as a shortstop in. the
Southern association. 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

6-2 and putting 200 pounds
behind his batting swing.
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

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. Rickey Froh-

for Sacramento in '58. He
