Adcock, Triandos Impress
In New Uniforms; SF Beaten
By DICK JOYCE
UPI Sports Writer
Joe Adcock and Gus Trian
dos - lone ball clouters who
suffered disappointing lea
sons in 1962 - appear to have
gained a new lease on life
with a change oi unuorms.
Adcock. acquired by Cleve
land from the Milwaukee
Braves, hit a pair of three-run
homers In leading the Indians
to an 11-3 exhibition victory
over the Houston Colts Mon
dav. Triandos. obtained from
the Baltimore Orioles, wal
loped a homer and drove
home four runs In the Detroit
Tigers' 17-3 triumph over the
Washington Senators.
The 34-year-old Adcock, a
hard-hitting National league
first baseman for 13 seasons,
sliDDed to a .248 batting aver
age last year, far below his
lifetime .282 mark, nowever,
Joe belted 29 homers and
drove in 78 runs in 1962 so
Cleveland Manager Birdie
Tebbetts. who managed Mil
waukee last year, thought
enough of Adcock to take him
along to Cleveland.
Suffered Injured Hand
Triandos,. who spent most
of the last 4'4 seasons trying
to catch Hoyt Wilhelm's elus
ive knuckleballs, got into
only 66 games last season,
hitting .159, because of an
injured hand - the result of
a Wilhelm pitch.
The 32-year-old Triandos,
who has three times tied the
major league record of four
passed balls in a game, was
never happier when traded
and may take the No. 1 back
stop job over Mike Roarke
and rookie Bill Freehan.
Another disappoint m e n t
last year, third baseman Bub
ba Phillips, who batted only
.258 for Cleveland, rapped
five hits for Detroit Monday
as the Tigers pounded out 17
hits while Phil Regan and
Dick Egan held the Senators
to four hits.

Slate With Almost
Same Aggregation
(This is the eighth of 20
dispatches on the 1963 proi
peels of major league base'
ball clubi.)
By SCOTT BAILLIE
Palm Springs, Calif.- (UPD -
The Los Angeles Angels enter
the 1963 season sporting prac
tically the same club that
amazed the American league
last year with a third-place
finish after coming home
eighth in their '62 maiden
voyage.
And the Angels were com
paratively idle at the trading
post this winter following a
furious year of bartering
which saw General Manager
Fred Hancy swing more than
40 deals involving 54 players.
However, manager Bill Rig
ney declares, "If we didn't
deal away gus like Leon
Wagner, Lee Thomas, Ken
McBride and Dan Osinski -then
we were guilty of stand
ing still."
Those four men figure
largely in plans to prove the
rise of "Rlgney's marvels"
from eighth to third place
wasn't a fluke.
"We finished a little ahead
of schedule last year," Rig
ney says. "Now our problem
is to do as well as last season.
And we know that the other
clubs really will be laying
for us."
Pitching, Outfield Strong
The outfield and pitching
arc regarded as the club's
strong points. But Rigncy
would like to acquire another
left-handed luirlcr.
Back in left field will be
ner, who hit 37 home runs
last year and drove in 107
base runners while hitting a
potent .268. The Angels' oth
er "crasher is first baseman
outfielder Lee Thomas who
hit .290, belted 26 homers
and knocked in 104 runs
The rest of the outfield has
diminutive Alble Pearson In
center and Kent Hunt or
George Thomas In right.
Hunt led the Angels with
25 homers and 84 runs-batted
in during the 1961 season but
appeared In only 13 games
late last year after dislocat
ing a shoulder.
Hignry feels that he has
three potential 20-gninc win
ners In McBride (11-5), Dean
Chance (14-10) and Bo Bclln
skv (10-11), the left-handed

The Giants, losers of 10 of
their past dozen spring train
ing efforts, hoped to get back
on the win track today when
they hosted the Los Angeles
Angels.
They dropped another Mon
day thanks to a bag-jammed
double by Frank Malzone of
the Bosox in the sixth.
But even in defeat, a few
Giants looked good. Jack San
ford continued his steady
hurling and Jim Davenport
and Ernie Bowman their rip
roaring batting.
Sanford, winner of 24 con
tests last season, gave up four
hits and one unearned run in
five innings of work. He has
an 0.62 earned run average
over 13 innings of spring
tossing.
Don Larsen then took over
and eave uo the three -run
double to Malzone that spell
ed defeat for San Francisco.
Davenport, his left thumb
tightly wrapped to cushion an
injury, hit his first homer in
the second and it was as long
a blast as the hotshot third
sacker has ever hit. It sailed
over the left center field fence
at the 417-foot mark.
Bowman walked and sin
gled twice. He is now hitting
an eye - popping .833 this
spring.
Manager Alvin Dark left
power guys Willie Mays and
night owl who threw a no-
hitter against Baltimore last
season.
Seeks Fourth Starter
Don Lee (8-8) is regarded
as another right-handed start
er while two former stars-
Bob Turlcy (3-3) with the
Yankees last year and Sam
Jones (2-4) at Detroit are
looking for jobs.
The key man in the bull
pen last season was Osinski
(6-4), backed by lefty Jack
Spring (5-2). Ryne Duron,
who was 2-9, bainly In re
lief, has been sold to Phil
adelphia. In addition to Lee Thomas
at first base, the rest of the
infield appears to be set with
Billy Morran at second and
Jim Fregosi at shortstop. At
third it could be Felix Tor
res, a right-hunded longball
hitler, or Tom Sapriano.
Rigney has solid utility
help in Joe Koppe, who can
play second, short or third.
Behind the plate is Bob
Rodgers, a Ralph Ilouk-type,
who caught 150 games last
season and placed second in
the balloting for the Ameri
can League rookie of the
year.
Backing him Is Ed Sadow
ski, a capable veteran. But
a big question is whether
switch-hitting Rodgers can
carry such a load again.
And even bigger is whether
the Angels can handle a
league that may have taken
them too lightly last year.

Kansas City Needs
A Good Left-Handed
Pitcher, Says Lopat
Editor's note: This is the
ninth of 20 dispatches on the
1963 prospects of the major
league baseball teams.
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Bradenton, Fla. - IUPD - A
solid infield, fair outfield and
young, promising pitching
staff short of left handers.
That's the 1963 prospects of
the Kansas City Athletics in
their first season under their
new manager, Ed Lopat.
It is ironic that Lopat, one
of the fine left handed pitch
ers of his major league days,
should take over a club that
lacks southpaw hurling.
"And you don't win pen
nants without it," he observ
ed. The only established left
hander he has is Ted Bows
field, who was 9-8 with the
Angels last season.
"We're hoping to come up
with a couple of others, either
through trades or the develop
ment of our youngsters," Lo
pat explained. But whenever
other clubs mention trade
with the Athletics they ask
for either first baseman Norm
Siebern or second baseman
Jerry Lumpe.
Guts of Club
'And we are not about to
let them go because the in
field is the guts of our ball
club with Siebern and Lumpe
the stickouts," Lopat said. Un
fortunately, it looks like the
A's young left handed pitch
ing prospects are at least a
year away.
Except for that pitching de
ficiency, Lopat is fairly well
satisfied with his club. He
would like to obtain a right
handed power hitter to bat
between Lumpe and Siebern.
The club made a pitch for
Frank Thomas of the Mets,
but when the Mets asked for
Siebern the A's lost their in
terest in Thomas.
With Siebern hitting .308
and Lumpe .301 last season
the A's came up with one ot
the best hitting infields in the
league, Siebern hit 25 home
runs and drove in 117 runs
while Lumpe had 10 homers
with 83 RBIs.
Ed Charles, In his rookie
year at third base, batted .288
with 17 homers and 74 RBIs
while shortstop Dick Howser,
handicapped with a hand in
jury which kept him on the
bench half the season, hit only
.238 with six homers and 34
RBIs. But he has been a better
hitter than that in the past
and Lopat expects him to do
a lot better at the plate this
coming season.
No. 1 Utility Infieldor
Wayne Causey, who has
been looking extra well In
spring exhibition games, will
be the No. 1 utility infielder.
For the outfield, Lopat can go
with his best defensive trio of
Gino Cimoli, Bobby Del Gre
co and Jose Tartabull or his
best hitting trio of Manny Ji
menez, George Alusik and
Chuck Essegian. Jimenez, who
led the league in batting for
the first part of 19(12, wound
up with a .301 average with
11 HRs and 69 RBIs.
A rookie, John Wojick, who
batted .302 with the A's late
last season after being called
up from Albuquerque, has a
chance of making the outfield.
The catching will be han
dled by holdovers Joe Azcue
and Haywood Sullivan and
rookie Bill Bryan. Brynn, who

hit .293 at Albuquerque last
year, could win the first string
job. Sullivan hit only .248
while Azcue was still lower at
.229.
Coming Bullpen Ace
For starting pitchers along
with Bowsfield, Lopat has Ed
Rakow, 14-17; Dave Wicker-
sham, 11-4; Bill Fisher, 4-12;
Dan Pfister, 4-14, and Diego
Segui, 8-5.
And for relief there is John
Wyatt, 10-7, whom many re
gard as the coming bullpen
ace of the league.
Then there are Orlando
Pena, 8-4, and rookies Jose
Santiago, a 16-game winner
at Albuquerque last season,
and Dave Theis, who was 2-4
at Portland. The only trouble
is mat all are right handers
except Bowsfield.
Lopat feels that in Wicker-
sham, Rakow and Pfister he
might have three of the lead
ing right handers in the
league. Wickersham was hurt
some of the season, Rakow
was the workhorse of the
staff and Pfister pitched bet
ter Dan than his record show
ed. Last season the A's finished
ninth. Lopat is confident they
will climb a couple of notches
this year, especially if he can
come up with some more left
handed pitching.
