MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON SUNDAY. MARCH 31, 19S3 MedfordTribuhi Washington Can Go No Way But Up By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sporii Editor Pompano Beach, Fla. - IUPD -Manager Mickey Vernon frankly admits the lowly Washington Senators are go ing to continue hurting until their kids blossom. And he knows that will not be in 1963. Vernon has only one opti mistic observation for the coming season. "One thing for sure, we can't fall any lower," he ex plains. "There's no way to go but up." Last year the Senators won only 60 games while losing 101, finishing 35 games be hind the Yankees. "We've tried to help the team with trades but the other clubs only offer second string players for our first line ones, and we have more than enough of that caliber of players now," Vernon ex plained. The 1963 club is a rag-tag outfit as presently constituted and there's a wild open scram ble for most of the jobs. Pitching Strongest Point Pitching could he the club's strongest department for it is the Senator hurlers the bther clubs talk about when deals are proposed. Especially sought after are Dave Sten house (11-12) and Claude Os teen (8-13). For his other starters Ver non will choose from Don Ru dolph (8-10), Tom Cheney (7-9), Bennie Daniels (7-16), Ed Boubaugh (0-2), Joe Mc Clain (0-4), or rookie Jim Duckworth, a 10-game win ner at Rockv Mount last sea son. There isn't too much in the way of bullpen prospects so some of those possible starters may have to be used in relief. Steve Hamilton, . 3-8 last season and Art Quick, the former Oriole who was 2-2 with Baltimore and 7-6 with Rochester in 1962, are the leading relief candidates. The infield is really a hodge podge affair. Tom r Brown, University of Mary land bonus boy, has looked good at first base in the ab sence of Rogelio Alvarez, who hit .318 at San Diego last -season. Alvarez has been delayed getting out of Cuba, Vernon, needing a shortstop, has been trying M a r v Breeding at short, second and third. Breed ing came in a deal with Balti more. Chuck Cottier may keep the second base job he held down last season if Breeding is needed at short or third. John Schaive is another holdover infielder who hit .256 last year. Cottier batted .242, Breeding .246 with the Ori oles. He's even giving tryouts to Lou Klimchock, the one-time bonus baby who never lived up to his price tag, and Ron Stillwell, who batted only ,220 at Syracuse. Another possi bility is John Kennedy, who hit .262 in 14 games with the Senators. The outfield outlook is brighter, especially if Jim Piersall comes back from his poor season of last year when he batted only .244. The year before with Cleveland he batted .322. Chuck Hinton, who led the Senators at bat last season with an average of .310, will bold down another outfield spot. Don Lock, who hit only .253, could win the third out field berth. Other candidates are hold over Jim King (.243), Barry Shetrone, obtained from Balti more where he hit .250 in 21 games; and rookies Brant Alyea, a .319 hitter at Ge neva; Nelson Gardner, who batted .313 at Dothan and Louis Pinella, up from Selma where he batted .270. Don Leppert, obtained from Pittsburgh, could be the No. 1 catcher, winning the job over Ken Retzer, last year's regu lar receiver. Leppert hit only .266 in the limited action he saw with the Pirates while Retzer batted .285. The third catcher will be Bob Schmidt, who backed up Retzer last season and hit .242. Looking over that roster, it's obvious why Vernon ex pects the Senators to be hurt ing again in 1963.

(U1P) - Cook Says Butts Gave Bryant 'Vital' Data Atlanta - (UPB - Georgia at torney General Eugene Cook said last night his investiga tion indicates that Wally Butts gave vital information to Alabama coach Paul Bry ant before last year's Georgia Alabama football game. 'It appears from the evi dence of my investigation plus the polygraph examina tion that vital and important information was given by Butts to Bryant about the Georgia team before the game," Cook said. The attorney general also said the information "could have affected the outcome of the game and the margin of points scored." 'Cook is investigating a na tional magazine article which charged that Butts, long-time head coach and athletic direc tor at Georgia who resigned a few months ago, and Bryant conspired to rig the outcome of the Sept. 22 Georgia-Alabama game. The Saturday Evening Post article quoted Atlanta insur ance man George Burnett as saying he overheard a tele phone conversation between the two in which Butts passed on game plans to the Alabama mentor.

Gridiron Rebuilding Work Told Work of reconstructing the playing field at the Medford High school stadium was de scribed to Medford Lineback ers on Friday by Assistant School Superintendent Russ Acheson. Acheson, reporting at the club's luncheon at North's Chuck Wagon, said the old crown, which had sticky soil in it, was nauied off. Trie ground was scarified 20 inches deep. Then 600-yards of sand were mixed into the soil by use of a grader. A crown of 19 inches was built and the soil was roto-tilled. Four - Inch tile has been put in for drainage and a wa ter line is being installed down the middle of the field. A sterilizing substance, effec tive 10 inches deep will be applied.
