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.

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.

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. Then merion blue
grass will be sown.
The work on the field fol
lowed soil analysis.
Dr. Leonard Mayfield, Med
ford - school superintendent,
pointed out that the work is
being done with money from
the receipts of football games
and not with school budget
funds. He said that other im
provements projected had
been cut out "to do the thing
right" on the football field.
Larry Green, of the Cave
men Bench, Grants Pass
sports booster group, suggest
ed periodic joint meeting of
booster organization of the
various communities with the
possibility of joint projects
for the betterment of south
ern Oregon. Said Green, "A
school is only as good as the
community behind it."
