White Sox Look For Top Catcher By GENE BLUDEAU ICepeda were both prospects in United Press International this regard, Short said, and of CHICAGO (UPI) If there's 'he two, he was "more interest- a sadder lament than that about the one that got away, check with the Chicago White Sox. They're looking for two who got away. Either one John Romano of the Cleveland Indians or Earl Battey of the Minnesota Twins would be just what the doctor ordered in Chicago's search for a good right-handed hitting catcher. General Manager Ed Short said he is getting nowhere try ing to find one. "This is our No. 1 require ment. The only American League catchers who would fill the bill are Elston Howard, Bat tey or Romano. And there's no chance of getting them," Short said Monday. The White Sox never had any claim to Howard, but Battey and Romano both served as sub stitutes behind Sherm Lollar. Acquire Roy Slcvers Battey's most active year with the White Sox was in 1958 when he appeared in 68 games. Romano was in 53 games with the White Sox in 1959, before he went to Cleveland in a deal that brought Minnie Minoso to Chi cago. For Battey, another player a $150,000 the White Sox got Roy Sievers from the Washington Senators. Short said his club is also looking over National League catchers but he named none he would prefer in the senior loop. Barring a sudden turn for the better, the White Sox may have to settle for a powerful right handed batter in any position, preferably in the outfield.

CQ m peaa. "An Encouraging Season" Short reviewed what he called "an encouraging but not satis factory season" for the second place White Sox. "We were close enough this season to be cautious in our deals for '64," he said. "We're anxious for more power, but we won't weaken our club to get it." The White Sox mav again have to depend on Dave Nichol son for their right-hand power, but Short said this was not as bad as it might sound. "I . know that he set an all time strikeout record of 175 strikeouts which will stand for a long time, but I will make a qualified prophecy that Nichol son has a chance to become the most exciting player in all base ball." Short said the qualification was a question of Nicholson meeting the ball, "and that could come any time." Servicemen IN BIG LIFT Army Pfcs. Elgie A. Mor ris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Blaine A.

LOUIS (UPI) - Roger Craig, "losingest" pitcher with the New York Mets, was in the St. Louis Cardinal camp today with the chance of a lifetime to hit the win column with reg ularity.

Man ager Johnny Keane and Devine agreed that the club found it more "desirable" to add a pitcher and give one of the manv vounE Cardinal outfield ers on the roster a crack at Musial's job, and the one now vacated bv Altman.

Devine worked a trade with the Milwaukee Braves for Lew Burdette. "Craig gives us stability and maneuverability in our pitch ing," said Devine. Craig showed a 49-38 record with the Dodgers before mov ing to the Mets in the 1961 ex pansion draft. He turned in a 10-24 mark in 1962, and dropped to a 5-22 record in 1963, includ ing the near-record losing streak of 18 games. In eight of Craig's losses, New York was whitewashed, and he lost four 1-0 decisions. Craig, at his Lakcwood, Calif., home said "This gives me an opportunity to show I can still be a winning pitcher with a little more support." I got a little worried about my ability along the way last season when I lost so many in a row," he said. 1 Know I'm a better pitcher than that."
