CLAYTON HANNON, Sport tditoi Seattle, Portland In First Meeting Of Year Nellie Fox, White Sox Improving NEW YORK (NEA) Three years after practically everybody had accepted Nelson Fox as quite a second baseman, Paul Richards said he couldn't make, the double play well enough to beat the Van kees. It seems that Nellie Pox had 9 little trouble going to the bag with the wrong foot. It was costing him a step in making the pivot. As recently as this spring. Man ager Richards considered switch ing little Foxie to third base. But Fox's fault has been elimt- nated, which is one of the princi- pal reasons why the Chicago Americans have been bitten by tne pennant bug.. -Marty Marion is credited witn Fox's improvement in the very im portant department of the double killing and knocking tne other side out of a big Inning. When Slats Marion told Arthur Ehlers the truth about the Orioles-and. began being paid $35,000 for not manag ing them, Richards had his man. No one ever made the double play better than the long-time Mr. Shortstop. A rap against Don Johnson, in addition to the fact that h 1 s pitching was confined to attempt ing to blow his fast ball by hitters. was that he wasn't too accom plished as a fielder. With the Souther Siders. the big Oregonian has a better controlled hard one. excellent curve, a slider, a knuckler and- a change of pace. Practice has made him a fifth in- fielder. It used to be that when a ball player came to the majors ' he was expected to have all the an swers. He was called on to leave 11 his mistakes in the - minors, which were for schooling. Richards and Casey Stengel re peatedly have demonstrated that experienced big league perform ers can be benefitted by instruc tion. That is among the numerous reasons why the Yankees have won five consecutive champion ships. To a large extent it Is why a rather mediocre white Sox outfit threatens to make a race of it right down to the wire. A lot of little things could add up to a flag. For the first time since he took over at Comlskey Park, Richards has enough ballplayers to go around. The Pale Hose can't be south- pawed to death as they were' last trip, when they had four left-hand swingers in the batting order and Eddie Lopat and Whitey Ford beat them nine times.- The left hand hitters have been re duced to two, Fox and Ferris Fain. " Richards has a right-hand hit ting outfield, Minnie Mlnoso, John ny Oroth and Bill Wilson, who manufactured 34 home runs for Memphis, He has left-hand hitting flychasers In Jim Rivera, Bob Boyd, Willard Marshall, Ed Stewart and Don Nicholas, a little fellow up from Charleston of the American Association and who gets on base. Rivera and Bill Wilson have played center field.' Boyd Is an excellent first baseman.

Marv Grinom delightedly lifted the left arm of Whitey Loclcman after Iht first baseman hit 279 foot home run that gave the veteran a 1-0 thutout. Lockman felt that it should have been the other way around when the 36 year old right hander qualified ai a Giant starter with a three hit performance aqainit Robin Roberts and the Phillioi. (.rissom Could Be N L Sleeper By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK (NEA) Blank ing the Phillies with three hits the other afternoon, Marvin Edward Grtssom gave unmistakable evi dence thai he Is to be a Giant sU'eper. Marv Grlssom had a kind of easy season last year: not loo much work, and his arm Is strong again. The big right-hander can really throw, and is a very earnest, de termined fellow. A pitcher developing a new pitch requires someone to practice on. and Grlssom last fall used the Ja panese for the purpose ot develop ing a scrcwbnll. In a relief stint this spring, he handcuffed Duke Snider and the Dodgers with It. Obtained from the Red Sox on waivers last mid-summer, Grls som stopped the Phillies cold for ix Innings as a Iireman, tnen tired. That gave Llppy Leo Durrocher the Impression that the 36-year-old was strictly a relief worker with a limit of - five or six rounds. But when he breezed by the Phillies tor his first start this year, the Polo Grounders had an added start er. You now wonder why Olrssom was waived out of the American League. The Giants took htm be cause, with Sal Maglle and Larry Janscn ailing, they were desperate ly In need of someone who could get the ball over the plate with something on It. , American Leaguers undoubtedly suspected that Grlssom had a sore aim. He has a lame arm nistroy. Grlssom has been a funny kind of a pitcher. He had only one genu inely good year in Triple A, where he lingered for five campaijnis, turning in 20 victories for the Seat tle Coasters In 1951. He did not break into organized baseball until he was 23, and got In only one scascA before being taken by the military for four years. When Grlssom nad it, nowever. lie beat the tough clubs In the minors and the majors. With the White Sox In 1952, he was one ol the mighty few pitchers who con sistently bothered the Yankees. Orlssom gives the Giants a sec ond elder statesman, the other one being of course, Sal Maglle, who Is 37, If Maglle keeps going and Larry Janscn conies around, the Giants are going to be exceedingly rough, for in Johnny Antonelll they acquired another "big" pitcher. Winning his first three mis trip. Maglle yielded six earned runs In By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS BATTING Ted KluszcwskI, Cincinnati Rcdlegs Walloped tnree home runs and drove in eight runs, four In each game, as the Redlegs split with the St. Louis Cardinals.
