'56 May Be Mantle ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. (NEA) Mickey Mantle has played golf for only two months, but already has shot 90 twice. The Switcher swats a golf ball from the right side, and he hits it like a baseball Phillies In Need Of Doctor, Not Players By HARRY GRAYSON . NEA Sports Editor CLEARWATER, Fla. (NEA) Robert R. M. Carpenter Jr., has become a "yes man" with the Phil lies. Carpenter, the red hot fan, sits in the sun back of third base watching his club work out at Clearwater's new Jack Russell Stadium. Ask the owner about the playing personnel and he throws a thumb In Harney's direction, and says: "whatever he says, I say." Carpenter acted as his own gen eral manager for several years only to see the pennant-winning Whiz Kids of 1950 become the Phis Kids. While the bright lads who to quickly came out of no where to upset the Dodgers didn't precisely fall apart, they lost con siderable of their early foot. Car penter changed managers and in the fall of 1954 brought in Harney from the Yankee organization to run the works. A young man with the money of a DuPont heir can afford to pay someone to suffer the aggravation that goes with the Philadelphia Na tionals. This year, the club's chances de pend more on medical science than baseball skill. As previously re ported, renowned bonesetters can not find anything wrong with Curt Simmons' left shoulder, yet fore most psychotechnicians cannot get the once fearsome lefthand pitcher to throw hard. Granny Hamner was operated on Berry Signs Pact VANCOUVER (UP) Wayne Ber ry, former halfback with Washing ton State and the New York Giants of the National Football League, has been signed by the British Columbia Lions. Cincinnati's Redlegs set a new team record for home runs in 1955 when they clouted 181 four baggers. rxaco rx&ce aturaay CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Saturday Saturday" ""g. 4j " 2:45 Thursday Friday 3:15 pn . . - - . xnursaay 8:45 pn a country mile. Mantle complains that he cannot find anyone to play golf with in St. Petersburg. The Yankees' slug ging center fielder asked Yogi Berra to play. "Go get a rep," last summer for a loose tendon in his left shoulder. Harney felt it necessary to make sure that the star shortstop could swing a, bat with something approaching 'h 1 s former vlclousness before giving him a satisfactory contract. Richie Ashburn won the National League batting championship last trip, but limped' in with a sad aacroiliac which could return at any time. Jim Greengrass was treated for hemophlebltis in a leg. Joe Lon nett underwent a knee operation. Once past this medical mess, the Phils have nothing jnore than the usual quota of spring aches, pains and problems. Last year. Mayo Smith had to scramble for pitching after using Robin Roberts, Herman Wehmeier and Murry Dickson, the latter now 39. Unless Simmons gets it out of his head that he can't cut loose, and there is no early indica tion that the southpaw will. Mana ger Smith faces the task of develop ing or otherwise obtaining a pitch er or two. If Hamner can stay sound, the Phils have half of a double play combination who can swat the long ball. Bobby Morgan has demon strated that he is nothing more than a utility iniielder. Roy Small ey doesn't hit enough. The hope, therefore. Is Teddy Kazanski, the $75,000 bonus beauty back from Syracuse a bit more matured at the ripe old age of 22. He only has to hit the ball with some share of the verve with which he fields it. All Ashburn, the incomparable lead-off man, has to do to upset infields and otherwise stir up trou ble -is stay on his pins, but he practically was paralyzed when his back kicked up late last sea son and he had to be helped from the field in Chicago. The Phils require Ashburn's cen ter fielding and speed and Green grass' thump, for there is nothing behind them in the out-field but fill-ins and pinch-hitters. You run into veterans here like - Frank Baumholtz and W a 1 1 y Westlake, and Glen Gorbous, who can't hit nearly as well as he throws. With Stan Lopata at first base. Lonnett, who showed promise at Syracuse before his knee buckled, is needed to back up and spell the 35-year-old catcher, Andy Scm inlck. So Smith awaits the final medi cal reports and Harney the antici pated headaches. And Carpenter says, "Yes."

So Mantle spent the better part of the day watching Yankee young sters in an intra-squad game at Miller Huggins Field. While he says he weighs the same 195 pounds Mantle 1 o o k bigger and stronger after his ton sillectomy of mid-January. He suf fered from Infected tonsils and a resultant strep throat for two years. Between osteomyelitis, a trick knee and hamstring muscle, bad tonsils and whatnot, Mantle has not enjoyed a complete and all out spring training season since he became a Yankee regular. This will be his first. And it could be the year when this vet eran of 24 finally will live up to his tremendous potential, greater than that of any other player. not excluding Willie Mays and Duke Snider. "Could be," grins the Mick, "if I don't pull another leg." While carving his tonsils, sur geons put an OK oh the right knee that has bothered Mantle since he tore the cartilage In it while stopping quickly and step ping on the cover of a sprinkling system outlet in right-center field of Yankee Stadium in the second game of the 1951 World Series. Two separate operations were required to mend it. Mantel was mostly kept out of last fall's World Series as the re sult of pulling the hamstring muscle In !hff halr nf hl riffht. t.hlffh when he turned on an extra spurt of speed beating out a bunt in a late season game with the Red Sox. He's done this two or three times. No one ever played baseball so well under so many severe han dicaps, physical and otherwise. Young Mantle was harassed by the military draft and poison pen let ters. Draft regulations actually were changed because of Mantle, A N ' i DiMag Visits Camp, Finds Urge To Play ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., (UP) The tall, graceful figure was fa miliar except for the gray thatch on top when he stood at the Hug gins Field batting cage and it was no wonder that a new generation of New York Yankees gawked like kids at a side show. It was Joe DiMaggio, who flew to St. Petersburg on a "sentimen tal Journey" yesterday marking the 20th anniversary of the day he reported to the Yankees in 1936. DiMaggio retired in 1951 but it was like old times when he visited Manager Casey Stengel In the club house and then stationed himself alongside the batting cage. CHAMP RUNNER-UP s Year but when a fourth examination found osteomyelitis near his ankle arrested, the medicos would not pass the bum knee. Mantle had to lick emotional in stability that came with big league responsibilities thrust upon him as the successor of the renowned Joe DiMagglo at 19. So eager was the bewildered youngster to make good and right up into last season he actually cried and chewed finger nails as his strikeout total mounted. Schooled baseball men contend that with his speed of a prairie wind, Mantle rarely should be held httless in a game. He bunts and drags well. Like all power hitters. Mantle no doubt figures that he is de meaning himself when he does not take his full cut. ' But behind the shy Oklahoman's lack of audacity could be his brittle legs and the memory of what hap pened to him on that bunt against the Bosox last autumn. We hope not, for nobody ever had more desire for the business than the son of the Commerce zinc miner. When Mantle signed h contract at the Yankees' Fifth Ave nue offices a month or so ago. Bill DeWItt asked him when he in tended to return home. "This afternoon," replied the Mick. DeWitt suggested that he stick around for a week or two. "We could line up four or five speak ing dates that would net you a neat piece of change," urged the assistant to General Manager George Weiss. "Mr. DeWItt," said Mantle, "I won't be a b 1 e to spend all the money I've Just signed for." , Young Mantle either is a poor businessman or his throat was still too sore to argue. He signed for $25,000. All he had to do to .get (30.000 was to ask for it. But money actually is still sec onday to Mickey Mantle. He Just likes to play baseball. "The urge really is there," Joe said wistfully, "Four years make a long rest." MIAMI. Fla., (UP) The Brook lyn Dodgers take the field for the first time as world champions to night with Ted Williams and the Boston Red Sox supplying the op position. Shortstop Peewee Reese will be sidelined with a pulled back mus cle but Manager Walt Alston will otherwise field essentially the same team that knocked off the New York Yankees In the final game of the 1955 world series. The Red Sox, meanwhile, prom ised that Williams would play at least five innings. Williams usually ducks exhibition games but wants to play this year because he is so far advanced in his training. He sharpened up his batting eye at Sarasota, Fla., yesterday by turn ing In a brilliant performance in batting practice. "Needled" by a Boston baseball writer who claimed Ted couldn't hit a ball over the 375-foot distant right field fence, Williams prompt ly blasted a 400-foot "homer" ad followed with an even longer drive.
