That will come later. Right now, it's the threat of a Bore arm, whether they're veterans like Curt Simmons or bonus kids like Frank Baiunann. The spring exhibitions have been no picnic tur Simmons of the Phil ' adelphla Phillies, who at 26 may be at the end of the line because ' of persistent arm trouble. Nor have they been reason lor opti mism for Baumann, who returned to the Red Sox from military serv ice with a painful throwing motion.

Baumann, who collected a re ported $125,000 from the Red Sox ' before going Into the service, didn't have even one good inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates yes terday. Control was his trouble too. He walked four and gave three hits as the Bucs belted him for six runs in the sixth. In other games, Baltimore tied the score with two ninth inning runs on Owen Friends' error, then scored four in the lllh on three walks, two singles and Bob Boyd's double to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-5. EVENED SET Brooklyn's world champion Dodgers evened their spring set at 2-all with the New York Yankees by beating their World Series vic tims 5-4 in 10 innings.

Rookie Earl Averlll and Chlco Carrasqucl, late of the White Sox, homered as Cleveland defeated the New York Giants for the sixth time In nine tries 10-6.

Wl IIS? e BAffS-J I'D I SI Marion Relying On Doby TAMPA,' Fla. UP) Marty Marion isn't making any predic tions where his Chicago While Sox will finish this year, but every time he sees his new centerfielder, Larry Doby, come to bat there Is a wide grin on his face. "His power could make a bin difference," Marion says. "Had we had his bat last year we would have won the pennant instead of finishing third, five games behind the Yankees." So, while Marty Isn't worried about power this season, he Is con cerned about his pitching. "We must come up with a fourth starter," he pointed out. "I'm sa tisfied with my bullpen, that's what kept us up there last year. But I have to find at least another starter." That starter will go along with his big three lelt-handers Billy Pierce and Jack Harshman and riRht-hander Dick Donovan. Pierce and Donovan won IS each last season, Harshman 11. CA1.I.KD IP Connie Johnson, who won seven with the White Sox late in the season after being called up from Toronto; the veteran Harry Byrd. who was 1-8 will: the Orioles and White Sox; and rookie Jerry Dahlke, a 19-game winner with Memphis, r'K the leading possibi lities for that io'irth starting spot. , Marty feels th it in Dixie Howell, Morrie Martin, .'lke Fornieles and Sandy Consuegra, he has "as good a relief crew as there is In the league." Consuegra also may be used to start against certain clubs. By getting Doby from Cleveland Marion feels sure the White Sox Minnie Minoso in left with Jim Rivera and Bob Nieman two-platoon Ing in right, especially at the start of the season. For the veter an Cal Abrams, John (Bubba) Phillips and Bob Powell, a bonus player. The only infield spot set is sec ond base where scrappy Nellie Fox will hold forth. Big Walt Dropo hasn't looked too sharp at bat, so Marion has been playing the veteran George Kell, normally a third baseman, at first. ENTERS SCENE Rookie Sam Esposito. who hit .281 at Memphis, has crowded into the third base picture. He is a returning serviceman and would not count on the roster. At short. Marion is banking on rookie Luis Apariclo, who hit .273 at Memphis. Marion, a star short stop himself, is sure Aparicio can field, but the rookie still has to prove he is a major league hitter. Should Aparicio fail to make It, the Job will fall to either Jim Brideweser or another rookie, Carl Peterson, a .306 hitter at San Diego. Sherman Lollar will be the No. 1 catcher. Marlon plans to carry on ly two receivers so he can keep II pitchers. That means that Lcs Moss, .who hit .296 with the Orioles and White Sox last year, and Carl Sawatski, the former Cubs receiver who hit only .268 at Minneapolis, will fight it out for the No. 2 spot. Pitching is the big question mark, and If the White Sox come up with it, they figure to be mighty tough.

The name of Grow's opponent is ex pected to be announced Sunday. , Grow is lined up to take on "Bat tling" Nelson of Portland in a big money main event late in April at Spokane. But after his showing against Ronnie Sanchez here re cently. Smith said Grow has lots of rough spots to polish up before meeting Nelson. The winner of the Spokane bout is expected to jump into the limelight for tests against nationally rated fighters, some thing that every boxer is striving for during his ring career. Smith was especially disturbed at the amount of "missed punch es" his fighter threw in the short lived Sanchez fight. "Although Jimmy stopped that boy (San chez), he made too many mistakes and missed so often," Smith stat ed. "This will be a big gamble for us, but not to be better pre pared for Nelson is an even big ger gamble," Grow's manager added. It took only 2:31 of the second round to do away with Sanchez in a surprisingly fast ending to the armory card. Four of Grow's five fights in Klamath Falls have end ed in knockouts.

Youth Captures Top Sulky Racing Honors By OSCAR FRALEY United presi Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) A young man named Stanley Dancer is turning the staid graybeards of harness racing into whirling derv ishes today. There was a time when the sulky sport had many hard and fast rules when it came to drivers. The men who handled the reins were regarded as novices until they reached their weathered 50's and 60's and you never, never were supposed to go out in front at the start of a race. Dancer changed all that. The curly-baired 28-year-old who looks like a bank clerk or a college siuaeni Degan winning driving championships at 22 and he has proved that you can win going to the front at the start and staying there, "If you can stay there," he grins brown eyes sparkling. "Sometimes it doesn't work." It worked often enough to make him the leading driver at New York's Yonkers Raceway for three years. He also was top man in 1953 at Roosevelt Racewav. an other New York plant where he goes back to work Monday, and was second the last two years. That isn't to infer that he hasn't worked all winter. Dancer puts in 16 hours a day, even during the off season and despite the fact that he doesn't take his horses south. "I don't think the change of climate does them any good," Stanley explains of the 70-odd head he handles for some 24 different owners. "They don't like t h e change in the feel of the ground and after all they do their racing here in the north." 6 FT FANCY CANNON TEA FREE FORD TICKETS, TOO!

Dancer, because of his prefer ence to race on the front end and stay out of trouble, is known as the Teddy Atkinson of harness rac ing. And he is on his way to being a national figure in one of the fastest-rising sports of them all. There was a time when harness racing aside from the annual Hambletonian drew little atten tion. It was regarded as a "coun try" sport strictly for "hayseeds." But then the "farmers" put in the. pari-mutuel machines and last year, according to figures of the U. S. Trotting Association, more than 10 million people stormed the nation's harness tracks. Meanwhile, young Stan is doing right well and, as another season gets' under way Monday, he has two big ambitions. "I want to win the Hambleton ian and the Little Brown Jug," he explains. 1 And from the way he's been go ing, don't bet too heavily that he ; won't do it. ! THE MOST POWERFUL NAME III OUTBOAROS!
