Sunday, .March 31, liXili PAKE 3-H Cincinnati Optimistic Of 1963 Pennant Chance TAMPA, Fla. ' L'Pl i -The Cin clnnati Reds are loaded for l!Ki3 sccording to manager Freddie Hutehinson, who maintains "our chances of winning the pennant are as good as anyone's." He feels and doesn't get too much argument on the subject I that he will have the best over all pitching depth -in the league, and that the club will have more! power, speed and fielding finesse! this coming season. The Reds after winning in 1961 missed by only three and a half games last season despite the fact they lost their hard hitting third baseman. Gene Freese for most of the year with a broken right ankle. Thus far tiiis spring he has looked like the Freese of old, and the Reds also have come up with a rookie. Tommv Harper, who could make a big difference. Al though originally a third baseman with Freese back in shape, Har per has been shifted to the out field where he has done so well it looks like he will win the left1 field berth. Hutchinson, an old pitcher him self, keeps emphasizing pitching however. "You just don't win without it," he claims. "If vou have fine To Gain Crowds EDITORS NOTE: This is the sixth nf 20 dispatches on the 1963 prospects of the major league clubs. Ily SCOTT BAII.1.1E I'PI Sports Writer SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (UPD Don't go away, folks. The Bos ton Red Sox, fighting to keep at tendance from getting any worse, are rushing a new production ten tatively named, "new deals of 1963." Last season, the turnouts al Fenway Park dived to a post-war low while the Red Sox wound up in a seventh-place tie with Balti more. A total of 733,080 paid to watch the Sox' home games, or 117,509 less than the 1961 season. And as Ed Bailey, San Fran cisco Gianls' catcher, says of the national pastime, "we're all in this thing to make money." So Vice President and General Manager Mike Higgins of the Red Sox got busy this winter and brought in five new players while handing six former Bosox their transfers. The swaps centered around building up a right-handed lineup with power. Key men who were acquired are first baseman Dick Stuart and left fielder Roman Mejias. "c haven t had a person on this club in the past six or seven years who has hit more than 23i home runs, says Johnny Pesky, who took over the managerial reins from Higgins and is making his debut as a big league pilot "We had to have some right handed power." I Hopes On Stuart . Stuart, who had an unhappy 1562 at Pittsburgh where his av erage slipped to .228 while he hit 15 homers, is rated as the best bet to restore the glory days of such other Boston crashers Td Williams, Vern Stephens and Jimmy Foxx. Williams has tabbed Stuart as potential hitter of 40 home runs in Fenway Park where the fence running from left to left-center field ' is a good target for the right-handers. And Mejias checks in from Houston where, he won virtually ail the team's batting honors. He paced the Colt hitters with a .286 average and led in home runs with 24 and RBI with 76. But a lot of people had to C l I T- I In order to bring in this pair NClTlOnCIl I rOpHV along with pitcher Jack Lamabe from Pittsburgh, utility man Fe lix Mantilla from the New York Mets and Dick Williams, another good all-purpose man. from Hous ton. Trades Costly Stuart and Lamabe cost the Red Sox pitcher Don Schwall and catcher Jim PagliaronL Pete Runnels, who won his second American League batting title for Boston last vear. went to the' Colts in exchange for Mejias. Ptimpsie Green, a vital utility man. was sent to the New York Mets along with pitcher Tracy Stallard in the deal for Mantilla And Houston acquired Carroll Ilerdv while parting with Wil liams. ' It was one of the most active trading years for Boston since the days of general manager Eddie Collins. But will it pay off? "We hope for a first division finish," Pesky says. "Nobody ox pects to win a pennant, you nev er know. We certainly won't roll over and play dead." Aside from Stuart replacing Runnels at first base, the infield is the same as last season's Frank Malzonc, a top third base man, is at that bag again; Eddie Bressoud, the Red Sox most val uable player of 1962 in press box balloting, returns to shortstop and at second base is Chuck Schilling, who broke his wrist last season just as he was start ing to hit. Outfield Set Carl Yastrzcmski, who at times could be the only left-handed bat ter in the order, has been shifted from left field to center. He will be flanked by Mejias in left and Lu Clinton in right. Clinton bat ted .294 last season, hitting at a 326 pace after breaking in rcgu-j larly on June 29. The established starting right banders among the pitchers are Gene Conley (5-141, Bill Monbou quette (15-131, and Earl Wilson (12-81. Conley had his best sea son in baseball last year but is a question mark as he will be checking in late from the New- York Knickerbockers and has twisted his ankle in pro basket ball. The relief pitching features right hander Dick Radatz. whose 9-6 mark and 16 saves made him the American League's top fire man last season. Arnie Earlcv' ' 4-5 is Pesky's left-handed re liever. Another right-hander in the bullpen is .Mike Fornieles i3-6i who is seeking a comeback from his poorest season. There is a problem in the catcliing department. Russ Nixon a solid veteran, is hurt a lot. Bob Tillman, a .229 batter last year has troubles of his own hitting a curve. Pesky thinks that Archie Skeen. whom he managed at Se attle last year, might take over one of the catching posts. The Red Sox are thinking in terms of a fourth-place finish but may have to settle for less. pitching you don't need too much power. But we also have the pow er to go along with that pitch inc." His pitching starts off with three outstanding starters in right handers Bob Purkey 123-5' and Joey Jay (21-141 and southpaw Jim O'Toole (16-131. Behind them are two of the better relief hurl- ers in the league, right hander Jim Brosnan (4-41 and left hander Billy Henry (4-2. Between them they had 24 saves last season Right now, Jim Maloney 9-7, veteran Joe Nuxhall (5-0 and Jim Owens (2-4) with the Phillies arc starting berths. Owens seems to have taken on a new outlook since joining the Reds and Hutchinson predicts "he is going to help us a lot." Then (here are John Tsitouris and Al Worthington, who won an other major league trial by win ning 13 and 15 games, respec tively, (or San Diego and Indianap olis last season. That still leaves Dick Sislcr (4-3), Sammy Ellis (2-21 with the Reds and 12-6 at San Diego, John ny Klippstein (7-6) and Ken Hunt who may be over the wildness which hampered his last sea son. in the picture. On potential it doesn't look like pitching will be any problem. Outfield fixtures are two of the best, Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson. Robinson hit .342 last sea son with 39 homers and 136 runs batted in, Pinson .292 with 23 HRs and an even 100 RBIs. If Harper, speed demon who hit .333 at San Diego last season with 26 homers and 84 RBIs, should win the other outfield post it would leave veterans Jerry Lynch, Wal ly Post, who has been hitting es pecially well this spring, and Marty Keough for reserve duty. As for the infield it will be Gordy Coleman at first, Don Blas ingame or Eddie Kasko at second. Leo Cardenas at short and Freese at third. Coleman dropped off to .277 batting average last sea son but still hit 28 home runs and knocked in 86. Blasingame batted 281, Kasko .278. Harry Bright, who hit 16 hom ers and batted in 67 runs lor Washington last season, will be kept back up Coleman at first. Bright also can catch if necessary. But it doesn't look like the Reds will need him behind thei plate for in Johnny Edwards they have one 'of the most promising receivers in the league. "He improved tremendously last year both defensively and of fensively, Hutchinson said. "He can't miss becoming a star and I think he will hit better." If the Reds are hurting in any department, it isn't apparent. It may not pay to sell Hutchinson's prediction short. HIT OR BE HIT vl &r?$r& SSfi& pitcher iy of the nation's outstanding col- D. O.

(UPI) -Fearless Fraley's facts and fig ures: Just how California's Candy Spots may fare against Never Bend in the three year old clas sics ahead probably will be indi cated by how he handles his ri vals in the $100,000-added Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park today. Since arriving in Florida after winning the Santa Anita Derby, Candy Spots is being hailed by some as a "wonder horse" even though he has worked only twice at Gulfstream. Never Bend mean while has shipped north. Candy Spots beat Never Bend in the Arlington Futurity when they hooked up as two year olds.
