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

field where he has done so well
it looks like he will win the left1

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.

By OSCAK FRALEY
LPI Sports Writer
HALLANDALE, Fla. (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.
But it seems likely that they won't
match strides until the Kentucky
Derby, first leg o( the Triple
Crown. No colt has swept the
triple, which includes the Prcak
ncss and Belmont, since Citation
ir 1948.. If both stay sound, it
iliould be a battle of homcric
proportions...
Count on Gibhs
The biggest "future" planning
i the camp of the New Y'ork
Yankees is for a catcher and
lake Gibbs, signed two years ago
for a $100,000 bonus as a Uni
versity of Mississippi third base
man and All-American football
player, is the man.
The reason is obvious. Yogi
Bcrra has "had it" behind the
plate. Elston Howard is 34 and
Johnny Blanchard is 30. Gibbs is
going down to Richmond again
but it's merely to assure that he
will get plenty of practice behind
(he plate.
"Jake could be ready to catch
for us by mid-seavm." asserts
Yankee manager Ralph Houk.
Although he's only been catch
ing since February, he acts like
10-ycar man behind the plate."
And they ex)ect that working
behind the mask will help boost
his hatting mark nf .284 last
a son...
They're still chuckling over the
advice his caddy gave Don Sikes
in lite final round match in the
Doral Open golf championship.
How do you think I should hit
this shot?" Sikes asked the cad
dy as they stood over his ap
proach shot on the 15th hole.
"I dunno." the caddy pondered.
"But hit it good and knock it
close ". Sikes bent double with
laughter, losing a lot of the pics
sure, and then did just what the
caddy had ordered...
