Athletes Wearing Glasses
Becoming Common Practice

ITI Sports Writer
NEW YORK H'PII Time was
when a major league ball player
ttho wore cycfilasses was as rare
as a set of dry tonsils at a brew
er's convention but not any
more.
The old much and tumble
crowd of Hie hairy -chest and
"chaw" had as much rcfiard for
the bespectacled player as it did
for umpires. The umps were the
only ones supposed lo wear them.
Nobody will ever know how
many potentially great players
were lost in the process.
Kids with specs stuck them in
their pocket to keep from Rcttin"
picked last or ignored completely
when it came time to choose up
sides. Thus they wound up play
ing an nut-of-focus game to sat
isfy prejudice.
Those Pays Gone
But those days are Rone for
ever, according to August Nelson
of the Better Vision Institute,
and the facts bear him out.
Ac ceptance of players w ho wear
glasses has been gradual through
the years. Part of this is due to
the fact that a better educated
generation has taken over. But so
intense, too. is scouting for younc
players with talent that they'll
sicn a guy who needs plate glass
windows if he can find the plate
or hit the ball.
Rvne Duren actually found his
faulty vision an asset when he
was the big relief man for the;
New York Yankees. Duren wasl
one of the plate glass breed and
he had to look hard to see the
hatter. Thus, when he cut loose
his fast one in their general di
rection, nobody was taking a toe
hold against him just in ease the
pilch was errant.
"Specs" Toporcer earned his
nickname because he wore
glasses in becoming a second
haseman for the Cardinals. Eye.
glasses kept him on the scene
for years despite deteriorating
vision before he finally lost his
sight.
Couldn't See Ball
Phil Linz, the infield handyman
of the Yankees, first was fitted
for glasses during his rookie year
at Kearney. Neb.
"Bandy Gumpcrt. the manager,
was hitting ground balls at me
and I wasn't seeing them very
well." he explained. "Then in
night games I had trouble seeing
pitches."
An eye man found a slight
vision defect. Once fitted with
glasses. Linz was on his way up!
to the big club.
Back in IlltiO, Frank Howard ol
the Dodgers was hitting over .400
when he was ordered by the front
office to take an eye examina
tion. The reason was that he was
staggering around in the outfield
under fly halls. His difficulty was
myopia. He could see objects
close by but not at a distance.
Another outfielder with the
same problem was I.eon Wagner
of the lx)s Angeles Angels. He
had the same defensive trouble
while maintaining a lusty batting
average.
Didn't Think Twice
A pitcher such as Ken Mac
Kenzie of the Mets wouldn't think
twice about having a sore arm
treated. And lie didn't think
twice, cither, when he found he
needed glasses 15 years ago.
"I wore glasses playing hockey:
as well as baseball at Yale," he
says. "People ask me if I'm not
afraid of being hit by a batted
hall. The answer is that classes!
give me normal vision and help
me avoid such accidents.

Scramble And Gamble,
Rigney Orders Angels
LOS ANGELES lUPD - If
there was any doubts in their
minds, the Los Angeles Angels to
day concluded that Manager Bill
Rigney was right when he said
the club's chance of success was
to scramble for runs andj victor
ies. Rigney. who rarely cails club
house meetings, assembled his
Angels Wednesday night prior to
their game with the Detroit Tigers!
and pointed out the team owed its
success to hustle.
'I told them thai it was only
through scrambling that they were
able to finish third last year and
if they would hustle and scramble
they would win their share this
year," Rigney said.
The Angels apparently took the
words of wisdom to heart because
they went out and defeated the
Detroit Tigers, 4-2, coming up
with three key runs in the sixth
inning to clinch the victory.
Scramble and Gamble
Our forte last year was to
scramble and gamble, not lo play
routine baseball, Kigney told his
players.
After listening to the manager.
the Angels kept pounding away at
rookie Detroit pitcher Bill Paul
until they finally drove him from
the mound in the sixth.
It still took a big blow to push
over the runs necessary to pro
vide the win and that came from
the bat of Charley Dees, the first
baseman brought up only last Sun
day from Hawaii. Dees doubled
with the bases loaded to drive in
three runs in the sixth.
The double was his second hit
and second two-bagger since he
joined the Angels and it gave the
club its margin of victory.
But before Decs sent the ball
past Rocky Colavito in left field,
Albie Pearson homered to tie the
core, 1-1, in the fifth. The
homer was Pearson's third of the
season and he walked in the sixtb
to load the bases before Dees
came through with the clincher.
Chance Wins
The pitching victory went to
Dean Chance who had been rele
gated to the bullpen May 12 after
a slow start. Chance tired by the
eighth inning but dependable Ju
lio Navarro took over lu preserve
the 'win for him and the lanky
Ohio hurler squared his record at
4-4 with the win.
"I thought Chance threw the
hall real well." Kigney said. "And
that Dees adds a little something
to the club both in hitting and dar
ing base running."
Faul. first year Detroit hurler,
was the victim of the Angels'
"scramble" attack. The young
ster kept Los Angeles scoreless
for four innings until Pearson's
homer. But he weakened in the
sixth when he loaded the bases
on a pair of singles and a walk
and then gave up the double tdJ
Decs tli.it put the game away.
The Angels and Tigers closed
their scries today with an after
noon game which matched ex
Yankee Bob Turley, 1-3. against
Hank Aguirre, 3-4.
