taking a very dose look at a
rookie infielder Marshall Ham-

four games of the 1961 season,
Crandall developed a sore arm.
He didn’t catch another game
all year. But now, he says;
“I’ve been throwing bard for
over a week now and the arm
feels fine. I don’t expect it tp

Boston Appears
Ready to Move
Up to Fourth
By CHARLES MOREY
The Boston Red Sox may be
ready to move up another
notch or two in the American
League ladder, but they’re still
a long way from the Toof.
The Bo-9ox finished sixth
last year, some 88 games back j
of the fifth-place Cleveland In-1
dians and ten games to the rear
of the f o u r t h-place Chicago
White Sox.
Most of the key performers
on the Red Sox are either quito
young, with many long years
ahead of them, or in the young
veteran class.
Manager Mike Higgins wants
more than anything else to beef
up his pitching. He bad 22
pitchers report to the Boston
camp in Scottsdale, Ark.
His two key men, both with
a great potential, are Don
Schwall, last season’s rookie of
the year, and Biil Monbouqu-
ette, who knows his way around
the league although he is only
25. Schwall posted 15 victories
Ust year and MouUouquette
picked up 14.
Ike DeLock, a hard-working
veteran, Mike Fornieles, Tracy
Stallard, Chet Nichols and Gene
Conley are pitchers who are
likely to be kept. Copley, a
basketball player, hurt his hand
during the season but luckily
it was not his pitching hand.
Gene throw’s right-handed and
it was his left that was tlam-
aged.
If nothing else, the Red Sox
will win “tail men” honors in
the league. Conley is 6-8.
Schwall is 6-6 and Stallard and
rookie pitcher Dick Radatz are
both 6-5.
Jim Pagliaroni is the first-
string catcher and will be back-
ed up by Russ Nixon and rookie
John Tillman.
The Red Sox have a nice
looking infield and it could be
a first class one If Eddie Bres-
soud has a big season at short-
stop. Boston got Eddie from
Houston which purchased lum
from San Franeieso. Brossoud
, spent quite a few seasons with
i the Giants and several times
it appeared he might take
charge at shortstop. But he
never did. Eddie had a person-
al tragedy in his family life
during his' years in San Fran-
cisco and the change of scene-
ry might help.
Chuck Schilling is the “key-
stone cop” and plays the pivot
post like an FBI man. He
doesn’t miss much.
Pete Runnels, good enough
to win the American League
batting.title in 1960, is set for
first base. His understudy Is
rookie Don Gile, a tall slugger
up from Seattle.
Frank Malzone is steady and
skillful at third base. An injury
dropped him from his usual
close to .300 average last year
to .266. But he’ll be back.
The Red Sox lost their rank-
ing slugger in the outfield,
Jackie Jensen, who retired.
Right now it appears the
opening day outfield will
have Gary Gieger in center
field, Carl Yastrzemski in left
and either rookie Lu Clinton or
the fleet Carroll Hardy in right.
Geiges fell off to an aver-
age of .232 last year from .302
the year before, but a serious
illness must have had some-
thing to do with it. Look for
him to come at least part of
the way back.
Yastrzemski was last year's
touted rookie who batted .266
but gave promise of better
things to come.
Hardy can run like crazy but
hit only ,263 in 1961 and is
not a long ball swinger. Clin-
ton hit .296 for Seattle last sea-
son and had 21 home runs and
102 runs batted in.
It’s difficult — make that
impossible —- to make a case
for the Red Sox as a pennant [
threat But they could make it
to fifth place or even all the
way to fourth with the wind at
their backs.

Pitcher Pierce
Takes Shelling
Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 22 <Jfl—
Veteran pitcher Billy Pierce is
proving a disappointment to
the San Francisco Giants. He
has been ineffective in spring
games. Yesterday, he absorbed
a 15-run shelling in three in-
nings from the Los Angeles
Angels. Despite this perform-
ance, pitching coach Larry Jan-
sen says of Pierce:
“I’ve watched him and be
Steve BeHoise once fought a
Frenchman named Jean Stock
in Paris. Stock was such an
easy target that Belloise’js man-
ager, Eddie Walker, whispered

“Steve, don’t miss this guy
or you’ll insult him.”
