A week after this spotted him on my

The thing that got me was that my grand

reverberate on me. I'd been down before

Billy Goodman to Sub fof Dropo
AS Injury Cuts Red Sox Power
BY the Associated Press

SARASOTA, Fla. April 3.-The
power rating of the Red Sox
dropped a few notches today when
Walt Dropo. slugging first base
man. left for Boston to have his
fractured right wrist treated.
First medical reports were that
Dropo would be out from four to
six weeks. But big Walt. 1850
rookie Of the year, insisted he'd be
back in action in three weeks.
Regardless of when he returns,
Manager Steve O,Neill made It
clear that Billy Goodman will play
first base in the meantime. That
settled reports that Lou Boudreau.
|erstwhile Cleveland manager and
shortstop, would play first.
Dropo, who had just returned to
the lineup after recovering from a
pulled muscle. was struck by a
pitch delivered by Ray Herbert
Sunday as the Red Sox whipped
Detroit, 81.
Wasn't Aware of Break.
Dropo didn't realize his ulna
bone had been cracked and con-
Itinued playing. The hairline frac-
ture was disclosed by X-rays
yesterday.
Injuries have affected Dropo's
career on more than one occasion.
He broke his leg two years ago
while playing with Sacramento
and last year he was beaned twice
and out of action a few days.
But it was an injury to Good
man, a cracked ankle bone, which
gave Walt his chance with Boston
last spring. He was recalled in a
hurry from Louisville and imme-
Idiately began to powder American
League pitching far and often. He
trapped the ball so hard and SC
frequently that Goodman never
fIgot back to first, except wher
Walt was out a few days.

LEESBURG, Fla, April 3.-The

surprising Cincinnati Reds, an ex-
hibition arrangement which will
carry the two clubs through Flor
ida, the Carolinas and Virginia.
Their minor league games out
|of the way, except for an exhibi-
ton at Baltimore April 13. Bucky
Harris and the Mats were looking
forward to the battles with the
Reds, who are singularly blessed
with good pitching.
Gene Bearden and Mickey Har-
riS were due to try their luck
against the National Leaguers this
Afternoon. Cincinnati has crack
group Of pitchers, headed by Ewell
Blackwell and Ken Raffensberger,
and the Reds also have a top slug
ger in Ted Kluszewski, the big
first baseman who hit Is home
runs last year.
Michaels and Dente Hit.
Its hard to get the boys
steamed up about meeting minor
|leaguers," Harris said today. From
here on IN, they should be looking
at good pitching every day and,
consequently, we should be better
prepared for the start of the sea-
son than In recent years
Harris also is happy over the
sudden st1rges of Cass Michaels
and Sam Dente, who temporarily
have shaken the threat to their
jobs posed by ambitious Gene
Verble. In his last II times at
bat, Michaels has obtained six hits,
while Dente has batted 1853 in his
last II attempts after a long hit
less streak.
The Mats manager also had
praise for young Bob Ross. Bucky
isn't quite ready to make Ross
a starting pitcher, but he admits
that a continuation of his recent
efforts could force such a promo
ton. Ross has turned in four
mighty impressive pitching ef-
forts.
"All he needs is control" said
Bucky. following Bob's five-inning
performance against Chattanooga
yesterday as he held the Lookouts
to scratch single en- route to
WaShington's 5-3 victory at Win
ter Garden.
In his last two starts, both
against Chattanooga. Ross has
pitched the equivalent of a full
game. and in those nine innings
the Lookouts have accumulated
three hits and no runs. In l5h
innings, the other two efforts be-
ing against the Athletics, Ross
has permitted two runs and nine
hits.
