THE FELLOW SITTING with the ball players said, "YpH
ought to 60 5000 New York 4Fv shooting for that right field
I'VE should" Sherry answered "but we don't, The only
et-handed hitter on the Washington club who gets hot In
Yankee Stadium is Mickey Vernon They get the rest Of
pretty good Not only on our club but on all clubs"
"They pitch to US real good" Noren repeated YOU don't
get pitches YOU pull into the seats from the Yankee
STAFF haven't been the big leagues very long
to me that not even Ted williams hits many home In
New York"
Were disappointed read the Yankee deal had
Noren grinned. II like Washington" he replied Then,
facing the issue Squarey he added Ive got confession to
make After reading that story in Nashville got to thinking
how nice would be to have pitchers like Lopat Rasch and
Reynolds OF the Yankees or Fee Lemon Garcia and Wynn
Of the Indians on your SIDE"
ROBERTSON WHO WILL be q io-year.man this year,
nodded in agreement "What difference that could make In
batting average he said. Anybody would like to play
whole without having TO hit against three four
pitchers like those guys"
I'm not complaining" Noren said. "waShinstonS been
good to me- But you know how b You can't help but
wonder how you'd 90 somewhere else" Sherry nodded In
understanding.
II thought the same thing when read where Hank
oreenbeg interested In me- Robertson said "Franky
hope he s H. might GET 10 play little more with Cleveland"
Robertson has been almost the perpetual utility with the
Mats playing oil the eld and euted but never winning
O regular Job. But he spoke without ranCer.

said 70 NeFen Here you've driven your family the
country 10 washington and taken train for Florida You

NEITHER ROBERTSON nor Norsn feels he about 10 bs
