Manager Chuck Dresser will
confer with his bosses today to
determine whether the Senators
will make a bid for Eddie Joost,
ouSted as manager and part
time shortstop of the Athletics
yesterday as the aftermath Of
the franchise being shifted from
Philadelphia to Kansas City.
IT don't know whether Wen
be interested In acquiring him. I"
said Calvin Griffith, vice preSi-
dent. "Joost might be able to
make a comeback. but he's 38
and he didn't show too much last
season when he was playing. I
want to get Chuck's ideas about
it. though"
Young Griffith conferred yes
terday with Clarence Miles.
president of the Baltimore ORR
oles. concerning television prob
lens of both clubs. The Situa-
tion will remain much the same
as last season. when the Sena-
tors televised 80 games into
Baltimore while the Orioles were

wise into the other city in con-

Lopez Calls Yonks'
Pitching Fortified,
OutfieId Weakened
By the Associated Pres.

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 18.-M
Lopez. manager of the Cleveland
Indians, comedies the acquisition
of Bob Turley and Don Larsen
by the New York Yankees is sure
to strengthen their pitching.
But he believes the New York
ers weakened their outfleld seri-
ously by trading of Gene Wood
ling in the deal with the Balti-
more Orioles.
THAT Woodling is wonderful
ball player" he said in a tele-
phone interview last night.
That's going to hurt them a
lot. even though they had some
extra outfield strength last year."
Lopez didn't think the loss of
Pitcher Harry Byrd would bother
the Yanks. "He was a disap-
pointment to them, and never
did much-at least against us"
Lopez said.
The Tribe pilot evaluated Tur-
ley and Larsen like this:
'"Turley has the makings Of
great pitcher. He was good
with Baltimore and ought to be
more effective now with more
confidence. Larsen was sort Of
an in-and-outer last year, but
he probably will have a better
record with the Yankees"

Yonks-OrioIes Deal
May Stir Senators,
Frank Lane Says
--AP Wirephoto.
By he A.soeioted Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.- Frank
Lane, general manager of the
White Sox and an avowed yam
kee hater,' today surprisingly
lauded the kee-Oriole deal as
"well planned on both sides, a
deal that is going to pep up the
American League"
Naturally, / don't like to see a
pitcher Of Bob Turley's caliber go
to the Yankees" Lane said, "but
our former manager. Paul Rich
ards, worked the kind of deal !
would have worked"
Richards needed quantity to
rebuild the Orioles and had to
give up quality to get it. The
players going to Baltimore from
the Yankee farm system could
weigh considerably in Baltimore's
favor over the long haul.
This should make the Wash
ington Senator'S stir themselves,
with the Orioles popping up with
fresh blood and playing only 81
miles away"
Lane denied a report that the
White Sox may figure in on the
Yankee -Oriole deal. Richards is
said to covet such of his former
charges as Shortstop Chico Car
resquel, Pitcher Billy Pierce and
Outfielders Jim Rivera and Will
lard Marshall.
Richards is due to visit me
tomorrow. but he has broken five
previous dates we had, SO I'm not
counting on it," said Lane. Il
will say, though. that none of the
players Richards got from the
Yankees will wind up in Chicago"

shot the second best score in
another department.
Dorothy Nickels. high average
bowler in the all-star league, led
the way with a 435 set which
surpassed by 10 pins the previous
best rolled a week ago by Mialie
Stadtler of Mann's Decorators.
Her team totaled 1,762 to
shatter the previous record OF
1873 shot by the H. B. Learys.
In fiourishing windup. the
Easy Methods rolled GIG, second
in the league to the 642 Of the
William C. Voight team.
Despite such a potential. the
Easy Methods have won only 10
games against 18 lost.
Mrs. Nickels' 435 boosted her
average to l20 and greatly en-
couraged her in drive for the
Washington area No. / rank
ing, now held by Olive Petit,
who earned the spot with an
average of 116-plus. In the same
ratings Mrs. Nickels landed
sixth with 114-plus.
Mrs. Nickels' best game last
night was Isl, enough to earn
a bronze medal. The 100 aver
age gave her a commanding
lead in the race for the most
coveted women's title in Dis
trict area duckpins. Clara Walz
of the Voights, who rolled 327
last night, is second with 1855;
Bing Moen of Goetz Co. next

raine Gulli of King Pin. fourth
with HALT after a 1856 and
Millie Stadtler of Mann's, fifth
with 1919 after an even 800.
Each has rolled SO games.
Among last nights best per-
formers was Irene Malitz of the
Manns who rolled 369, includ-
ing a bronze medal 152 game.
Only the Easy Methods

Turley was at once sad, pleased
and surprised at the news.

4It-really gives you a shock to

Gus Zernial, slugging outflelder,
broke his collarbone. Catcher
Billy Shantz. Bobby's younger
brother, suffered a fractured
finger.
Boudreau said that among the
younger players on the Athletics
roster, he felt Third Baseman
Jim Finigan and Pitcher Arnold
Portocarrero were top prospects.
Wants Shantz Examined.
y He said he'd like to have
Bobby Shantz and Kellner come
to Kansas City early for exami-
nations.
"They told me Shantz was
throwing fairly well at the end
of last season." Boudreau COM
mented.
In Boston, Beudreau's salary
was $4,000 last season. The
Red Sox ousted him while he
still had another year to go on
his contract. It was understood
he will get approximately the
same salary here. although the
AS new owner, Arnold Johnson,
Chicago businessman, did not
disclose the figure.

named manager, Johnson merely
said, Lou has always been a
top salaried manager and you
can be sure he's happy with
this one"
Eddie Joost, who managed the
Athletics last season, was given
his unconditional release so he
could negotiate deal for him
self.

Boudreau ThinksShifl
Will Help As, Sees
Big Rebuilding Job
By the Assoeioted Press

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 18.-Lou
Boudreau, new manager of the
Kansas City Athletics, sees a big
rebuilding job ahead. but he's
hopeful the change of scenery
will stimulate the club.
Boudreau, who signed a two
year contract yesterday, said he
believes the Athletics will do
much better here than in Phil
adelphia, where they wound up
in the American League cellar
last season.
II think the enthusiasm of the
Kansas City fans will bring a
change in the clubs attitude" ;"
Boudreau said. II believe there
will be more effort put out and
that the club will show general
improvement. I'm not compar-
ing this situation with MilWau-
kee, though. You have to re-
member that they had a sound
ball club when the move was
made from Boston"
Says Players Can Do Better.
The Milwaukee Braves climbed
from seventh place in the Ma
tional League to second in their
first season at Milwaukee.
Boudreau, who formerly man
aged the Boston Red Sox and
Cleveland Indians, had this to
say about the players inherited
from Philadelphia:
1T feel that some of the play
ers are capable of doing better
than they did last season. I'm
leaving that up to the players.
They'll have to show me they
want to stay with the club"
Injuries were costly to Phila-
delphia last season. Pitcher
Bobby Shantz. a 24-game winner
in 1862, had an ailing shoulder.
