"Our pitching generally has

Orioles Sign Clemson Ace
As First Bonus Rookie
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. June 8.-The
Baltimore Orioles signed their
first bonus rookie today, pay
ing an undiSclosed sum to Will
liam Oliver O'Dell, a 21-year-
old left-handed pitcher who
starred for Clemson College.
While helping Clemson to an
Atlantic Coast Conference title
this spring, ODell compiled an
8-3 record and an earned run
average of 0.43.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound COL
legian is only a junior at Glenn
son. but has used up his athletic
eligibility. Scouts reports, con-
firmed by a tryout here recently,
indicate he has a good fast ball
and good control.
ODell, a native of Whitmire,
S. c., now residing in Newberry.
S. c.. flew into Baltimore early
today to sign his contract. He
is to join the Orioles in Boston
for tonight's game with the Red
Sox.

Good Win for Smith
Could Net Biq Bout

An impressive victory for
Gene Smith, Washington
featherweight. in his Turner'S
Arena fight a week from tonight
probably would qualify him for
a bout with a high-ranking 1885,
FOUNDER later this summer at
Griffith Stadium, according to
Promoter Vince Mcmahon.
Smith is matched against
Tony Longo of Baltimore in q
10-rounder that will be the first
fight in Washington in more
than a month.
Mcmahon, interested in pro-
noting at Griffith Stadium this
summer, thinks Smith could be
a good drawing card if he shows
a return to his old punching
form against Longo. Gene has
won his two 1854 starts handily,
stopping Jimmy Ithia in 10
rounds and winning in 10 over
Filberto Osario. One more good
one could re-establish him as a
prime favorite here.
Mcmahon is shooting high in
his talks of a possible future
opponent for Smith, and men,
tions Featherweight Champion
Sandy Saddler. Preliminary
contacts already have been made
with Saddler's management, and
Mcmahon says some interest was
shown, If the price is right. I"

NEW YORK, June 8.-With a

barrass Little Leaguers, the
Yankees uneasily awaited to-
nights invasion by the Tigers.
The word around the Amer
lean League is that the cham

the Indians and the White Sox.
At this time a year ago. they
