Dresser Sees Improvement
AS Senators Break Camp
Better Pitching,
Larger Squad
Convince Pilot
By BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan CORRESPONDENT


ORLANDO. Fla, April 1.-THE
Senators pull out of Florida
tonight, and although they head
north with essentially the same
team that Jared so dismally
last season. Manager Chuck
Dresser is convinced it's an i'm
proved outfit.
We'll win more than the SO
games we won last season."
Chuck said today. I'VE lost "a
of our last 81 games, but by that
time it didn't make much diff
ference and we were experiment.
ing with Harmon Killebrew at
third base to see what he could
do. He cost us some games,
naturally, that wouldn't have
been lost with Ed Yost at third,
but it was good time to give
the kid experience.
Il operated a large part of the
season with 81 players. This
season, If I have my way, we'll
go with % for the first month.
then trim down to the necessary
Is. I'll be able to maneuver.
Last year it was a case of watt
ing for the one opportunity when
a pinch-hitter might do us some
good. This year Wen have more
of them around.
Pitching Looks Better
"I'd say the most pleasant de-
velopment of training has been
the way Yost has looked. He
could be the surprise of the
league this year. There have
been other encouraging things.
Camilo Pascual and Pete Ramos
are better now than they we're
a year ago, Chuck Stobbs has
learned how to pitch and Bob
Chakales looks fine.
Bud Byerly can't be used too
often. but he knows how to pitch
and for two or three innings
here and there can be a big help.
Our pitching staff now is a big
improvement over the one we
took north last year.
Pete Runnels hasn't hit down
here, but I'm not worried about
him. He'll hit. AS far as Jim
Lemon goes. I'm not fretting
about his recent slump. He
didn't show anything last year
until after we broke camp. He's
normally a late starter and so
is Roy Sievers.
Chrisley Could Help
Lyle Luttrell and Neil Chris
ley were nothing last spring. alb
solutely nothing. If Luttrell
keeps improving as he has in
the last 10 days or so he'll help.
Chrisley is swinging a bat like
he means it and he could be
valuable. We've got the best
three-man catching staff in the
league and that gives us fiexi-
bility., 81

CONTRACT
BRIDGE
BIZ EAsLEY Lakewood

Mr.. Dale's spade suit was
strictly biddable. But he de-
cided not to respond with one
spade. The reason was that
he correctly figured his hand
was worth only one bid. 1t was
therefore his duty to make that
one bid as meaningful and use
full as possible. What could be
more interesting and helpful to
partner than an immediate
raise in a suit in which partner
had already shown interest?
Nothing. So Mr.. Dale bid two
hearts.

Partner is then denied the

Against the four-heart con-
tract Mrs. Keen led the king of

rounds of trumps and banked
everything on the clubs break

three diamonds and a club.
A player like Mr.. Abel would
have done a little better. He
might have taken just two

three rounds of clubs, hoping
the opponent who was short in
clubs also had the short trump
holding. He. too, would have
been down one.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

McKeesport, Pa: I am in
volved in a discussion regard
ing the words "trusty" and
trustee"
"Trusty" is defined as a CON
vict allowed special privileges
on account of good conduct"
My dictionary says it should be
pronounced to rhyme with
rusty"
Trustee" is defined as a
person to whom property and
the management of property is
committed for the benefit of
Others" My dictionary says it
is pronounced trus-TEE.
Several times recently I have
heard a Pittsburgh newscaster
give "trusty" the trus-TEE
pronunciation. I also heard it
pronounced trus-TEE in a TV
play. Am I behind the times or
was the word mispronounced?
Carl A. Holman.
Answer: You most asSuredly
are not behind the times. The
distinction in pronunciation
between "trusty" and trustee"
is clear and precise. What's
more. it is an important dis
tinction. Failure to observe it
can only result in confusing the
listener and completely distort-
ing the sense of the news being
broadcast. Indeed, I'm not at
all sure that the trustee" of an
estate wouldn't have grounds
for libel action if a newscaster
referred to him as a "trusty."
Somebody ought to supply
that newscaster with a good
dictionary-before it's too late!
Lamesa, Calf: Which is cor
rect and why: There is a num-
Der of people or There are a
number of people" Would the
answer be the same if things
were substituted for people?
e. G. kaufman.
Answer: Number" is a COL
lective noun and whether it
takes a singular or plural verb
depends on whether you mean
the total or the individual units
involved. Thus you would say:
There are a number of people
waiting to see you, doctor, I"
meaning the individuals in the
waiting room. But you would
also say THE number of people
is greater today than yester-
day." meaning that the total is
greater.
The same rule would hold re-
gardless of whether people or
things were included in num-
ber."

right, as follows: He won the
first trick with dummy's ace of
spades, led a spade back and
ruffed it. Next came a small
heart to dummy's nine and an
other spade, ruffed with the
ace of hearts. The jack of
hearts was overtaken by
dummy's queen and the last
spade led and ruffed with the
king of hearts.
Mr.. Masters now entered
dummy again with the queen
of clubs. On the lead Of the
ten of hearts, which picked up
the last outstanding trump. he
discarded a diamond. If the
club suit had broken 3-3 he
would have taken eleven tricks
But when 1t didn't he still had
his ten.

One hopeful aspect for these

There will be about 200 jobs
available in the new setup and
some of the 300 MATS en-

positions.

termaster General will move
some of its operations here to
Philadelphia, Chicago, Column

A total of 449 civilian employees
here are affected.
Some will accompany the
transfer to other cities, but
many others will not. They
have their families here, their
