Yost says: "Some of the peo-

terrific ball player"
Ed says he isn't worried about
the situation. "All ! can do is
the best I can do and we'll see
what happens. I'm willing to
play anywhere they want me to
play. Killebrew is a nice fel-
low and tremendously improved
as a third baseman. I didn't
think he could improve as much
as he has.
II don't know if Harmon is
ready yet" Yost continued. Il
guess that's what everybody has
to find out down here. but with
all that power I think he has a
fine future. If he beats me out
this year. well. that's part OF
the game"
