less formidable at first base,
where Sievers has experience.
First-base candidates include
Dick Gernert. who batted .237
last season, and Pete Runnels,
a .230 hitter with Washington.
Hit 1926 in Fenway
Sievers batted .345 against
Boston last season. Roy was a
1926 hitter in chummy Fenway
Park, paradise for a right
handed hitter with its short
leftfleld fence. Strangely, Slew
ers didn't hit a homer there. He
had 10 singles and a double, but
he ratified the fence frequently
There's doubt that the Red
Sox can make it interesting for
the Senators in bidding for
Sievers. Their talent is spread
thinly. Apparently only the
Yankees are in a position to
give the Senators an offer with
out weakening themselves,
They have expressed interest
in Sievers, but only mildly.
Grifiith admitted, too, that
there could be further action
between the Senators and In
dams. He and Frank Lane,
general manager of the Indians,
talked for 3 hours Monday
night when Lane visited his
daughter at nearby Rollins
College. And the Boiling Mesa
trade didn't consume all their
time.
Narleski Available
There's a scant possibility
that the swift-moving Lane
may cook up a proposition
which would appeal to Griffith.
He repeatedly has offered
Pitcher Ray NarleSki to the
Yankees in an attempt to land
Second Baseman Bobby Rich
ardson.
The Senators would relish
Narleski, but they'd also want
a flock Of additional help which
would include either of two out
flelders. Robert Maris or Rocky
Colavito.
Boiling signed with the Sen
ators yesterday and a few hours
later was on his way elsewhere.
The only unsigned Washington
players now are Sievers, Catcher
Lou Berberet and Pitcher Pete
Ramos. The latter is expected
to present no problem, but Ber-
beret and Sievers say they'll
stay home until their money
demands are met.
Mesa's Record
Mesa, who lives at Sunnyvale,
Calf. is a 190-pounder who
stands 6-foot-3. In his last
five seasons he has famed 100
or more batters, reaching q
peak Of POI with Wichita in
1852, when he won Is, lost 10.
Signed out of San Jose Col
lege. he started with Bakers
field in 1850. appeared in Is
games and had a SO mark. He
was 8-8 with the same club the
following year. After pitching
for Wichita he spent two years
in the Army, compiled a 1876
record with Reading in 1855
and was 1912 with San Diego
in 1856.
Mesa is due to join the club
tomorrow. Manager Cookie
Lavagetto tentatively has
slated him for relief roles.
