Robinson, Bilko Slug
Steve Bilko and Frank Robin

yesterday. The ponderous Bike

Temple singled and drove one
out of sight.
Robinson crashed a home run

Senators Take Lead
Washington stirred up three
runs off Marty Kutyna in the
fourth. Jerry Snyder looped a
double to right, moved to third
when Stobbs grounded out and
scored on Yost's single to center.
Yost went all the way to
third when Kutyna threw wild
past first base trying to pick
him of. Malkmus walked and
Neil Chrisley doubled to center,
scoring Yost. Malkmus came
across on Zauchin's long fly to
right.
All this staked the Senators
to a 5-4 lead, but Robinson's
second homer took care of that.
The Reds got to HeiSe for two

A NC LIE
BY LEWIS F. ATcKIsoN

Everybody remembers, or is
reminded Of, famous sports
events Of st. Patrick's Days
gone by. but some fairly inter-
esting things happened the day
after that have long since been
forgotten. Pick your sport and
there's a milestone or at least
a footnote to its history tucked
away somewhere.
In 1898, for example, the Sem
ators on March Is announced
the deal that sent First Base
man Joe Kuhel, a ballet master
on the bag, to the White Sox
for zeke Bonura. Kuhel, never
a terror at bat, had slumped TO
.283 in 1887 while Zeke had
clobbered the ball for healthy
.345. The late Clark Griffith
thought the clumsy but colorful
Bonura would supply the right
hand hitting power lacking
since the passing of Joe Cronin,
Luke Sewell and Fred Schultz,
and Kuhel said he thought a
change of scenery would help
him.
Zeke found Washington's
leftfield bleachers a mite too
distant and his average dropped
SIS points to .289. Kuhel slipped
to .267 in 1888. But at the time
the story made news and stirred.
some excitement among the
faithful.
&*&
On March Is, 1899, everybody
was talking about the pitching
Of one Roberto Ortiz. the Cuban
labeled "faster than Walter
johnson" in training camp.
Senior Roberto had indeed
handcuffed the Tigers that
very day with three hits as the
Senators took a 4-3 decision.
But something happened to
Ortiz and he didn't get to
Washington until 1941. as an
outflelder, and not a very good
one.
The following year the old
Heurich Brewers basketball
team Of Washington made
news on March 10, beating
Waterloo, Ohio. Wonders. 35-
81, in the first round Of the
national professional basket
ball tournament at Chicago.

and Ed Yost will get the post,
Killebrew's hasty collapse is one
of the chief disappointments
There was hope he'd be ade-
quate afield following intensive
schooling. but thus far he has
given no encouragement that
he'll find a home at that spot.
OUTFIELD: Set in left with
Roy Sievers. Able Pearson has
no challenger for center, but
he hasn't demonstrated he'll be
a superman there. Charges ball
well, gets accurate throws away
quickly, but ground covering
ability is suspect. Strictly a pull
hitter. If he gets off well at
the plate he could be a drawing
card. Everybody wants to see
him in Florida games. Good
base runner, teams best slider,
voluble. colorful. Rightfield is
wide open and Killebrew may
be tested there. Faye Throne
berry has blown his big chance,
but Neil Chrisley is making a
strong bid. Jim Lemon. weak
defensively, may wind up with
the job again.
CATCHING: Clint Courtney
is seeking emphatically, Lou
Berberet figures to be traded,
Ed FITZGERALD a good man to
have around, but keep an eye
on Steve Korchek. The former
George Washington University
athlete is a wonderful receiver.
Brainy, a leader. strong arm.
runs well. May have trouble
with a bat in his hands, but a
real conner as a catcher.
PITCHING: Ralph Lumenti
represents the big chance for
improvement in this depart
ment. The young lefthander
could be the best Of the group.
Camilo Pascual was sore
armed last year and his con-
dition is questionable, but If
fit he could be a standout.
Pedro Ramos could win is.
Russ Kemmerer, Chuck Stobbs.
Ted Alternately and Bob Weis-
ler-who knows? If any de-
livers in a big way it will be a
surprise. Relief corps not bad
with Bud Byerly. Truman
Clevenger, Dick Hyde and Hal
Griggs available.
OVERALL PICTURE: Cen
orally slow team. no good hit
and-run man noticeable to

field merely adequate at best.

Jack Littrell, who has played
with II different baseball clubs
in 10 years, may be the latest
to make the big switch from an
inflelder to a pitcher.
Littrell, no man to be feared
by opposing pitchers, as his
100 batting average in 81 games
with the Cubs last year will
attest. won his second exhibit
ton victory yesterday when the
Chicago Cubs defeated the Bal
timore Orioles, 5-3.
The 29-year-old native of
Louisville pitched two innings
and was credited with the VIC
tory when Walt Moryn raped
a three-run homer with two out
in the seventh inning. The
game was limited to seven in
nings by agreement. since the
Cleveland Indians defeated the
San Francisco Giants. 9-6, in
the opener of the double-header
at Scottsdale, Ariz.
Littrell allowed two hits and
one run but issued no walks.
This was his second victory
over Baltimore. On March 8 he
worked two scoreless innings
and the Cubs won, 6-5. in l6
innings.
The 185-pound highlander
played four games with the
Philadelphia Athletics in 1852,
then went to Ottawa in the In
ternational League. He went
back to Philadelphia and then
moved with the AS to Kansas
City in 1855. Littrell played
shortStop with Portland of the
Coast League in 1857 and part
of last season.
If the changeover is success
full, it would be the second for
a Cub player in recent years.
Hal Jeffcoat, an outflelder,
made the transition in 1854. He
was traded to Cincinnati after
the 1855 season and he had an
