Indians Jinx
Returns With
Loss Of Werfz
b the Associatsd Press

The injury ink still Is dog
ging the Cleveland Indians. this
time cutting down veteran Vic
Wertz--the one solid man in
Manager Bobby Bragan's in
field.
The 33-year-old smuggling first
baseman. who belted polio for
q loop in 1865 and was voted
the APPS comeback -the-year
award in SO, fractured his right
ankle yesterday and will be
lost for at least nine weeks.
That means it might be June
before Wertz is ready for
even pinch-hit assignments.
The injury came as Wertz
slid into second base in the
third inning of a 1910 ex-
hibition defeat by the San
Francisco Giants at Tucson.
His spikes caught in the dirt.
Second to Sievers
Wertz was second only to
Washington'S Roy SieverS
among American League runs
batted-in leaders with los last
season. Vic led the club with
% homers last season and hit
80 the year before.
The Indians are expected to
put in a hurried recall of Joe
Altobelli, sent back to the
minors just last week, while
getting as many games as they
can from Mickey Vernon, the
39-year-old first baseman OBJ
tanned from the Boston Red
Sox for the waiver price last
January.
Altobelli divided last season
between Columbus of the In
ternational League and Cleve-
land. batting a mere POT in SO
games with the Indians. He
drove in only nine runs and
failed to hit a homer. Vernon
played in 102 games with the
Red Sox, batting .241.
Either way. the Indians will
be hurting in view of their al
ready unsettled infield. It
doesn't figure to be an easy
task to move back to the first
division from that sixth-place
finish Of last season which re-
suited from injuries to Herb
Score. Bob Lemon. Early Wynn.
Don MoSsi. Cal McLish and
Stan Pitula-all pitchers, and
just about all the Indians had
last season.
Cepeda Stars Again
McLish was the victim as
the Giants came from behind
with four runs in the ninth
yesterday. Rookie Orlando

Doubts on Pearson Spur
Griffs to Seek SoIIy Drake
Cookie Wants
Cubs Fielder
For Defense
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Writer

ORLANDO. Fla. Mar. 81
There's mounting concern that
the Senator's centerfield prob
lem hasn't been solved by the
acquisition OF little Able Pear
son or the recent heavy hitting
of Whitley Herzog. and so
they're seeking Solly Drake.
speedy switch hitter who
batted .290 with Portland last
season.
Drake. 27-year-old colored
centerf1elder who is the prop
erty Of the Chicago Cubs, is re-
garded as superior defensively
to any outflelder on the WASH
ington club. Manager Cookie
Lavagetto admittedly is anxious
to accelerate the speed Of his
team by ACQUIRING Drake.
The 6-foot. 170-pound Drake
wouldn't add any power to the
attack. In 65 games with the
Cubs in 1856 he batted .256.
getting nine doubles, a lone
triple and two homers and
driving in only Is runs. How
ever. he stole nine bases in IA
attempts. In 1853 games at
Portland last year he hit only
four homers and drove in only
Al runs.
Del Greco Not Available
The Senators are making
numerous inquiries regarding
centerf1elders. Lavagetto asked
about the status of Bobby Del
Greco Friday when the Sena-
tors played the Yankees in st.
Petersburg but was informed
by Manager Casey Stengel that
Del Greco will remain with the
American League champs.
Lavagetto's in sister nee on
landing another centerf1elder
doesn't mean he has tossed in
the towel on the 5-foot-6 Pear
son, but he wants a replace
ment in the event Albie doesn't
make the grade or is injured.
Herzog's light-hitting history
leaves Cookie wary of his
ability.
Pearson is a .239 hitter in
exhibitions. He has collected
only three hits in his last 81
tries. OF course. he could snap
out of it promptly and change
the picture.
Doubts About Herzog
Herzog, a .272 hitter with
Miami last season, is batting
1854 and has some extra-base
blows. However. the figure has
been compiled against fast ball
pitching, and Cookie isn't con-
WINGED that Whitley will handle
the curves that come later.
There's the realization that
with Roy Sievers in left and
Jim Lemon in right-neither
noted for ground : covering
that the Senators centerf1elder
must be able to romp over vast
geography. It's a demanding
spot and there's no guarantee
it can be filled with present
personnel.
Still the object OF the Sena-
tors affections is Gene Ste
phens, who can't crash the Red
Sox outfield. Gene has been I'M
touchable so far and the Sem
ators' prospects of getting him
weren't enhanced when he un-
loaded a home run, triple and
two singles. batting in six runs.

Cal Grifflth's search for help
has extended to both leagues.
