Lemon Ready to Join Fold
Surgery on Knee
Gives Big Jim
Bright Outlook
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer


ORLANDO. Fla. Mar. a..
Outfielder Able Pearson came
to terms with the Senators to-
day for an estimated $ll,00o--
a raise Of $4,000 over his rookie
salary in l958-and President
Cal Griffith expected to sign
Outfielder Jim Lemon momen-
tarily.
Lemons signing would cut
the Senators list Of holdouts
to four, with only Roy Sievers
causing any worry. Roy, SEEK
ing a boost from $4,000 to
$40, 900. is still in st. Louis, and
Griffith planned a telephone
conference with him today.
A slight raise is due for
Lemon. He and Griffith were
kidding one another amiably
yesterday after narrowing their
differences to an insignificant
amount, but the signing was
delayed.
The other holdouts are

Surgery Cheers Lemon
Lemon is one of the players
in camp who has reason to ex.
pect a much better year.
Jim's knee was sliced in late
December and several growths
were removed. He'll be forced
to pace himself slowly in spring
training and doesn't figure to
see much action in the Sena-
tors early games until his
weakened legs are in shape.
When he gets going, though.

Lemon cracked 26 homers
last season, but ne hit none in
the last SO games. The un.
complaining Virginian was in
constant pain with his balky
knee, which denied him full
leverage. Jim makes no claim
OF being a stylish outfielder.
but he looked worse than he
should have because he couldn't
bend his knee enough to han
ole ground balls properly.
A four-inch scar doesn't
beautify his left knee. but the
pain has vanished from that
area, and Jim is regarding the
1859 season with optimism.
Needs Some Adjustments
Jim has averaged % homers
for the last three seasons.

and doesn't feel 40 homers
would be in the realm Of
dreaming.
Il have the power" Jim said,
but I'll have to make some
adjustments. I'll have to real
ize that l can't swing at some
pitches, even though they are
strikes. I'm going to be a little
more choosey.
Too many times last year

strikes thrown to my weakness.
They can't pinpoint all those
pitches. and III be better of
waiting for them to make a
mistake, rather than swing at
something I'm likely to pop

Rates Leftfield Easier
Whether he's installed in his
customary rightfield job or
shifted to left doesn't disturb
Lemon.
Il played leftf1eld steadily at

Jim said. Il think leftfield is
easier to play because the
throws are shorter"
Where Jim will play depends
on Dan Dobbek, rookie out
