the payoff might equal the
record low of $2.20 for 50 for
a Maryland stakes race. This
mark was set when Citation

lilo choice.

slated to go to the post in the
1-mile race, the Laurel man.

BOSTON, April 30.-The ap-
prehension Manager Cookie
Lavagetto normally might feel
when beckoning to the Sena-
tors bench is absent in the
case of his summons to Reno
Bertoia to fill in at third base
for Harmon Killebrew, out with
a pulled muscle in his right leg.
There always is anticipation
that the strong Killebrew will
break out in a rash of homers.
He's a constant threat, as tes-
titled by his AZ home runs last
season. but to replace him
Cookie has in Bertoia a fellow
who is recognized as one of
baSeball's hot spring hitters.
And the injury to Killebrew
suffered Tuesday while try
ing to field a bunt - thrusts
Bertoia into the lineup at a
time when everything favors
Reno. He was a mere .237 hit
ter last season but at Fenway
Park, where the Senators play
a single game today and a
double-header tomorrow, Ber-
toia batted 1924.
For about six weeks in 1857
Bertoia was the leagues lead
ing hitter, but pitchers de-
tected a weakness for chasing
high, outside pitches and rid
died his average. Last year,
his first with the Senators,
Reno was a .357 hitter after 19
games, then encountered diff
'culties.
Cookie is dreaming of a car
bon copy Of Bertoia's start last
season. In his first nine games
he cracked three home runs,
four doubles and batted AIT.
At the moment Reno is a $50
hitter after only eight appear
ances at the plate, but here
the right-handed hitter has
BoSton's convenient leftfield
fence as a target and hopes to
dent it occasionally in the
process Of boosting his average
Respected as Fielder
Reno's tendency to do most
Of his hitting in the spring
isn't the only reason Cookie
can afford to be comparatively
complacent about employing
him. Bertoia is a respected
third baseman who hasn't beer
able to adjust when used at
shortstop or second base.
Third base is Bertoia &
natural position" Lavagettc
said. Hes good there. Ir
fact, he probably saved a game

for us in New York the other
day when he fielded a tough
chance of Hector Lopez's bat
and threw him out. If he
doesn't make that play we're in
trouble and the score is at least
tied by those two singles that
came later.
Jim Lemons homer and
Jim Kaat's pitching were more
spectacular, of course, but that
defensive play by Bertoia was
appreciated, too. He isn't going
to hurt us in the field and he
could give us a lift with his
bat"
Killebrew, while improving
doesn't figure to play against
the Red Sox. He made the
trip here but Trainer George
Lentz would prefer to keep him
idle until early next week. IF
he gets back into the lineup
too soon and reinjures him
self" Lentz said, hes likely to
be out for three weeks or So"
It's ironic that Killebrew was
forced to leave the Senators
lineup only a few moments
after smashing 2-run homer,
his second of the year, against
Baltimore's Hoyt Wilhelm. That
blow tied the score at SIS in a
game ultimately lost by the
Senators, lilo.
Pascual Tries Again
Lavagetto is looking for Ca
milo Pascual to show a return
to form today. The Cuban right
handler famed IS Red Sox lr
his debut but since has beer
buffeted in a starting role ano
in two relief appearances.
Since his brilliant opening
game effort Pascual has pitched
seven innings and has been
clobbered for nine runs on a
production of IL hits, including
three home runs.
Cookie could afford to risk
Pascual in relief roles due to
the Senators of days Thursday
and yesterday, but Camilo now
will return to regular rotation
The Senators will be confronted
with IA games in as many days
when they return to Griffith
Stadium Monday night to oper
a three-game series against the
Cleveland Indians.
Pedro Ramos and Bill Fischer
are Lavagetto's choices to op.
pose the Red Sox tomorrow, but
Fischer is doubtful because o.
a lingering leg injury. Kaat
who achieved his first major
league victory against thu
Yankees Wednesday, will try
for No. 2 Monday night.

Johnny Podres's whammy on

still working strong.
The Giants haven't beaten
the Los Angeles Dodgers sturdy
southpaw since September 4,
1958-and he's allowed them
only five earned runs in 1928

Podres made it five straight over

Dodgers made eight unearred
runs in the fifth inning for a
1912 frolic.
That slipped the second-place

Willie McCovey's triple and
Felipe Alou's single counted
both runs in the fourth for the

year. He finished with an eight

out seven.
Three Straight Errors
Podres's whammy then got
down to business in the fifth.

Maury Wills and a bunt hit
