BEAT
BY BURTON HAWKINS

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 81
There have been disappoint-
ments in the Senators exhibi-

the failure of Pitcher Ralph
Lumenti to progress as en-
visioned and the dismissal of
Shortstop Zoilo Versailles as the
likely immediate solution to one
of the clubs more agonizing
weaknesses.
These were longShots at best,
but some still are clinging to

astonishing if they are Of any

Too much may have been
asked of them. Lumenti has
one Of the games great arms,
but he is short on experience.
Some day, perhaps, the dark
lefthander will sift the answers
to his problems from the
avalanche of advice heaped
upon him and emerge as a
spectacular sort of pitcher.

Job is to be handled by any
body currently with the team.
The burden on the Senator's
shortstop is increased by the
inadequacy surrounding him.
He may be forced to shade one
hitter more than he deems ad-
viSable in order to compensate
for the sluggishness of his
sidekicks. The sharp, accurate
throw to second. on the trort
end of what the shortstop hopes
will be a double play. may have
to be delayed a vital split
second to permit the less alert
second baseman to whisK into
position to take the throw.
This would be assuming, of
course, that the Senators were
equipped with a knowledgeable
savvy shortstop. Billy Console
