The shaky Washington CATCH
ing corps is crippled on the eve
of the exhibition opener with
the Tigers tomorrow. Thus the
ambition of 43-year-old semi
bald, white-haired Clyde Nc
Cullough to wedge his way into
the Senator'S lineup, will. of
necessity, receive consideration.
Entering tomorrow's tussle at
Lakeland, Manager Cookie La
vagetto will have only one of
his three listed catchers avail
able. That would be sturdy
Steve Korcheck, who admitted
ly has a sore arm which will
handicap him.
Hal Naragon will be out for
several days with a twisted left
ankle, the result of a collision
Wednesday with Harmon Kille-
brew. Clint Courtney attempt
ed self-treatment of a pulled
index finger on his right hand,
it became infected yesterday
and a trip to a physician was
ordered. Clint's finger now is
bandaged heavily and he'll be
inactive for awhile.
Catching a Problem
There are a couple of farm
hands, Reyes Figuero and Juan
Jiminez, who are listed as
catcherS, but they are around
mainly to provide practice
targets for a swarm Of pitchers.
There is Coach Bob Swift. a
former major league receiver,
who could be pressed into serv-
ice, but none is suitable for
Lavagetto's standpoint.
Catching is one Of Lavaget-
to's more annoying problems
and, perhaps, is more serious
than his shortstop or second
base situation. A glance around
the league, scanning catchers
who might be available in a
deal, leads Cookie to the con-
:lusion that he's unlikely to be
bolstered by that method.
One quick throw under pres
sure could shelve Korcheck
for a few days, so Cookie is
