Lane, Harris
In HassIe on
White Trade
By the Associated Press

Foxy Frank Lane is at 1t
again, with his volatile temper
reacting Immediately to the
haSsle that has broken out over
the Sammy White trade-a
deal that threatens to shake
the Indian chiefs reputation
as baseball's master manipula-
tor.
Lane, a clever appraiser of
player talent, already has
a verbal scalding for the off,
season deals that deprived
Cleveland of 19-game winner
Cal McLish and .300-hitting
Minnie MinoSo.
Now Lane may find himself
checkmated in his latest at
tempt to trade Cleveland into
a pennant. Commissioner Ford
Frick is a likely candidate to
settle the stalemate.
Lane swapped Catcher Russ
Nixon to the Red Sox for White,
an outstanding receive, and
Jim Marshall, a utility man.
However, White pulled Lane
up short. He announced his
retirement Saturday.
THE deals off," Lane said
assuredly yesterday.
Lane hasn't got a foot to
stand on" countered Bucky
Harris. the Red Sox general
manager, emphasizing that he
considers the trade closed.
I'm returning Marshall and
want Nixon back" Lane said.
Second Thoughts on MinOsO
That's not all Lane may
want back. The way Minoso
is changing Chicago's hitless
wonders, Lane probably is
having second thoughts about
the trade that sent the Cuban
to the league champions.
Minoso. a 1902 hitter last
season at Cleveland with 80
RBI, stroked double and four
singles yesterday as the White
Sox blasted 81 hits and won
their seventh exhibition in
eight games with a 1872
humping Of Baltimore.

Rouse Lavagetto's Anger
Sievers, Bertoiu
And Woodeshick
Help Dodgers
By BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

ORLANDO. Fla, Mar. al
Spring exhibitions become
meaningless when opening day
arrives, but they provide gauges
of what to anticipate. In the
Senators case, Cookie Lava
getto doesn't like the way the
indicator is pointing. What he
sees is a shockingly inept in
field.
The failure of the Senator's
sluggers to get untracked can
be excused. They're free
swinging fellows who nor
mally require time to catch up
with the pitching, and their
progress has been retarded by
lack of batting practice. How
ever, Lavagetto is passing out
no pardons for sleepy infleld
play.
Cookie was burning after the
Dodgers inflicted a fourth
straight defeat on the Sena-
tors. Us, here yesterday. Wash
ington spurted into a 5-4 lead
with two out in the eighth
when Faye Throneberry crashed
a three-run pinch homer of
Johny Klippstein, but Los An
geles was assisted considerably
in producing three runs in the
ninth.
Gave Them Game
Were not charging the
ball." Cookie said, land I
haven't seen the alertness I
like in an infleld. We gave
them the game with bad infield
play"
Lavagetto could scan the in
field and distribute the blame
about equally. He also could
compliment Hal Woodeshick on
improved pitching, but berate
him for fuzzy fielding. The
lefthander permitted four runs
in four innings, but with more
polished fielding by the infield
and himself he could have
emerged unchanged.
Cookie has been skeptical
about Roy Sievers' defensive
ability, particularly in regard
to swooping in on slow ground
ers. John Roseboro set yester-
days winning rally in motion
by bunting down the first-base
line. He arrived safely because
Roy was slow in grabbing the
briskly bunted ball. giving the
Dodger catcher a chance TO
beat Sievers' headflrst dive for
the bag.
Bert0ia Misses Double
Bob Lillis followed with his
fourth hit, and this brought
no Joy to the Senator's brass.
The ball was hit sharply, but
barely to Second Baseman
Reno Bertoia's right. A
springhtly second baseman
might have converted it into
a double play, but instead it
became a double. scoring Rose
boro with the tying run.
Klippstein sacrificed and Lillis
might have been nailed, but

Eric Fleming was a stage and
movie actor who made a good
living in both fields until
someone decided he looked
like a Western hero.
He was made the star of
the ''Rawhide" TV series. It
has given him more fame and
more money than any other
acting job, but it has one
drawback.
You earn every cent of it
because you eat, sleep and
work like a real cowboy. I'm
up with those COWS at 4::30
am. every morning and they
get to bed earlier than I do
at night"

(AP).-A Presbyterian minister
and his six children were killed
last night when their car
slammed into a bridge abut-
ment as he was driving to visit
q friend while his wife attended
