The relief pair, Lown and Staley, came
via straight purchases and perhaps the best
pitcher on AL Lopez staff right now is
Frank Baumann, who won 13 of 10 de-
cisions last season after the Red Sox mis-
guidedly traded him for Ron Jackson.
If the farm system could have produced
on a reasonable scale, the White Sox with
their luck in other fields Of procurement,
might well be far greater pennant threats
than rated. That the Sox are given
chance even as they now stand, aging and
unbalanced, could be interpreted as an un-
flattering commentary on the American
League.
At the end of the first week, both the
new Senators and Angels got on the board
dispelling the direst fears that neither
would win game. Meanwhile-and of
special interest, perhaps, to Washington
buffs-the Minnesota Twins, alias Cal Grit
fith's old Senators, are finding themselves
leading the league but maybe in a little
trouble, too.
THE TWINS WERE LOOKING like solid
first-division contenders even flag threats
to the enthusiastic new fans in the Upper
Midwest after the two Cubanolas-Pete
Ramos and Camilo Pascual-won big over
the Yankees and Orioles. Then came Black

Harmon KillebreW, now a seven-year
veteran at age "a, field captain and playing
a position first base) he likes, hurt him
self again. He may have the most suspect
legs of any star in the AL, including Mickey
Mantle. A pulled hamstring similar to the
ailment that plagued the slugger last year,
apparently will keep him out of action for
about three weeks.
1t may be remembered that Killebrew
missed the first week Of 1860 with flat
wheel and later was lost for much longer
stretch. His brittleness probably cost him

AS A STUDY in inconcluSiveness, base
balls opening week was characteristic. If
any trend was suggested it was two-fold
and to wit: talent is spread pretty thin and
the farms aren't producing.
This seems especially true in the Amer
lean League, which saw the Baltimore
Orioles almost overnight strongly modify
their youth movement and the New York
Yankees admittedly begin looking for bench
strength These contenders have farm clubs
is between them, in fact-but the Yank-
ees would like to have back such old pappy
guys as Bob Cerv and Dale Long and the
Orioles already have started to deal for
older blood
In the case Of Baltimore, little time was
wasted in giving up one of its kid pitchers,
Jerry Walker, for 31-year-old Dick Williams,
an outfielder and 30-year old Dick Hall, a
pitcher whose chief recommendation is
control. Now the Orioles have purchased
34-year-old Clint Courtney, who has trav-
eled farther than Yuri Gagarin.
Significant is the added fillip that both
williams and Courtney are returning to the
Orioles for the third time. And that Off
setting the tabled youth Of Paul Richards
troops are not only this pair, plus Hail. but
such as Hoyt wilhelm, Skinny Brown, Walt
Dropo and Dave Philley. They've all been
shaving for long time.
EVEN A CASUAL LOOK at the first
weeks lineups testifies that for old gaffers
there still is place in major league ball.
Some, like Ted Kluszewski positively were
Woodling, Early Wynn, Cal McLish, Minnie
Minoso, Joe Adcock, Del Rice, Turk Lown
and Gerry Staley, were certified job-holders.
There has been much breast-beating
in recent months because the AIS new
clubs, Washington and Los Angeles, have
few farms so far. The new Senators, in
deed, have only the Class D Pensacola out
let, and yet week ago when the White Sox
were in town one wondered whether farm
system in this day and time really is so all
fired essential.
The White Sox have been in business
for over go years and haven't been out Of
the first division in a decade. Yet with
the exception of Rookie ]. c. Martin at
third base-and his hold is tenuous and
based mostly on his lefthanded batting
stance-Chicago'S personnel mainly was
acquired by trades.
OF the opening day lineup, Wynn,
sherm Lollar, Roy sievers, Nellie Fox, Min
oso and AL Smith came to the Sox in deals.
Luis Aparicio and Jim Lands, the other
two, scarcely were developed. Aparicio,
already polished in his native Venezuela,
was signed for song in stroke Of luck.

The Senators are today's hit
less wonders, and the pitchers
are wondering if they should
take their case to court on
grounds of desertion and lack
of support.
Beaten 80 by a ninth-inning
Cleveland rally in yesterdays
home-stand final at Griffith
Stadium, the Senators hope
that they are plagued with only
"a temporary case of batting
atrophy and that a geographic
change will act as a cure.
Idle today, they hope to play
the White Sox in Chicago's
home opener tomorrow. How
ever, winter still fingers in Chi

snow fell yesterday.

anybody would have imagined

There are a flock Of potential

Heavy Hitting
Moves Twins
Into Lead
Homers byAIIison
And Versailles Beat
Baltimore Twice
BY the Associated Press

The transplanted Minnesota
Twins are leading the Ameri-
can League after taking both
ends Of a Sunday double
header from the highly re-
garded Baltimore Orioles.
Bob Allison. an accepted
Slugger, and zoilo Versailles,
supposedly a glove man,
boosted the Twins into the
league lead with their home
runs in yesterdays double VIC
tory at Baltimore. Thus the
Twins were assured of a
raucous welcome home Friday
afternoon.
Allison drove in seven runs
with a grand-slam homer and
a three-run homer in the 1915
first game. Versailles, the 20
year-old Cuban shortstop, won
the second game, ga, with his
two-run homer in the 18th.
Rain, Cold Cut Schedule
While the former Washing
ton club was flexing its
muscles, the new Senators were
settling near the cellar after
a 30 defeat by Cleveland.
Rain, cold weather and snow
washed out the scheduled
double headers between New
York and Kansas City and Los
Angeles and Boston, and sin
gle game between Chicago and
Detroit.
Allison really had himself a
ball in the first game at Balti-
more. Chuck Estrada, who re-
portedly has arm trouble,
walked the first three men he
faced. Allison followed with
4 his grand-slammer. Allison hit
another in the sixth with two
men on base, long after Estrada
had departed.
Ramos Off Form
Pedro Ramos, far off the form
he showed in shutting out New
York on opening day, gave up
IL Of the Orioles IA hits before
he was replaced by Ray Moore
in the seventh. However, Pedro
was the winner.
/ Bill Pleis, third Of four Min
nesota pitchers, won the second
game on Versailles homer, fol-
lowing a walk to Reno Bertoia.
1t was Versailles fourth hit in
six trips in the game and his
second major league homer. The
l50-pound shortstop. a 1873 hit
ter in IS games last year, now
is batting .478. Don Mincher
also hit homer for the Twins.

average, but neither is a power
hitter and after them the
averages of the regulars dip
sharply. Team batting is .222.
But the pitching has been
magnificent. The five pitchers
who have seen action to date
have given up 10 earned runs
and 80 hits. The infield, too,
has been tight. The Senators
came up with three double
plays yesterday, which helped
them ease into the ninth inn
ing on the front end of a 30
score.
When Donovan had allowed
only six hits through the first
eight innings he appeared a
cinch to get the victory that
eluded him in the opener. But
Johnny Temple led off the
ninth with his third straight
single and Tito Francona beIted
a home run over the right
field fence. Jimmy Piersall and
Willie Kirkland followed with
singles and Vernon called for
Hernandez. He served up a
single to Woody Held, Cleve-
lands fifth straight hit, and
that drove in the winning run.
AntOnelli Nicked
The Senator's scored both
their runs off Johnny Antonelli,
making his first American
League start, in the third in
ming. Dutch Dotterer and Dono-
van hit successive singles and
then Antonelli gave up success
sive walks to Marty Keough
and Veal. Woodling drove in
the second run while being
thrown out by Second Baseman
Temple.
NOTES: Seven bus-loads of
the "Stick With Mick" club Of
the Chester, Pa, area came to
the game. They presented the
manager with a scroll before
the game. Those present in

said he had no idea when
