VETERAN FULL OF ENTHUSIASM
Dole Long Hopes to Top
30 Homers for Senators
By BILL FUCHS
star staff Writer

PONPANo BEACH, Fla. Feb.
27.-Dale Long Is in the Sem
ators' camp, swinging Q heavy
bat and talking hopefully Of q
seasons output Of 80 or more
home runs.
The 6-foot-4 first baseman,
who set q major league record
Of eight home runs In eight
straight games for the Pirates
in 1886, reported yesterday.
The S5-year-old slugger
sported q crew cut to match his
rookie-like exuberance. He was
the first Of the infielders and
outfielders to report, except for
Danny, O'Connell, who was
signed as q free agent and came
to camp with the pitchers and
catchers last week.
In Hurry to Start
Infielders and outfielders
aren't due to report until We'd
nesday. but Long Is In q hurry
to get going after spending the
winter as q liquor salesman In
Massachusetts,.
after looking at football and
basketball games all winter, the
ball looks like an aspirin" he
said Just before driving one to
the fence in rightfield at the
350-foot mark.
81 had six home runs last
year in So at bats" he said.
"If ! get to play regularly I get
up over 400 times. At that rate
I'll hit over 30, but I don't
really set any figure to shoot
for. The best I ever did was a
for the Pirates.
"It seems I always have
played with bad clubs, but I'm
not talking about this one. I
think this club will be all right.
There's q saying that If you
could take your choice Of all
the guys sitting on the bench
In the major leagues. you'd
have o real good ball club"
Manager Mickey Vernon was
very happy to see the 215-
pound Long check in. But
Vernon will not form his ball
club on past experiences or
future expectations.
II sure hope he comes through
and belts Is or 80 homers for
US" Vernon says. "He could
do 1t. But you never can tell
from season to season what q
player will do. I know I never
could in my case"
Two Strong Rivals
r. c. Stevens, a 26-year-old
Negro, who raped 81 homers
and drove in 100 runs for Salt
Lake City last season, also has
his heart set on being the Sena-
tors regular first baseman.
And there's Bud Zipfel. big,
strong 22-year-old ex-outfielder
who hit. 20 homers and drove
in lot runs for Binghamton.
More than half Of his hits
went for extra bases.
Vernon will take the problems
of who will play what and when
as they arise. After five days
Of working out the pitchers, he
says he is more than satisfied.
They are throwing the ball
well now, all Of them" he says.
They're big and loose out there.
IT'S better than I expected"
Still missing from the scene
are Pitchers Hector Maestri
and Carl Matthias and Catcher
Gene Green. All three are ex-
pected momentarily. The rest
Of the squad Is expected to
pour in today and tomorrow.
