Roy Sievers: A Member of the PhiIIies
By FRANCIS sTANN

MIAMI BEACH, NOV 29.-For Roy
Sievers, some baseball people are thinking,
the party is over. The one-time Washing
ton favorite belongs to the Phillies now
He is going on SO years of age and Phila-
delphia'S is not the park best suited for a
hitter of Roy's type.
1t might have been a break for Sievers
had the Chicago White Sox traded him to,
say the Red Sox, who have a short fence
in Boston. He could have counted on an
other four years, perhaps, as top-salaried,
hitting player in Fenway Park.
What if the Los Angeles Dodgers were
to play again in the Coliseum in go? There
was jury-built park made to order, appar-
emily for Sievers But the Dodgers now are
moving to their new abode, Chavez Ravine,
and they didn't bid high for SieverS. The
fences are too far and Roy isn't any
younger.
So SieverS apparently winds up with
the PhillieS, who must be one of the worst
major league clubs today, including the
new ones in both circuits. 1t is no team,
nor any park, for a slow-footed ballplayer
whose best years ostensibly are behind him.
AS THESE LINES were written-with
baSeball's best brains hopping from the
minor league meetings to the big league
confab here-the White Sox were the most
active in the trade mart Unannounced,
but clearly apparent, was ChicagoS desire
to start all over to trade off the old
guard that won the pennant in So
They have been cute about it so far
in that Minnie Minoso was swapped to the
Cardinals and Sievers to the PhillieS In
short they are in the National League and
can't hurt the Sox. Next to go, according to
the grapevine, will be Nellie Fox, the vet
eran second baseman. 1t might be that
Houston, one of the two new N. L. teams,
will wind up with him.
There we're a few fleeting moments
when it looked as if Sievers might return
to Washington. He still is co-holder with
Harmon Killebrew of the all-time Senator
record for home runs in a season, AZ.
I'VE could have landed Sievers," says
General Manager Ed Doherty, "but you
should have heard what the Sox wanted
for him!"
This is the familiar cry of every gen.
eral manager. All others in their brackets

store by these but so are the others with
their So-called untouchables.
TO RETURN TO SEWERS, here is a
story of player who could do everything
d.. hit, run and field. Well, maybe he
wasn't so good in the running department
not like George Case, anyway-but he
moved well enough when he was rookie
in 49 to play third base and the outfield.
1t was his lot to break in with the old
st. Louis Browns who were hopeless ball
club. Then, after suffering a shoulder
injury that almost wrecked his career he
belonged to the Senators. This was for a
Six-year period-1954 to 1959-and Wash
ington never climbed out of the second
division.
But Roy tried to lift the Senator'S He
never hit fewer than 81 home runs and his
AZ cloutS and ia runs batted in during
1857 were top marks in the American
League. He had to play first base exclu-
sively because he couldn't throw. He wasn't
great, nor was he bad at the position
The Griffiths never had so many home
runs as when Roy played in the old park.
Killebrew joined Sievers as a long buster
and so did Jim Lemon. The pattern Of the
Senator clubs was far different from the
old-style teams that needed four hits to
score run. True, they didn't win, but
they were exciting.
THE WHITE SOX SPENT four years
trying to acquire Sievers from Washington.
At one time the offer was astronomical
baIplayers plus $250,OOO in cash. Finally
the Sox got him in April of go for $l50,000,
plus Catcher Earl Battey and First Base
man Don Mincher.
The Sox had been the pennant winners
in SO and were trying to stay on top.
SieverS replaced Ted Kluszewski. Fox still
was the best second baSeman in the Amer
ican League and Minoso had joined
Chicago, making the Sox an elderly club
but one that seemingly had new power
and depth.
SieverS hit his quota of homers for
the Sox (28 in go and 27 in 6D but the
front office was disappointed, not only with
Roy but with MinoSo and Fox and others.
So they began to sell them off, first Minoso
to the Cardinals and Sievers to the PhillieS.
The handwriting is on the wall for Fox.
A lot of people in Washington would
like to wish Sievers luck It's kind of awk-
ward, however, when guy winds up with
the Phillies.

Turned Down

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 90
(AP) .-Notre Dame has turned
thumbs down on a ruling that
the Irish defeated Syracuse,
17-15. on an illegal play.
Gen. Bob Neyland of the
NCAA Rules Committee yester-
day said the Irish victory over
Syracuse came on an illegal
play in the game played No

However. Rev. Edmund c.
Joyce, Notre Dame vice presi-
dent. refused to accept the
verdict and asked for judgment
by "a competent board"
On the final play Of the con-
troversial game, Notre Danes
Joe Perkowski attempted a field
goal. The officials ruled the
kicker had been roughed,
penalized Syracuse is yards
and gave Notre Dame another
chance at a field goal.
Ruled Officials Erred
Perkowski's second attempt
was good although no time re-.
mained on the field and Notre
Dame turned a 15-l4 loss into
a 17-15 victory on the field
goal from the 31-yard line.
Neyland, backed by Bill Reed.
commissioner of the Big Ten,
and Asa Bushnell of the East
ern College Athletic Confer
ence, ruled the officials erred
in giving Notre Dame another
attempt and that Syracuse ac-
tually won the game.
But the Irish are in no mood
to forfeit the game. Father
Joyce yesterday released a
statement in which he quoted
the rules to favor Notre Danes
stand and then asked to have
the matter thoroughly "adju-
dlcated by a competent board"
Charges Injustice
In addition Father Joyce
said, I'VE wish to reiterate
strongly our request that the
entire NCAA Rules Committee
weigh the evidence and give
a decision on the disputed play.
:. . We feel that serious in
justice to Notre Dame is being
further compounded. :"
Last week, the Rev. Theo-

that everyone knows Notre
Dame doesn't want to win a

that we didn't, we'll act accord
ingly."
