Zipfel was brought up from
the Triple-A Houston club last
week. He soon discovered some
rather pointed differences be-
tween Triple-A and major
league ball.
THE pitchers up here are
smarter for one thing" he says.
II knew they'd be smarter, but
I didn't think they would be
that much smarter.
up here you have somebody
working on you every game.
They try to figure you out
more, always looking for what
you can't hit.
But I feel like I'll hit up
here. At first everything was

OF all the players gracing the
Washington roster in this first
year of expansion, only three
are figured as solid performers
Of the future. And none of the
three-zipfel, Second Baseman
Chuck Cottier and Shortstop
Bob Johnson-Started the sea-
son with the Senators. zipfel
and johnson were called up
from the minors and Cottier
was obtained in a trade with
the Tigers,
There is a growing legion of
Cottier admirers around the
circuits. If there is a better sec
ond baseman in the league,
Nellie Fox, star for years at
that position for the White Sox,
says he doesn't know who it is.
Coach George Susce of the
Senators says Cottier is the
best second baseman in both
leagues.
johnson, who was leading the
International League in batting
when he was called up two
weeks ago, also is a second
baseman of experience. but two
second basemen on the field
would be one too many. so
johnson now is learning to be
a shortstop.
Long after the Weddings,
O'Connells and Longs and such
have departed from the scene,
these three are expected to be
manning their gloves and bats
for the Senators. Those three
definitely are in our future
plans" Vernon says.
-
OF the three, Zipfel has the
potential for being the biggest
star. Cottier's fancy glove will
