This is fine with Aston, who thinks
that too much pressure has been on How
ard in the past. when he natures" Walt
predicted, Frank will get his share"
The big boy may have begun his ma
turing during June of the 1861 campaign.
At one stage he was .211 hitter, but for
the remainder of the season he banged
away at a 1854 clip to finish with .295. Just
when it looked as if he might reach 300
he hurt knee, but it mended and he re-
Sumed his good hitting in the Winter
League in Puerto Rico.
Against half of the MI clubs last year
Howard hit 300 or better. He wore out the
Pirate pitchers, averaging .429, and combed
the Cardinal staff for 1854 mark. In June
he hit .348, in July an even 400, in August
1929. He played in only 80 games, including
10 as pinch-hitter. More evidence that
Frank might be growing up was his 1858
mark while batting for somebody else.
Even though it was not full season.
Howard would be widely credited with hav-
ing good year if it were not for the STILL
vibrant echoes of "the next Babe Ruth"
A buildup like that takes a little time to

which he sent to DR.. Willis N.

Although Nee, onetime as

Ray Looney, the lefthanded
passer who was a quarterback
for four years at George Wash
ington University, has an out
side chance of sticking with the
Minnesota Twins this year.
Looney was signed for a
healthy bonus with the Pirates
in 1859, the year that CIV won
the Sun Bowl game. But for
the first three years of his
baseball career he was troubled
by a shoulder injury suffered
when he was tackled in the
Air Force game in Griffith
Stadium in 1858. The Pirates
eventually gave up on him, and
the Twins signed Looney as a
free agent.
Looney finally submitted to
an operation instead of treat
ment, and for the last part of
the season with Nashville last
year hit 10 doubles, IA homers
and batted 1854.
Ray, who missed his senior
baseball year at CIV because
of the shoulder, is the No. 2
first baSeman with the Twins.
But even if Don Mincher does
MT make it. there are compl-
cations.
Harmon Killebrew could be
moved back to first, where he
spent most of last season after
Mincher was sent back to Buff
falo. Julio Becquer was brought
up to help Killebrew, but Julio
now is with Vancouver.
Manager Sam Mele said he
liked Looney's batting stroke,
but would prefer to have him
play regularly in the high
minors if Mincher proves he
can play first. But there is
considerable doubt among the
Twins followers that Mincher
will make good.
They say Killebrew is an
noyed with the constant shift
ing, from third to first, to the
outfield. If the Twins should
decide that Killebrew's home
is at third base, Looney might
stick this year.

PITCHING-It's too much
for even the most optimistic
Yankee buff to expect that
Whitley Ford will be a 25-4
pitcher again, or that Luis
Arroyo will duplicate IS wins
in relief. But even with less
sensational performances by
this pair of veteran left
handlers, the world cham
pions' pitching staff should
rank among the top three in
the American League, prob
ably sandwiched between
Baltimore's and Detroit's, as
in 1861.
Whereas the Yankees had
young phenoms buzzing about
their Florida training camp
in the infield and outfield,
none was a pitcher. Instead,
Manager Ralph Houk will
bank on such youthful hold
overs as Ralph Terry 1853,
Jim Coates (11-5), Roland
Sheldon C11-5) and Bill Stat
ford CAD, to help Ford and
Arroyo with the big load.
These, plus such not-so-
youthful veterans as Bob
Turley (3-5), Bud Daley g.
81 and Robin Roberts Clio
with the Phillies), leave little
room for newcomers. Turley

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA, MAR. IT,
The first time the Los Angeles Dodgers
high command watched Frank Oliver
Howard swish bat, there were appreciative
whistles of awe. He stood 6-feet-7, weighed
a solid 240 pounds and was only 81 years old
This was at the Florida training camp
in 1858. 1t was obvious that Howard, top
basketball player at Ohio State, wasn't
ready for the majors but that didn't stop
the Dodger drumbeaters. "This kid is the
hitter who will break Babe Ruth's 6O-homer
record" they predicted.
They felt it was not too reckless a
propheSy because '58 was the Dodgers first
year in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Howard,
it was reasoned, would be ripe before even
Walter OMalley could practice his magic
and come up with real ball park So big
and strong was the kid that it seemed pos
sible he could drive home runs over the
short wire screen in Los Angeles even if
he didn't get good piece of pitch.
At the time the Dodgers had farm
club at Green Bay. Howard batted 1888 and
hit 81 homers there in SO. The next year he
still was "the next Ruth" and at Victoria
he batted 1856 and hit q homers It was
Spokane in SO and a .319 average. Again in
so he was farmed to Spokane but Frank
obviously was too good for the Pacific Coast
League. After hitting .371 in 26 games
Howard was called back by the Dodgers to
stay. But
Hardly anybody, not even the fearless
publicist Red Patterson, now speaks of
"the next Babe Ruth
FRANK STILLS GOOD prospect"
Manager Walter Aston said, although he's
got little strike-zone problem. He'll go
for pitch too often that isn't merely
doubtful-itll be or inches from the
plate"
1t was suggested timidly that perhaps
a man who stands CT might have too big
a strike zone to handle, but Aston shook
his head in disagreement. IT don't think
So" Walt said. Franks arms are long
enough to handle any pitch that is good
enough to be called strike
Il wasn't big league ball player, my
self" Aston unused, proving that he has
sense of humor. 1t is common knowledge
that, although he played 10 seasons in Or
ganized ball, his major league career was
brief and undistinguished. He batted once
Tor the Cardinals and struck out. At first
base Walt had two chances and booted one.
II wasn't a big Lacquer" Walt repeated,
"but I know Towards problem because it
was mine, too. When hit good pitch
drove it almost as far as anybody. But
ran into strike-zone trouble, too"
ASTON REFERS TO HOWARD as a
prospect, although the giant is Is years old
now and has played parts of four seasons
with the Dodgers "Some fellows mature
late" Aston explained. Especially big
fellows"
=. Although Howard achieved All-America
basketball status at Ohio State, he is not
the most mobile of baseball players. Aston
still doesn't know where to play him, first
base or the outfield. When he was asked
