"Why?"
II dunno" he answered. 1.-THE distance
from the mound to the plate is supposed
to be so feet inches. You pitch to those
characters and it seems like feet-with
the ball coming back at you!
"Off the field" he went on, II love 'em
both. But when you see Keller leaning over
the plate and you're in a tight spot, well
just don't TRUST him!"
YOUNG KELLER, IN keeping with the
modern, vitamin fed generation stands 60
and weighs about 1885, He's growing all
the time.
He is taking dead aim at first base,
presently patrolled by Bill Skowron when
his back isn't hurting. Ar eager heir is
John Blanchard the clutch hitting catcher,
but he's nearly 20 years old and you've got
to like young Keller's chances.
The kid must have welded a pretty
good and improving stick since he broke
into pro ball with st. Petersburg in SO.
There he hit .291. Then Keller moved up
to Fargo Moorehead (from whence Bob
Teller was spawned and hit .304.
Last year Keller was at Binghamton
and he obviously found himself. He batted
.349, leading tough Eastern League, and
all of his hits weren't singles, either.
NOW THERE'S ANOTHER kid stepping
into the batting cage. He wears "61" and
his name is Mike Hogan. This is the son
of the virtually flawless catcher, Jim, who
happens to be a coach for the Yankees.
Houk remembers Hogan, even if he
couldn't call up the memory of fresh, the
other catcher, or of Keller. Hogan and
Houk were contemporaries, the former an
artist behind the plate and Ralph rarely
used catcher.
Mike Hegan the kid, also is taking a
shot at first base. He may be few sea-
sons away from such a job. If he ever
makes it, he'll have to hit little better
than his Daddy.
guy doesn't play first base for the
Yankees unless he hits, and for distance, at
that. On the other hand, Padre Hogan
was magnificent catcher.

A familiar coaches cry Is
"Give me performance and you
can have potential" but if that
was true in Joe Schaffernoth's
case he probably wouldn't be
among the latest of the Sena-
tors to come to terms.
Schaffernoth, who if nothing
else probably has the longest
name in the big leagues. started
with the Chicago Cubs last sea-
son and had an o. record. He
was sent to Salt Lake City,
where he was 0-3, and finished
the season with Cleveland
where he was OIL. That adds
to no victories and eight de-
feats.
The Senators obviously saw
enough in Schaffernoth to buy
him conditionally from the In
dams. If they keep him after
March 26 it's a deal.
Sheehan Secuted Him
General Manager Ed Doherty
said before leaving for Florida
today that Jack Sheehan, a
Senator's scout, watched Schaf-
fernoth once or twice last year
and recommended him. The
Senators purchased him shortly
after the Jim Piersall trade,
when they noted the Indians
roster was overloaded with
pitchers.
Schaffernoth, a 24-year-old
highlander, was brought up
three times with the Cubs. He
had a 10 record in 1859 and
2-3 in 1860. His best years in
the minors were 1856 when he
had a 21-6 record with Paris.
Nebr., and 1860 when he was
81 with Houston.
Schaffernoth was used strictly
in relief last year, usually as a
middle reliever. He was in SO
games with the Cubs and In
dams but started none and only
finished Is.
The Senators also signed Joe
Hicks, former University of Vir-
ginia athlete who started the
season here last year, and Carl
Bouldin, a bonus pitcher.
Played 20 Games Here
Hicks was with the Senators
for 20 games before being sent
to Indianapolis. He batted .172

Association. He is %.

Skinner Signs
hPiratesto
Complete List
BY the Associated Press

The Pirates expect to have
a group of contented baseball
players on hand when Their
regular 40-man squad reports
to Fort Myers, Fla. for spring
training in 10 days.
All the Pirates have indicated
they are satisfied with the con.
tract terms offered them fol
the 1862 season, which they
hope will hold better results
for them than did the 1861
campaign.
Pittsburgh completed the
signing of its roster when out
fielder Bob Skinner agreed to
terms yesterday. The Pirates
became the second major league
club to sign all its players,
the Cubs being the first to do
so.
Tougher Last Year
A year ago the Pirates didn't
have such an easy time of
getting their players in line.
Pittsburgh had won the 1860
National League Pennant and
then had defeated the Yankees
in the World Series.
A majority of the team had
good seasons in 1860 and it
was only natural that the
players salary demands would
be high for 1861. Whether or
not they got the contracts they
wanted, the point remains that
Pittsburgh skidded all the way
down to sixth place last year.
The 30-year-old Skinner, a
sparkplug of the BUGS pennant
drive in 1860 and an All-Star
leftfielder, was a dud last sea-
son. He batted 1858 and hit only
three homers while batting in
AZ runs. Skinner is starting
his eighth season with Pitts
burgh.
Signings Taper Off
The signings tapered off a
bit yesterday but nevertheless
there were several noteworthy
contract acceptances. South
paw Jim O'Toole, a 19-game
winner last year, became the
28th member of the National
League pennant-winning Reds
to sign. @
Other signings included First
Baseman Willie McCovey Of the
Giants, Outfielder Willie Davis
Iof the Dodgers, Pitchers Allen
Brice and Russ Kemmerer, In
fielder Sam opposite and Out
fielder Ken Berry of the White
Sox, who now have 80 players
in line, and Pitcher Dennis
Ribant and Catcher Bob Uec-
ker, who brought the Braves
satisfied list to %.
In addition, all % pitchers
and catchers have agreed to
contract terms with Houston.
