doesn't hurt either.
Eaton and John Panagos,
who will supervise the opera

IA are not minimizing the
problem of persuading viewers
to convert their present sets to
receive the stations signal.
Panagos said yesterday that
the station hopes to have sew
eral plans in conjunction with
manufacturers to keep the cost
reasonable.
At present, depending on the
do-it-yourself capabilities OF
the man in your house, the cost
may range anywhere from
roughly $40 to $55. The United
Broadcasting Co., through its
radio stations, WOOK, WINK
and WFAN-FM, can do much
to spread the word-and the
action should undoubtedly
benefit WETA-TV as we'll.
It is in the programming

he added, to work very closely

Mel McGaha, the freshman
manager of the Indians, says
the contenders for the Ameri-
can League batting champion
ship, including his own Chuck
EsSegian, had better start tax
ing Nanny Jimenez seriously.
The 23-year-old rookie out
fielder of the Athletics has been
among the leaders most of the
season and has been on top
most of the time.
"Jimenez has a level swing
and should be a consistent
hitter" McGaha pointed out.
IF you pitch him close he gets
handle hits over the infield, and
if he gets the ball on the end
of the bat he has power.
The Senators will attest to
Manny's power. He beat them,
10, with his ninth home run
last Saturday and has hit five
since then.
The Athletics obtained Ji-
menez, Catcher Joe Azcue and
Ed Charles, a third baseman,
from Milwaukee last winter for
Bob Shaw. The AS might be
in bad shape but for that deal.
Jimenez, from San Pedro in
the Dominican Republic, speaks
little English. One of the
Kansas City baseball writers
said he has tried to interview
Nanny several times but has
given up. Nanny will start
with a few slowly spoken words
of English, but in his haste to
answer the question will switch
to Spanish, and increase the

Pepitone Not Excited, Yet,
About All Those Home Runs

NEW YORK, May Is (AP)-
That new kid who has been
walloping those home runs for
the Yankees in recent days is
not trying to make the fans
forget Mickey Mantle. All he
wants them to do is remember
Joe Pepitone.
From the looks of things,
Yankees fans will be getting to
know Pepitone quite well. He
should be around for a long
time.
Pepitone is only 81 and has
played less than 20 big league
ball games-first base and in
the outfield-but already he
has accomplished something
only IA others have been able
to do in all baseball history.
That happened last Wednesday
when he hit two home runs in
one inning.
Just to show it was no fluke,
the lean lefthanded- hitting
rookie walloped another homer
the next day, Ruthian smash
of well over 400 feet.
That gave him five homers in
his first Is games. In some of
those he was only a pinch
hitter.
THAT kid is gonna be a great
hitter some day." said Yogi
Berra. no slouch at the plate
himself. Hes good right now.
All he needs is experience"
The sudden surge, which had
him hitting around 300, happi-
ly hasn't gone to Pepitone's
head.
Those home runs, especially
those two in one inning, sure
felt great" he said, but it's
too early to get excited. So far
I've hit all the pitchers I've
faced pretty ell, but the true
test is the second time around.
1--WE always felt I could hit
and 1 don't think I lack conf
dence, but I'm not fooling my
self. It's tough up here. You've
got to bear down all the time.
That's one thing I've promised
myself. I'm going to hustle all
the time. I know there will be
times when I won't be able to
buy a base hit. That's when
I've got to bear down all the
harder.
That's what impressed me
about the fellows on this club.

18th.
The Yankees had the bases
full with one out in an extra
inning. ElSton Howard was on
third, Bill Skowron on second
and Jack Reed, a pinch runner,
on first.
The batter was Bobby Rich
ardson, one Of the Yankees
fast men. The Angels, of
d course, had the infield in.
Richardson slapped a ground
er to Shortstop Joe Hoppe, who
fired to the plate to force
Howard. Instead of the obvi-
GUS try for the double play at
first base, Catcher Bob Rodgers
fired to Yost at third and
Skowron was doubled coming in.
=
1--WE never seen a short-to-
home-to-third double play"
Mickey said as he reviewed the
play with his coaches.
With the home team at bat
in extra innings, not only the
catcher had to think fast, but
so did the third baseman. And
if the third baSeman wasn't
paying strict attention to buSi-
ness. the ball might have gone
by him and the game would
have been over. It's a good
thing the Angels had a smart
ball player like Yost on third" +"
Also, Mickey and his coaches
couldn't figure what took
Skowron so long to get to third,
even though he is not one of
the Yankees fastest men. Un-
doubtedly the play has hap

Arnold Heft, president of the
Home Plate Club, is extremely
pleased to announce that the
Clark Griffith Memorial will
have a new home-right where
it should be-in a most prom
inent spot just outside D. C.
Stadium.
Calvin Griffith and the
Twins will bear the expense
of moving the eight-ton monu-
ment, which cost about 1900.
The location will be to the
right of the driveway in front
of the stadium, just before the
exit to the road in front of the
main entrance.
The Home Plate Club spon-
sored the drive for funds to
build the memorial the year
after Mr.. Griffith's death in
1855. But the club members
noted with growing concern the
reports of vandalism to the Of
fices, stands and everything
else on the Griffith Stadium
grounds, and increased the
pace of their efforts to move
the monument.
The Department of the In
terror has plans to landscape
the area around the memorial.
Dutch Bergman has been in on
the arrangement, and Presidnt
Pete QueSada of the Senators
has given approval.
The Home Plate Club is
sponsoring the June 20 game
between the Senators and
Twins. Barring a hitch in the
moving plans, it hopes to de-
dedicate the Griffith Memorial
at that time. They hope to have
Mr.. Griffith's family and an
impressive list of dignitaries
present.
