VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Roqer Moris and the $40 900 Question
BY FRANCIS STANN

POMPANO BEACH, FLA, MAR 6-You
might say the $4,000 question at this time
is whether Roger Maris can match, approx
imately or surpass his 61-homer season
Don't bet that he will The American
League pitchers most of them at any rate
aren't.
ut all depends on the pitchers" Sid
Hudson says. Personally, think that if
they pitch to him correctly he'll have a
tough time approaching 81 home runs"
Hudson is the pitching coach of the
Senators and, despite his brief tenure in
that role, already is widely recognized as
one Of the good ones. We put the question
to Sid this way: IF you still were pitching,
how would you throw to Maris?"
Fast balls, away from him." Hudson
answered promptly. Fast balls and change
ups. No Sliders. Not many curves" Then
he added what at first blush sounds odd, to
wit:
TITS to the advantage of the pitcher to
get behind Maris in the count Say, two
balls and no strikes. Then pitcher can
make him start fishing. He'll be looking
for that fast pitch, an automatic strike,
and he's liable to hit bad ball."
MARIs AND MICKEY MANTLE are
two different types of hitters, Hudson points
out. "Maris has beautiful swing" Sid
comedies, 'but he can hit only one pitch
IT'S got to be slightly inside. Rog pulls
everything, or tries to pull. I don't think I
saw him hit to the opposite field once all
last year.
Mantle presents more of problem,
think. No matter whether Mickey is bat
ting right or lefthanded, he has so much
power that he's apt to hit home run to
the opposite field. Maris only hits pull
home runs That's the big reason why he's
never batted for a big average and isn't
likely to do it."
Hudson is speaking only of the top
pitchers, not the fringe type. Against a
good pitcher with live fast ball." Sid ex-
planned, "Rog can't get his bat around to
pull if the pitch is away from him. What
he'll do is hit long out to centerfield.
Against mediocre pitchers, of course, he'll
pull even if the pitch is on the outside
corner"
Jimmy Dykes who managed the Cleve-
land Indians, has voiced criticism of the
way American League pitchers, particu-
larly his own, pitched to Maris last year.
"He got eight of his home runs off my
pitchers" Dykes said. There was no ex-
cuse for them. They threw to his power"
DYKES rs BITTERLY OPPOSED to the
slider. He thinks it ought to be outlawed on
grounds of fraud. Hudson is not as We
hement in criticizing the slider, but he VOWS
that it is dangerous pitch to Maris.
UNLESS righthander's slider or left
handlers screwball breaks on Rogers fists
it's liable to wind up in the Seats" Hudson
maintains. "If a slider doesn't break there
1t is, smack over the middle or just inside.
With that grooved swing, Maris will lose it.
A curve ball is equally dangerous because if

with the Reds, but may have
been just a slow starter. He
was voted the American As
sociation's most valuable player
last year, paying for Indiana
polls. where he batted .311 and
slammed 80 home runs.
Will Miss Two Months
Cooks home run potential
will be vitality needed to COM
pensate for the loss of the 90
year-old Freese, whom doctors
say will miss the first two
months of the season. Freese
had his finest major league
season in helping the Reds to
the pennant. He hit PIT, belted
rs homers and drove in 81 runs
after being acquired from the
White Sox.
Cook was mentioned last
week as bait to get Don DEM

POMPANO BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 6.-Manager Mickey Yer
non acted quickly today to kill
off reports of dissension among
the Senators which broke out
yesterday when Gene Woodling
aimed some angry words at
Jimmy Piersall.
Woodling, the Senator's
player-representative and also
the American League repre-
sentative, was quoted as being
highly critical of Piersall's
playing ability. Gene thought
he saw indications that Piersall
was the subject of favoritism
by the club management, and
he demanded that all players
be treated equally.
Before the dust settled, the
story caused quite a furore
among some people in the
camp.
Today Vernon called the en-

Pitcher joey Jay today ended
his brief but hot contract battle
with the Reds by signing a
$4,000 pact and solving one of
Manager Fred Hutchinson's
major problems with the Ma
tional League champions.
jays signing took some of
the sting out of yesterdays
miShap in a squad game which
resulted in a broken ankle for
Gene Freese, Slugging third
baseman.
Jay, a 26-year-old right
handler who won 81 games for
the Reds last year, said he was
satisfied with the terms after
a verbal battle with General
Manager Bill Dewitt during
the last few days.
During the wrangling, Jay
attempted to become a free
agent by trying to buy his con-
tract from the club, first for
$150,000 and then for 5000 900.
Dewitt and Jay huddled late
last night and again this morn
ing before coming to an agree
ment.
Hutchinson Elated
Hutchinson said he was
elated over jays coming to
terms. Glad he's back" Hutch
said. II feel like we've just
picked up 81 more games"

|. No Meal Money
"They say Piersall has to
room alone. I could name Is
guys on this ball club who
should room alone. So he had
his room changed. Maybe there
was a reason. But I hit the
ceiling when I heard he was
getting meal money"
Actually, Piersall is not get
ting meal money. He asked
Doherty if it was permissible
after his first day here, and
Doherty said positively not.
Doherty said Jimmy just said,
"Okay."
Piersall was given a room
alone-aS will be done during
the entire season-because his
psychiatrist recommended it

the motel because his wife is
with him. During the season

roommate last year, does not

Just Big Windstorm
1T was just a big windstorm, "
Doherty said. 1--WE have rules
on this ball club and they apply
to everybody. Woodling knows
that, and so does Piersall."
Meanwhile, PierSall didn't
seem to know what the squabble
was all about.

trouble" Jimmy said. IT never

privileges and never will.
have always liked and admired
Gene very much. I don't know
why he is teeing off on me-"
Piersall was In an exception
ally good humor yesterday as
he waited after practice to tape
a television show. He not only
posed freely for pictures fol
some OF the late-staying specta-
tors, but he also suggested to
some OF them how to take bet
ter pictures.
The paradox is that the day
before. Woodling made the re-
marks, he praised Piersall free
ly, saying how much Jimmy
would help the ball club and
how much he would help him
in covering rightfield.
Just before leaving Municipal
Stadium yesterday Woodling
said, II hope Piersall hits $50"

A SMILE!

Nothing on earth can smile but
the race of man. Gems may flash
reflected light; but what is dia-
mond flash compared with an eye
flash and mirth-flash! F wers
cannot smile. That is the charm
which even they cannot claim.
Birds cannot smile, nor any other
living thing; it is the prerogative
of man. 1t is the color which love
wears, and cheerfulness, and joy
--these three. 1t is the light in the
window of the face, by which the
heart signifies that it is at home
and waiting to entertain friends. A
face that cannot smile is like bud
that cannot blossom and dries up
on the stalk. Laughter is day, and
sobriety is night, and smile is

Its characters then are al
most miraculously humanity

Sullivan, herself a blind, half
educated Irish orphan, IS the
miracle worker Of the title
whose three words could not
be more precisely descriptive.
Indispensable to making the
film the exalting experience of
the cinema year are its key
performance. These are the
work Of Anne Bancroft as
Axinie Sullivan, and of Patty
Duke as the furious small
animal who was the child
Helen Keller.
Under the wider eye Of the
camera, the acting of these two
is even more searching, savage
and ultimately ennobling than
it was in the original play. This
is due in large part to the con-
troll over the film version MAIN
tanned by the creators of the
original play, William Gibson
who adapted it here, Arthur
Penn who is again its director,
and Fred Coe who repeats as
its producer.
Wise enough, these latter
were, to shoot the awesome,
incredibly suspenseful film in
black and white. And, just as
vital to its drama, to take care
fully measured advantage of
the screens greater scope.
There is more then to the
story told now by the camera.
Nevertheless, its miracle still
begins with Miss Bancroft's
mystical conviction that. at the
center Of the furies which beset
Miss Dukes Helen, is a glowing
intelligence waiting to be set
free.
Medical science and every
other shred Of evidence con-
tradict this assumption. They
assert that the child is what
she is externally, a frenzied lit
tie hump Of flesh, blind. deaf
and beyond hope of redemp-
tom
Inspired by her own escape
from darkness, the invincibly
stubborn teacher demands the
right to try to put one word
the name Of a thing into the
mind Of her pupil. To this end
she will use sign language and
whatever Of physical violence,
fundamentally, and towering
patience she can find among
her limited resources. Thus are
laid the battle lines of one of
the most awesome, suspenseful
struggles in the history of hui
man education. And, to be sure,
one Of the most rewarding.
AS in the case OF the play,
one Of the unforgettable graces
Of the filmed Miracle Worker"
Is that it can be as funny as
1t is in the course of being so
deadly serious. Like Annie Sui

His two big dramatic scenes
remain the physical battle be-
tween Miss Sullivan and Helen
in which the former establishes
her authority. and that final

which Helen puts together the

is the name to say water"
