WzN LOSE OR DRAW
Calvin Griffith Over a BurreI
BY FRANCIS sTANN.

PoMPANo BEACH, Fla Mar. L.
For some 80 minutes yesterday the Sen
atorS had pitcher in their clubhouse who
could almost guarantee first-division fin
ish. '@rhe trouble with you," sighed Man
ager Mickey Vernon as he eyed Camilo
PaScual, "is that can't sign you" TO
which a newSpaperman added, Neither
can Calvin Griffith" 81.
Pascual, of the Minnesota Twins, alias
the "old" Senators, is a holdout, along with
his Cuban running mate, Pedro Ramos.
They are living in Miami and refusing to
report to the Orlando training camp unless
their terms are met. It would seem as II
the Cuban cuties have Calvin over bar
rel. Without this pair the Twins might
as well close up the shop.
On certain days there is no better
pitcher in the American League than Pas
cual. He is the acknowledged king Of the
"stuff" pitchers, meaning that he can
throw everything that's worth throwing
fast ball, fast, slow and medium curves,
plus change-up.
Last season-not his best-he won Is
and lost 16 for club that played only .4S8
ball. How many would win if I pitch
for the Yankees?" Pascual asked in reply
to question. well, I lost five games that
would have won on better club. So that
make 20-11 for the season, yes?"
ONE OF THE BASEBALL WRITERS
asked, "Camilo, what are you basing your
holdout on? Is it all the money that Cal
vim made in Minneapolis last season or
your pitching recordq"
my pitching record, Pascual replied.
IT had good year even if the record, it
say 1916. Ramos, they want him to take
cut. He pitched 264 innings and Calvin
wants to cut him. So we don't sign"
Calvin gave himself raise" some
body reminded. "He just doubled his own
salary, that's ALL"
Camilo nodded sagely, knowingly.
Calvin had good year." Camilo said
in droE tone.
Sherry Robertson got big raise" the
other recalled. $50 did Jimmy and Billy
Robertson and all the other Griffith Rob-
ertsons."
"They all had good years." Pascual con-
ceded with marvellous dry humor
LIKE so MANY OTHER native Cubans
in the major leagues, Pascual didn't go back
to his homeland over the winter. Most of
the disenchanted Cubans lived in Miami
and played softball
Softball? I'VE have league in Mi
ami" PascGal said. my team-the Cuban
team-win all games, lose none. Ramos,
he play. MaeStri, Gonzalez :. lots of us
play"

whose value probably is something like
100000 or 100000 on today's market, play

nament.
The field will play 18 holes
tomorrow, 18 Saturday and
double up Sunday with SO
holes-weather permitting.
Defending Champion Arnold
Palmer had promised to tee
off come hell or high water
despite ear infections that re-
quired a surgeons lance, loss
of equilibrium and a bad cold.
Palmer said infection drained
from his ears Tuesday night
after a doctor had lanced the
abceSSeS.
But the doctor who did the
operation said he would advise

tournament got a bad break
in the weather with a cold front
before the rain bringing sub
freezing temperatures after
weeks of spring warmth.
Should Palmer be forced to
the sidelines, the favorite's role
would fall to- any of several
players. including Bo Wininger,
winner of the New Orleans
Open last Sunday and title
holder here in 1855, or Doug
Sanders, Bob Rosburg or Pudgy

ing softball is enough to turn clubowner's
hair gray. And pitching, too-pitching un
derhand.
"It was something to do," Camilo
Nouched. sssNo worse than pitching in old
Winter League in Cuba, only no money"
before the Fidelisimo loused up pro-
fesstenal baseball in Cuba it was standard
practice for Pascual, Ramos, Minnie Min
oso and other Cubans to beat it back to the
Pearl of the Antilles and take up where they
left off in the States. While he was play
ing virtually the year round, Pascual never
would admit that 1t was a strain.
He admitted yesterday that it was.
"BY JULY AM VERY TIRED" he
said. "But the money, it was good. make
$1,000 month. Pitch twice week. maybe.
Minoso he make $4,000 month. Now I
don't play in Cuba and feel very strong,
but not so much money"
Ramos, more of rubber-arm than Pas
cual, thought nothing of pitching 274 inn
nings in the American League (as he did
in 1960) and 18O more in the Cuban Win
ter League. The thought that Calvin wants
to slice the salary of Pedro, so willing to
work every day if asked, saddenS Camilo
almost as much as his own problem with
the Twins.
"They say Pete, he lose too many
games" Pascual said, referring to Ramos
20 losses last year, 18, 10, 18 and 16 the four
previous seasons. "They forget how much
he pitches"
"Not to defend Calvin" put in by
stander, "but don't you think Ramos ought
to be a better pitcher than he is?"
Pause. Then, Eyes, I think so. Pete,
he don't concentrate. He always try to
throw past the hitters. do that, too,
when am new in the American League.
I learn better"
DESPITE RAMOS 20 LOSSES last sea-
son, Pedro and Camilo between them won
26 of the Twins 10 victories. without the
pair the Minnesota club is nothing. Even
with Pascual and Ramos the Twins are
almost certain to finish in the second di-
vision. For all of Calvin's talk of rebuild
ing, Minnesota lacks a major league de-
fense
"Too many balls to the infield go for
hits" Camilo acknowledged. He shrugged
helplessly.
why do you think the Yankees are
going to win by go games this year?" asked
newspaperman, joshingly.
II didn't say that" Pascual protested.
Sixty games"
I'm just kiddin'," said the other But
you do expect the Yankees to win, don't
you?"
Camilo reflected for moment. Then
he gave an answer worthy of Bucky Harris,
his first big league manager.
Il say they have chance" he said,
dryly.

LAWRENCE, Kans., Mar. l
(AP).-Bert Coan, outstanding
halfback for the 1860 Kansas
football team, yesterday was
declared ineligible by a uni
versity committee for further
amateur competition.
The action was taken by
the schools senate committee
on eligibility to student actiV-
tiles. The committee is made
up of Dean of Students L.aur-
ence C. Woodruff and six fac
ulty members.
Speculation m m e dia tely
arose that Coan, a Pasadena,
Tex, native, would sign a pro-
fessional contract with the San
Diego Charges of the American
Football League. He also is
on the draft list of the Wash

Five Pitchers Ailing
Five pitchers were being
treated after cutting short
workouts, Tom Cheney for a
recurring back ailment, Dave
Iyriver for a sprained ankle,
Hector Maestri and John Cab
Ter for sore shoulders, and Roy
Heiser for his swollen knee. In

replied. Since when does the
challenger dictate the terms to
a champion"
Some experts say a Patter-
son-Liston fight in a large out
door arena such as Yankee
Stadium could produce a $2.5
million live gate, with tickets
selling at $100 top.

TeleP PfompTer, which handles

that he could line up is mil

average of SIS a head. On top
of this would be, returns from

If the bolt hadaa 81 million

estimate - Liston's paycheck
under the proposed deal would
bring him 25,O00.4
The most he ever received
for a fight was the SIS, 900
he got for knocking out Ger
many's Albert Westphal in
Philadelphia December 4. This
was half of the electronic
double header in which Pat
terson stopped Tom McNeeley,
jr., of Boston in Toronto.
No Set Rule
While a 1920 breakdown for
champion and challenger has
been customary, there is no
set rule on that point. Gene
Fullmer received only 1919 per
cent in January. 1857. when
he wrested the -middleweight
championship from Sugar Ray
Robinson.
Liston said Patterson wants
SIS per cent plus the right to
call the shots for a second
fight if it materialzes,
EI don't mind d 1880 split
with Bolan getting 40 per cent, "
Liston said. "They want to
control the return fight in the
same way as the first. They
want to name the site, pro-
moter, everything"
Reminded that he once said
he would fight Patterson for
nothing, Liston said:
II said I'd fight him for
nothing in the gym! But If a
million people are going to be
watching, 1 want to get paid.

States extended fall meeting
finally ends next Wednesday
The following day buses will
operate daily from the Phila-
delphia area to Pimlico for the
balance of the Maryland Jockey
Club meeting which runs
through December IS.
For the past five years. with
the exception of 1857, Pimlico
has enjoyed banner meetings in
the late fall. But this season,
Garden State, running an extra
80 days for a State-ordered
storm relief program, has hurt
the gate and betting here dras-
tically.
Betting is averaging about
$4,000 for the first half of
the current 28-day meeting,
nearly 20 per cent below last
year. 1t could have been even
worse if the weather had not
been so delightful.
Now, as the meeting moves
into its December dates, the
weather will be the deciding
factor If the betting deficit is
to be cut down to any extent.
Past weather performances
in the late fall favor Pimlico
Since 1857, when Pimlicc

there have been only sever
cancellations due to snow. Five
