Has Good Eye
Jim has the best eye on the
ball club. He led the team in
walks last year, although six
players made more trips to the
plate. He walked SIS times.
In each of his two years with
the Senators, he has hit IL
home runs. He also hit IL for
the Cubs in 1855, and is in
1856.
He hit a homer his first time
at bat this spring. against the
Dodgers at Vero Beach, added
one at Pompano Beach against
the White Sox and barely
missed being the first player to
hit one out Of the Braves
stadium at West Palm Beach.
Jim has a groin injury that
acts up, and a spur on the knee
that slows him down in the
second half of the season, but
he never complains.

The New Zorro Turns
Into Life of Ball Club
BY FRANCIS sTANN

than Aparicio. For a while be concen-
trated on improving his hitting and
he did get up to 280 in 1861 He started
to let his fielding go to pot, taking it for
granted.
I'VE had talk I told him that he
didn't realize what his glove meant to the
club when he bore down. The other YER
sales you couldn't talk TO. The new YER
sales listened; his fielding not only i'm
proved but it became the absolute BEST"
MELE WAS SITTING in the Twins
dugout during an infield drill The shrill
chatter of Zorro was heard above all other
voices. He makes the most fantastic plays
you ever saw" Sam vouched. Hes got a
wonderful pair of hands and a rifle for
an arm.
Last year he began to do things he'd
never done. He'd look to the bench for
instructions. He'd pick up his catcher's
signs to the pitcher and get better Jump
His batting average fell off to PAL, but he
was an even more valuable hitter.
Zorro weighs only $50 pounds, yet he
broke the club record (by club Mele meant
Senators-Twins) for home runs by a short
stop. He hit II, skinny as he is, and that
was three more than Joe Cronin hit in
1890. Cronin was big-framed shortstop.
He could stuff Versailles into his back
pocket. But Zorro hit more homers and
last year he batted in more runs than any
AL shortstop (67), although he hit in the
No. 8 spot"
CALVIN GRIFFITH, the Twins pres
ident who is regarded with new and con-
siderable respect these days, took up the
story Of zorro's metamorphosis. I'VE hit
the Jackpot in 49," Cal volunteered. 'Rich
Rollins at third base and Bernie Allen at
second arrived year ahead Of schedule.
To have one of them beat the timetable
would have been surprising. When both
made good so much earlier 1t was fantastic"
Griffith and Mele rate their infield of
Vic Power, Allen, Versailles and Rollins as
the equal Of any, including the new GENTLE
Adair- Aparicio- Robinson quartet of the
Orioles. ITS at least as good as Balti-
more's and better than the Yankees in
field" Griffith and Mele chorus Look at
the figures" Cal suggested. I'VE led the
league in double plays. Versailles handled
more chances than any shortstop and took
part in l27 DPS, more than any other
infielder, excluding first baseman"
Zorro played 100 games. His previous
high was only 100. Tiger in a cage" he
had told Mele.
The Twins seem more than rich in
talent; they are in the millionaire class.
How come you didn't come up with this
material in Washington" Cal was asked.
Answer: "In Washington we had TO operate
on SIT million season, counting admis-
sions, concessions, parking and everything"
Griffith said. I'm Minneapolis we take in
"a million a season. We pillow lot of
1t back. It's as simple as that"

ORLANDO, FLA, MAR. 2O-A very
unexpected metamorphosis is raising
higher than ever the Minnesota Twins
announced aim to dethrone the Yankees
as American League champions. The turn
about guy is zoilo Versailles, who came up
to the old Washington Senators in 1859 as
no-hit shortstop and what ballplayers
call "flaky."
'The kids nuts" his teammates used
to say, passing brutal judgment. They
regarded his .153 and 1873 batting averages
for the parts of SO and go that he played
as true line on his ability at the plate
zoilo-mostly called Zorro-was given
to alternate bursts of boastfulness and
depression. One day he would claim brashly
to be superior to the kingpin of American
League shortstops, Luis Aparicio. Incl
dentally, Aparicio is the idol of the wiry
little Cuban.
"The next day he would be moody,
sulky communicative" Manager Sam
Mele recalls. HE had more sulky, moody
days than any other kind. Remember how
he disappeared on US once? He ran off to
Cuba without warning. We never knew If
he'd show up at the ball park or not Now
he's different guy"
VERSAILLES ALWAYS HAD great
natural range and instinct But he handi-
capped himself. II could use another word
to describe him." Mele volunteers. "surly.
Now he's the life of the club, whether he's
In the field or pouring it on the other club
from the bench"
versailles was working over a new glove
In the clubhouse and chattering like a
maybe. With large curved needle he
removed the lacing that holds together
the fingers and put 1t back a different
way.
In his broken English he began TO
chide Earl Battey and Bob Allison, never
pausing for breath as he bent over his task.
Whatever you take to make you like
you are" big Battey grunted, "is 1t through
the veins or by mouth2"
"You too mean," little Zorro charged.
"Why you not happy like ~" He began to
chant Calypso, botching up the words.
THE OLD VERSAILLES didn't want to
play" Mele reported. The new Versailles

Mar. 20.-If the major league
baseball season consisted of a
tight little group of teams
within 100 or so miles Of
each other playing from early

a .428 average. is tied for the
most extra base hits, and is
second in walks.
One reason for Jim's fast
start could be that the Senators
have played five games at home
and have gone by bus to their
five on the road. They'll have
Just a short bus hop today as
they open a two-game series

Senators took the day off yes

Bill Cobey, Maryland'S atm
letic director. put an end to
the rumors today and an
nounced that Bud Millikan
would be back as Terp basket
ball coach again next season.
It is somewhat unprecedent-
ed at Maryland for announce
ments to be made that u coach
is being retained. but Cobey
recognized the unusual aspects
this year in making his state
ment.
Because Of some unfounded
rumors we feel 1t is necessary
to announce that Bud Millikan
will continue as our varsity
basketball COACH" Cobey said.
Our fine freshman team
combined with lettermen who
gained a lot of experience dur
ing the last season, should pro-
vide interesting basketball. An
other good freshm an team
should assure our return to the
winning seasons we have en-
joyed in the past.
I'VE are looking forward to
improvement In our basketball
program"
Although the Terps had an
8-13 record this year, their Sec
ond losing season In a row,
Millikan's overall record is 189
victories and 1919 defeats. He
has had 10 winning seasons In
his Is years at Maryland.

tournament started a rash of
rumors that Millikan would be
They popped up again fol-
lowing the NCAA Eastern Re-
gionals here last week end, al
though Cobey previously had
given Millikan a vote of conf
dence in a story carried in The
Star on March 2.
The Terps are banking on a
classy freshman team, which
posted a 14-2 record, to help
them turn the corner.
Millikan says it is the best
frosh team he has had at
Maryland and that as many as
four players could be varsity
starters next season.
In addition to the upcoming
freshman, the Terps retain
three starters, Phil Carlson,
Sam McWilliams and Scott
Ferguson, off their varsity

tons by his adviser. heavy
weight champion Sonny Liston

afternoon.
The commission had ordered
Liston to return by 2 pm.

Nilon made a bitter protest
OF the decision at the hearing
but failed to sway Chairman
Fred Aaronson and other COM
missioners.
Tried 10 Cover Up
Liston took off suddenly for
his home in Chicago, after
weeks Of controversy and con-
flicting statements over his
knee and the state of his
health. Nilon requested the
hearing and asked for an in
definite postponement of the
fight with Patterson.

Liston weighed 214 when he

first round in Chicago last
September.
DR.. Baird said that when
Liston first went TO him, there
was a swelling Of the knee Joint.

ments.
Injury Improved
"T'he injury responded well
to ligament treatment, and /
thought II would be all right for

doctor said.
He worked out three days
and the knee was fine. Then

about 1t again. An examina-
ton showed a thickening Of the

pointed to the possibility Of a
torn cartilage. but I was not
