Lust for Life
BeIinsky Version
Bv MORRIS SIEGEC

IN THE UNCONfPICATED world Of 30 Belinsky
there only two kinds of people, those who regard him
the greatest discovery since tubeess tres-and the
others.
majority DO reserves special kind Of regard not even
Crazy Guggenheim could confuse with brotherly love-
"I have lust lfe" he smiles, proving it so often
that he is likely to wind up the only player in the his
tory Of organized baseball with favorable chance OF De-
ing fined more money than he earns.
DO was encountered accoSted the eve OF yester
days encounter with the Senator'S an event which did
not weigh heavily his mind, which seems to be on
constant vacation anyway.
HE WAS FAsH1ONABLY dressed not for dining out
in select downtown Washington restaurant but Tor the
beachboy role he prefers His green Alpaca sweater was
set off by sport shirt Uncuffed Stacks hit MS hgn-
topped suede shoes Gorgeous Georges hair syst couldn't
have done more magnificent job with Bos dark locks
Beinsky is lefthanded pitcher who thinks the same
way Money doesn't to bother him, only the lack OF
1t.
"Save money save money that's all my advisers and
NV agents tell me" he complained "How2 On $4,000
year? That's all get. need moren that Tor waking
around money If get to making say $4oUOV tnen
I7isave $4,000"
Anyone who can do that obviously has connection
in Mortimer Caplins office 1t is doubtful If 30 has
Mundane things such income tax probably haven't yet
come to his attention.
30 RECENTLY LOST Albie Pearson a roommate,
clear of the being the winner Pearson not only
served Bos roommate but also amateur pSychatrist
for the Great Mouthpiece of the Angels.
1--WE parted friends" 30 said of the housing divorce
"Abie is a nice guy, but he's room dweer. He's got
scruple 30 grmaced the word itself were repugant
to him.
If Belnsky has complaint against his baseball
it's not extended to his teammates who seem to go on
scoring famine when he pitches, but its the manner IN
which the Angels merchandise him They fail to take ad
vantage of his natural theatrical talents, he means They
try to paint him as handsome serious hard working
dedicated athlete.
No saboteur could undermine their efforts skill
fully or more frequently.
HE ISN'T THE SLIGHTEST disturbed, he insists, about
various reports he will be traded He likes in Los Angeles
and wants stay there but he pedded it's got to be
on his terms, he insists.
Look at it this way" he said: II live in penthouse
apartment and drive Cadillac That's the way it's got to
be If go to another major league team not I'll go back
to the minors and drive an Oldsmobile again."
Last year Commissioner Ford Prick prohibited deal
which would have sent Belnsky to Kansas CITY, town
whose nocturnal facilities would have put Beinsky's
meanderings to their sternest test.
The K C. deal was lot of bunk, he contends you
think they would have snapped for Dan osinsh (now
pitching teammate)? Never Maybe for Siebern, Lumpe
and that Rookie there but not Just for osnsd
Maybe the Angels got desperate for pitching help but they
didn't get crazy"
= BOS APPEAL IS NOT awesome. He's hooed on the
home lot in Los Angeles where he pitched hitter
April and threw girl out of his night later. The
courts are still waiting for play-byplay Of the latter
incident.
They boo me in Los Angeles" he rationalized, "be-
cause in those people out there themselves You
ever live out thereP I'm them and they're mad because
show them up But let m boo"
At q recent baseball writer's dinner in Los Angeles
honorng the Angels Bob Hope conferred his remarks
Belinsky, who found it inconvenient to attend
"If the Angels ever place DO waivers" Hope said,
he'll be claimed by II cocktail Mattresses 30 liked that
Its better than being claimed by Kansas City, amt
ftp"
His logic is faultless
