pleted the transaction by claim
ing Pitcher Jim Bronstad from
the Yankees on waivers.
BronStad, a 26-year-old
Highlander, was signed by the
Yankee organization in 1855,
but has pitched only 20 innings
for the parent team. That was
in 1859, when he had an 0-3
record.
Except for his brief service
with the Yankees, Bronstad has
pitched for Richmond, the
Yankees International League
farm for the last five years,
where his record was Al VIC
tories and 81 defeats. The Vir-
ginians were a second division
team most of those years.
Similar Deal
While McClain now goes to
Richmond, the sale" of Joe
and the planned purchase" of
Bronstad actually amounted
to a player swap similar to last
years maneuvering of Dale
Long for Don Lock.

have the patience to wait for
McClain to develop his knuck-
Ter. Joe famed the first two
Dodgers to face him last Sat-

McClain was 8-18 for the
Senators in 1861 and lost a
number of low-scoring, one
run games. But he was sent to
Syracuse last year after losing
his first four starts. He was
out several weeks with a kidney

Il LAKELAND, FLA, MAR. 21.-Had there
been script it could have been written by
AL Lopez of the White Sox, who is forever
predicting the downfall of the Yankees.
But these words were uttered by another
ex-catcher who manages an American
League club And Bob Scheffing, who calls
the shots for the Detroit Tigers, was ad
libbing.
II think we're going to win it ALL"
Scheffing was announcing this day. IF
we get our share Of the breaks we could

The reporters who had invaded the
Tiger dugout for a brain-picking session,
were impressed. Scheffing is big, good
natured man who is not addicted to care
less boasts. One Of his listeners asked,
'rHave the Yankees gone back?"
"Gone back?" echoed Scheffing, sur
prised. mo, they haven't. In fact, they
ought to be better. But we're better, too,
and so are the Orioles, Twins and Indians"
He shook his head regretfully. "You
know, New York was ripe to be plucked last
year." Bob said. THE trouble was there
wasn't solid club to challenge it."
-
sCHEFFING DID NOT REGARD the
Los Angeles Angels as solid" He respected
Minnesota but realized the Twins didn't
have that starting righthanded pitcher to
team up with Camilo Pascual
"The Yankees didn't have one Of their
good clubs last season." Scheffing ampI-
fled. "Elston Howard wasn't as good a
hitter as he was in 81 Luis Arroyo, who
had been great, was nothing. Roland
Sheldon didn't pitch back to his rookie
season.
They were lucky to come up with Tom
fresh, because Roger Maris fell way off
in runs batted in and homers. Mickey
Mantle did all right when he played, but
don't forget he missed almost 40 games.
Whitley Ford was 1873, instead of asa"
Scheffing paused for effect Then,
slowly and distinctly, he emphasized his
next point.
Mantle is their one big man. without
him the Yankees play 500 ball. Look it up"
AS THE NEW LEADER Of the Tigers In
81, Scheffing was the AIS manager-of-
the-year. He brought the team from sixth

more games d0D than the Yankees did
last year In winning the pennant. But
Bob wasn't a contender for managerial

was out for two months with a fractured

"And. remember, we not only didn't

TWO YEARS AGO the Tigers came up
with two infield rockies, Third Baseman
Steve Boros and Second Baseman Jake
Wood. They Topped as sophomores. Boros
was traded to the Cubs for Pitcher Bob
Anderson.
Il don't know what happened to
Wood" Scheffing said. CAS- early as a year
ago in training camp he was listless.
Couldn't seem to do anything right. 1t was
purely physical, think, because Jake seems
better now and I'm going to look at him
as a shortstop"
Wood lost his job at second base to
Dick McAuliffe. If the Tigers have one de-
partment that won't bear comparison with
those of the Yankees, Orioles and Twins It
is the infield. To shore up third base, De-
troit acquired Bubba Phillips. Cash and
McAuliffe are set, but Scheffing appears
vaguely distrustful of Chico Fernandez at
shortStop.
To this end he has been forced to look
at such possible requirements as Wood and
such well-traveled fringe infielders as Don

MAY WAIT TILL "a
Surgery to SheIve
Liston for Months

MIAMI BEACH, Mar. 81
(AP).-A knee operation will
put Heavyweight Champion
Sonny Liston out of action for
at least six months. He may
not fight again until next year.
The return bout with Floyd
Patterson, which has been
hanging by a thread for sew
eral weeks, was postponed in
definitely last night by the
Miami Boxing Commission af-
ter an official examination re-
vealed damage to the cartilage
in Listens left knee.
ut is our opinion that this
knee should have the benefit
of surgical procedure" said a
report by DR.. A. H. Weiland,
widely known orthopedic sur
geon who made the examina-
ton.
Six Months to Heal
1t would take at least six
months for the knee to heal
after such an operation, DR..
Weiland said. One of Listens
associates said the champion
probably will not schedule a
fight during the remainder of
this year.
When the rematch with Pat
terson will be fought now is
up to Liston. Where it will be is
up to Patterson, who has the
right to name the site for
the return bout.
Quietly, Patterson closed his
Tropical Park training camp
Tuesday night and began an
automobile trip to his home
in New York. His adviser
Julius November, said it would
be a leisurely trip and Patter-
son would stop in several cities
to visit friends, reaching New
York Monday.
Patterson Clay Talked Up
November said Patterson had
given no thought to a future
site for the rematch, nor to
whether he would take on an
other opponent while Liston is
recuperating.
Talk started Immediately OF
a possible match between Pat
terson and the young con-
tender, Cassius Clay.

II don't feel so good" Liston
moaned when he walked out
of DR.. Weiland's office after
the hour long examination
which he had returned from
Chicago to undergo on orders
from the boxing commission.
His knee, originally injured
when he swung a golf club,
apparently was improving when
he hurt it again March 10.
you know how you set the
knee when you're fixing to
throw a left hook" Liston ex-
planned to the doctor. II
slammed a hook into the heavy
bag and my knee popped out
of joint"
Less than two hours after
the examination, a glum Liston
climbed on a plane and re-
turned to his Chicago home.
Before reaching the doctors
office, he had been in good
humor.
In reply to a reporters ques-
ton as TO whether he was
trying to get out Of fighting
Patterson again, he had laughed
loudly and said:
II wouldn't be scared if there
we're lions, tigers and Patter-
son in the ring, and then I
would be scared only for

That was Vernon's error-he
should have left Bonnie in. Tom
Cheney was worse.
BOuIdin Finishes
Cheney pitched two innings
he was scheduled to go four
and he's lucky he wasn't
beheaded. The Yanks hit Dam
iels for distance, including
mighty homers by Pepitone and
Roger Maris, but they hit Che
ney with consistency. Tom gave
up eight runs and seven hits
in the sixth inning, and nine
runs and 10 hits in his two
inning stint. Carl Bouldin fin
ished up, also without distinc-
ton.
Cheney is known to be a solw
starter, which could be the un-
reinstatement of the year. He
has pitched in three games,
gone eight innings and given
up 10 hits, II runs and 10
walks. He undoubtedly has
lost his chance to pitch the
opening game. Daniels had a
couple of fair outings before
yesterday.
With the Senators previously
adding Ron Kline from the
Tigers and now Bronstad. Sell
kirk is showing he is not going

pitching.
Stan Williams, Jim Bouton
and Luis Arroyo pitched for
the Yankees yesterday, giving
UP eight hits and four walks.
BY comparison with Senator'S
hurlers, they should be in the
Hall of Fame.
Top Fielding Play
Tommy Brown singled, was
hit by a pitched ball, grounded
to second and was called out
on a strike slightly over his
head. Even a rookie like Brown
had to say something to Umpire
Bob Stewart about that pitch,
and he did.
Brown made the fielding play

ming, when he made a diving
stab Of Tony Kubek's hot shot
toward rightfield. knocked the
ball down. scrambled to his
feet and threw to Daniels for
the putout. Tom received the
biggest ovation of the day.
Chuck Hinton was the only
Senator with two hits, and Dick
Phillips had the clubs only
extra base hit, a double.
OF the six pitchers who
worked in the two games, only
Carl Middledorf, the 20-year-
old southpaw from Chevy
Chase, hurled with distinction.
Middledorf pitched three hit
less innings in the "B" game,
walking three and tanning
three. And they say he had the
Yankee lefthanded hitters
moaning. Roy Heiser started
and was wild. and Jack Jenkins
finished and apparently had q
kink in his arm. The Senator's

US. POlaris Subs May Show Up In Turkish Ports

WASHINGTON R - US. Po- laris submarines may show up in Turkish ports to give the Turks evidence their Jupiter missiles are being replaced by more modern nuclear power, it was learned Mon day.
 US. officials discussing this pos sibility said that such visits would come after the first US. Polaris missile-firing sub is sent into the Mediterranean Sea around April 1.
 No such demonstration current ly is planned for Italian ports. Italian government leaders, locked in an election battle with Commu- nists and pro-Communists, have disclaimed any intention to base Polaris subs in Italian harbors.
 Normally, Polaris submarines are not paraded into foreign ports. Those patrolling the North Atlantic spend most of their time submerged and appear near land only when touching at the remote Scottish port of Holy Loch where a US. Polaris depot ship is berthed.

Kitchen Math
 And Employment Security Come Out As COulash

JUNEAU tR - Kitchen mathe- matics and employment security came out goulash for the House Labor and Management Committee Monday night
 It came about during an ex- change between Rep. Mike Gravel and Don Dickey, general manager of the State Chamber of Com merce, on a bill to require employ ment security coverage for state employees.
 Dickey was explaining that some employers in stable, year-round businesses were irked at having to pay part of the employment se- curity costs for workers employed in seasonal industry.
 Lets put it this way" Dickey said.
 "You see a guy put one cookie in the cookie jar when he makes his contribution, and take out cookie and a half when it comes time for benefits.
 Well, it doesn't take mathe- nautical mind to figure out that someone is going to have to bake a few extra cookies along the line somewhere.
 Some of the people in stable industry wonder why they have been nominated as the tenders of the hot cookie oven."
 Gravel, proving he wields a mean cookie cutter himself, point ed out that one of the goals of en- ployment security was a stable business condition, and he asked Dickey:

Measure Calls for Sleeperettes On Alaska's Ferries

JUNEAU LR A bill which would appropriate S3OO,00O for the installation of sleeperettes on the Southeast Alaska ferries got an airing before the Senate Finance Committee Monday.
 The measure was introduced by Sen. Howard Bradshaw, chairman of the committee.
 B. E. Lewellen, Director of the Marine Transportation Division, estimated the $300,0O0 would pro- vide funds for the installation of 34 sleeperettes on each of the three ferries to be operated on the Pan- handle run.
 The ferries now carry IA state rooms each.
 Sleeperettes are compact sleeping units, they no not include toilet facilities.
 Lewellen said that if funds were made available now, sleeperettes could be installed on the last of the three ferries to be delivered to the state, the Matanuska.
 He said the Matanuska is sched- uled for delivery on April 30, and if authorization were given for in- stallation of sleeperettes, the de- livery date would have to be de- laved a month.
 In answer to a question by Sen. David Harrison, Lewellen ack- knowledged that in that case, the one ferry would miss one-third of the 1863 tourist season.
 "As I see it," commented Sen Vance Phillips, ''the wise thing to do would be to use them as is this year and add the sleeperettes during the winter layup."
 Lewellen said that could be done but he pointed out that money would have to be appropriated now. Each ship is scheduled for a one-month overhaul each win ter.
 Tt would be my suggestion ' Bradshaw said, that we get this bill passed by the Senate and over to the House and leave it to the experts whether to put the sleeper cites on board now or later"
