BASEBALL BEAT

DAYTONA B BEACH, Fla,
April GA year ago at the end
of spring training the Senators
were hoping to climb out Of the
cellar because they were strong
er up the middle, but that's a
forgotten theme this year. You
never know from one day to the
next what the middle will be
composed of.
New faces is the theme this
year, so many new faces that
Chuck Hinton is the only
holdover in the starting lineup
In the spring the baseball
writers spend leisure pre-game
moments picking each others
brains, If you'll pardon the ex-
preston, and naturally one of
the questions is where will your
club finish this year?
The New York, Detroit and
Minneapolis writers all say on
top, and the Chicago scribes
have hopes, but the poor Wash
ington followers family say
I'VE hope to get out Of the
cellar"
The usual response is "Who
are you going to beat?" And
that's a good question. Some
body mentions Kansas City,
and somebody else will be a
killjoy and mention the AS in
field, Norm Seibern at first,
Jerry Lunpe at second, Dick
Howser at short and Ed Charles
at third. Plus Ed Rakow, Dave
Wickersham and Many XII
minez.
And you hope to beat Kan
sas City," they say. So in de-
tense a cropping hopeful in the
Senators camp will mention
maybe Boston or Cleveland,
and the visiting writers laugh
and laugh. They point out
both will be stronger, and how
can the Senators hope to COM
pete with the Red Sox and In
dians2
But one of these days the
Senators are going to beat out
somebody, maybe this year.
There's more respect for this
ball club.

Rudolph Says
He'sFitA After
Last Workout

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla,
April 6-Don Rudolph of the
Senators worked up a sweat
pitching batting practice today
and said he was fit for Mon
days opening day pitching as
signment against the Orioles.
Jim Gentle will be the only
lefthanded hitter in the Balti-
more lineup except for the
pitcher If Joe Gaines is in
right in place of Boog Powell.
However the lefthanded Ru-
dolph is not concerned.
I'm fact. Powell got two hits
off me the other day." Don
said. This right-left business
doesn't mean much to me, be-
cause I get righthanderS out
better than lefthanders."
Don said he is thankful for
the opportunity to pitch and
said his own big mouth, a
couple Of sore arms, and three
or four pretty good outings
were responsible.
II popped off by saying I
was going to pitch the opener
and win 20 games" Don said.
81 figured the job was between
Tom Cheney. Dave Stenhouse,
Claude Osteen and myself. But
Cheney had some tough luck
and Stenhouse had a sore arm,
and I guess I won it by ELI
limitation"
Rudolph has never pitched
an opening game in any league.
This is his fourth trip north
with q major league club-two
with the White Sox and one
with the Indians prior to this
year.
The opener could be a quick
lie. Rudolph Is the fastest
pitcher in the American League
and Steve Barber, his OPP
ponent, is not a dawdler.
Don doesn't anticipate any
hitters stepping out on him.
II never quick-pitch a hit
ter" Rudy said. Maybe one
or two win step out on me,
but nobody on the Baltimore
club that I know Of"
Don's wife and young daugh-
ter and his mother and father
will be there. plus other rela-
tives from Baltimore.

While retiring nine straight
batters he faced, the 41-year-
old SPAIN trimmed his Grape

age to 1877.
SPAIN, Bob Hendley and

limit the Yankees to six hits.
Hendley surrendered the run

A two-run triple by Mack

tice you might have missed a
deal. Last spring the Senators
apparently were under orders
not to spend any money, and
they didn't.
Nobody is talking prices, but
since the team reported to
Pompano Beach it must have
spent 100000 in signing Tom
Brown, and buying Jim Bron-
stad from the Yankees, Larry
Osborne and Ron Kline from
the Tigers and Minnie Minoso
from the Cardinals.
That would only tie a $4,000
average. and 1t is known that
a couple Of those players cost
more than that, and a coupld
came for less.
There was a different atmos-
phere this year. Two batting
cages and bazooka, and two
additional coaches for a month.
George Selkirk had the fore
sight to hire Bucky Harris, and
the responsibility made Bucky
a younger and healthier man.
Selkirk, Harris and Jack Shee-
han, the chief scout, had con-
ferenceS and between the three
of them they saw a different
game in Florida each day.
The respones from Washing
ton over the signing of Brown
grew as the University of Mary
land product from Silver Spring
gave the Senat RS a lift.
The day he was signed some
body asked Mickey Vernon if
Tom was going direct to the
Senators farm at Pensacola.

to have a look at him." Mickey
said. Brown was Just another
college boy to the Senators
manager. who had never met
him, or seen him play.
II understand he can play

Mickey said. Tom also was a
stranger to Selkirk, who waited
until the youngster had an idle
moment his second day in camp
and introduced himself.
