Still Subbing

Phillips went to spring train
ing with the Giants last year
and played first base for two
weeks In exhibition games while
Orlando Cepeda was a holdout
He has been playing first base
for the Senators while they're
waiting for Rogelio Alvarez to
obtain clearance from Cuba.
He spent the first month of
the season with the Giants,
but when they bought Bob
Nieman for pinch-hitting and
utility duty they sent Phillips
to Tacoma. He made three
pinch-hitting appearances for
the Giants and walked, struck
out and grounded out.
Phillips obviously made more
Of an impression on the play
ers than on the front office.
They voted him a quarter share
of the World Series money

the club for the last month
Of the season received gifts of
only $3.50.
Il understand Harvey Kuenn
and Don Larsen went to bat
for me at the meeting when
they voted on the series shares, ["
Phillips said yesterday.
Il guess it was because I
was a handy man In spring
training. I played first, second,
third base and the outfield,
pitched batting practice and
shagged flies"
Phillips was in the same league
with Alvarez last year, and
while he respects the Senator'S
new first baseman, it's not like
trying to beat out Orlando
Cepeda for the first-base Job.
Dick says he believes he can
give Alvarez a scrap.
Independent Guy
Dick is an independent fell
low. In 1860 he didn't like the
contract that Sacramento Of
fered him. so he quit. Rosey
Ryan, general manager, at
Tacoma. a Giant farm bought
him, and recently Ryan per-
suaded Selkirk to gamble on
Phillips.
Dick started with the Braves
organization. but went into the
service for three years after his
first two seasons In the minors.
When he came back the Braves
were a pretty set club and he
stayed with their farm clubs
until he quit Sacramento. His
best season was 1860. when he
batted .293 with Tacoma. He
hit .270 last year. which was as
points below Alvarez average,
a point Phillips brought out.
The pitchers had the edge in

Ankle Injury
ProIong
Phillips Bid
BY MERRELL wHITTLESEY
Star staff Writer


POMPANO BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 4.-The first major in
jury Of the Senator's spring
training season popped up to-
day when Infielder John
Schaive severely injured his
right ankle in batting practice.
Schaive, who has been
making a strong fight for the
third-base job, was hurt when
he stepped across the plate
while trying to lay down q
squeeze bunt. His foot hit q
hole and the ankle crumpled
under him.
Trainer Tom McKenna said
he did not believe the ankle
was broken. but he ordered
Schaive taken to an X-ray
clinic to make sure. At any
rate the member is badly
sprained.
The third-base Job is con-
Sidered to be wide open, and
the setback is q severe blow
to the 29-year-old Schaive.
The stocky 184-pounder from
Springfield, Ill, batted 1853 in
so games last season. hit six
homers and drove in 20 runs.
Phillips Chances Rise
On the other hand, 1t boosted
the chances of Dick Phillips, a
hustling. versatile candid ate
for a utility job. With the club
short on infielders, he figures
to get a longer look.
Phillips was hitless in three
times at bat yesterday as Eddie
Yost's team defeated the George
Cases, 81, In the Senator'S
first squad game. He said he
is a bit slow getting his bat
around at present, but he
thinks it's Just a matter of
timing.
Phillips realizes he must
make his bid in a hurry. He
is a conditional purchase from
Tacoma Of the Pacific Coast
League. The Senators will re-
turn him If he doesn't make
the grade.
Dick is 81 years old and has
been kicking around the minor
leagues since 1851. except for
three years in the service. He
is a stocky 185-pounder, a.
shade under 6 feet, and re-
portedly can play almost any
position.

It Is well known, to Fidel
