got bad hand cash when an infielder
stepped on him on a sliding play, and
was hit in the head by Bud Daley of the
Yankees"
Switch again, this time to Cal Ermer
one Of the Orioles scouts. II saw Powell
in the Puerto Rican League this winter"
Cal reports. "He was the best-looking
hitter I've seen in ages in the playoffs.
Got six homers in 10 games in those play
offs-and 16 for 70 games, all told.
"And," Ermer adds needlessly, that's
a rough league for hitters. It's pitchers
league"
MOST BASEBALL MEN are surprised
and impressed by the off-season deals
made by MacPhail. The Orioles picked
up the nifty Luis Aparicio and Smith from
the White sox Catcher Dick Brown from
the Tigers, Pitchers Stu Miller and Mike
Mccormick, plus Catcher John orsino from
the Giants; Pete Burnside and Bob johnson
from the Senators, and Gaines, who led
the Puerto Rican League in hitting.
Hitchcocks eyes twinkle when he is
told Of the reaction Of other qualified base
ball observers. Bucky Harris, for exam
pie, thinks the Orioles now move ahead Of
the Tigers as challengers).
II think we did all right" Billy agrees.
when I hear people say we've got the
best infield, in baseball I have to believe
It, Having Barber right from the start
and his mononucleosis cleared up-has got
to help"
Barber was In camp a year ago while
on leave from the Army. Then he pitched
ON week ends. HE had his condition for
a month";" Billy reminds. HE won four Of
his first five games. The one he lost was
when 30 Belinsky pitched a no-hitter
against us. But then he lost his rhythm
and good edge and lost three straight"
UNDER RICHARDS THE Orioles battled
the Yankees evenly until disastrous four
game series in New York in September,
1860, The next year they finished third.
Last season they never rose higher than
fourth place at any time.
I'VE couldn't beat the Tigers" Billy
confesses. you'd think II would be i'm
possible for Detroit to beat us 10 out OF 10
games. But every time we played the
Tigers our pitching went bad, or we didn't
hit Burning beat US four times. SO did
Aguirre. Mossi licked us three times.

Yankees II times out OF IS. How do you

The expanded strike zone,
stirring more talk about anat-
omy than a Jayne Mansfield
pinup. will be unveiled Of
ficially tomorrow when major
league baseball's 20 teams begin
the exhibition season with all
eyes riveted on the umpires.
1t will be the usually omni-
present but inconspicuous men
in blue who will be the de-
terming factor on what area
Of the body from the knees to
the shoulders or thorax the
enlarged zone actually covers.
The world champion Yankees
will try out the new area at
their Fort Lauderdale (Fla.)
home base against the Orioles,
while the National League
champions, the Giants, take
their anatomy lesson in a
game against the Indians at
Tucson, Ariz.
Lineup Of Games
The other teams get under
way with these matchups: Reds
VS.. Whte Sox, Senators VS..
Dodgers, Athletics VS.. Braves,
Nets VS.. Cardinals, Pirates VS..
Phillies, Red Sox VS.. Cubs,
Colts VS.. Angels and Tigers VS..
Twins.
The change in the strike zone
increases the vertical area but
leaves the width untouched.
That remains at II inches-the
width Of home plate. However,
the zone has been lifted and
lowered. Maximum height now
extends to the top of the shoul-
derS-or it may be the thorax
instead Of the armpits. The
low point has been moved from
the top OF the knee to the
bottom.

MIAMI, MAR. 8.-For Billy Hitchcock
1t was a trying rookie season as a big
league manager in 1862. The old C4s)
Auburn athlete had taken over the Orioles,
who had been prime pennant contenders
in 80 and 81, and finished 10 games be-
hind. the Yankees, tied with the Red Sox
for seventh place.
In Baltimore fans were bowling for
his scalp. For time it seemed to be
touch and go. Finally, Lee MacPhail, the
general manager, reappointed Billy. But
as he did so, he also hired two potential
managers as coaches. One was Hank
Bauer, who was pilot Of the Athletics a
year ago. The other was Luke Appling,
who managed Indianapolis to the Amer
lean Association flag in 49,
Paul Richards, who detected to Hous-
ton of the National League, was the man
whom Hitchcock replaced 1t wasn't an
enviable Job that Billy took. Repeated
comparisons we're inevitable. Hitchcock
says he knew what faced him.
when took the job I recognized the
risks involved" Billy admits. 81 knew I
was stepping into big mans shoes. I
regard Paul Richards as the finest baseball
man in the game. I could never try to be
another Richards He had his own way
Of doing things"
RICHARDS WAS MUCH respected, but
not highly popular with the majority Of
his players. He was a cold, relentless
driver, q perfectionist. He held his troops
at arms length. Hitchcock gave the
Orioles more leeway. They all call him
Billy, or at least the veterans do. Could
he have been too easygoing2
I'm an entirely different personality
than Richards" he points out. II had to
do things my own way. Obviously, was
disappointed by our finish. Maybe in some
ways was too easy and some players may
have taken advantage OF me-"
We pause for a moment to switch TO
Nit Pappas, one Of the Orioles good
pitchers.
1T wasn't anything but one OF those
years when nothing seemed 10 20 right"
Pappas insists. Steve Barber was In the
Army last spring. ! underwent an appen-
dectomy, although didn't miss my regular
season turn. Later, after Barber was
sprung, he came down with mononucleosis.
Boog Powell got hurt half dozen times.
Jack Fisher (now with the Giants) had a
bad shoulder. Ron Hansen broke finger"
DO the players feel they could win
the pennant2" Pappas was asked.
They most certainly do" he replied.

THIS is THE FIRST TIME. so far as
know, that Baltimore team has reported
10 spring training with an outfield that's
more or less set" Hitchcock volunteers.
