reports after a recent scouting

WXK LOSE OR DRAW
PiersoII-Mets Association
Seems q Fitting One

FOR JIM PIERSALL, the last stop was
his briefest so far in the majors-one sea-
son, plus seven weeks Of this campaign, in a
Senator uniform. This is how 1t goes when
a ballplayer begins putting on a little age,
pulls down a top salary, and works for a
team that must rebuild.
His new connection with the Nets
ought to prove interesting. After seven
years with the Red Sox, three with the In
dians, and his short stint in Washington, he
should have seen everything there is TO see
in baseball. But the Nets weren't born
until 1862, and so he hasn't.
1t might be said, and with good will to-
ward both parties, that Piersall and the
Nets deserve each other. James Anthony
and the incompatible Nets were destined
To join forces some day, like lingo Johans-
son and Floyd Patterson. They could do
each other a lot of good.
Piersall was ready and eager, according
to General Manager George Selkirk, to
move To the Polo Grounds and, later, to the
new park at Flushing Meadows. This is be-
nevable. Jim never was guy TO sit on the
bench, and that was TO have been his fate
with the Senators.
I'm PROUD OF JIM" selkirk said, af-
ter breaking the news TO the outfielder at
d. c. Stadium yesterday afternoon. "He
behaved himself with us this year and was
pleasant TO have around" But this was
mere platitude. Piersall didn't figure in Sell
kinks long-range plans. Nor was he a Sell
hrk-type player In the first place.
Remember you said that didn't"
George said when this observation was
made. But It's a safe one. When Piersall
was holding out last winter, Selkirk could
not have cared less.
Money wasn't a factor" selkirk in
sists. THAT goes for the sale Of Piersall as
well as the salary he drew" jim as is well
known, was the highest-salaried player
among the Senators
I'VE would rather have received rec
ognized player but II was impossible 10 get
one out Of the National League" George
said. "And In the American League there
was no club especially interested In Pier
sail"
HOWEVER, MONEY WAS a factor,
although indirectly so. Neither Gen. Pete
Quesada, last years president, nor James
M Johnston, this years chairman OF the
board, begrudged Plersall his $42500 OF go,
or his slightly slashed pay In 49, Where II
might have mattered was In the attitude Of

who will replace Jim King in
leftfield If Ford pitches.
Gil was In excellent spirits
after his managerial debut, but
in a ball game in which only
two of his runners reach base,
there's not much the manager
can do.
Hodges said he actually felt
like a manager for the first
time when he went to the
mound in the third inning to
remove Claude Osteen, who was
having trouble.
Gil volunteered that he made
a boner In the ninth inning

the last" he said.
When he sent Dick Phillips
to bat fol Jim Duckworth he
thought 1t was the eighth in

Hudson if Jim Coates was
ready in the bullpen. 81 wanted
to play some MORE" Gil said
with a shy laugh.
"As far as managing was
concerned, there wasn't much
I could do except make defen-
sive moves" he said.
Gil said he doubted If Ken
nedy, 81, or Shetrone, "a
would see much action in the
Yankee series. They're both
kids and they'll need a couple
OF days to get their feet or

Duckworth, showing off for
his new boss, took over in the
third inning with runners on
second and third and one out
and held the Orioles scoreless
the rest of the way. 1t was the
longest and most impressive
of his IL appearances this sea-
son.
Hodges also heaped praise
on Robin Roberts, who was
superb as he pitched his first
American League shutout and
retired 81 of the 20 batters
who faced him.
The only baserunner against
Roberts was Ed Brinkman, who
singled sharply to left In the
fourth and doubled down the
third-base line in the sixth.
Hodges said he thought Rob-
erts looked about the same as
he did two years ago, when
Robin was with the Phillies
and Gil was with the Dodgers.
HE hasn't thrown the ball hard
for years." Gil said. "Ee just
makes you hit it,"
Hodges was asked about his
success against Roberts. Il
couldn't do much with him, :"
Gil said. II didn't have many
good days against Robin"
Roberts Fanx Six
Roberts, who beat the Sena-
tors, 6-1, last week, struck out
six, and as usual. did not walk
a batter. He now has walked
three in 68 innings, two of
them Intentionally.
Hodges said he was i'm
pressed with Claude Osteen
even though the Orioles tagged
him for seven hits and six
runs - two Of them unearneo
in 21s innings. Osteen has
been suffering with hay fever
and was laboring.
Before last nights game the
Orioles had an ILL record
against southpaws, but in a
meeting with his coaches yes
terday Hodges decided to 60
with Osteen because he wanted
to preserve the rotation for a

What is illegal trucking?
Common carriers are regu-

that viii provide the general
public adequate service at rea-

preference or discrimination.
Competing with these carriers
are many thousands of I'M

legally these can haul a long

that they can claim to be pri-

A large share of the illegal
traffic is in "buy-and-sell" op-

private carrier since he can
