Belinsky Frets
About PiersuII
BY MORRIS sIEGEL

LAS VEGAS NEv, MAR. 26.-Unlike Macy's attitude
toward Gmbes DO Bensky genuinely concerned about
Jim Piersall
Belnsy views Piersal admringly, not comparatively.
He rates him the maximum in the business of being
baseball screwbal b. closing in on the leader Is upset
over Piersalls current behavior
IT never read anything about him any more" BelinsEy
complained. Whats the matterS Is he becoming
squareP"
Belnsky was quietly assured that Persas promise to
play 1t straight was merely spring training campaign
pledge and not to be taken seriously. This boosted
Beinsky's tagging spirits,
He doesn't think there enough characters in base
ball He doesn't want the field to himself either Reflect
ing on the problems Of his friend Piersal, Beinsky
arrived at not too illogical explanation OF PersaPs
recent Boy Scout attitude.
Poor Jim"Bo said softly and sympathetcally what
heluva job he must have trying to be exciting with that
ball club he's on"
BELINsKY's LOVE FOR baseball never will be con-
fused with Ford Tricks Belnsky think Of hundred
other better ways to make living of them requiring
labor. r~'s
As long as he must remain in baseball he prefers to
be with the Angels not because of their personnel but be-
cause Of their location
LOS Angeles is Jungle where they ought to sentence
guys to live" he says "bu like the territory can hide
out away from people who want to poster me all the time
If had the dough I'd live in New York"

y BELINSKY HASN'T BEEN completely successful trying
to avoid his pursuers One hostile process server nabbed
him recently with citation best delivered in private and
not at civic meeting order to appear In court TO
answer charges he quick pitched feminine admrer.
Bill Rigney, Beinskys overseer talked about his No.
project while watching him azly throw batting practice
before Sundays exhibition with the Colts here I'VE feel
that 30 feels he's Of now Rgney said Last year
he didn't"
outwardly, Belinsky might feel like Rigney says he
does but privately gets different impression. This
year far everybody peaches and he says but
s remember last year when they thought was against
them.I don't forget"
II there Is a change in Belinsky his new roommate
Able Pearson probably responsible Hes good for my
morale" Belinsy says HE keeps telling me how good
I am" a
THE LITTLE oUTFIELDER likeps Belinsky's position
on the Angels with his when he broke In at Washing
ton five years ago. "a few soreheads didn't like me- Able
said "hey tried to make tough They did know what
30 going through not bad guy, considering he's
bachelor does what lot Of guys would like to DO
but that's 30. He grows on you"
For 26-year-od with only one year Of major league
experience Bensky enjoys better reputation In Holly
wood than in baseball despite last years nohter This
is the way he wants it to be.
His latest fling is Mamie Van Doren, who reluctantly
departed Palm Springs where the Angels train for night
agho kn6wsss Bsilnaky asks, maybe Mamie and me
WIN make something Of it know she's right gal She's
healthy she doesn't smoke Or drink and she eats that
pollen stuff from bees" s ~
