European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 3, 1962, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and shims 1x9 Short on Power will depend upon defense three Bonus babies at Bressoud carry club Hopes -., of a by Scott balt be 3&? to k-Fjtf Runnel the Boston red sox with the Bat of Jackie Jensen added to the museum Case behind that of Ted Williams will depend on defense More than Ever this season instead of their traditional Fence wrecking. Lack of Power la a problem manager Mike Higgins says of his club that placed Al both in the Amer ican league last year. Chances of Landing a Good Long Ball hitter Are few and far Between but we Hope to improve on last year s  Jensen bowed out this Winter after several retirements Higgins looks to Carroll Hardy or Luclin ton also right handed hitters Tofill Jackie s old not in Rig hulled. Left Leld seems to be in the Capa ble hands of Carl Yastrzemsky one of three Bonus rookies who had a Good year with the sox in 1961. Yastrzemsky closed fast after his batting average had dipped to 219and wound up with a .366 Mark that featured 11 homers. He feel that he is set to have a better sea son now that he knows the pitchers belter. Gary Geiger a Veteran Eft hand cd Batter who is notoriously weak against Southpaw pitching presumably has the Call for Centerfield rigging is much More encouraged about his infield which seems steady at All four Points. We Are More set there than last ales Hope to regain 1960 form my m  ,., Arm holds it Bob Friend. In starting line gets Nat Post ton the senators announced Gray new York sports been hired As the club s relations director. By Jack hand fort Myers. Fla. Appi its Burgh went All the Way in 1961 All the Way from first to sixth. Asa result nobody is asking manager Danny Murtaugh about complacency on the pirate ship this Spring. It looks like a typical National league race said Murtaugh. Whoever finished sixth should Bethe  he paused for the laugh and explained i m jus being funny. We do feel six or seven club shave a. Chance he added. If two key men have a real Good year you can win. If two key men Tail off you can finish  s had subpar Bearc Murtaugh spoke from  years by Dick Groat and Bob Skinner plus the loss of ver non Law due to Arm trouble doomed the pirates last summer Law of course is the key to the pirate Hopes. He worked five innings against so Louis Early Las week. Although touched for four Home runs he reported no Arm trouble. Murtaugh was encouraged. I am optimistic about Law forthe future he Suid i am pretty sure he is going to be All  Only Way he Wilt gel his control Back is by working on the Mound. More Bench strength Skinner has been hitting fairly Well and Groat will hit somewhere Between .280 and .320. We can thave As much bad baseball Luck As we had last year. I think we will be better because we expect la to make it and we have come up with some Young pitchers anymore Bench  the Best of the Nei Pitcher appears to be Bob Veale a 6-foot, 6-Inch lefty who struck out 208 and walked Only 92 last year while running up a 14-11 record at co Lumbus in the International league. Bob Friend Joe Gibbon to Sturdivant Veale and Law prob ably will be the starters. Vinegar end Mizell is a possibility vey Haddix has been assigned to the bullpen with Roy face. How Ever if Diomedes Olivo a 42-year old Rookie from the dominican can do the Job Haddix will be freed for spot starting. Jac Lamabe a right hander from co Lumbus also has impressed As Relief Hope. Smoky Burgess missed some of the Spring games due to stomach trouble but he is Back in Campana ready to catch. Rookie or Lando Mcfarlane up from Ashe Ville with a .301 average will Back up Burgess with Don Leppert Dick Stuart the club s big Home run threat will be on first base with Bill Mazeroski on second Groat at Short and Don Hoak a third. The bucs have three capable Reserve in fielders in Johnny log in coot veal and Dick Schofield. The Outfield will be the , trying to Bounce Back from a disastrous .268, will be Inlet Bill Virdon in Center and Roberto Clemente the 1961 National league batting Champion in right round out the  Clendenon a 6 right handed hitter who can play first base or the Outfield has made the club As a Reserve. If Skinner alters Clendenon will be in left despite the sixth place finish of 61, it would not be smart to under rate the pirates. The big questions Law and that will not be answered for at least another month. Dick Stuart. Homer punch Dick Groat.

Year and now know that we havea Fine second baseman in Chuck. Schilling Higgins say of the Bonus player who made Only Eig Jit errors in 859 chances last year. In addition to Schilling Higgins counts on reliable Frank Malaone at third base Pete Runnels at firsthand de Bressoud at shortstop. All three Are proven veterans Bressoud came to the c us from the Houston Colu in  for shortstop Don Buddin. The latter was Well booed in bos ton. Bressoud a gifted fielder with out much sock had been drafted by Houston from the san Francisco giants where he was a popular player.  Frape cts the pitch no staff is leaded Bydon sen wait and Bill Monbouquette. Schwall called up fro Seattle when the Veteran Toia Brewer injured his shoulder these Are the fifth land indians posted a 15 record and earned the league s Rookie of the year award. Monbouquette starting his fifth Campaign at the Hub wait 14-14. We have High Hopes for our pitching Higgins says. And you can discount that 2 Mark that Tracy Stallard had last year. It marked his first season As starter. A big question Mark standing 6feet, 8 inches. Is Gene Conley. He posted an 11-14 record last season for Boston but is Back from an other season of pro basketball with two questionable hands. The Little Finger on his left hand instill Bent after a fast fight on the Hardwood. The Back right knuckle on his throwing hand was jammed against the boards. But i la be of Conley says. Re material a Good scramble 1 in Amon the kid hurlers for a starting spot although the realistic Higgins de clares i doubt if they Are ready for the majors  the younger men Are Earl Wilson and Dick ra4atz. Both up from Seattle and both hard throwers Bill Macleod Stew Mae Donald Dave Morehead and Dave Busby. None is Over 20.among the time tested pitchers on deck Are Mike Fornieles 9 and Chet Nichols 3. The latter is one of the few left handers on the pitching staff and might yet reach his potential after bouncing around in organized Ball since 1949. The catching seems adequately protected by Russ Nixon and Jim Pagliaroni with big Bob tinman ready to Back them up. Higgins indicates that he would be satisfied with a first division finish this year.
