Sawyer's Remarks Anger Lepcio MIAMI, Fla. (AP) Infielder Ted Lepcio of the Philadelphia Phillies, angry over being classified by Manager Eddie Sawyer as "one of the worst ball players I ever saw," today challenged Sawyer to send him back to the American League. "Or wherever it is bad ball players go," added the 29-year-old Utica, N. native who played eight seasons in the American League with Boston and Detroit before being obtained by the Phillies in a trade last winter. "How can the man (Sawyer) say a thing like that?" Ljpcio shook his head.

"Even if he thought it, what was the point in making that kind of comment?" Lopclo opened the season last year with Boston but later was sent to Detroit. He got off to a late start this spring when he and the Phillies couldn't agree on a contract. Sawyer didn't immediately say anything about Lepcio's comments but some of the Phillies' players decided he was merely trying to shake the team up by arousing Lepcio and some of the veterans such as Harry Anderson and Wally Post.

(AP) Al Lopez, Chicago White Sox manager, is pleased with the play this spring of third baseman Gene Freese, but Eddie Sawyer of the Phillies, who managed him last year, predicts he won't remain in the lineup.

"Freese makes a good (first impression," says Sawyer, who traded Freese to the Sox for rookie outfielder Johnny Callison. "He has all the ability. He's a good hitter and he runs well. He could steal 20 bases with the White Sox but I doubt if he will be in the lineup very long. "Freese has erratic streaks in the field that can drive you crazy," Sawyer continued.

"He can be a butcher and if we hadn't made the trade, he would be in the outfield this year. I just couldn't go through another year watching him," Freese's 23 errors in 1959 were more than any other third baseman in the National League. He batted .868 and hit 23 home runs. He has been outstanding this spring for the Sox. "From everything I heard, I thought Gene had a poor glove," said Lopez.

"But he looks perfectly okay to me."

Tebbetts Envisions Five-Team Fight In National League MILWAUKEE (AP) Birdie Tebbetts' envisions the I960 National League baseball race as a 5-team fight, is much like it was in 1956 when he came close to piloting a determined but understaffed Cincinnati team to the pennant. He sees Milwaukee Braves winning the title this year, however, instead of the Dodgers. It was the Dodgers, then at Brooklyn who took the title in 1956. The Braves finished one game behind in second place and the Reds in third place.

Tebbetts, executive vice president of the Milwaukee club, saic Wednesday on his return from a long scouting trip that "I think we've got the background and experience to win." Birdie said he thought the San Francisco Giants would be the toughest team to beat. Also in contention with the Braves, he said, probably will be the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds "However," he added, "it looks like 1956 all over again, when five teams were in hot contention un til the last two weeks." "I'm afraid of that Pittsburgh club," Tebbetts said, "and tha Cincinnati club looks pretty rug ged, especially if the young pitch ers come through. Tebbetts, who joined the Mil waukee front office staff last year after several years on the fielc directing ball players, said the purpose of his trips to the other major league camps primarily was to get a line on the strength and weakness of the clubs. "I am going to turn in a repor on my findings," he said. "I might help us in knowing how to pitch to some of the rival hitters at least for the first part of the season."

Freese, who had 23 homers last season; is expected to add power to the infield. Part of Same Deal. Minoso camo to the White Sox in part of the same deal that sent Phillips to Cleveland. The White Sox wanted home run and RBI strength in left field. The Indians needed an established third baseman.

In other games Wednesday, the Milwaukee Braves defeated the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in 12 innings at Jacksonville, the St. Louis Car- dinals outdid the Boston Red Sox 13-10 at Scottsdale, the Los Angc- les Dodgers whipped the San Francisco Giants 14-10 at Phoenix, and the Pittsburgh Pirates shaded the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 in 10 innings at Fort Myers.

For those who try to handicap a golf tournament the way they would a horse race, Snead and Nlcklaus are high in favor. Arnold Palmer is the advance favorite at odds of 6-1. The year's leading money winner with and four tournament victories on his belt, the young, bull- like pro from Ligonicr, is the solid pick of most players and spectators.
