If they want to do something for the pitcher, he thinks they should have widened the plate about an inch. The strike zone has been lengthened from the batter's knees to his shoulders.

He's going to have to swing at a pitch he's been used to taking, especially with the bases loaded. It's going to make a big difference in the National League but it's not going to look too different to us in "the American' League. We've always been a high-ball -league. We're used to accepting the high pitch, but those National League guys wait for the ball to come down to the chest.

"Still." reflected Wagner, "since we already had a high strike zone our umpires may readjust their sights even higher and we'll have to swing at pitches up around the ears." Nothing, however, depresses old Wags for very long. Quickly, he decided that the new rule would have no effect on the Angels. "It ain't going to bother our team none," he chuckled. "Our guys are mostly young. They don't know -the strike zone, anyhow.

Leon expects to have another big year because the team depends on his bat. "They're going to push me," he sighs, pretending that he would much rather sit in the dugout and observe as he used to do with the Giants.

Clay Will Beat Jones, Says Welch Manager Suey Welch claims those boos in Pittsburgh -weren't for his fighter Charley Powell, who got. knocked out in three rounds as Cassius Clay promised, but for Clay because of the show "the Mouth" put on in the ring afterward.

Suey claims Powell might have gone over three rounds except for a very bad cut over one eye that required six stitches to close. He says Clay looked real good and was punching hard with' both hands. 'He'll beat Doua Jones said Suey. 'He's too strong jor Jones and he'll have 25 pounds on him in weight." Suey may have misinterpreted the booing. It doesn't look good when these fighters go out so accommodating-ly on Clay's schedule.
