The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 19

Baltimore, iPednesftcrfi THE SUN SPORTS Wy mi TRIAL SOUGHT BY MARSHALL MARIS EARLY balls. My dad would pitch and my brother and I would take batting practice. I can still remember the fine help I got from Jo Jo White In 1954, my second year In organized baseball. I was a spray hitter my first year in the Cleveland chain. I was playing for Fargo-Moorhead in the Northern League, 33 Home Runs One day the following spring, when Jo Jo (now a Kansas City coach was managing Keokuk in the Three League, he saw me trying to spray the ball around and he said: "Kid, you're too big to be spray ing the ball around like that; why don't you try pulling it?" His ideas and hitting lessons paid off with 32 home runs and 111 runs batted in.

The timing is the big thing In hitting, If you have timing the hitting will lake care of itself. Last summer I tore my rib cage trying to break up a double play, I was going good until then, but when I came back around All-Star game time I had a lough time getting my timing back. When I played American Legion ball I used a bat that must have weighed 35 ounces. Now I use one that's 33 ounces. On certain pitchers I go to the heavier bat.

I've had a lot of help. When you're going bad nobody seems to want to help. When you're going good everybody tries to have a hand in the pic. Lots Of Advice I've had a lot of guys come up to me and say "well, kid, you should be a spray hitter." I've also had a lot of 'em come up and say "You should be pulling the ball." 1 try to listen as much as possible and weigh everything out. Some things go in one ear and out the other.

I remember the days around Fargo, N.D., when we'd get a few kids to shag the National League, and Hubert Bobo, a' linebacker acquired in a winter trade with the San Diego Baltimore Colts before being traded to the Steclers in The Tennessee star was the No. I Chargers, both announced they was assassinated, a San Francisco newspaperman traveling with the Giants got this message from his office: "Get comment from Dominican players on Trujillo assassination." He questioned them diligently and sent the following reply: "They say they didn't do it." San Francisco, July 18 Wl ftufus James Marshall Is the for gotten man in the San Francisco Giants' master plan. At the age of 29, Jim still It, wailing for the great future which appeared to be his seven or eight years ago. In the meantime, he isn making any bones about "hating it on the bench." although he is picking up managerial tips Horn Alvin Dark. Manager's Job In Goal "I want to be a manager some day and I've really learned a lot from Alvin." Marshall says.

"He's really shown me something about how ball games ought to be won. Still, I wish I could break Into that line-up." Jim, who prefers to play first base, is batting .280, virtually all of it compiled as a pinch-hitter. Of his first 25 trips to the plate this season, only two had found him previously in the line-up. And even then, he was a late starter. The regular first-base job belongs to Willie McCovey, whose bat is supposed to make up for fielding deficiencies and several tangiefooted incidents.

Big Willie has his detractors, who claim that the first-base job should go to Marshall or Orlando Cepeda on a full-tune basis. Swift On Base Paths Marshall, a left-hander, is a renowned hustler who gives even most impossible foul flies "the big try." He is swift and sure on the base paths. He also is a power hit ter, although most of his power has been displayed in the Pacific Coast League. Jim goes along with the pos sibility that he may wind up with Houston or the new New York Mcts next season after the Na tional League stocks its two addl tional members. "Actually, I'm not too anxious to leave the Giants, he says.

"And maybe I actually am helping them by being used spar-rinclv. But I'm sure I could do even more if I got that chance to play daily. The husky guy was riding high after 1955, when the Chicago White Sox bought him from the old Oak land Oaks. "I still don't know why Chicago bought me," Marshall says. "They had seven first basemen already." Never quite able to find him self, he batted .215 at Baltimore in 1958, then put in two seasons with the Chicago Cubs.

In 1960, he came to the Giants by way of the Boston Red Sox and batted .237 on a part-time basis.
