Everything but the pitching staff was set Tuesday for the Lincoln Chiefs. Skipper Ira Hutchinson completed his labors with the selection of 6 more players. They are outfielders Paul Higgs and Dean Look, infielders Monte Bond and Julio Duran and catchers Ken Eeles and Dave Chitkowski. These players join outfielders Gene Duffy and Pug Williamson, second baseman Al Weis and first baseman Gary Johnson.

Hutch got his final look as Lincoln won a 3-1 pitching battle from Idaho Falls of the Pioneer League. Lincoln's skipper will probably bring 10 pitchers north with him. Few Additions White Sox Farm Director Glen Miller said there might be a few additions to the Chiefs' roster shortly after the beginning of the season. Here is a rundown on newest additions to the roster: Paul Higgs--Hit 282 for Clinton of the i League last year. He is 5-11, 168 pounds.

This was the way habitu- ees of the Pointview Grill showed what they felt about the trade in which Lane, Cleveland Indians' general manager, a slugger Rocky Colavito to Detroit for Harvey Kuenn. Gordon backed Lane up on his decision to trade the popular Colavito. While fans protested bitterly against Sunday's Colavito-Kuenn deal. Lane drew little criticism for Monday's trade of southpaw Herb Score to the Chicago White Sox for righthand hurler Barry Latman. The sports department of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, swamped Sunday with telephone calls, said the early callers opposed the Cola- yito-Kuenn trade by 9 to 1.

This ratio changed Monday to 4-1. On the Herb Score trade, callers favored the swap by a ratio of 3 to 1. Robert S.
