The first spring training pitch thrown by lefty Al Jackson came hurtling back at him and the southpaw tried to bat it down with his glove hand. The result: A hairline fracture of his little finger and Casey Stengel's first crisis of the 1964 season. The injury scratched Jackson from the team Stengel plans to lead to Mexico City for a three day exhibition trip late this week and the crafty old manager wasn't sure how he'd replace Jackson. "I may have to ask Mr. Hook (right-hander Jay Hook) to leave his wife and children and take Jackson's place.

Then again I may ask Selma (rookie Dick Selma) to leave his bride of six weeks," said Stengel. Cupid's rival concluded, "if I can't take Jackson, I may have to take three or four extra men to replace him." That's how many you need to replace a 13- game winner around the Mets.

North Carolina State also turned up the best field goal shooting average, .470 as compared to .469 for both Duke and Wake Forest.

46. 43. 36.6 33.4 TAMPA, Fla. (AP)-Jim Maoney is a young Irishman from Fresno, Calif, with a refreshing sense of humor and a fast ball that makes people call him a 'right-handed Sandy Koufax." Fortunately, Maloney already las learned a basic truth of sports-- never take yourself too seriously. That can come in fiandy for a 23-year-old pitcher, who had a 23-7 record for Cincinnati last year, set a club strikeout high of 265 and tied the major league' record by striking out eight in a row one night at Milwaukee.

"Last year I told the boys 15 games was my goal," Maloney said at Al Lopez Field. "I figured if I won 15 I would have a tremendous year. Well, I had 15 with two months to go so the boys began writing about 25. I had trouble keeping my mind on a little thing like winning No. 16." So what is he shooting at this State.

Rouse, Chicago Rommel thinks modern pitchers iave it much easier in spring training than he did in his heyday with the Philadelphia Athletics, and the ex-umpire sometimes wonders why today's hurlers even go South. I'm a firm believer in a pitcher getting sore," Rommel told a Baltimore Sports Reports Associated meeting Tuesday taped for a local Sunday television show. American League umpire John Stevens also attended, and provided some definite opinions of his own.

"I used to run until I could hardly stand up on the first day of spring training," said Rommel, who now works in the office of Maryland's Gov. J. Milard Tawes. "I expected to be sore and I was. Then I worked myself into shape from Rommel also took exception to the "Iron Mike" pitcher ma chines, saying he thinks batting practice should be pitched by the pitchers.

He took a dim view, too, of current player salaries, recall ing that he won seven games his first year with the A's and the next season. "And when I asked for a $1, 500 raise, -Mr. (Connie) Mack hing you have to learn for yourself. When you're a kid and read all that publicity it's hard remember sometimes." "Break Koufax's record?
