By LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sports Writer) WEST PALM BEACH, OP) Bouclreau is counting on a comeback by LiUlo Bobby Shantz and a new spirit to get his Kansas City Athletics out of the American league cellar. He admits, however, that he could be wrong on both counts. The pint-sized Shantz won only one game last year, hurting his shoulder in the opener against the Boston Red Sox. The year before that same shoulder ailment sidelined him much of the season and he wound up with a 5-9 record, a far cry from the 24 victories he scored in 1952.

Shantz has been taking it easy this spring and so far reports his shoulder feels fine. "If he could come back far enough to win 10 games I'd be satisfied," Boudreau said, "That give us a big lift." As to the new spirit, Boudreau said he never has managed a club which "has given me more cooperation and spirit than this one." "I think it's going 1o mean a Jot to the players to get out of Philadelphia," he 1 a ined. "After all, most of them were all but booed ont of the park there last season. "Now they know they have the enthusiasm of the Kansas City fans and that could mean a lot, for I know my players will go all out. "So I figure that spirit and the enthusiasm of the fans should add five to 10 games in the win column." Boudreau, who is taking over a last place club for the first time in his major league managerial career, has no first division hopes.

"I'll be satisfied to get out of the cellar," he said, "For I realize we have a tremendous rebuilding job ahead of us." Shantz, Kellner, another lefty disappointed last season with a 6-17 record, and Arnold Portocarrero, who won nine games while losing 18 but is regarded as one of the most promising right handers in the league, will form the nucleus of the staff. Behind them, Boudreau has high hopes for two draftees, Cloyd Boyer, the former Cardinal who won only two games at Columbus; and Arthur Ceccarelli, a 15-game winner with Birmingham. For relief he is banking on John Dixon, who won only one game with the Senators but went on to win five for the Athletics after being traded, as his No. 1 man. Other relief possibilities are Ed Burtschy, 5-4 with the A's last season; rookie Ozzie Van- brabant, who won only three at Ottawa; and Robert Spicer, a southpaw up from Los Angeles where he registered 13 triumphs.

Robert Trice, who asked to be sent to the minors last year he did not think he was ready for the big time, is- back for another shot and the Negro right bander may make it, although he won only four games with Ottawa. Before he asked to be sent down, however, he won seven for the A's. Possible Starters Holdovers Charles Bishop (46); Marian Fricano (5-11); John Gray (3-12) and Art Dittmer (14) are other possible starters. So are William Oster and. Harold Reather, two rookies.

Wilmer Shantz, brother of Bobby, and Joe Astrpth will share catching duties with Al the No. 3 man if he recovers from a sore arm. Otherwise, rookie Eric McKenzie, just out of service, will move in. To get more left handed hitting in his lineup, Boudreau shifted outfielder Vic Power to first base and first baseman Louis Limmer to the outfield. Power is battling Don Bollweg for the first base job.

Spook Jacobs and rookie Hector Lopez are leading candidates for second base with Joe DeMae- stri at short and Jim Finigan, who hit .301 in his rookie season last year, at third. For infield reserve duty there will be the veteran Pete Suder and -either Harold Sevan, a rookie, or Jack Lit- trcll, a good glove man. Gus Zernial in left is the only outfielder sure of regular duty and he must beat out two rookies, Joe Taylor, a .318 hitter at Ottawa last season, and Al Pinkston, a big, rangy Negro who can hit a long ball. The veteran Elmer Valo and Bill Wilson are fighting for the center field job and Mill Renha and Limmer for the right field berth.
