Hes got a lot of good tools, but its just a question of getting him some experience; he hasnt played a lot professionally. Tacoma bound?

The Minnesota catching staff features good-hit, no-field George Mitterwald and good-field, nohit Phil Roof, but Borgmann can do both. iferes what veteran Twins manager Bill Rigney thinks of Borgmann: Were wide open for any newcomers who can By DAN SCHLOSSBERG Herald-News Correspondent ORLANDO, Fla.

For the second straight season, a big-league catcher from New Jersey Is a candidate for the Rookie-of-the-Year award. Earl Williams of Montclair won the 1971 N.L. rookie prize while catching for the Braves. This year, Glenn Borgmann of Paterson, two months shy in pro ball, and hes obviously making his move to the majors rapidly. If he doesnt play on our club this year, I think hell be at Tacoma (AAA).

Glenn takes instruction very well, but of course he had an edge playing for Eddie Stanky in college (University of South Alabama). I dont think anybody knows the game better than Eddie, and he certainly got Glenn started in the right direction. I dont know how close this young man is to the majors, the Twins pilot concluded, but its certainly not far away. Thats for sure. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound righthander came to fhe Twins as their first choice in the secondary phase of the 1971 free-agent draft after winning All-America honors in baseball.

1 He batted .459 for Stankys club, and belted 15 homers, tops among the nations collegians. Signed late After signing June 9, Borgmann joined the Twins Wis consin Rapids club (Class A) and hit .352 with seven home runs in 55 games. He hit three more homers and .257 in 22 contests with Charlotte (AA) later in the year. He was a Florida Instructional League All-Star last fall. "Ive only got a half-year In the minor leagues so I have the feeling theyll try to get me a few more games under my belt before giving me a big-league job, Borgmann rationalized.

But Ive done pretty well in exhibitions so far, both at bat and In the field. Im hitting well and even picked a few guys off base. Borgmann wont be disappointed if he spends 1972 in the minors. Im happy to be here in the big-league camp," he said, and Im trying my best to make the squad, but if I cant make it this year, I hope I caii do it next year. I still need work blocking the ball in the dirt and a few other little things.

As for hitting, Im primarily a fast-ball hitter although I can hit any Bezzosi, Brennan Chatham 4 I AP Wirephoto LOOKS FOR BEST SEASON Detroit Tigers catcher Bill Freehan is looking for his best season In baseball this year.

I try not to guess too much, but I do it once in awhile. Everybody docs." Borgmann said the biggest transition from college to pro. ball was learning to play at night. "Some parks I played in last year at the Class A level had lights that were so bad it was like playing under the street lights in Paterson, he recalled. In college, wo played four or five day games a week, with classes in the middle.

In pro ball, you have to gear yourself up to play every night. Catching every night takes a lot out of you. Bat Is key Judging by Roof's skimpy .214 average of a year ago, and Mitterwalds erratic defensive play, Glenn Borgmann is even money to open the season in Minnesota or at least to join Northerners by mid-season. One reason would be his bat. Hes definitely a power threat, said Rigney of his prize rookie.

And this is especially true in Metropolitan Stadium because the breeze there favors righthand hitters who pull the ball and hes definitely a righthand pull hitter. With Leo Cardenas (18 homers in 71) traded to California, Harmon Killebrew losing his race with Father Time, and the questionable status of some Minnesota rookies, Borgmanns bat could mean much in this year of re-building the championship clubs of 1969 and 1970. His glove wouldnt hurt either. TRAINING CAMP TALES: Earl Williams of Atlanta, losing weight in a hurry, caught five innings of a game against Montreal. It was his spring debut.

The Braves will unveil the big bat of Rico Carty shortly now that the big outfielder has recovered from a sudden in-flamation of his left knee, the same one Carty fractured in December 1970, knocking him out of all of the 1971 season. Carty is counted on to make a complete comeback. Passaic to sign Junior players The Passaic Junior Baseball League will register players Wednesday night and Satur-aay morning.

Taking the puck at the Brick end of the ice Bezzosi sped up the right side cut sharply just before reaching the wall and blasted in the puck past a stunned Larry Clayton.

Brennan, the leading scorer, then began his own exhibition with a neat breakaway taking the puck away from the Brick line, the speedster approached the net. faked right, sidestepped a diving Clayton and flipped in the easy score. Bob Geiger added the third score of the third period and Dan Connor closed out the rout with a score that completely broke the Brick spirits. Connor skated into the crease with a Brick defender on his back and drew out Clayton who also grabbed him. Connor then carried both players and the puck into the net for the final Chatham score.

Chatham Brick 1 Falcons to defend BCSL title SADDLE BROOK Six let-termen return from the Saddle Brook team which won the Bergen County Scholastic League baseball title in the National Division last year including All-League performers Bob Aughey and Pete Righi. Righi, a second baseman, batted closeto .400 last season while Aughey, a catcher, hit over .300 for the Falcons. Coach Mario Alia is counting upon Aughey and Righi to again provide batting strength. Matt Smith (shortstop), outfielder George Bertos and pitchers Phil Presto and Connie Curtin are also back.

Curtin is a hard throwing righthander. Hes a big kid and he can throw hard, Alia said. Presto sat out last year after a fine sophomore season. Hes basically a fast ball pitcher, Alia noted. Leading candidates are third baseman Norm Holz-berg, outfielders John Avento, Jim Triola and Ken Faloto and pitcher Andy Levi.

We have some good hitters in Smith, Righi and Aughey but our pitching is on the question mark side. We should have an adequate defense, Alia added. Alia feels that Leonia and Emerson should afford the threats to Saddle Brook in the league. The Falcons launch their season April 3 against Lodi. All girls between the ages of nine and 13, inclusive, who have not played last year or have not as yet signed up with their team are invited to register.

Motorsport Club of North Jersey will present its Mr. Zips 2nd Trip rally starting from Elmwood Ford, 30 Broadway (Route 4 eastbound), East and is a fine hitter according to his coach.

Junior Mark Fioravanti was an all league first sacker last season and Tessaro is counting heavily upon him to provide stability in the inexperienced infield. The other infield spots are up for grabs at the moment. "Well look new, Tessaro ad-- mits, but we do have an experienced battery in Majanski and Kromanenhock. Becton Were just trying to get a starting lineup together was how coach John Subda as-sesed the outlook at Becton Regional, thus far. Four lattermen are back from last years club which posted a 10-7-2 mark.

Bill Lamy and John Hill both lettered as catchers while third baseman Frank Panella and pitcher-shortstop Al Daniels are also returning. Daniels is probably the best hitter on the squad, Subda said. Hell be in there somewhere for us. Infield candidates include first baseman John Connor; second sacker Larry Jacello; and shortstops Steve Hadrava and Bob Nevelli. Don Schneider, Keith Work and Mike Barone are among those in contention for the outfield berths.

Barone, a righthander, may also do some pitching for the Becton nine. Southpaws John OConnor and Wayne Lauhelli and righty Joe Solomini also figure to see pitching action for Subda. St. Peters sets busy golf slate JERSEY CITY Seven let-termen will be on hand when St. Peters College opens a 14-match golf schedule on March 28 against Newark State in Union.

Coach Jack Reilly begins his fourth season with the Peacocks with a strong nucleus of veterans returnees from a team that posted a 9-6 record last season. The linksmen were 5th in the MECCA Tournament and tied for 12th in the ECAC championship last season. Dennis Guidera and John Weiss figure to be the top two golfers for the Peacocks with returnees Lou LaRocca, Richie Maltzmtnn, Richard Moran, Dan Promin and Tom Luddy supplying good balance. In addition to the fourteen Trial ticipate in the Metropolitan Golf Association Championship at the Richmond County Club in Staten Island on May 12. Inexperience is the word that best describes three area baseball teams in the Bergen County Scholastic League.

Rutherford, Hasbrouck Heights and Becton all figure to field young clubs but each team has a solid veteran or two to provide stability. Rutherford hones to defend its American League title but will have tougnlT opposition as the conference is well-balanced. Hasbrouck Heights and Becton hope to make a run for the honors in the National League. Heres a brief run down of the teams: Rutherford Seven lettermen are returning from the Rutherford squad which won the BCSL American Division title last year but only two of them were- starters on that fine club. Third sacker Butch Hoffman-is back as is pitcher-outfielder Larry Havens.

Hoffman is a fine fielder according to coach John Botti who will be In his first year at the helm for the Bulldogs. He coached the freshman team for five years before getting the top spot. Havens throws righty and bats righty. Hes a fire bailer, Botti said. Pitcher-outfielder Jay Ger-stein, second baseman Tony Alfano, outfielders Bill Edwards and Paul Jackson and utility infielder Gene DeGe-ronimo all lettered last season.

DeGeronimo was set for the third base job but he broke his ankle. He figures to open at either third or shortstop this spring. Promising sophomores include catcher Tom Karausky and southpaw pitcher Frank Goulick. Goulick can also play in the outfield. If we win anything this year it will be because of our pitching, Botti noted.

Rutherford opens its season April 1 against Wood-Ridge at Wood-Ridge. Hasbrouck Heights A bevy of positions are up for grabs at Hasbrouck Heights according to first-year baseball coach John Tessaro. Tessaro, a product of Montclair State College, does have an experienced battery in thrower and he keeps the ball down, Tessaro said. Kromanenhock is an excellent catcher in the field and he also carries a big stick. The youngster is only a junior and figures to come into his own this season.

Captain Tony Colaneri is back and hell probably open in center field. He bats lefty Special to The Herald-News WEST ORANGE Chatham Township unleashed a scoring barrage in the third period scoring four times to rout Brick Township in the finals of the Gordon Cup hockey playoffs, 6-2, at the South Mountain Arena last night. Paced by Robin Brennan and Greg Bezzosi, Chatham, champions of the North Jersey Scholastic Hockey League, became the first team to come back to capture the Cup after losing a match jn the double 1 i i a i it tournament. Chatham had lost an earlier contest to this same Brick squad, 4-1. But last nights game was no contest as Brennan and Bezzosi put on a dazzling display of hockey that completely Garfield to boost The Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League track season has developed into a duel between Hackensack, Englewood and Ridgewood for the past few years.

And on occasion Fair Lawn makes some threatening gestures. This year promises to be more of the same with Hackensack the general favorite and any one of three other clubs making a run for the money. A rundown of the teams: Garfield Garfield won only one duel meet last year and coach Tom Cangialosi obviously is hoping for an improvement. We hope to get out of the cellar at least, said Cangialosi. Leading a list of hopefuls for the Boilermakers are discus thrower Dave Dishuk and Wayne Yoda a high jumper.

Other lettermen who should score some points are Phil Ganz (200), Vic Karcus and Roger Weger in the two-mile and Sal Cusmano in the mile. We have a young squad, said Cangialosi. We hope to improve with each meet. Passaic Valley Frank Pellechia has 14 returnees at Passaic Valley and many of them are underclassmen. The real strength of the team should be in the weights where Farm Knoll and Mike Napoleane have both broken 50 feet.

According to Pellechia two or three other weightmen -are close to that mark. The long jump should be another strong area with Gary Taber and Dennis McIntyre returning. Both have soared 20 -feet. A name to watch could be Roy Shatwell. Only a sophomore Shatwell ran 2:06 half mile as a freshmanand could Englewood.

Last year those two losses cost the Cutters the NNJIL crown. Coach Joe Hausmann has 10 Club of Montclair will sponsor a trip around Manhattan on a Circle Line cruise ship. On its return, the team will practice at Woodman Field. Following the workout, the teams will partake in a covered dish dinner sponsored by the Montclair High Girls Athletic Council. The following morning, the English boys will attend classes and at 4 p.m.

will play against the Mounties. The game will be followed by a farewell party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. George.

After their visit to Jersey, the English team leaves for a social-athletic tour of Baltimore, Md. throttled Bricks hopes of a second upset. Bezzosi, who registered two goals and one assist, was almost a one man force which could be defined as an irres-istable object. After Dennis Davis had given Chatham a 1-0 lead in the first period, Bezzosi amid cheers from the fans of Whatcha gonna do?" skated around a defender and tipped a rising shot which hit the post on a sharp angle and then bounced in. Brick cut the margin when Mike Garber recovered his own rebound, carried it around the back of the net and forced it into the corner before Chatham goalie Scott Anderson could recover from the initial shot.

Then Bezzosi, the No. 2 hopes stock lettermen back and the Cutters figure to be pesky again. Well create some jiavoc again, said Hausmann. We have some pretty good kids coming back. Among the hopefuls are Cal Van Diegesen and Tom Hed-derich in the quarter mile, Both broke 51 seconds least year and Hausmann hopes they can get under 50 before the year is out.

Tom Driscoll returns in the mile. As a sophomore last year Driscoll was clocked in 4:35. Mike Belby, a 2:01 half mil-er, and Cuyler Christenson, a 9:38 two miler, should give the Cutters additional strength in the running events. Add Greg Voskian, a fine shot putter, and the Cutters will be tough again. Wayne Valley.

Wayne Valley is going to spend most of its year getting experience. It is a young club and seems to be just a year away from full maturity. Although the Indians wont get shut out they wont cop a great deal of first places either. A second and third place finish for most of the competitors seems more likely. Leading the list of returnees are Elliot Foster and Ralph Schiano in the weights.

Both are around 45-foot heavers in the shot and hope to reach the 48 foot pinnacle this season. Jim Sawyer is back in the quarter mile relay and Tony Newton could be a consistant winner in the long jump if he comes through with some more 20 foot efforts as last season. Matt Fritz (880) is also back and hes a good one. He finished third in the county meet last year.
