TNI MONTI StaVKT By The Associated Press Norm Laiker hit 323 last season and missed the National League flatting title by two points This spring his first base post with the Los Angeles Dodgers may be In jeopardy The Dodgers are seeking power Larker is a singles hitter me surprise could be Tom Harkness a good looking first baseman up from Atlanta's Southern Assn champions A left-handed slugger he hit 28 home runs and drove In 111 tallies He barely missed winning league honors in both departments little chance that Pel' tUcbcrt 2Q will make the strong Dodger pitching staff but he wip bear watching The Floral Park southpaw was top rookie pitcher in the SA with a 19 9 mark He set a new league strikeout record fanning 251 batters in 225 innings Jim McManus with 32 homers for Shreveport could make it with Kansas City He hit 304 and drove home U7 runs Cliff Cook hit only 208 in 54 Cincinnati games but off his 19 homers and 310 mark in 104-Nashville games the Reds are by no means giving up on the third baseman Other likely stars from the SA include Ron Nischwitz 23 Birmingham southpaw with a 14 7 mark and whose 2 31 earned run record paced the circuit Also second baseman Chet Boak (Shreveport to Washington) shortstop Dick Howser who hit 338 at Shreveport and is on the Kansas City roster and center fielder Jay Hankins who hit 300 at Shreveport and Is also on the KC list Dave Wickersham could help relief pitching He appeared in 69 game at Shreveport and had a 10-7 mark Detroit is bringing up three pitchers from Birmingham Thev are Wyman Carey 24 a southpaw with a 14-14 record Terry Fox 25 who was 4-5 and Joe Grzenda 23! of Scranton Pa who was 7-6 -u emon on the bases neither is he a slow foot He stole four bases in as many attempts Good Level Swing Maz a right-handed batter with a good level swing and powerful wrists really put consistent wood to the ball the last half of the season From mid-July on thanks to 13-game and 7-game hitting streaks he batted 298 During one 21-game stretch he hit 411 He certainly carried his stick into the World Series The Ohio Valley native hit safely in his first five World Series games batted 320 for the series Shis second homer in the ssic marked the first in history to ever close a World Series When the New York baseball writers voted him the Babe Ruth Award as "the most outstanding World Series player" they picked the right man His was a Ruthian wallop But this year Maz is going for the singles and doubles and a 300 average Maz thinks he can do it even though his career average for 667 games is 266 FIRST Tennessee Ernie Ford left pur hie chases the first ticket to the which tittiy (7) 90800 PEOPLE (7) and McCaba Bruce Glel I hope to do this season ir have a good But he was told you had a good year in 1960 hitting 273 and driving in 64 runs while batting eighth You opened the home season with a borne run and closed the World Series with the big one You hit 13 homers counting two in the Series Going To HU me" Maz continued good year means fulling 300 Maybe then I wouldn't be batting in eighth place I'm just going to hit the ball let's say swing at the ball whore pitched he home runs will drop in for themselves (In 1958 he hit 19 homers) ne'vpr tried to hit honle runs except maybe when the ball and strike count was in my favor In that final World Series game went for broke because the score was tied Had we been behind my job would have been to get on base I first reported to Larry Shepard (now Columbus Ohio manager) at Binghamton in 1954 he asked me hit thd ball out of the park in Albany in batting practice He asked me to do it four times and each time it went out But you know in the 93 games that season (he was then 17) I hit only three homers That taught me not to shoot for the fences as a regular habit Nobody Likes Eighth nobody likes to bat eighth The opposing pitchers give you nothing good because they know the next batter will be the pitcher Batting eighth with two out I've swung at a lot of bad balls trying to get on base so that the pitcher be the first man up next inning No manager likes to begin an inning with his pitcher batting first" However Maz Is
