MEW YORK (/P) AM the New
| York Yankees! errors aren’t
! mlajde on the field despite a gen
eral impression that the only
thing the' front office ever mis
i sed! possibly was a train, which
couldn’t play shortstop anyway
We have a great admiration
for George Weiss, the general
manager, as a judge of pfllayi ng
talent and as a shrewd trader,
;but iwe think he would he the
fi'rst to admit mistakes have
crept into his calculations1 now
and then.
We don’t Ibelieve. for instance
that he would have included
Bill Virdon in the deal for
Enos 'Slaughter in 1954 if he
had realized the potentialities
of the young outfielder. Virdon
came up! through the Yankee
chain, and was considered ex
pendable, inasmuch as the Yan
kee outfield appeared pretty
well set.
Well, Virdon. at recent check
was hitting lalbfbut .258 for the
Cardinals, had knocked in 61
runs, and hit 16 home runs. He
might very well be the Nation
al League Rookie of the Year.
He'd be a pretty handy guy for
Casey Stengel to have around,
even if he didn’t play regularly
The deaf that possibly hurt
the most right now Was that
which sent Jackie Jensen to far
pastures. He went to Washing
ton in 1952 in a multiple-player
transaction in which Irv Noren
appeared to be the key man.
Noren has performed well
for the New York club, but Jen
sen has been even better with
the Red Sox, who acquired him
late in 1963. He is leading the
league in runs batted' in with j
nearly 100„ and generally has
been doing his share to keep
the Boston cluib a contender.
Vic Power is another the Yan
kees probably ’would just as
soon not' mention out loud. He
is another Yankee farm product
who never was given a chance
with the parent club before he
1 was transferred to the Athlet
ics as just a number in another
big deal possibly prompted by
the Yankees’ desire to acquire
Ed Robinson land Harry Byrd,
j Power is playing sensational
, ly at first base for the Kansas
! City cluib, is second in league
hitting at .315, and at a late
look had driven in 61 or So runs
Jim Greengrass plodded thr
ough the Yankee farm system
until he was ready to come up,
when he was shipped to the Cm
cinnaiti Redlegs in the deal in
Which Ewell Blackwell was the
key man.
'Greenghass, although ailing
much of the time this season,
last year hit 27 home runs and
drove in 95. He’d he-^another
handy gtuy for Stengel to have
pineh hitting, if nothing else,
when in good health.
Jim Finigan, a ripe peach
from the Yankee farm, went to
the A’s in the same deal in
which Power was invol ved, and
without wearing a Yankee uni
form. He’s heen playing some
fine second (base for Kansas
City, and although his Jbattimg
average is only about .252 he’s
rapped in 62 runs.

INDIANS DROP CHANCE
TO TAKE LEAGUE LEAD
' by The Associated Press
The Cleveland Indains were
all set to move into first place
yesterday if the Yankees and
Chicago Wlhite Sox should
split, which they did before a
! crowd of 50,990. Buit the Tribe
ran smiack into the red-hot
Washington Senators, who had
just finished jpolishiing otflf the
White Sox in two out of three
games. When the twinbiil was
over, the Indians found them
selves on the sh'ort end of 8-2
and 13-4 scares and in third
place a game iback of the Yan
kees and a half game behind
the White Sox.
The Yankees befelt Chicago
6-1 in the opener on the stren
gth of home runs' by Mickey
Mantle and Yogi Berra, but the
White Sox Came back to win
the nightcap 3-2.
The split moved the Sox into
I second place, a half game back
Meanwhile the Boston Red
Sox took advantage of the top
team’s failure to win and
edged back into the pennant
picture with a 14-2 decision ov
er Kansas City. The triumph
moved them within 3V2 games
of the top. The other American
League game between the Bail- !
timore Orioles and the Tigers!
at Detroit was rained out„
The Milwaukee Braves also!
were just as curious as the In
dians, only their puzzle con- j
cerned t he cellar dwelling Pitts |

M of their last 20 clashes. The!
Pirates rubbed it in good and j
properly yesterday winning a
doubleheader 5-3 and 2-0 While

STARS CAN’T GRAB TOP
SPOT IN PCL TONIGHT
ibiy The Associated Press
Hollywood can’t quite grab
the top spot in the Pacific
Coast league Ifrom Seattle to
night.
But if the Stars win their
game with Los Angeles' they’ll
be a bare thousandth (.001) of
a point behind the Raimi ere,
who are idle. Hollywood took
up a lot of slack yesterday by
beating San Diego twice 6-2
and 3-0, while Seattle dropped
two to Los Angeles 6-5 and 2-1
In other games Sacramento
and San Francisco traded shut
outs. 6-0 for the Salons in the
opener and 3-0 for the Seals.
Oakland took a doubleheader
from Portland 6-4 and1 5-2.
GREAT RACE EXPECTED

CHICAGO i/P) With both

miafcch race at Washington
park to be one of the greatest

Everything wall be even, ex
cept, perhaps, the odds. The
latest on the Caliente book
lists Swaps at 2-5 and Nashua
