Hutchinson
Beats Traffic
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)?
Fred Hutchinson, manager of the
St. Louis Cardinals, has the traf
fic problem licked. Once a week
he flys home to Bradenton which
is about 34 miles south.
"I walk across the street and
catch a plane for $5," says Hutch
inson. "i get home in only a few
minutes and it's less expensive
than taking the car over the Sun
shine Skyway. The Skyway is
$1.75 each way and then you have
to buy gasolina and then battle
the traffic."
Hutchinson is a year-round Brad
enton resident.
Muscle Building Exercises
Put Punch In Kaline'sBat
By FRANK ECK
AP Newafeatures Sports Editor
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) ? A1
Kaline, the youngest ever to lead
the American League fn hitting,
did it all by himself.
Nobody ever told him how to
swing a bat and nobcdy probably
ever will.
The thought has been advanced
that added weight over the 1954
season gave Kaline the power that
moved the $32,000 bonus right
fielder of the Detroit Tigers from
.276 to .340 and from four home
runs to 27. He only grins at that
reasoning.
"Nobody really helped my hit
ting," says the modest 21-year-old
right-handed slugger from Balti
more. "X was always a good hitter.
Even in high school I hit above
.300."
Didn't Ted Williams help his
hitting?
~ "No!" replies Kaline. "Williams
suggested I build my arms up and
strengthen my grip with winter
exercises. He used to swing a
heavy bat during the winter and
squeeze a rubber ball. I did these
things and I believe they helped.
I also do pushups from the floor
with my hands. -
"Another thing that helps me is
that 1 never strike out very much.
I generally manage to hit the
ball."
Kaline fanned 57 times In 1955
but that's not much when you con
sider that 09 of his 200 hits were
for extra bases.
Kalfne got off to an amazing
start last spring* hitting .380 after
batting safely in 31 of his first 33
garnet. For 53 games he hit .383.
He had hitting streaks of 15. 14
and 11 games and only once went
four games without a hit.
"Although I had a good jump on
the field I was surprised that I led
both leagues," says Kaline. (Richie
Ashbum of the Phillies paced the
National League with .388.) I was
a bit worried after I was hit in the
elbow by a Frank Sullivan pitch in
Boston on July 31.
"I was looking for a curve ball
and Sullivan threw m? a fast ball
on my fists. I was out three days
(missed one game) and was in a
terrible slump. I had a tough time
getting started again."
Kaline missed only two games
all season as he became the first
second-year man to pace his
league since St. Louis' George
Stone in 1906. Kayne missed a
game after John Kume of Kansas
Citv hit him on SeDt. 3.
Albert William Kaline broke In
to the majors *in late June. 1953
with a bonus contract that will end
this June. He weighed 170 pounds.
He now weighs 182. He's still a
growing boy, and if he ever
reaches 190 pounds the pitchers
had better take cover.
Herrshell Freeman. Cincinnati's
relief pitcher, turned in a 2.15
earned run average during 1955.
