NEW YORK (IP)—Tempus fugit or, as it is loosely
translated, time’s a wastin’ for a lot of the old baseball
heroes for whom 1955 may be the last time around under
the big top.
A harried handful already have come to the end of
the competitive road since last season. They are Allie
Reynolds of the Yankees, Cass Michaels of the White Sox,
Preacher Roe of Brooklyn, Connie Marrero of Washington
and Alpha Brazle, just released by the White Sox.
There are a dozen others who possibly could call it
quits, by choice or demand, after one more spin of the
wheel. -a
YANKEES COUNT FOUR ~
The club with the major claim to “Darling, I Am
Growing Older” as a theme song is the New York Yan
kees. Action beyond this year is risky by varying
for such as Johnny Sain, Country Slaughter, Ed Lopat
and Phil Rizzuto.
Slaughter, who now allegedly is 38 after having been
39 last year, played in only 69 games layt season. Sain
was kept in action two straight seasons as the Yanks made
a deal with his auto agency. The tiny Rizzuto reached the
majors in the first place primarily because of his fire and
speed, but at 36 there are clinkers in the furnace and a
grinding in the speedometer. Lopat may go on forever,
but you never know.
Ellis Kinder of the Red Sox will be 41 in July, which is
on the far side of the hill. Maybe you don’t cheer his 8-8
relief record last season but you have to admire his
honesty.
Then there are two ex-managers Phil Cavaretta of the
Cubs and Eddie Joost of the A’s, who are trying to come
back with the White Sox and Red Sox, respectively.
ROBIE SLOWING DOWN"
Over in the National Lspgue, Jackie Robinson at 36
is waiting for his legs to tell him whether this will be the
end of the road.
What happens to his teammate, Pee Wee Reese, de
pends on how the Dodgers go this year. If they win t-he
pennant, Pee Wee figures to keep playing. If they lose,
Walt Alston may have had it as manager. Reese would be
the obvious choice to succeed him.
A year-to-year risk is Sal Maglie of, the Giants. The
Barber long has had an ailing back arid confesses that
each pitch might be his last. At 28, he’s getting close to
that time anyhow. Two others on the trembling brink are
40-year-old Walker Cooper of the Cubs, who caught only
71 games last year year with the Pirates and Cubs, aijd
Murry Dickson of the Phils. He’s 38 and if he unluckily

Richards Rebuilding
The Baltimore Orioles
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. OP)
Paul Richards is rebuilding the
Baltimore Orioles from the bottom
up with a mass turnover of play
ers, and he hopes to finish in the
first division. It appears he may
be among too high although he
declares confidently that "we’ll fin
ish in the middle of the pack.”
He is going to out-platoon Casey
Stengel of the Yankees this season,
’Using two different playiers at
every position except right field
and catcher. The veteran Gene
Woodling will play right field
against all comers. Otherwise, the
opposing pitcher will decide Rich
ards’ lineup. /
When left-handers go against
the Orioles, it will be Gus Triandos
at first; Billy Cox, the former star
third baseman of the Dodgers, at
second; Willie Miranda, a switch
hitter at short; and one of two
veterans, Vein Stephens or Bob
Kennedy at third.
CASTOFFS GLITTER LINEUP
Against right-handers, Eddie
Waitkus will take over at first;
Bobby Young at second; Cox- at
short and either the veteran John
ny Pesky or rookie Don Leppert
at third.
In the outfield it will be Hoot
Evers and Gil Coan alternating in
left and Cal Abrams and Chuck
Diering in center. All four are ma
jor league castoffs. Evers and Die
ring will go against southpaw
pitching, Coan and Abrams, who
hit .293 for the Orioles last season
after they picked him up from the
Pirates, against righties.
Hal Smith will be the No. 1
catcher, with two veterans, Matt
Batts and Les Moss, in reserve.
Smith hit .350 at Columbus last
season and has a chance to become
dne of the outstanding catchers
in the league.
KUZAVA IN RELIEF
Three pitchers- obtained from the
Yankdte M-WJim- McDonald 4-1,
