White Sox bid to strengthen weak hitting attack
Sarasota notes find White Sox manager Eddie Stanky lamenting a shrinking team batting average after a poor 1966 showing. He plans improvement through rookie outfielders Walt Williams and Duane Josephson, plus sustained progress from Ken Berry and Tommie Agee, with Pete Ward and Ron Hansen key in the lineup and Smokey Burgess boosting the bench for pinch hitting. Pitching depth and youth could lift Chicago toward form, but success hinges on better hitting from the youngsters and veterans alike.

Houston No Mecca For Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clay has moved to Houston but remains wary of induction into the Army. The Houston draft board notified him to report April 28 at the Houston Induction Center, while his Louisville date of April 11 was redirected after his lawyers filed for transfer. Clay, who has adopted the name Muhammad Ali, had sought an injunction in federal court to block induction, arguing lack of Negro representation on his draft board. He stated that his prayers and life are for Allah and that he would join the war only if it would advance peace and equality for African Americans.
