Athletics Are an Improved Ball Club
By manager Eddie Lopat of the Kansas City Athletics Hillsdale New Jersey. He notes winter trades for power hitters Rocky Colavito and Jim Gentile and younger players gaining big league time. Colavito and Gentile combining for 46 homers should add needed punch. Claimed holdovers, pitching in final weeks of 63, plus Dan Pfister in line for a starter role, and Doc Edwards as catcher, give optimism without pennant talk.
