Orioles net Richert in bid to back a pennant drive
Baltimore Orioles vice president Harry Dalton swapped young stars Mike Epstein and Frank Bertaina to the Washington Senators for veteran left-hander Pete Richert. Epstein balked at Rochester, seeking a major league chance after minor league honors, while Richert, 27, was hailed as a top lefty by Dalton. The trade aims to bolster Baltimore’s rotation as they chase a second straight American League pennant amid Epstein’s relief at the turn. Belgium and Sweden file entry forms for the Tokyo International University Games in late August, raising the field to 37 nations.
