In spring training chaos, Boston eyed a designated hitter against Philadelphia but backed off under NL protest. Frank Robinson of the Angels broke a toe climbing into a broadcast booth, sidelining him for weeks. Leo Durocher pulled Houston from a Milner briefing to preserve batting practice. Cepeda appeared briefly as designated hitter before being scratched. Phillies beat Red Sox 6 2 as rookies fueled the win.

Pro Hockey Standings and Players Clash Over Agreement
In Springs California an angry Miller challenged Durocher over the players ratifying their deal with owners saying the matter must be cleared up. Astros and Rangers members met for 12 hours as Miller prepared to explain the pension plan but Durocher interrupted after 25 minutes. The three year pact requires 90 minutes for such meetings on 10 days notice. Rhodes University students in South Africa played squash for 44 hours to raise charity funds.
