Narleski Not As Good As Experts Claim
In spring training chatter, talk of trading Ray Narleski to the Indians for Bobby Richardson fades as Kubek becomes Yankee shortstop and Narleski struggles in exhibitions. Giants and Phillies wins push Narleski, while Yankees lose Harry Simpson to a broken wrist and see Skowron heat up. Other scores feature Aaron, Katt, Lindy, and Wehmeier aiding Giants and Pirates in spring action.
