Has Monster Returned
PALM SPRINGS Calif AP Dick Radatz says his form is improving after the Cleveland Indians lost to the California Angels 3 to 1 in spring play. He recalls his peak with the Red Sox in 1963 and 1964 and vows better outings in two or three more appearances. Sonny Siebert allowed two hits in six innings but yielded the decisive bases loaded single in the fifth. The Angels scored in the seventh for an additional run.
