pire tir te a gripe SB Te a eT = Pe me | Seams WINTER BALL HELPS... By PAUL GARTLAN Written for The Canadian Press CHATHAM (CP) -- Fergusan Jenkins is glad he changed hi« mind about playing baseball in Puerto Rico this winter. © Jenkins, a 23-year-old right- handed pitcher who was born and raised in this southwestern Ontario city, feels he has a good chance of landing a berth with Philadelphia Phillies of the Na- tional League this spring be- cause he played winter ball. "I had two good months of winter ball in Caguas, Puerto Rico," he said. "I've got.my weight down te 205, my arm feels good and my control is improved by at least 80 per cent since last year and 100 per ¢ent over 1964." Jenkins set a league record with an earned run average of 1,24 while winning 10 of Cag- Chatham uas' 33 victories. The record was a major achievement con- sidering the previous best earned run mark, 1.35, was set 10 years earlier by Juan Piz- arro, now with Chicago White Sox of the American League. DIDN'T KNOW IT "T had no idea I had broken Pizarro's record," said: Jenkins, who chalked up six shoutouts and lost three other games on ninth - inning home runs, 'In fact, I didn't realize I was near topping it until some of my team-mates told me after we had completed our final game of the schedule." Jenkins didn't plan on going south this winter. "I'm tired of baseball and I think I'll rest for the winter months," he said last fall. But a week later he changed his mind. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, Februory 17, 1966 9] Jenkins, a six-foot-four Negro, signed with the Phillies in 1962 and has made the usual minor- league stops in such cities as Miami, Fla., Buffalo, Chattan- ooga, Tenn., and Little Rock, Ark He started the 1965 season with Arkansas of the Pacific Coast League and. was brought up by the Phils as a relief pit- cher at the end of the campaign. He got into seven games win- ning two and losing one. GOT RID OF 'SHAKES' "Those seven games helped to get the big-league shakes out of me, and this is important," He reports to spring training Feb. 24. . Phillies manager Gene Mauch has said he needs at least one starting pitcher and two reliev- ers. Jenkins doesn't care where he plays. "My ambition is just to make the team. When the Phils cut down to 95 nlavere T want ta ha one of those 25 left and return to Philly." He feels he has the credentials ~ to stay in the big leagues this season. "T've developed my slider to the point where I can throw it when i get behind a batter, ahead or on a three-and-two pitch," he said. "At the same time I also improved my best pitch, the fast ball, and chang- ing speeds." Before Jenkins left Puerto Rico, his manager at Caguas, Frank Lucchesi, took him aside. "The Phils have received a good report on you and there's no reason why you shouldn't make the team." ; Pitcher Eves Phils 'Names Players WINNIPEG (CP) -- Coach Jackie McLeod of Canada's na- tional hockey team announced the names of 19 players he will take to Europe for five warm games before the 1966 champions hips at Ljubljana, Yugoslavia.
