10 THE TERRE HAUTE STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21,1958. Cardinals Blank Phils In Surge Toward Top Birds Win Eleventh Of Last 13 Outings; Giants Whip Redlegs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tiie St. Louis Cardinals, driving toward a contending spot in the National League race, defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 5 to 0, last night for the eleventh victory in their last 13 games, Lindy McDaniel was the winning pitcher. McDaniel allowed the Phillies seven hits and evened his record at 3-3 while the Cardinals resumed their dash from last place to the first division. Lefty Curt Simmons was the loser.

It was his fourth against four victories. The defeat cracked a four game Philadelphia winning streak. Simmons was driven cut of the game in the sixth inning when the Cardinals scored twice to boost their lead to 5 to 0. M'DANIEL and Simmons matched shutout pitching until the fifth inning. Four straight singles by Gene Green, Ken Boyer, Curt Flood and Hal Smith produced two runs.

Flood scored the third run on Dick Schofield's fly ball. Del Ennis singled in the sixth and moved to third when Green doubled. Jim Hearn replaced Simmons. He purposely walked Boyer to load the bases, then passed Flood to force home Ennis. Green scored on a force play.

McDaniel ran into trouble in the ninth when Harry Anderson and Rip Repulski opened the inning with consecutive singles. Granny Hamner grounded to Boyer who stepped on third to force Anderson and pegged to Stan Musial for a double play. Chuck Essegian flied to Green to end the game. The Phillies also threatened when Richie Ashburn opened the sixth with a single. Ted Kazanski forced the speedy centerfielder at second.

With two out, Repulski moved Kazanski to third base with a single. McDaniel ended the inning by getting Hamner to fly out to Green. SAN FRANCISCO'S Giants finally wrenched free from a tie game with an eighth-inning uprising good for two runs and a 4 to 2 victory over Cincinnati's Redlegs. Bonus southpaw Mike McCormick yielded five hits taking his fourth victory in a row. Lefthander Harvey Haddix had held the Giants to six hits up to the eighth but then ran into big trouble.

Jim Davenport beat out a hit and Willie Mays sent him on to third with a double. Hank Sauer, who had homered in the sixth, was walked intentionally and Orlando Cepeda's sacrific fly produced one Giant run. Another marker followed on Daryl Spencer's hard double and Haddix was through for the night. Redleg reliefer Tom Acker snuffed out the rally in a hurry, but Cincinnati could not recoup. McCormick was rarely in trouble and the only time the Redlegs could put two hits together was in the fifth inning.

HADDIX had more difficulty and had to put down an uprising in the fourth when his bad throw to See NATIONAL On Page 12, Column 2 OUT OF Snider, who was the object of a blast by Buzzy Bavasi, Dodger vice president, was reported back in good graces with the club yesterday. Bavasi had accused Snider of being guilty of indifference in face of the outfielder's .225 batting average. The two had a talk after the initial verbal skirmish and reported the matter straightened out.

J. "Buzzy" Bavasi of the Los Angeles Dodgers said today he and Duke Snider have settled their differences. Or have they? A photographer who tried to get the two together for the traditional hatchet-is-buried picture was met with venement refusals. "I talked with the Duke last night," said Bavasi between rubbers of bridge, "and we straightened out our difficulties. I believe we understand each other." "That is all I will have to say on the subject," Bavasi added.

"To me, the matter is closed." the difference when you heat with SINCLAIR OIL HEAT Safe-Clean Dependable Automatic CALL CRawford 5875 nearest Sinclair Supplier SINCLAIR Refining Company REACHED IN the locker room before tonight's game with the Milwaukee Braves, Snider confirmed he talked with Bavasi for an hour last night, and added, "The matter is straightened out." Bavasi had accused Snider of indifference in face of the outfielder's .225 batting average and five R. B. Snider said "Bavasi understands now that my performance wasn't due to my attitude, but to my knee. It's swelled up now, worse than ever. I can't run or hit or do things the way I used to." The Duke said he is awaiting a report on his knee from a physician in Los Angeles and thinks that when the information '-rives he'll be taken out of the lineup for a rest.

The apparent truce first was reported by Lee Scott, the Dodgers' traveling secretary. "They got together last night," said Scott, "and everything is patched up now." The skirmish of syllables began yesterday when Bavasi, obviously netted by the humpty-dumpty performance to date of the biggest batting threat, said Snider should be ashamed of himself. "I CAN'T understand the Duke," Bavasi said. "He has all the talent in the world but he doesn't seem to want to apply it to baseball. Maybe he ought to try something else." Bavasi said he had no thought of trading Snider, perhaps the biggest disappointment of a dis- Cards Get Brosnan From Cubs for Dark In Straight Trade ST.

LOUIS, May sixth-place but rising St. Louis Cardinals reinforced their pitching staff today by acquiring right- handed hurler Jim Brosnan from the Chicago Cubs in return for veteran Shortstop Al Dark. No money changed hands, the Cards' front office reported. The Red Birds said they intend to insert the 28-year-old Brosnan, 3-4, into their pitching rotation immediately. Lindy McDaniel and Vinegar Bend Mizell, two other starters, have had their troubles lately.

The trade was the first major deal engineered by freshman General Manager Bing Devine of the Cardinals. Devine took over the reins from Frank Lane, now G. M. at Cleveland. THE DEAL had been a conversation piece between Cub and Cards' officials for six weeks.

Several times it nearly was made but one side or the other backed down. The 35-year-old Dark, in his thirteenth season as a big leaguer, has been in and out of the Cardinals' lineup this season. Just before the trade Manager Fred Hutchinson had him on the bench in favor of bonus baby Dick Schofield, who covers more ground and has a stronger throwing arm. Dark's last four times at-bat were in pinch-hitting roles and he delivered base hits each time to raise his average to .297 for the young season. In Pittsburgh, where the Cubs opened a series with the Pirates, Chicago Vice President John Holland said Dark will play at third base.

He added: "WE FELT that Alvin could give us the experience on the infield that we need. We feel that he will give us the spark and the feeling of confidence that the club needs right now." Brosnan left Pittsburgh by plane shortly after the trade was announced to join the Cardinals in Philadelphia where they take on the Philadelphia Phillies. Dark, one of (he best hit-and-run men in the game today, came to the Cards from the former New York Giants in 1956 in a multiple- player trade in which he and Red Schoendienst of the Cards were the key men. Schoendienst is now with Milwaukee. Dark, a former halfback at Louisiana State University, batted .285 in his first season with the Cardinals and was instrumental in lifting them into the first division from their seventh-place finish in 1955.

He takes a National League lifetime average of .292 to the Cubs. Last season Dark was one of the sparks that made the Cards a late- season pennant contender. The Cards started dismally but have won 10 times in their last 12 games. Brosnan started in the Cubs' minor league organization in 1947. His big league career mark is 11-14 and includes a 4-1 edge over the Cardinals.

In eight starts this year his 3-4 record showed innings pitched, 18 earned runs, 29 walks and 24 strikeouts for a 3.18 E. R. A.

Wirephoto) Coast Conference Sidesteps Problem Of Rose Bowl Pact PORTLAND, May Pacific Coast Conference sneaked warily up on the Rose Bowl problem today and then tiptoed quietly away, leaving unanswered the question of just who will be eligible for the Bowl bid in 1950. Prof.

Emmett Moore of'Washing- ton State College, conference spokesman, came out of the morning session with a report that "action was all negative." He said nothing taken up at the morning meeting reached the voting stage. DESCRIBING the Rose Bowl situation as an extremely delicate matter, he said no decision for action was reached, and indicated nothing further may be done at the current meeting. U. C. L.

Southern California and California will withdraw from the conference July 1, 1959. The problem is whether to permit these schools to figure in the Rose Bowl picture as participating teams with a share of the revenues. Conference members normally cut up a melon of about $225,000. The matching formula on work for athletes was altered slightly. At present an athlete who spends six hours on campus work a week during his season of competition is paid for 12 hours.

Snider claims he doesn't want to be traded." "I've always made up my mind never to get so mad at a ball player that I'd trade him," was the way Bavasi phrased it. The Duke, still bothered by the left knee he re-injured in an auto accident this Spring, was unaware of the storm swirling about his graving hair until last night. "If he (Bavasi) has a beef," he said, "why doesn't he come to see me about it before talking to some writers. When I have a good left leg again, I'll hit.

Until then, I'll do the best I can. If that's not good enough, then that's too bad." It was shortly after this blast that Bavasi and Snider, one of his highest salaried stars, apparently talked things over and settled their differences. Or did they? THIS WAS changed to a monthly basis of 25 hours of work for 50 hours pay. It was explained that time spent traveling with the team often makes it impossible for boys to complete their weekly work requirements. Scholastic requirements were tightened.

A new rule, effective next Fall, requires an athlete to post a grade point average of at least 1.75 to become eligible for his first year (sophomore) of varsity competition. He must raise this to 1.90 for the second year and to 2.0 for his final season of play. This is based on 4.0 for 3.0 for 2.0 for C. Also starting in the Fall, an athlete must pass 26 semester hours, or 39 quarter hours, between his seasons of competition. The present requirements are 24 semester hours, or 36 quarter hours.

Swinburn. Kentucky Pro's Team Wins Pro-Am at Rea A team headed by Billy Martin, pro from Henderson, won Monday's pro-am tournament at Rea Park. Martin's foursome, which was made up of Bob Fay, Sonny Flowers and John Wrather, finished with 122 points. Low shooters were Flowers with a 71 and Fay with a 75. Bill Harold, a pro at the Evansville Country Club, headed the runner-up team.

Harold helped his team by shooting a six-under par 66, despite a double bogey on No. 17. Ray Swift, a local linksman, shot an 81 on Harold's team, which finished with points. Ray Gentry, another Evansville pro, headed the third place team that finished with points. Dick Murray, a member of Indiana State's golf team, played on the team and carded a 77.

Tigers Put Wehmeier On Disabled List DETROIT, May Detroit Tigers today placed Pitcher Herman Wehmeier on the 30-day disabled list. The 31-year-old right-hander was purchased from the St. Louis Cardi nals about two weeks ago. Tiger General Manager John McHale said today it was a conditional purchase and added that the Tigers can return Wehmeier to the Cardinals if he does not recover from the sore arm that sidelined him last Friday night. McHale said the Tigers will not replace Wehmeier until Sunday.

He pointed out the clubs must wait 10 days before recalling an optioned player, indicating he plans to recall either Vito Valentinetti, George Spencer, or Joe Presko. Indiana State Nine At Wabash Today Indiana State's baseball team goes after its eleventh victory in 13 starts today as the Sycamores travel to Crawfordsville to take on the Wabash Little Giants. State won last year's game in 14 innings. Wabash, a contender in most any sport, isn't its usual self in baseball this season but still cannot be classified as a pushover. Also, the Sycamores may be looking ahead to Saturday when they take on Evansville in a Pocket City twin bill.

Saturday's games will either win or lose the Indiana College Conference championship for Coach Paul Wolfs nine. Going into the double-header. State leads the loop with a sparkling 7-1 record. However, close behind is St. Joseph's with a 6-2 mark.

Both have only Saturday twin games left, the Pumas playing Ball State. Therefore, it will either take a combination of two State victories or one St. Joseph's defeat combined with one State victory for the Statesmen to take the crown they shared with Evansville last year. They defeated the Aces at Evansville last year in the only meeting of the two teams, since the Terre Haute engagement was rained out. Parker Eaton, junior from Rosedale, was the hero last Saturday as I he pitched 14 and two-thirds innings for the Sycamores and won both games as State took both ends of a twin bill from DePauw by scores of 3 to 1 and 4 to 3, the last one going 13 innings.

Eaton is 6-1 for the season and leads the team in earned-run average. Jim Fauver, junior from Gary, started the second game for State and pitched no-hit ball for four innings but lost a little in the seventh and had to be relieved by Eaton. Cardinals Sign Wight PHILADELPHIA, May Left-hander Bill Wight, released by Cincinnati, was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals today in an effort to give balance to a pitching staff heavy on right-handers. Cardinal Manager Fred Hutchinson said he planned to use Wight, 36 years old, as a relief pitcher.

"He's got a good arm and he's a little wfld but I believe he can help us," Hutchinson said. The Cardinals optioned Phil Clark to Omaha of the American Association to make room for Wight, who is making his eighth big league.stop. Duo's Make Noise SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.

May Whitey i st i switched plans today and sent welterweight contender Vince Martinez through a seven-round boxing workout. Bimstein decided over the weekend to have the Paterson, N. fighter lay off boxing for a few days.

Today he revised his strategy. He said he will have Martinez, who. meets Virgil Akins for the vacant world welterweight title in St. Louis June 6, curtail his other activities but the boxing. "We're going to have Vince box 10 or 12 rounds in one day before we break camp at the end of the week," said Bimstein.

He's showing a lot of speed and his stamina is excellent." Martinez boxed two rounds each with Ike Jenkins and Bernie Raines and'three with Ernie Roberts today. Rochester Signs Babe ROCHESTER, N. May Loren Babe today was signed by the Rochester Red Wings in a move to add batting power to the club. Babe, who played with Seattle earlier this year, had been a free agent after suffering an ankle injury. Red Wing General Manager George Sisler said Babe's contract was conditioned on his ability to play and to produce.

Babe, a left-handed hitter, batted .262 last year with Toronto. He hit five homers and drove in 54 runs. He was sold to Seattle at the end of the season. He injured his ankle in Spring training and was batting .220 when he left the club. Haney Apologizes For Wrong Notion Of Giles'Anatomy BY HAROLD HARRISON CINCINNATI.

May 20. (ffi President Warren C. Giles of the National League said tonight he had received a telegram from Fred Haney, manager of the Milwaukee Braves, in which Haney said, "I am not accusing the president of the National League of having no guts nor questioning his integrity in anyway." The telegram was the latest in the simmering dispute between Giles and Haney over remarks Haney made in a tape-recorded telephone interview Sunday which was broadcast over a Milwaukee radio station. The interview, which followed Saturday night's Milwaukee Cincinnati game here in which two Milwaukee players were hit by pitched balls in the ninth inning, quoted Haney: -f- "THERE IS no place for this sort of thing in baseball. If the president of the National League hasn't got guts enough because it's in Cincinnati to do something, then something ought to be done to the president of the league, and you can quote me on that." Giles formerly was general manager of the Cincinnati club.

The hit batsman incident brought Milwaukee players rushing onto the field and a claim by Haney that apparently Manager Birdie Tebbetts of the Redlegs "feels if he can't beat us, the only thing to do is to cripple us." Milwaukee had an 18-4 margin over Cincinnati last year and is 6-2 this year. Yesterday, Giles told newsman that Haney had said he was willing to retract the interview statement as it applied to him, but last night the Milwaukee manager told baseball writers that his blast still stood except for the reference to "in Cincinnati." 4- BASEBALL WRITERS quoted Haney as saying, "I told Mr. Giles I was sorry I made reference to 'in Cincinnati'. I didn't mean to say 'in Cincinnati' because it reflected on the integrity of Mr. Giles.

I don't question that." But the fuss still simmered today until Giles received the telegram from Haney saying he was not accusing the league president of having "no guts." On receiving the telegram Giles issued a terse statement which said: "Fred (Haney) told me this in two different conversations I had with him. and other managers may be assured that the rule (covering pitchers throwing deliberately at batters) will be strictly enforced. The rule itself may need some changes and we are studying that possibility now." Prior to Sunday's game, Giles had both managers Haney and Tebbetts in conference and lectured them on violations of the rule covering "dustoff" or "bean- ball" pitches. Yale Crew Members Veto European Trip NEW HAVEN, May 20. possibility of a trip to Moscow by Yale's championship went up in smoke tonight as the crew members voted against any post-season regattas.

The vote ruled out an Eli appearance at England's Royal Henley Regatta, June 2-5, and a possible match there against the University of Washington for the right to a state-department-sponsored trip behind the iron curtain. Coach Jim Rathschidt explained that the majority of the Yale crew had assumed other obligations for the Summer months. Some have temporary military tours to fulfill. The meeting was called when it was learned the State Department was interested in sending a crew to Russia to meet the Russians. The crew making the best showing at Henley was expected to get the free ride.

LEAGUE LEADER Hank Aaron of the Braves led the league in three batting departments in 1957. He had 118 runs. 44 home runs, and batted in 132 counters. Yanks Bury White Sox Deeper in Cellar, 5-1 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Three home an inside the park blow by Mickey Mantle Johnny Rucks' nifty five-hit pitching tonight and sent rampaging New York Yankees to a 5 to 1 victory over the last place Chicago White Sox. The triumph was the seventh straight for the first place Yankees who are turning the American League pennant race into a runaway.

It was their eleventh success in the last 12 games and their twentieth in 25 games this season. Rucks' victory was his second in three decisions while Sox starter Dick Donovan suffered his fourth loss against two victories. Mantle started the Yankee scoring in the second inning when he doubled co left center and scored on Jerry Lumpe's single. Left- fielder Al Smith got his glove on Mantle's drive but couldn't hold on. With one out in the fourth, Mantle lofted a fly to left center.

SMITH AND center fielder Jim Rivera each called for the ball and both jumped away at the last second. The ball rolled to the wall and Mantle scored easily with his fourth homer of the season. Marv Throneberry's single and Rucks' double, his first hit this year, added a run in the fifth. Another came in the eighth when Hank Bauer opened with a homer into the center field bull pen. Throneberry hit his first major league homer in the ninth.

Rucks, meanwhile, had little trouble with the weak-hitting Sox as he hurled the Yankees' fourteenth complete pitching job. The crowd of 36,167, having jeered Smith and Rivera because of their misplay on Mantle's fly, perked up in the fifth. Rivera opened with a single to right and, on an attempted pickoff, Rucks' throw got away from Throneberry, who recovered and tossed Rivera out at second. RON JACKSON doubled and after Bubba Phillips bounced out, the Sox loaded the bases on a pair of walks but Rucks got out of the jam when Tito Francona bounced out. Rucks lost his shutout in the ninth when he walked- Jackson with two out and Phillips and pinch batter Don Mueller followed with singles.

A bit of excitement broke out in the Yankee fifth. After the Yanks had scored on hits by Throneberry and Rucks, Donovan's first pitch to Bauer was high and inside and sent the Yankee outfielder to the dirt. After an attempted bunt by Bauer went foul for a second strike, Hank lined out one right at Donovan. The ball glanced off Donovan's glove, hit him on the ear and bounced to third baseman Phillips, who threw Bauer out at first. The next time Bauer came up he blasted Donovan's first pitch for a homer.

BOB "RIVERBOAT" Smith, a 30- year-old rookie left-hander, pitched a three-hitter as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians, 6 to 1. Pete Ted Williams and Jimmy Piersall homered for the winners. It was Smith's third victory without a defeat this season, two of them against the Indians. Tha only hits he yielded were singles to Minnie Minoso in the first inning, Preston Ward in the third and Dick Brown in the eighth. Smith was wild as he walked nine and struck out five.

The Red Sox rapped four Cleveland pitchers for 10 hits and salted the game away early with a four- run outburst in the third inning that chased starter Ray Narleski. Four home runs by Runnels and Williams Highlighted the outburst. PIERSALL OPENED the inning with a walk. Narleski retired the next two batters, but Runnels hit one into the right field seats for his first homer of the season. Williams followed with his fourth ot the campaign into the same sector.

It was the 39-year-old slugger's 460th homer in his career. Dick Gernert then doubled to left field and Frank Malzone added a single to center, driving in Boston's fourth run. The Red Sox added another run in the fifth on a pair of singles by Malzone and Jackie Jensen after Runnels was hit by a pitched ball. Smith's wildness led to Cleveland's run without a hit in the fifth frame. He walked the bases loaded and Billy Moran scored on Ward's sacarifice fly to left field.
