3 Brlasle.p. 1 NEW YORK, June 7 Even the eagles in baseball often turn chicken when they are pressed and must make a deal. They may be dead sure they are going to improve their position, yet they approach the transaction with all the clammy dread of a sensitive youngster going out on his first date. They're afraid the man they give up will come back to haunt them. With almost two months of the season gone, the Yankees are still struggling to get near the top.

It became evident early they couldn't do it with what they went South with. They could beat left-handers but not right-handers. So they dealt with Washington for Irv Noren. Now Noren isn't going: to hurt them, though he has yet to hit .300 in the majors, but what if Jackie Jensen and Archie HUson suddenly become stars and Frank Shea regains his winning formula? This won't make Trader George Weiss look like a direct descendant of Solomon. Still, we have it on the authority of ancient philosophers that nothing is ever gained without venture, a thought which even motivates the energies of horse players, as you may have noted, and apart from vanity, there can be no harm if the deal works out well for you.

Shea has won for Washington. Jensen has delivered game-winning blows and Wilson has swung a menacing mace, and the headline writers, as if touched with the peculiar sadism these things seem to breed, have not overlooked the exploits. It has become familiar to read that "Ex-Yank's Pitching Wins" "Ex-Yank's Hit Deciding Blow." The forbidding black type points a mocking finger at Trader Weiss. It's Not What You Give Up And the finger has been actively employed for several years. The Yankees quit on Tommy Byrne because of his foggy notion of the location of the plate.

Then he went to the Browns and became a control pitcher. Now The Indians won the game almost before it started. With one out in the first, jwo singles, a pair of walks, Easter's four-run homer and a triple by Jim Hegan produced six runs and chased Alex Kellner.

2:12. A S73. victory today, giving up only three hits as the Yankees edged the Browns, 2-1, before a crowd of 19,714. The big right-hander, who has an earned-run average of 1.31 and has not been knocked out of the box this year, struck out nine batters as he scored his seventh victory against three setbacks. Reynolds now has pitched two two-hitters, a three-hitter, and two four-hitters.

While Reynolds fashioned his brilliant pitching job, his team mates combined three hits in the fifth inning to provide him with all the runs he needed. Billy Martin led off with a single and after Reynolds had struck out attempting to sacrifice, Mickey Mantle doubled to right center, scoring Martin. Phil Rizzuto's single to right brought home Mantle. Duane Pillette, a former Yankee, pitched well, holding his former team to six hits in the seven innings he worked. ST.

Workouts begin at 10 m. each morning Third baseman Bobby Thomson's comment when Ralph Klner pulled his surprise bunt Friday night: "What the is coming off here; Leo Durocher's comment: "I'll give Kiner four bunts a game as long as he doesn't hit the home run." The first three innings yesterday lasted one hour and 13 minutes. Ralph Kiner walked his last three times at bat and now has 40 free tickets in 44 games. The Bucs looked like a team anxious to get it over with after the sixth inning and the 7656 customers didn't like it at alL Davey Williams almost made a flying tackle to track down Bartlrome in the fourth inning.

Tony had walked and when Main lined to Williams, the Giant second sacker tried to chase Tony back to the bag. Tony beat him but found Williams on his back at first base. When Williams hit his two-run homer into the Gardens in the sixth inning tying the score. Branch Rickey Jr. screamed: I'll bet the other teams hit more than four times as many homers there as the Pirates do." He was promptly told: "There's one way to bring that average down.

Go get some players who can hit 'em there. The other teams have 'em." Durocher gave his Giant lineup a severe shaking up, putting Bob Thomson back into center field for the first time since early 1951. tne one thing that disturbed me more than anything else was that the fans started to get on Coach Bill Posedel. It certainly wasn't his fault. Every player should know how many men are on base and I just pulled one, that's all." Tony made up for his lapse with a single and two doubles.

Sal Maglie not only one of the best pitchers In baseball but he also owns one of the most remarkable memories. He still remembers (he day the Pirates beat him in 915, before he went into the Mexican League. "PreiM her Roe wa (he pitcher for the Pirates and the game was played at Forbes Field," Sal recounted yesterday. -The score was 3-2 and I also remember Manager Mel Ott telling me later it wasn't my fault I lost." Fred Fitzsimmons believes his streak over the Pirates extended through 15 games during his career as a Giant and a Dodger. Art Nehf nicked the Bucs 13 times in a row in 1920, 1921 and 1922 for the Giants and Braves and Maglie tied that mark until Friday night.

'The last game I lost to the Pirates was a toughie," Fitz recalls. "I had the game won, 2- 1, with two out in the ninth and the Waners on second and third. Marv Shea, our catcher with the Dodgers, missed a knuckle, ball for a strike, both Waners scored and I got beat 3- 2."

For that reason it would be a mistake to count the Yankees out. This much you can be sure of: Trader Weiss will not hesitate to make more deals If he thinks he can strengthen the club and no man likes less to be reminded that he let a good one get away. Put that down as a normal conceit. The Yankees won by five games last year, a deceptively comfortable margin, for the race was touch and go up to the last week, or so; they won by three the year before and by the absolute minimum of one the year before that. It was Trader Weiss deals that made the difference in each race.

If it comes down that close again this year the Yankees will have an edge the rival clubs lack, a knowing, active man in the front office. A-wtikea lor oeiocn in 5th. for Wertz in th. out for Berry tn 8th. D-StngleiJ for White In 9th.
