Shocked by the shooting of Eddie Waitkus, the star Philly first baseman, his teammates were determined today to do their best to boost the morale of the stricken athlete. Waitkus was shot and seriously wounded by a girl fan in a hotel room early yesterday.

Marino Replaces Alberts As Foe for DiGiammo In Main Preliminary Of Tuesday Card Here The supporting card to the Rocky Graziano-Bobby Claus windup in the Wilmington Park ring on Tuesday night neared completion today. Graziano, former world's middleweight champion from New York, now gunning for a new title chance, and Claus, slugging Buffalo N.

165-pounder, will battle in the 10-round main event. The eight-round semi-windup will bring together Al Tribuani, Wil mington's comeback middleweight, be making his initial appearance Ihere since fighting two windups during the 1946 season. Alberts Too Light Promoter Ralph Tribuani announced a change in the six-round top preliminary. Ted DiGiammo, hard-punching Bergen, N. welterweight, will oppose Angelo Marino of Baltimore instead of Jimmy Alberts of Wilmington, as originally scheduled.

Lou Brooks, former heavyweight contender from I Wilmington who manages Alberts, reported today that Alberts, at 147, will be too light for DiGiammo, who probably will come into the ring at 162 pounds. DiGiammo is a Graziano stablemate. There will be two four-round bouts. In one, Pete Murphy, young Wilmington 140-pounder who scored a hit with the crowd in winning his professional debut here last month, will come back to tackle George Willis, also of Wilmington, in a bout billed as for "the General Motors plant champion." Murphy stopped John Dedman of Philadel- phia in the second round in his first test. Another 4-Rounder The other four-round contest probably will be arranged tonight, Promoter Tribuani said.

Meantime, the promoter disclosed a brisk advance sale for the Graziano card. Rocky's first start since his losing title match with Tony Zale last June has attracted reservations from a wide area, including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and unstate Pennsylvania. Graziano never has fought anywhere else in the East save Washington, D. and the New York metropolitan area. Motor City Open Starts in Rain DETROIT, June 16 (INS).

Golfers in the Motor City Open must cut through a rainy haze to officially open the four-day tournament on the Meadowbrook course today, The three-day Detroit rains aren't expected to cause any major dam age. Meadowbrook drains rapidly, but the course may play a stroke or two harder. Dr. Cary Middlecoff, winner of the National Open, leads the favorites in the $15,000 classic. The 28-year-old dentist has a lot to gain by winning the Meadowbrook con test.

Victory here and the $2,500 first prize would enable him to pass his chief rival, Sam Snead, in the money-winning standings. The West Virginian now is the leader with $13,860.83 to Middlecoff's $11,. 999.57. But the good doctor will find plenty of competition along the 72- hole test even with Snead missing. Among the other favorites are Clayton Heafner, Bobby Locke, Chick Harbert and Al Watrous.

G.B. By NORVIN (RIP) COLLINS old rlghthanded pitching star for the font-running Worth Steel nine of the Semi-Pro League, would like another crack at organized baseball. The 6-foot, 3Viinch, 200 pounder recently hurled a near perfect no-hit, no-run league game against the Bancroft nine, winning, 15-0. Which isn't bad for a youth who was released by the Phillies' Dover club in 1947 with a dead arm. The Phils signed Hadley, then 19, and sent him to their Eastern Shore League farm.

He started Just one game on a rainy night and wound up the next day with a sore arm. A fling during batting practice finished Hadley so far as organized baseball was concerned. He stayed around the Dover con fines for about a month, but his arm just wouldn't do the things a pitcher needs, so he was given! his outright release. Don, a young giant with shoulders of a blacksmith, didn't pitch any more that year, but last season he connected with Worth Steel and won 13 out of 14, losing only a two-hitter to Delaware Power and Light. This year his arm is behaving even better and he has won three out of four starts.

His only setback has been a three-hitter to Elmhurst, 3-2. He allowed only one hit in that game until the seventh and final inning. Hadley, who works in a supermar-; ket, has onlv one regret about his no-hitter. That is that it was against the last-place Bancroft club! instead of one of the top teams. I "Boy, I was really right that' night," he mused.

"Everything went just the way I wanted. "1 lost control only ones and that was when I walked a batter. He was the only one to even come near first base all night." Bump all baseball-playing Had-leys have been called "Bump" ever since the Yankee pitcher of the same name, just like, uh, all Collinses now are called "Rip" in honor of the old Cardinal first base- man struck out 12 over the seven innings and "felt just as fresh at the finish as at the start The former Claymont High athlete feels that his arm is in better shape than ever. He plans to study plumbing and heating this fall in Phila-delphai with the idea of eventually having his own business. But he wouldn't say no to another try for the pot of gold.

"I wish I had gone to Broadford (Phillies' farm in the Pony League) instead of Dover," he declared, "maybe things would have been different. "But between plumbing and base ball, I'd rather play ball. I love the game. And I really think my arm is in good shape." With a record of 16 wins and two losses in two seasons of semi-pro ball, including a no-hitter, Hadley could be right. Georgia Hills Hiding Pitcher Mountaineer Prospect, But Scuots Need Hound Dog TATE, June 16 ().

There's a big-league pitching prospect in the Long Swamp Creek and mountain country oi North Georgia but to find Jimmy Jarrett you need a road map and a hound dog. Major league scouts should take Routes 41 and 5 northbound out of Atlanta and Marietta for a look at the pitcher for Tate who throws white-lightning curves. Eighteen-year-old Jimmy has won at least 20 straight. He's fanned 77 men in the last 44 innings, given 19 hits, a single unearned run and he's walked only four in ball gamse for Tate of the North Georgia Mountain League. That's a slow league, but Jimmy has a fait ball worth traveling far to see.

Bill Griffith, who did a mite of pitching for the Atlanta Crackers 20 years ago, catches Jimmy in daily practice. Griffeth insists his young friend can make a fine pitcher. When the tall, right-handed mountaineer winds up, he's loose and smiling but hes' got to learn what to do with his 6-foot, 2-inch body. His long, skinny legs go flying off in different directions before he lets go of the (ball and he seldom gets all of his 150 pounds behind a pitch. That's the kind of thing Griffith say the kid has to learn and he wants to see him start learning in a hurry and under good teachers.

Jimmy hasn't been knocked out of a game in two years and when he gives up a hit its usually a Texas Leaguer. On afternoons when Jimmy Is in good form, he strikes out from 15 to 17 batters. Baseball scouts won't have to worry about Jimmy not being interested in propositions. The Jarrett family is willing for him to pick up a bonus. The main trouble is for the scout to nna Jimmy.
