ANDLOTS CICCONBTTI There's Life In The Old WigwomYet Al Rosen's Homer Sparks Tribe To 5-4 Victory WE HAVE been asked many times why the coverage em independent baseball and Softball is spotty. There is one Stock answer to that question. Lack of interest on the part of the managers and those guiding the We have always believed in the promotion of local sports over those national and international in scope. Since we have only so much space with which to paint a facsimile of the passing sports scene each day, we try to get in as much local as possible. Full Cooperation Is Necessary However.

Rosen, bothered by a finger he broke last year and his timing, led off in the last of the eighth inning with his 12th home run of the season. That tied the score and before the inning was completed the Tribe had the winning run across for a 5-4 victory that cut New York's first-place lead to a scant four games.

Rosen got one other hit, a sin- gle, in four chances and boosted his average to .237, Other key men in the Indian attack who produced were Larry Doby, Bobby Avila and Al Smith. Doby hit his 14th homer with none on in the third inning, after Bob Lemon had singled, taken second on an error, gotten to third on an out and scored on a fly. Bobby Avila hit that fly. The little second baseman also doubled in" Jim Hegan after the catcher had walked in the fifth and advanced on a single by Smith. The key blow was a pop single to center field by Smith, several plays after Rosen's homer.

His game-winning blow came after singles by Hal Naragon and Ray Narleski. Narleski got credit for the pitching victory, his fifth without a loss. The youngster was the third Cleveland pitcher, following Lemon and Don Mossi to the mound. Jim Konstanty, the Yankees' ace relief pitcher, was charged with the loss, his first against six victories.
