58 PjKtSis, Binghamton, fl. Y. April 15, Another of Finley' Big Deals! 9 J'" who came on In the fifth, was the losing pitcher. Leon Wagner, the ex-Angel, making his first start for the Indians, drove in four runs with a thre-run homer and a single and Woodie Held also homered with the bases empty. Southpaw Jim Roland, the Twins' fourth pitcher, held the Tribe bitless over the last four innings although Jim Perry was the winner.

St. Louis at fan Francisco (bast-of-7 Western final series tied, -J. er In the eighth Inning broke up a 3-3 tie between the Orioles and White Sox. Powell connected off loser Hoyt Wil-belm, who had been greeted by Luis Aparicio's triple after relieving fctarter Gary Peters in the eighth. John Orsino and Joe Gaines also homered for the Orioles as Stu Miller gained the victory with three scoreless innings in relief.

Rich Rollins singled home the tying and winning runs for the Twins in the sixth inning after they had trailed the Indians, 6-3, at one point. Earl Battey rapped Cleveland starter Jim (Mudcat) Grant for a three-run homer In the fourth although Jerry Walker, By UP-lnternational CharUe Dressen, a grand little guy even if he does have the subtlety of a sledge-hammer, wants to know whether the Kansas City 'A's wish to make any more trades. Charlie isn't agitating, he's simply asking because he sure likes the last one they made with his Detroit Tigers. Dressen put his personal stamp of approval on that deal even though it meant sending slugger Rocky Colavito to Kansas City last November. The part that pleased Charlie was that second-baseman Jerry Lumpe and pitchers Dave Wickersham and Ed a came to Detroit in return.

washed out the opener between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Norm Cash and Bill Bruton homered for the Tigers and Gentile and pinchhitter Manny Jimenez connected for KC. Jimenez is the Latin American outfielder who drew Fin-ley's wrath two years ago because he wasn't hitting enough home runs. His shot yesterday was the only bright spot in an otherwise bleak beginning for the KC owner's season. John O'Danoghue, Triplet opening-night winner last year, finished on the mound for KC.

Boog Powell's two-run hom Sitting there In the dugout, Dessen was tickled about the deal all over again yesterday when Lumpe cracked out triple, double and a tingle and Wickersham came out of the bullpen to nail down a 7-3 victory for the Tigers in their home opener with the Athletics. Colavito went O-for-4. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles, who were supposed to have given up most of their power by sending Kansas City's Mr. Finley first-baseman Jim Gentile, sent up a barrage of three homers in a 5-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota edged Cleveland, 7-6, in other American League action. Rain JERRY LVMPE (Continued From Page 53) outfield receded when power-hitters came to town and moved in for the light-hitting clubs.

(The 1950 Triplets opened the 1950 season with the Johnson Field's then 383-foot rigktjieli line cut down to 325 feet, but after two opening-night Vtica home runs, the fence came down and didn't reappear for five years.) Opening their West Coast store in the hideous slum called Memorial Cowpasture, the Dodgers had only one hitter with rightfield power, Duke Snider. The dreadful screen in left was only 251 feet from the plate, but the rightfield fence was erected on the Orange County line; Snider's employers deliberately made him the sacrificial goat in a scheme to muffle the power of visiting lefthanders. The trickery succeeded as it deserved; the Dodgers finished next-to-last. Stomachs turned at long last. A minimum of 325 feet was established for new parks and it was provided that no existing park could be remodeled to reduce the distance to any fence below 325.

i FIXLEY IS CORRECT ON OXLY ONE POINT. Parks ought to be as close to a standard as real estate allows; where fences are too close, screens should be set up. However, to pretend that the 296-foot foul line in New York is the main difference between the Yankees and the Athletics is shattering asininity. As Yankee statisticians have pointed out, Yankee Stadium had only four more home runs last year than Kansas City's park. The Yankees, however, hit 188 home runs at home and abroad, and yielded only 115.

When Roger Maris hit 61, he made 30 at home, 31 on the road. When Babe Ruth made 60 it was 28 at home, 32 away. Moreover, home runs don't win pennants. The New York Giants of 1947 set a record of 221 homers and finished fourth. The Reds of 1956 tied it and were third.

Last year the Twins hit 225 to the Yankees' 188, and finished third, 13 games back. When the Yankees of 1961 hit 240 homers, they got 112 in the Stadium, 128 abroad.
