At this point Don Mossi checked them. Cleveland got only one more hit, a harmless single by Al Smith in the seventh. The Yankees, though, put two on in the eighth and Mike Garcia replaced Mossl.

Garcia weathered the eighth without further damage only to have Charley Silvera walk and Gene Woodling single with one out in the ninth. But Eddie Robinson popped- up and Gil McDougald lofted a long fly to Dave Philley lot the final out. Philley poled a grand slam home run over the left field fence in the first inning. The Cleveland-New York show Br BEX PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer The Cleveland Indians won an 8-7 thriller from the New York Yankees last night that left the home folks limp. Cleveland spotted the Yankee three runs, then roared back with seven before the New Yorkers could get anybody out In the home half of the first Inning.

Umpire Bill Summers thumbed Yogi Berra and then Casey Stengel from the Same during the uprising. With seven runs home, Jim He-gaa on third, nobody out and Whitey Ford and Bob Kuzava shelled from the mound, in came Yankee rookie Bob Grim. Hegan got home on a sacrifice fly. but one after another Grim fooled the Indians clubbers until Wally Westlake finally broke the runs batted in on single and triple. "Chuck" again played the hero role this jear as the Chiefs slipped past the The outfielder came to bat in the top half of the tenth with a mate aboard and the count knotted at 3-alL He proceeded to tear the game wide open with a powerful poke over the fence for the winning margin.

But there the resemblance between the two early seasons runs out. A year ago after four games had been reeled off every team had tasted defeat, with Union City and Madisonville deadlocked for the top with 3-1 records. Fulton and Paducah posted 2-1 charts for third. Hopkinsville and Mayfield tied for fifth at 1-2, with Owensboro and Jackson holding down last joint at 1-3. Thanks to three impressive triumphs over Fultonand Jackson, respectively, Mayfield and Union City jumped Into early leads.

Saturday morning they were the only unbeaten teams, having copped four in a row.

The Dodgers, displaying tremendous batting strength, battered Jackson unmercifully in three, scoring 54, runs. Paducah was their fourth straight victim, 11-7, Friday night. The Oilers and Chiefs had 2-1 records, and Madisonville 1-2, but Hopkinsville, Jackson and Fulton failed to scratch.

It was Fulton's worst start in several years. If the first four days are any indication, the Kitty League is to be the scene of repeated bombardment again this summer. In the first 14 games of the 1953 season a total of 174 runs was scored. In one less contest during a four-day period this season the eight teams dented the rubber 181 times.

The win was Mayfield's seventh without a loss compared to Jackson's seventh straight defeat. Jackson travels to Owens- PAUL RICHARDS NEW YORK. May 11 (NEA In 1951. when Paul Richards had an amazing collection of White Sox on top at the time of the All-Star Game, Billy Evans poked his head through the cioor of Red Rolfe's New York hotel room. "The White ox are winning another." said the then Detroit general manager to his field marshal, giving the score of the Chicago club's game in Washington.

"Who's pitching?" asked Manager Rolfe. "Oh. what's the difference?" said Evans. "Richards probably picked up somebody on his way to the park. Or maybe he's using an usher." It was the old umpire's way of saying that most anyone could pitch winning baseball for the able manager of the South Siders.

Richards is the current O'l Clo'sraan of the majors and its foremost teacher, especially with pitchers. "Out cf the past came Don Johnson, former Yankee, to plaque them with, for him, new pitching patterns." the report read. "The Bombers had beaten Johnson seven times and he had not won from them since they traded him to the Browns in 1950. defeats of Jackson In the first two games of '54 contributed material ly to the total, out tney an count.

Tony Matsikoudes, a Union City returnee, posted One of the most surprising features of early play so. far was the manner in which Mayfield pitchen completely throttled Fulton, de spite the fact that Ned Waldrop Howie Weeks, Manager Russel (Red) Mincy, and Hal Seawright all proven swatters, were in tin lineups.

If there's anything to be learnei from these facts and figures culle from a handsome pamphlet pre pared by Sid Keener, custodian the Cooperstown gallery, it seem to be that there's no such anima, as an average ballplayers.

On notes from the chart, though, tha they average a good deal large these days than they did aroum the turn of the century. Rabbi Maranville's 5 feet 5 and 14 pounds would not have been con sidered unusually small 40 or 5 years ago, and Paul Waner's feet 8Ms would have made bin quite a big feller. It comes as no great surpris to learn that a player named Ti Cobb posted the highest lifetim batting average among the im mortals, but it was news this writer that the reverd Connh Mack set the lowest mark with i blazing .249 and powered only fou homers during his 11 years bebinc the plate.

This year the scoring was identical. Last season the Clothiers Jumped out into an early 5-1 lead and coasted behind Frank Mendizza. This time the winners banged out a 6-1 advantage by the end of the third and won with ease as Pete Calder cooled off the three-time champions on seven safeties, one less than granted by Mendizza.

Only one other major league game was played last night. The Baltimore Orioles rallied for four ninth-inning runs and shaded the Philadelphia Athletics 7-6. The run total was the highest for the Orioles this season. A pair of walks, singles by Bob Young and GU Coan, a double by Dick Kryhoskl an'' a sacrifice fly by Sam Mele provided the runs Baltimore needed to overcome a 6-3 Philadelphia lead. Kryhoskl got another double and a single during the chilly evening and drove in four runs.

Bob Trice, last of three Athletics pitchers, was charged with his second defeat In two days. The victory went to Howie Fox, who took over after seven for starter Don Larsen. ance, etc. BOB KEEGAN. ALSO a refugee from Yankee farms, has blossomed into a stickout under Richards at 31.

The boss contends that Keegan was the most formidable flinger in the league at the end of last season, when he bagged four out of five and the last three with an ERA of 1.32. He has won two games this, spring, letting the Indians down with four hits. Richards is bringing Jack Harshman, the converted left-handed first baseman who copped 23 for Nashville, along slowly, believes he'll win in the big show. He sees Tom Flanigan, a towering, skinny southpaw who at 19 has had two years on the farms, as another Lefty Grove, even though Mickey McDermott of the White Sox beats the Cincinnati kid to that title. Flanigan can really fire the ball and has a curve to match.

Billy Pierce and Virgil Trucks are the only name pitchers with the White Sox. but the staff has an ERA of 2.75 for the early going. The White Sox will do considerably better than all right if Paul Richards doesn't get tired thinking. Jackson High Defeated By Union City Jackson High School put its baseball bats in the bag for keeps after Monday afternoon when the Golden Bears lost a 5-3 decision to the Union City Golden Tornado in the first game of the Division A play off. Union City will meet North Side in a semi-final game Wednesday at Union City.

Monday's game was played on the North Side diamond and Union City pecked away for single runs in the first second and third innings to rile up a 3-0 margin that the Bears could never overcome. Tornado athletic standout Bobby Young pitched all the way for the winners and turned the Bruins back with six hits. He struck out three and kept the Jackson hits scattered. i oung also contributed a single and triple to the Union City attack. Other top hitters for the winners were Bill Roney with a pair of singles and Paul Strickland with two one-shots.

Roney's second single plated two key runs in the sixth inning to sew up the triumph. Charles Jeter started on the hill for the locals and was charged with the loss. He gave up seven hits and three runs in four innings and struck out two. Jimmy Po- teete relieved Jeter and yielded two hits and as many runs in two inn ings. Leading the Bear attack was James Scott with a triple, single and walk in four at-bats.

Jackson rallied for two runs in the seventh after one was out. Larry Bell doubled scoring Albert Arnette who had reached first on an error. Pate singled Gene Pearce reached base on an error and Scott walked. Bobby Beare grounded out to end the game with the sacks loaded.

Prompt Service. CITY LUMBER CO. US Poplar Phont 7-8631 By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, May 11 WV-Willle Keeler, the remarkable little man who contributed the sage advice to "hit 'em where they ain't" to baseball lore, stood only 5 feet 4 and weighed but 140 pounds, yet he was large enough to post a batting average of .345 during his 19 years of outfielding in the big leagues. Johnny Evers, member of the famous Tinker to Evers to Chance double-play combination, was even smaller than Willie, though, if you want to judge them on weight alone. The pugnacious second baseman carried only 135 pounds on his 5 feet 9 inches over an 18-year span and was by far the thinnest athlete yet to be incarcerated in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.

The largest member of that select company appears to have been the famous Adrian (Cap) Anson, who weighed in at 220 pounds while infielding and managing, mostly for the Chicago Cubs, from 1876 to 1897. Babe Ruth is listed at a mere 215, along with Uncle Wilbert Robinson, but many admirers of the pair will contend they were given a short count. The three tallest specimens among the 64 superstars whose plaques adorn the walls of the baseball shrine were Dizzy Dean, Lefty Bob Grove and Cy Young, all pitchers and all measuring 6 feet 3. The late Herb Pennock, one of the greatest of the lefthanders, weighed 165 pounds and "Old Don had tried to blow the ball by batters. "The new Johnson showed a slider, a good curve, a better controlled fast ball and a let up." JOHNSON YIELDED JUST five hits in seven and two-thirds innings in the White Sox" first 195? appearance at Yankee Stadium to give them eight victories in the last nine starts.

Johnson, who kicked around with the Kankees and in their chain for four years, is one of Professor Richards newest projects. He could be a pippin, for he's only 27. "I learned more about pitching under Burleigh Grimes in Toronto last season and under Richards' this spring than I did in my previous seven years in baseball," he says, simply. Richards, the long-time catcher, specializes in getting mileage out of pitchers passed along by others. He got two good years out of Saul Rogovin.

made the Coney Island Conundrum the American League's earned-run leader. He made a star out of Billy Pierce, a crack relief worker out of Harry Dorish. Virgil Trucks engineered a tremendous comeback under his guid playing at Western Slate Normal College. Kalamazoo. and at Notre Dame, where he was quar-; terback under the immortal Knute Rockne in 1920-22.

He left Notre Dame with a law degree in his hand. But football was in his blood. So, with Rockne's blessings, he went to Georgia as backfield coach in 1923. Two years later he became head coach at Chattanooga, returned to Georgia in 1929 and remained there until 1931 when he toe over at Alabama. He was the first Notre Dame graduate to coach at a major southern college and he became one of the nation's leading exponents of the Irish style of play.

In addition to the victory over Stanford, Thomas' Rose Bowl teams lost to California 13-0 in 1938 and beat Southern California 34-14 in 1946. His teams beat Texas 29-21 in the 1942 Cotton Bowl, defeated Boston College 37-21 in the 1943 Orange Bowl and lost to Duke 29-26 in the 1945 Sugar Bowl. His teams won three Southeastern Conference titles and lied for a fourth. Alabama's record from 1933 through 1945 of 90 victories, 17 losses and 7 ties was the best in the nation. Second to football was his love of baseball and he once turned down a contract with the New York Giants.

He also participated in basketball and track in college and was a fine golfer. HEADQUARTERS EQUIPMENT Rawlings Balls fir Cloves SPOT-BILT SHOES Louisville Slugger Bats WHITLOW'S SPORTING COODS 215 N.

Manager Lou Lucas continued to turn over personnel at a rapid pace.

Most recent releases announced by the Generals are outfielder Jeff Hopper, catcher Willie D. Smith and pitchers Sonny Wilson and Ed Patt. Among the newcomers who have seen action already are catchers Charles Perkins and Stewart Riles and pitcher James Carswell. Monday night's game saw a little of everything including a triple play that actually was not a triple play, but umpire Graham saw it as a triple killing. So be it.

Mayfield pulled the defensive gem in the second inning. Vance Byrd was on second and Bill Hughes on first for the Generals when Coleman Bell smashed a low line drive just to third baseman George Lovelace's left. The hot corner guardian speared the liner on a very short hop just after it kicked up dirt and fired to Red Davis at second, who relayed to first trying for the double play. The speedy Bell beat the throw to first and apparently one man was out, but base umpire Graham stunned everyone by announcing that the side was retired. He ruled that Lovelace had caught the drive in the air and doubled the runners off their bases.

After an unbelieving pause, the Clothiers trotted off the field highly amused by the whole incident. Lucas protested long and futilely but plate umpire Suffil refused to reverse Gar-ham's decision. Lanky righthander Clayton Haney pitched all the way for Mayfield and allowed only three singles. The elongated fireballer was troubled with wildness and walked 10, but never was in serious trouble as his mates piled up a one-sided margin early in the game. Mayfield received three unearned runs in the first inning and went on from there to pile up markers in every inning except the fifth.

Big gun in the Mayfield attack was first baseman Ed Russell who whacked a double, four singles and drew a walk in seven trips to the plate. He drove in three runs and scored three. Shortstop Joe Capasso ran his consecutive streak for getting on base against the Generals to 10 in two games before he was finally TUSCALOOSA. May lia Frank Thomas. 55.

the stocky, soft-spoken man who coached Alabama to one of football's most spectacular records, died last night. Death resulted from a heart ailment which forced him to give up coaching in 1947 and to surrender bis duties as athletic director in early 1952. Thomas refused to try to pep up his teams with emotional appeals during halftime. but was a stickler for detail and hard work in practices. During his 15 years as boss of the Crimson Tide, his teams won 115 games, lost 24 and tied seven.

His record was 4-2 in three Rose Bowl games and one each in the Cotton, Orange and Sugar Bowls. Perhaps his most famous team was that of 1934. one of his four undefeated squads. This powerhouse, featuring the passing combination of Dixie Howell to Don Hutson, whipped Stanford 29-13 on Jan. 1, 1935.

In the two-game series, he reached first 11 of 13 limes he batted. Two newcomers took the bill for Jackson last night and neither fared too well. Robert Morehouse started and was tagged with three unearned runs in the first.

After he put three men on in the second James Carswell, also a righthander, took the mound. He pitched until the ninth when Charles Dillon took over. Carswell drove in two of the Jackson runs with a single. Lucas pinch hit for Carswell in the eighth and singled sharply past short. Mayfield ABRH A Capasso.
