As the losing streak began to lengthen out into the double figures it became a joke to local fandom who quit turning out to watch them.

Eventually, they became a road team and finished out the year with the dubious record of four wins and 40 defeats. As often happens when a team is in the throes of a slump, everything seemed to happen. In one game a batter slammed a home run in the ninth which would have won and brought an end to the string. But in his hurry to get around the base he failed to touch first base, wiping out the score. Blytheville wts beaten in the extra frame.

Incidently, Blytheville's Jack Kloza won the batting championship that season with .373. Fred Werber, Dyersburg, was second with .351, Jackson suffered its 18th loss without firing a shot. The bus broke dowr. enroute to Madisonville and thf team was unable to negotiate for transportation in time to reach the park for the game. It was forfeited, 9-0.

Lookouts On March The rampaging Fulton Lookouts are coming in for their share of the interest. Seeking their fourth straight flag for a new league record, the Looks have done a com plete about face in recent days and the fans are wondering if Manager Russ (Red) Mincy's powerhouse isn't headed in the same direction of Sam Lamitina's three title holders immediately preceding this one. Off to an inglorious six-game los ing streak to open the race the Looks not only caught their second wind, but possibly their third, fourth and fifth. Since bringing the winless days to a halt on May 10 the defending champions have lost only one game in 14 starts; are en joyed a nine-game winning spurt before losing to Union City Monday. Already stocked with such slug gers as Ned Waldrop.

Howie Contini sought, George Slachta, a great defensive outfielder who played with the Chieftain at Hamilton in 1949. Gerald Karewski, report edly a hard hitting third baseman, is enroute. Don Pint, released by Madisonville even though he sport ed a .371 batting average, was taken on, along with Tom Peterson, slick fielding shortstop. Among the half dozen pink-slipped was Chuck Braun, who won the first game with a homer, and batted .267 in '53. Skipper Bob Latshaw is looking towards Chicago and the White Sox for aid in the sagging Miner cause and his pleas should be forthcom ing.

esDecially at pruning time tor some of the higher classification league clubs. The current team doesn't rate up to par for them. Ed Wright, Hopkinsville boss, is more or less standing pat with his Hopper gang. Outfielder John Chadra has been sent by the Athletic minor league organization to bolster the attack. Pitcher Emmanuel Psomos is another recent importee.

Tom Jasonis, holdover from last season, is beginning to recapture his batting eye, which is encouraging to the Hoppers. He hit a savage .339 in '53. Mayfield appears to have recovered its slump after a great start. John Zarconne and Frank Funk appear to be solid mound prospects. The latter dropped a toughie to Hopkinsville.

May 18, even though he whiffed 13. As the Memorial Day holidays approach Kitty League fans are wondering if another bombardment such as exploded on May 30, 1953, is in store. In these eight games a grand total of 189 runs were scored, with Hopkinsville getting 39 in the pair. Madisonville racked up the largest single scoring with a 26-15 rout of Jackson. Howie (Boots) War-rell, Hopkinsville, established a new record with 10 straight hits during the twin bill, 6-6 in the first and 4-4 in the afterpiece.

He batted in 13, seven in the finale, four on a grand slam homer.

Behind Yanks Stick To Old Formula Of Knocking Off Top Teams Jackson opens a three- 7" game series at Municipal Park here tonight against Paducah. Game time is 7 :30. The defeat marked the fifth straight game that Jackson has totaled 10 or more hits and still lost. In those contests, the Generals have rapped a total of 52 safeties, all in vain as far as victory is concerned.

Jackson is now five games shy of the all-time Kitty League record of 25 consecutive losses. Jack Strunk. making his second start in two nights and still plagued by the sore arm that has bothered him for the past two seasons, pitched all the way for the Generals. He gave up 13 hits, walked nine and hit three. His teammates played errorless ball behind him.

Madisonville jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the first two innings and Miner pitcher Bob Bennett was never in serious trouble after that. He kept Jackson's 10 hits well scattered and walked but five. The victory was Bennett's first of the year against three losses. Leading Madisonville's 13-hit attack was third baseman Joe Bor-rellino with a triple and three singles and four runs scored. Every man in the winning lineup except the pitcher garnered at least one tit.

Leading hitters for Jackson were Mike Luciano with a doable and single and Stewart Riles and Dan-cy Meyers with two singles each. Harry Arterburn and Mike Mum- 1 azzo were the only General regu- lars to go hitless and Arterburn drew a pair of walks.

The manner in which they maltreated Union City's pitching in their first two meetings, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, which they won 12-5 16-6, may be a warning of what is in store. They climbed to within two games by the two wins, tying Owensboro for 2nd.

Foster, the loop's only member of the '53 20-game circle (21-13), won his first starting asignment Sunday afternoon. Despite the fact that he allowed 15 hits, Mickey wasn't pressed and coasted behind the big lead. Seawrlght blasted four hits, Including a home run and his 10th and 11th doubles of the year, to push his batting average to .405, He is far behind the leader, Allen Shina, Union City, who is clicking away at a lusty .479 clip. Lowell Mandenhall, Dodger outfielder and first weekly swat leader, returned to the lineup after being out due to Injuries, and suffered a plate drop to .420. Up in Owensboro the fans and club bosses have their fingers crossed.

They are hoping the Oil ers will continue to challenge the lead. Then, too, Individual interest centers on their prize shortstop, Tonv Kubek. The tall youngster hit savagely during the pre-season training but suddenly ran out of base hits wnen the curtain went up. Despite special attention from manager Marvin Crater. Kubek hasn't been able to find the range with consistency.

But of late he has been meeting the ball solidly with definite results He is high on the Yankee prospect ive list. Help is on the way from the Card inals for their Paducah Chiefs Highly favored on basis of show ing in the training camp, the Chiefs haven't measured up so far and Manager Hal Contini has sent out an urgent S. O. S. of the wind out of the south siders' sails by twice coming from behind to capture squeakers in the closing moments.

Those kind of victories are extremely fine for your esprit de corps. That type of a defeat hurts. Winning eight while dropping two on the road, Casey Stengel's men prevailed 5-3, 5-4, 5-3 in 10 innings, 6-4, 7-5, 2-0. 4-3 and 3-2 and lost 8-7. Berra really started cannonading a little earlier, than May 2.

The cat-like catcher was batting a meager .195 in his annual cus tom of getting away slowly when he suddenly caught fire in late April. From April 26 through May 18, the squat athlete blasted enemy pitchers for 28 hits in 73 times at bat. That gave the amusing character from St. Louis .384 for the drive, hoisted his average to .316. He drove in 16 runs when they counted most, manufactured six doubles, a triple and five hsme runs for a slugging average of .699.

And he's the best all-round ballplayer in the game for a catcher. Yogi Berra is indeed a funny man to everyone but rival pitchers, batters dropping balls anywhere near the plate and base-runners attempting to steal. Detroit Buys Cal Abrams DETROIT.

FRIEND League Statistician Chief interest within the famous litUe Kitty League for the moment concerns the plight of the Jackson Generals, who through Monday had failed to taste the richness of victory in 20 games of the 1954 campaign. Fans and officials alike are concerned over two possibilities: Will the Generals, already unproud possessors of the longest losing skein from start of a season, break the existing league record of 25 consecutive defeats racked up by the orphan Paducah Indians (now Chiefs) back in 1922, and then head for the all-time minor league record of 36 in a row established by Bly-theville (Ark) (my home town) during the 1925 Tri-State League, of which Jackson was a member; or, will Hiram Hopper, the owner toss in the towel and call it quits in Jackson and move the franchise to another site, possibly Dyersburg. Tenn? In event of the latter, the streak will still have the possibility of continuing, regardless of where the team finally lands. Before the Generals embarked on their extended winless famine, the longest any Kitty League team had gone from start of the season without a victory was Clarksville in 1949. In 1937 Paducah dropped 18 in a row.

but didn't start losing until the season was a week old. The 1922 race ended the Paducah debacle, which might have continued had not time mercifully intervened. Managed by "Stormy" Kromer, who now manufactures the cap bearing his name in Milwaukee, Blytheville really wrote a losing record for future teams to shoot at. They finished high up in the first half, won by Jonesboro by 54 games, then encountered financial difficulty. In order to keep operating Kromer began peddling his outstanding nlavers and sold so many there was little left but a shell: impotent and unable to compete with such teams as Tupelo, (Miss) winner of the second half 12 Americans Remain In British Golf MUIRFIELD.

NEW YORK, (NEA) May 25 Looks like this thing is going to go on forever. The Yankees returned from their first western crip rolling. Paced by Yogi Berra's belting and the relief pitching of Johnny Sain, the World after a dismal getaway, bounced back among the front runners.

For continuous excitement, outing after outing, there hasn't been anything like it since the dazzling 1952 World Series, and this per formance was over a 16 instead of a seven-game stretch. From May 2 through 18, the Bombers won 12. tied one and lost three for .800. Reading those fig ures, one might suspect that the Bronx crowd had thundered over the opposition, but the scores were anything but top heavy. Of the 12 victories, only two were by more than three runs.

On the jaunt west, only one game, a Yankee defeat, was settled by more than two. It was the sort of baseball where one wrong move by a manager. one defensive slip or poor pitch meant the works. The Yankees have the same old winning formula bagging the close ones and whacking the leaders. Stick out your head and the New York Americans will knock it off.

The Indians swept a two-game set on the occasion of their first visit to Yankee Stadium. So the Yankees took two of three in Cleveland. The Tigers were showing surprising early foot, so the Yanks copped all three at Briggs Stadium.

Elks vs VFW Tonight Set Aside For Bucky Harris WASHINGTON, May 25 (-After 38 years in organized baseball, Bucky Harris finally gets his "night" tonight. As with everything else, the personable manager of the Washington Senators took this occasion in stride. There's a brand new car waiting for presentation before tonight's game with the New York Yankees.

There will be other gifts, to, although the Touchdown Club of Washington, which is sponsoring the event, is keeping their nature a secret. Bucky now is serving his third hitch as manager of the Senators. White as a sheet and on shaky legs, he hit the ball into the right field stands to win the game. One Charley horse begets another, so Musial was on two flat wheels at Sportsman's Park, May 2 when he became the first player in history to hit five home runs in a double-header. That also set a new iecord for total bases in a twin Dill 21.

Musial didn't want to run, so he hit the ball out of the park, Musial thrives on bad physical breaks. Indeed, it was a severe injury that put him on the track his six batting championships. He was a p'tcher playing the outfie.d when he tell and hurt nis throwing shoulder attempting a shoea'xtag catch for the Daytona Beach club of thf. Florida State League in 1940. Ask him where he got his individualistic swing like a thief in a crouch looking over his shoulder for a cop and he can't tell you.

"I cou.dn't pitch in the spring of 1941," he recalls. I had a wife and baby, so I just had to hit." As hard as he has played, Musial in eight seasons did not miss a game. The fewest he played was 140 and that in his freshman year, when Billy Southworth made the mistake of alternating him some- what in the early going with Coaker Habitually a later starter, Stan ley Musial got out of the gate rapidly this season, and is taking dead aim at .400. Don't bet he won't make it. He has the kick of Native Dancer in the stretch.

TAC TEAM MATCH NEW YORK, May 25 (NEA) Stanley Musial is as durable as he is devastating. Stan the Man is perhaps foremost iron man since Lou Gehrig. Little things like an inflamed appendix ana tonsils and a twisted knee don't stop the greatest of the Cardinals. Musial'j appendix and tonsils kicked up right after the kickoff of 1947. Di Robert F.

Hyland froze the appendix and the plucky Donora Dandy played 149 games at first base, batting .312, the poorest of his illustrious National League career. The grind concluded, he visited a hospital for the double-header that brought him back as good as new an appendectomy and a tonsillectomy. In 1950, Musial broke from the barrier as rapidly as he has this spring, but in late May badly wrenched his right knee slipping and falling when he stepped in loose dirt rounding first base at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field. He played the rest ot the way with the knee in an elastic ribbed brace. That didn stop him from leading the league for the fourth time batting .346.

The knee hasn't been just right ever since. Marty Marion had difficulty fielding a team when the Cardinals were hit by an influenza epidemic early in the campaign of 1951.
