Kekich pitched his first complete game of the season Saturday afternoon as the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians, 5-1. It was the first route-going performance in 15 attempts this season for the 27-year old southpaw. The major league record for incomplete games is held by Yankee teammate Wade dubious distinction of being the only player thrown out of a major league game before he ever played in one.

As a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965, Kekich was thrown out of a game with the Astros by umpire Ken Burkhardt after making several choice comments from the Dodger bench.

Monticello To Host Tourney MONTICELLO-Monticello has been selected as host to the Babe Ruth Tour- Jv 7 I SPORTS FORUM Leo's Big Fan Sports Forum, I'm a little tired of everyone giving Leo Durocher all the blame everytime the Chicago Cubs go into a slump or make some mistakes which lead to losses. Nobody ever says that he is doing anything right even when the Cubs are winning, but just let them lose and Mr. Durocher laKes it irom all sides. I can understand the problems a big league manager must have with a bunch of players and even a good out and out spat with one of them or more isn't something unusual in any team it doesn I don't think the Cubs would have the big interest they do around here if it weren't for "The Lip" and I enjoy watching Cub games to see what Leo will come up with next.
