FRED LASSIE ROY ACOSTA vs. GYPSY JOE DON McCLARITY vs. OINO ANQELO 1 Other All-Star Matehrt CITY AUDITORIUM Hoyt Wilhclm of Baltimore, another journeyman right-hander, is right behind Fischer with a 1.46 scorecard. And he has a 3-0 record. Cleveland's Cal McLish, also 3-0, is third at 1.50.

He is followed by New York's Whitey Ford, last year's ERA champ, with 1.36 and Boston's Tom Brewer at 2.40. Chicago rookie Bob Anderson OTHER SPORTS-BIU Boland, Bill Hartack and Willie Shoe-maker, each says he will ride Sword Dancer in the Preakness Saturday. Official word probably won't come until after trainer Elliott Burch confers with Brook-meade owner Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloan. Joseph Netro, co-manager' of fighter Carmen Basillo, was charged with evading $2,666 in state income taxes in New York.

0 "Well, I will tell you," said the Yankee manager, "I got a little concerned Sunday in the first three innings when I saw the three players I had gotten rid of and I said when I lost nine what am I going to do and when I had a couple of my players. "I thought so great of that did not do so good up to the sixth inning I was more confused but I finally had to go Antonelli (2.60) are behind Haddix in the National parade. TRADE Cleveland swapped third baseman Randy Jackson to the Chicago Cubs for Riverboat Smith, southpaw pitcher who will be farmer to San Diego. Jackson was expandable because of Woody Hrld'i sharp play and presence of Gene Leek, (1.92), San Francisco's Jack San- ford (2.14) and the Giants' Johnny From Press Plipatrhes Harvey Haddix and Bill Fischer, two much-traveled pitchers, appear ready to settle down with their new clubs if the. early battle for the earned run titles in the big leagues is any indication.

Pittsburgh's Haddix leads the National League with an ERA mark of 1.86. Washington's Fischer tops the American at 1.06, it is revealed by AP figures that-include Monday games. Haddix, obtained from Cincinnati last winter, has allowed only five earned runs in 24 in Caser Steniel JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION WANT ADS PAY OFF Did he think, Kelly was asked, that the Yankees performance indicated a mass depression. He replied: "1 would nay that thnir ablagate of crazam has made the players very stromd, where their base hits are clabnating in opposite draz, which is responsible for so much kalban. Many of the players feel that their prazen is bllmped with too much fcrozens.

And how can you blame them?" Could he make that clearer? "They're in seventh place, they can't be depressed much further." In an effort to get back to psychology, the interviewer asked if Kelly thought their showing had damaged the players' ID. He said: "To a great extent Skowron did not ID It, and Richardson and Lumpe not only didn't ID it, but made too many stavnids. It would have been very appropriate if Stengel himself had ID it, but he was busy with the other fellow and you can look It up." When asked if he anticipated any permanent psychological scars from the Yankees' poor start, Kelly said: "Actually there is little doubt that at the close of the season most of the players will be so haznicated and proznit with their self macador that they will be manistalling witerment in their thinking of today." Could he state that another way? "The Yankees should win the pennant easily." ATLANTA Continued From Page good fortune than lusty hitting. Maury Lerner lived on a scratch single to open the inning, as his grounder to shortstop took a bad hop. Hendley, trying to sacrifice, forced Lerner at second.

Jiave to tell you that I think we are more the Greta Garbo type now from success." On the day of the hearing, the Yankees were leading the American League by 11 games. To. day It's a different story. The Yanks are in seventh place and everyone, it seems, has an opinion as to what is wrong with them.

Al Kelly, the double-talking comedian who is the only baseball fan who can understand Sten-gelese and reply in kind, is no exception. Kelly, a frequent after-dinner speaker at iports functions, made his views known in an interview that attempted to learn if the Yankees' slump had psychological ramifications. fUfcl' II fill I I ff I I 1 I I fl at 1 rf-v fv i mm mm ii fi. iiiiiiHH Poochie Hartsfield, who has hit safely in all five games he has ONLY PRICE NO ONE UPS PRICE 11 I i Ui IIB' nings.
