The Progress-Index from Petersburg, Virginia • Page 15

News Tuesday, July 2, 1963 JACK FULP, Sports Editor RE 2-3456 IS A' i By JACK Sports Editor Tyler Anxious To Start nobhy Tyler, Ihe new Petersburg High foolbull coach, isn't a man whose first look imlomnUcalLy Is on he dark side of Ihe ledger Although if outwardly took too much of nn optimistic, look at Ihc prospects this close to the start of foolbntt drills, he probably would be drummed out of the society of football coaches, he doesn't view with complete alarm the outlook for this fall's Wave lemn. A look, however, at some of the losses, particularly at tackle and end, is enough to rmikc a real worrier out of just about the most optimistic member of the coach- IIIR fraternity. Depth problems are there for most of the high school coaches, and when such fellows as tackles Buck Maddra nnd Larry Wray, and ends Harrison Finney and Tommy Jones, all first line men, are lost, then there is something of a problem in filling: Ihc holes left in the outer regions of the line. Despite this and oilier losses of a vital nature, including both of the top quarterbacks, Danny Hopkins and Powell, Coach Tyler is looking forward to the start of work Augucsl 23. The August 23 start Is permitted because August 25, Hie normal starting lime for high schools in (he Central District, falls on Sunday this year.

Coach Tyler, who says he hopes to be over here to stay by July 15, has been visiting, nlong with Mrs. Tyler, hunting for a home, so that he can be completely settled and ready to swing into Ihe loot- hall job full force by the lime the rules permit him to start. He also has been looking at some of the records, and has learned to his sorrow that some of the boys won't be around when practice starts because of the rule which requires that a player, to be eligible, must pass four subjects. "Desire" Is the item he wilt be looking for first, and he stressed that "those boys who show that they want to play will be the ones who will be doing the playing." He said he was very much Impressed with the turnout when he visited the school late in the term, and also with the altitude of the boys he has met. "I think we will do all right," he said in an almost optimistic manner.

Gary Boklnsky, Robert Wells and Hill Aden were the only interior linemen lost, and the Wave will be somewhat better off in the hack- field as far as returning players are concerned. Bobby Harris, who saw considerable action al quarterback, Is a promising prospect at that position, and it will be hard to find a better defensive back than little Forest Tucker, who makes up In hustle and desire for his lack of heft. Richard Ramsey Is one of the better all round backs in the district. He Is a hard runner, does an excellent job of punting and place kicking, and is a standout defensive man. Another fine prospect is halfback BUI Davis, who missed all of last season with a bad knee, but has had an operation since that time and hopes that the knee will be ready for a strenous fool- ball campaign.

He had been figured on as a starling halfback last year by Coach Bv.b Howard before being sidelined by the knee troubles. Coach Tyler also is impressed with the prospects of halfback Bobby Erli, who moves up from the Jayvees, where he was a standout running last year. Absent will be such fine running backs as Jimmy Moneymaker, Jack Beck and David Griffin, but returning at fullback is Bill Hudson, a first line man last year, and a couple of good backs, Bobby Bowman and Frank Durham. A much more definite line can be given after the boys report August 23, but as of now it appears that the Wave will have a pretty fair nucleus, and some good prospects also are expected from last fall's junior varsity, which had a fine season. Vees And Leafs Split Holiday Bill In Toronto The Richmond Virginians rallied for all six of their runs of Ihc find game and of the night in the first three innings as they gained a 6-4 win in the first game of the Dominion Day doublehcader with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but lost the nightcap, 1-0.

The Vees got fair hitting in the opener and went on to take Ihc win behind the nifty three-hit pitching of Mel Stottlemyre to assure themselves of a split. Sparky Anderson led off Hie Maple Leafe half of the seventh with a shot that was branded homer from the time it left Anderson's bat and with it went another Vees' loss and their 10th shutout loss of the season. Bob Meyer had pitched shutout ball for the first six innings and Anderson's home run was only the fourth hit off of Meyer, Larry Maxie went the distance in returning a three-hitter back at the Vees in picking up his third win of the season, while Mover was taking his third loss without a win. Ron Solomini and Joe Durham set the pace in the Vees' eight- hit attack in the first game with two. hits each, but Don Buddin's triple was fche only extra base hit.

Tomorrow night the Vees will bring the Maple Leafs to Parker Field for a three-game visit, and tonight will wind up this road trip with Ed Merritt opposing had the most rest next Tuesday. Steve Ridzik. The Indianapolis Indians, hottest team in the International League with a seven-game winning streak, are gaining steadily on Atlanta's Southern Division leading Crackers. The Indians whipped the Crackers 4-2 Monday to pull within games of Atlanta. They trailed by six games a week ago.

Northern Division leader Syracuse kept Rochester from pulling into a first place tie by blasting the Red Wings 6-3. Arkansas swept a doubleheader from Buffalo 8-4 and 5-2. Jacksonville edged Columbus 6-5. (KlltST A I all I) 111 Clai'ke, ss 5 1 0 0 Yanks' Rookie May Get Nod BOSTON (AP)-Yankee yearling Jim Bouton or crafty Jim Bunning of Detroit will be the likely All-Star game starting pitcher for the American League and "The Radatz --rates probably finisher. President Joe Cronin announced the complete American League squad Tuesday, including New York manager Ralph Houk's seven mound selections for the July 9 classic at Cleveland.

Only Bunning and Ken McBride of Los geles among the hurlcrs have seen previous All-Star action. Jim (Mudcat) Grant of Cleveland, Boston Red Sox rescuer Radatz plus southpaws Steve Barber of Baltimore and Juan Pizarro of Chicago complete the pitching choices. "Hoak hasn't said a word to me about his starting pitcher but iJ will definitely be a Cronin said after glancing at the right-handed-packed Nationa League dineup. Only Cardinal firs baseman Bill White and Gianti catcher Ed Bailey hit from the left side. One AL spokesman felt Bouton would get the starting nod off 10-3 record and 2.45 earned run Another leans tow-arc Bunning who has only a 4-9 mark this season but is working on an eight-inning scoreless streak in All-Star play and has a 1.50 ERA for 12 frames.

The eight All-Star players voted nto starting berths by their fel- ow athletes will open the game with the exception of injured New York centerfielder Mickey Mantle. Alfoic Pearson of Los Angeles is his place.

Otherwise it's Detroit's Al Ka- linc and LA's Leon Wagner in the oulfield with Minnesota's Earl Battey behind the plate. The in- Field regulars are Yankee Joe Pcpitone at first, old pro Nellie Fox of the White Sox at second, the Twins' Zoilo Versalles at short and Boston's Frank Malzone at third. Hpuk followed the second choices of the players except at first base where he picked Norm Siebern of Kansas City instead of Boston's Dick Stuart. He also a third catcher, Don Leppert of Washington, and outfielders Harmon Killebrew of Minnesota and Tom Tresh of the Yankees. Williams Back In Feature Role As Yank Hurler By JIM HACKLEMAN Associated Press Sports Writer Stan Williams, who quickly went from featured performer to bit player in the New York Yankees' cast of characters this season, is back in the spotlight--taking bows.

The huge right-hander was the star of the show Monday night as the Yanks took another forward step in their drive for 'the American League pennant, almost singlehandedly wrecking the Boston Red Sox in a 7-5 Bomber victory. Williams came on in relief in the fifth inning, stifled a big threat blasted a decisive triple in the bottom of the inning, and turned the Red Sox back the rest of the way with a superb job of pitch Podres' 5-Hit Job Closes GaplnN.L By MIKE RATHET i Charlie James, a ground out and Associated Press Sports Writer Bill White's single, but then Johnny Podres doesn't take checked the league-leaders until many bows.

It was the first standout performance in some time by Williams, who was a front-line starter for the Yanks, as the season opened after being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers for first baseman Bill Skowron. He made an auspicious debut for the Yanks, beating Baltimore 5-1 with a five-hitter in the first week of the campaign, but as the season progressed, Williams' pitching slipped, and eventually he became a supernumerary in the bullpen. He had last won on May 4 and had last appeared in a winning game on May 11--and carried a 2-3 record. Williams squared that with a brilliant effort against the Red Sox. By winning, the Yankees made it four in a row over Boston and pushed games ahead of the runner-up Chicago White Sox.

In the only other AL game on ithe schedule, the Kansas City Athletics jumped out to a 5-0 lead against Baltimore and wound up with a 6-4 decision over the Orioles.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)--Hugh-! ie Critz slammed to center, Joe Moore scored from third and the New York Giants, 30 years ago today, beat She Gas House Gang of St. Louis 1-0. It was a game which winning pitcher Carl Hubbell can never forget.

For that duel on a warm afternoon before a huge crowd at the Polo Grounds lasted 18 innings and not one Cardinal reached first base on a walk. Only six got hits and 12 went down on strikes. "It probably was the greatest game I ever pitched," recalled Hubbell, who has directed the farm system operations for the Giants ever since he pitched last in 1943. "Frankie Frisch hit a couple of foul balls into the stands and so did Joe Mcdwick. I had a little anxiety until those balls landed because they were in the seats and would have been home runs if fair." Now 60 and a member of Baseball's Hall of Fame, the left-handed Hubbell won acclaim and 253 games with his screwball thai particularly baffled right-handed hitters.

Hubbell vividly remembers the last of the 18th inning. Jesse Haincs was pitching for the Cardinals in relief of Tex Carleton who had worked 16 scoreless frames. "We got two on and one out anc I was the batter. I hit a little grounder they tried to turn into a double play, but the ball wasn't hit hard enough, so I was on first.

The game lasted about 3 hours, 0 minutes. The Giant, who only tied for ixth the previous season, went on win the pennant and beat Vashington in the World Series, our games to one, as Hubbell itched two of the triumphs. Relaxing in his office at San "Vancisco's Candlestick Park, the iiants' home now, Hubbell said he didn't tire during that 18-inning lint. "You don't notice it during the course of such a game.

All that ension builds up nervous energy. About an hour after the game, I noticed it all right. That's the ongest I ever pitched." Williams came on for Jim Bouton in the fifth with one run in, one out, two on, the score tied, at 5-5--and got Dick WilHams to hit into a double play. On the pitching side, he allowed only one hit in 4 2-3 innings--a double by Lu Clinton in the ninth. On the hitting side, he smacked a triple in the last of the fifth, that sent in the go-ahead run and then scored himself on Tony Kubek's single.

The Yanks raked three Boston pitchers for 17 hSts, four of them by Phil Linz and three each by Clete Boyer and Kubek. Jack Lamabe was the loser, suffering his first loss in five decisions. Kansas City rapped Oriole rookie Dave McNally for four runs in the first three innings, then went ahead 5-0 on Wayne Causey's homer off Ike Delock in the fourth. Baltimore made it close with three unearned runs against winner Dave Wickersham in the eight, but reliever Moe Drabowsky stopped that rally, and John Wyatt put on the finishing pitching touches for the A's after Drabow- sky walked two Orioles in the The Cardinals, meanwhile, lost to Houston 4-3 in 11 innings on Rusty Staub's key single. It was the Colts sixth victory in their last seven extra inning games, all won by relief specialist Hal Wood- eshick.

In other games, fourth-place Cincinnati showed its home run punch in edging third-place San Francisco 4-3 and Pittsburgh and Philadelphia split. The Pirates won the opener 24 before the Phillies took the nightcap 8-1. New York's Mets and the Chicago Cubs were idle, games on the AL schedule. The Dodgers moved ahead 1-0 on Frank Howard's 12th homer in the second inning but Gene Oliver, who also came to the Braves in the Burdette trade, tied the score with a homer off Podres in the fourth. It stayed that way until the ninth when Maury Wills singled, stole second and eventually came around on Moon's hit following an intentional walk to Jim GUliam.

Sadowski had retired 14 me in a row when Wills hit one up the middle.
