It was Henry's first four-hit game of the season and. tipped his average 31 points to .313.

In spring training, Aaron batted a jolting .552 against the world champs- and Alston commented, "What's more, he's likely to hit .552 all season. That fellow really is terrific."

The Cardinals ended a three-game' Pittsburgh winning streak 6-3 despite a. home run, -double and single by the Pirates' Dale Long, who gained the major league lead with a .111 hat mark.

Petersburg Native Will From Duties in Football To Enter Business Herbert B. (Neepie) native of this citv and former Pe- ersbu'rg High and Washington and gridiron star, will resign as coach at William fe Mary at the end of the school a to enter private bus iness. Miller expressed regret in severing his relations with Wil- 1 i a Mary where he has tutored the line for the last five Herb Miller a but explained that he was resigning "because greater opportunities for advancement in other 'fields." Jackie Freeman, athletic direc- and head football coach of the had no comment on Miler's action; Miller said it was a hard decision for him to make but he finally decided it to his best interest to resign before too many opportunities were lost. He said tie had no immediate plans, although he was considering several business offers. 'Breaking away from Coach Freeman and his staff members," he continued, "was a hard decision to make as we have become William and Mary is a fine school and I'll continue to its athletic association wherever possible." Miller, second 'in seniority on the Tribe staff to backfield coach Eric Tipton, attended William and Mary as a student in 1942 and returned in 1951 as an aide to Marvin Bass.

When Freeman was made head coach in 1952, Miller was retained and served as line coach, a lecturer in physical education, and assistant coach in track. As line coach, Miller generally given much of the'credit for helping develop the Tribe's recent outstanding defensive lines, including the' "Iron Indians" of 1953. Easygoing but an astute tactician, Miller first began coaching in 1950 when, he was named freshman coach at Washington and Lee, where he received his degree. Miller, son of Mrs. Carrie Miller, of this city, was married last June to Dorothy Arrington Lyons, of this city.

Miller will become the second member of the Tribe's staff to leave' recently, following track coach and trainer Bill Joyner who resigned last Wednesday. Like Joyn'or, i emphasized that his decision was entirely due to personal reasons. No successor to Miller or Joyner is likely to he named for a while, but reports indicate that Joe Mark, who was an assistant line coach at WM in 1953, might return; Mark, captain and all-Southern Conference blocking back at WM in 1950, has been serving for the past two years on the football staff at Vero Beach, High School.

The Washington Senators acted yesterday to -squelch talk that they're in financial difficulties and, in the face of dwindling attendance, are searching for a waj' out.

"Careless rumors," the club said in a carefully prepared statement prompted "by a California congressman's suggestion a Los Angeles put in a bid for Washington's American League rights. Club President-; Calvin Griffith and other members of the Griffith clan that owns controlling interest in the Senators collaborated on the statement.

Sources close to the club said Calvin-Griffith and his brothers and sisters inherited 1 Clark's" fierce love of baseball and of Washington as a place to play it. Clark Griffith, the Senators' long-time president, died last fall. Baseball is the only livelihood his successors have ever known a fact any aspiring buyer would have to take into account.

As the Senators have slumped on the last in the league in 1955 and only a half a game out of the cellar right now attendance also has declined. Last season they drew only 425,238 to hit low for both major leagues.

on a player-rebuilding program, the front office said it has found more interest currently among Senator fans than "ever before." It called Washington "a great baseball city" and concluded: "We are not opposed to major league baseball on the West Coast. We simply urge those interested to look elsewhere and not to Washington for their franchise."

KTCHMOND This is the time of year when an older man's thoughts sadly tiirn to the days "'of yore in -Virginia baseball. Seven seasons ago there were 21 professional teams operating in five leagues In the Old Dominion. Today there are just two teams -7- Danville anfl Richmond just' two Gone are the Class Piedmont and the Class Appalachian, Blue Ridge nnd Virginia Leagues. The fans killed professional baseball in most of Virginia. They quit coming to the games and there's no remedy for lack, of attendance.

In 1908, some 24,000 turned out to watch a Virginia League game between Richmond and Danville. This was more thnn five Appalachian clubs drew all of last glimmer in the loop's final campaign.
