Cincinnati San Fran. Houston San Diego ROLFE Continued from Page 29 And that was how Rolfe who already had tried to enlist in the U.S. Marines and been rejected for poor health became baseball coach at Yale. Three seasons and 56 victories, 17 defeats later the Yankees sought Rolfe as coach. In fact, for some time, they had been seeking him.

But this time the doctor said that, without the strain of actual playing, he could go. The season of '43 found Red thanks to Cornell man Billy Evans farm director of the Tigers. In '49, he was their manager. In '50, Rolfe's Tigers made their historic bid to tumble the Yankees, a drive that in mid-September faltered in a sort of team-exhaustion. In '52, the team suddenly was old.

The Kalines and Kuenns had not yet arrived to replace them. In-mid season, Rolfe was replaced by Fre4 Hutchinson. Those who were there remember Roli'e, stunned, shaking hands with Hutchinson, wishing him luck. Career No. 2 coaching-managing was over.

Then he became athletic director at his college, Dartmouth. "Football coaching was the main problem. It's a young man's game the work of coaches and assistant coaches. I brought in Bob Blackman. None of us regrets it." Through the years, he had been cursed by colitis.

Two years ago, surgery a colostomy became necessary. It would require extensive absence from work. So he retired at Dartmouth. He underwent the operation, then bought the home on Governor's Island. Now 60, he fishes, golfs, cruises around the lake, looks after the lawn and trees, contemplates an ex-, tension to the a sort of office." Says Rolfe: "At last we have a chance to do soma reading." Red likes biographies, recently read those of Alfred DuPont and Winston Churchill.

"Isabel and I both have just finished Irving Stone's Those Who the life of John and Abigail Adams." Oh, yes, Rolfe's "fourth career." That came about definitely by accident this past Winter. Mr. and Mrs. Rolfe were all set to depart for Flori- Today's Games and Probabli Pitchers (Won and Lost Recordi In Parentheses) "We got our chance to make a mechanical adjustment when we sent Wood in to pitch for one inning of re-lief during a 9-1 loss to WILBUR WOOD Washington. He did just fine then and we knew his prob- lem.was solved." was apparent last night when Wood, who learned his baseball pitching at Belmont High, came in and smothered a serious Red Sox threat by getting Dalton Jones and Carl Yastrzemski to hit harmless pop flies to shortstop Luis Aparicio in the ninth inning with runners occupying second and third base.

Thanks to the fact Wood's knuckler was floating over the plate again, the White Sox were able to preserve a 6-4 win. Hoyt Wilhelm, the master of the knuckler, "taught Wood how to control pitch when Wilbur realized that his fastball wasn't good enough to keep him in the majors.

Gordon and Tallis are, respectively, manager and general manager of the Kansas City Royals.

But, shortly before they were to leave, Mrs. Rolfe slipped on and icy walk. She fell and broke her right shoulder in three places a painful accident. So they not only abandoned their trip to Florida, but the former Yankee third baseman perforce became the family housekeeper. Red cooked the meals, washed the dishes, vacuumed the rugs, and performed the myriad tasks of which most husbands are unaware.

"I think by now," Rolfe said, "I could become a pretty good chef that is, if I had my wife on hand to tell me what to do." Major League Leaders Associated Preti Ted Happy With Senators Relief Corps AMERICAN BATTING 100 at batsi Carew. Petrocelli. F. Robinson, Murcer. N.Y..

"They're both outstanding," added Williams. "Cox said he felt good, but we were ready. This is the most he's pitched since Cleveland ebout six weeks ago (83 innings) and he made some bad pitches but got away with it. And Higgins sure did hi Job." The Royals hopped on Washington starter Frank Bertaina for four runs in the first two innings, including Juan Rios' first major league home run leading off the first inning. Cox relieved him after the Royals scored three runs in the second and checked Kansas City on four singles until successive doubles by pinch hitter Ed Kirkpatrick and Rios chased him in the ninth.

"All I know is that we've been having a rough time with pitchers coming through in short relief" observed Gutteridge, "and now that Wood has come back, he's going to help us a lot." Gutteridge, the new White Sox manager, was a utility infielder with the 1946 pennant-winning Red Sox.

On the White Sox coaching staff are former Braves players Tony Cuccinello (second base), Kirby Farrell (first base), Ray Berres (catcher). And don't forget coach Less Moss (catcher) formerly of the Red SINGE-LAIS Third baseman Jim La-neau had a homer, triple and double leading Supreme's 17-hit rampage, with Chuck Chevalier and Paul Costello also getting three hits apiece. Supreme manager Huck Geary has both Joe Elliott and Dick Hill ready to work, while John Rotman of the Serlins expects to start Dickie Goodman.

The John P. Craven Club will be battling to retain its share of the league lead as it hosts the Connolly Club at Fallon Field. Connolly spilled the league leaders last-night, 6 to 2, behind the strong three-hit pitching of Jim Hampe. Mark Driscoll and Tete Duhamel drove in two runs each. The Bnb Woolf Club, defending champion of the league, gained a tie for first as it downed Serlin 4 to 0, behind the impressive three-hit pitching of New Hampshire's Dana Pratt.

Harmon Killebrew smashed a three-run homer with two-out in the fifth inning and Jim Kaat pitched a six-hitter to pace the Twins over the Yankees. Bobby Cox hit his first homer of the season for the Yankees in the third inning.

capped the night's scoring with an eighth-inning homer, his 12th of the season and 522d of his career. It pushed him past Ted Wil-lams into fifth place on the all-time homer list. Atlanta's 10-hit attack, which included four singles by Sonny Jackson, helped unbeaten George Stone record his sixth victory; He needed relief help from Cecil Upshaw, who worked the last three innings. Jerry Koosman hurled a five-hitter as the Mets tripped the Dodgers and reached the .500 mark once again with their fifth consecutive triumph. Jerry Grote's wind-blown pop fly brought home the first run in the fourth and Al Weis followed with a run-scoring double.

He walked the first man he faced, loading the bases and then gave up a sacrifice fly to Lou Piniella for the second out.

Higgins then got Chuck Harrison to hit into a force play at third to end the game and preserve Cox' victory. "Everything's a thrill," Williams said of the Royals' belated rally which pulled them within one run of tying. "None of them re easy." Massive Frank Howard lashed three hits for the Senators and scored four runs, raising his batting average to .293. "I said all Spring he, Howard, could be a .300 hitter," Williams said. "All he's got to do is lay off the bad pitches." Elsewhere In the American League, Minnesota shaded New York 3-2, California San Diego, shaded Philadelphia 6-4.

The San Francisco--Montreal and Cincinnati-Pittsburgh games were washed out while the Chicago Cubs and Houston were not scheduled. Cepeda agreed that It was a "fine homecoming" after helping send the Cards to their 17th home setback in 23 games. And then he came up with a line which St. Louis fans who cheered many of his 61 homers and 257 runs batted in over the past three seasons may find hard to believe- "I don't like hitting here," he said of Busch Stadium.

Perhaps it's because the Senators have lost 11 one-run games and Williams had to suffer through a 16-13 defeat at Seattle earlier this season. He's grown to appreciate those late-inning stoppers.
