FELLER LOSES CONTROL The Giants couldn't do anything with Feller for the first three innings despite the fact the AL fire-bailer was lobbing 'em up. But, in the fourth, Hofman led off with his second straight single and then Rapid Hobcrt lost his aim, with the result that the base became loaded on walks to Lock man and Gordon. Mize produced the first of four runs with a single. Thomson two more with a duuble and Cooper another with an infield chop single. Kerr fanned for the second time and Jones ended the merry-go-round with a lift to right.

During Feller's last turn, the fifth, liurocher's sluggers picked up two additional markers, though one was set up by Kennedy's loot of Lockman's single to right.

Babby, pretty angry at this stage, started firing for the first time and easily disposed of Mize, Thomson and Marshall. Jones was constantly in hot water from the time he delivered his first pitch, which Thurman Tucker drove for three bases. The Indians got one this time, threatened' in the second and again in the third when Sheldon was saved by double plays. The Tribe could get only one in the fourth out of a walk and two singles when Feller ended a rally by whacking into another twin-killing. Boudreau hit over the left field wall for a third Cleveland run in the fifth.

With one gone, the Indians started after Available aain. Rosen, Kennedy and Hogan singled in succession. Those, together with a questionable decision at second my power.

While the waiter retreated, with assurances that he would return with an unused slice of lemon, Connors continued the flashback of his career, if the gentlemen of the press would pardon the expression: "Born in Bay Ridge, that's Brooklyn, you know. I'll be 25 this Sunday.

Went to Adelphi Academy, then Seton Hall: that time on a baseball scholarship. Played on that great baseball team, you know, with Davies, Holm Ruthenberg, Fisher and Connors. After I got out of the Army, went with the Celtics. That was the best deal I ever made. Got $5,000 for the season, even though I missed the last 20 games to go to Spring training."

Yes, Kevin Connors would be only too frlad to receive the gentlemen of the press for his arrival interview. Would the gentlemen of the press care to join him in the coffee shop, inasmuch as he had flown up from Vero Beach, and hadn't arrived at and Edwards' pinch-groundout for Feller gave the world champs two tallies. The blow-up which caused Durocher to get bounced came on Hegan's hit to left.

Lockman picked up the ball, threw into third trying to head off Kennedy, didn't, and Gordon relayed to Hofman who put the ball on Hegan. Berry had a tough job watching the plays at both bases and called everybody safe. Leo blew his top, stomped around with his nose in the AIj ump's face, and was finally ordered off the premises. After Cooper fired one of Gar-cia's serves beyond the left-center barrier to give Jones a 7-5 lead in the sixth, the Indians came back with two in the seventh to knot it.

Say, when you write about my playing in Cuba last Winter, put down that I led the league in runs-batted-in. I'll probably never lead another league again. Got 58 in 64 games.

CHANGED GLOVE STYLE The waiter brought the fresh piece of lemon, and Connors said: "I hope this doesn't upset the month's inventory." Everybody was pretty well sold on his ability to hit. The records show that he hit .307 at Montreal last season, and hit 18 homers, but what about this rap against his fielding? "I always could field pretty well," Chuck insisted. "I was a one-handed guy.

Then Hopper made me change to two hands up at Montreal last year, and I had trouble. I'll tell you one thing; if I last long enough to open the season at Brooklyn, I'm going to take that bag home with me after the first game. Nobody's going to take it away from me."

Then what? "Well, after about four months there. I was at West Point for three years, as tank instructor for the Cadets." The waiter set a glass of tomato juice, with lemon slice in front of Connors. Chuck looked at the dehydrated slice of lemon, and said to the waiter: "Either somebody used this yesterday, or I'm losing.
