Actually, only the Mick worked out. He hit lefthanded and looked strong. Kog didn't even suit up. SO, ONCE again Ralph Houk has to go without one slugger or the other. They have yet to start the same game this year and the chances are that it will not be until the of next week that the manager will be able to make up a lineup which contains the names of both M's.

Actually, the manager wasn't there to do any deciding yesterday, so the players made their own decisions. Ralph's wife, Bette, underwent an emergency abdominal operation at 4 A. M. yesterday and the manager was at her bedside when the club worked out at 11 A. M.

THE REPORT from the hospital is that Mrs. Houk is resting comfortably, that there are no complications and" so the leader will be back on the bridge today to send Ralph Terry out to pitch against the Tribe's Dick Donovan. Mantle was free and frisky in the Stadium exercises. He took two batting- practice turns.

Second time around, Mickey let go with his full power. He crashed a long drive into the right field seats and hit other balls hard.

"ILL PLAY IF Ralph Lets me," Mickey said lightly. "I can bat lefthanded and I understand they're using righthanded pitchers. I haven't tried to bat right-handed." Maris was not so chipper. Rog took whirlpool and ultrasonic treatment for his injured left hamstring muscle. Then he went right back into street clothes.

THE DEFEAT, dropping the U.S. into a second-place tie with Mexico In the baseball competition with a 3-2 record behind Cuba's leading 4-1. brought a temporary halt to the string of triumphs by American athletes. They collected a total of 33 gold medals in other sports in the first six days of competition. In other afternoon events, the U.S.

water polo team defeated Argentina. 4-3, and Darlene Hard of Ixis Angeles won the bronze medal in women's tennis with a victory by default over Carole Caldwell of Santa Monica. Calif. Miss Caldwell left for home before the scheduled match. RONALD BARNES of Brazil scored a major upset to win the men's singles tennis crown in straight sets over top-seeded Mario Llamas of Mexico, 6-4, 6-0, 6-3.

Mexico's Yola Ramirez and Francisco Contreras won the mixed doubles gold medal by defeating Brazil's Maria Kueno and Thomas Koch, 6-2. 6-3. The Ll.S. never has won a Pan-American baseball title in three previous events but rated a fair chance to come through with a pick up team this year after refunding from its opening setback by the Cubans to three t-traiirht victories. Cuba won in the lt51 games, then the Dominican Republic and Mexico.

With three games still to be plnyed the Cuban team, still a subject of controversy over whether certain of its members have been professionals, is a strong favorite. HOHHY JENKINS, a rijrht pander from the I', of Missouri who had scored one earlier victory in the tournament, allowed only six hits. Between his two "bad" inninfS he retired 15 straight batters. Cuba scored twice on three hits in the second inning and another in the eiirhth. Determined to erase that earlier rout by Cuba, the U.S.

opened with a run in the first inning on a double bv third baseman Ferg Norton of Milton, a single by' center fielder Wilson Parma of Hutchins, and a wild pitch that scored Norton. That was the last major threat, however, as Verdura allowed only two more hits the rest of the way singles by catcher Charley Roys of Iverett, and Jenkins. Both came with two out in the fifth and the Cuban aca retired the next 13 in order. NFL Players' Lawyer Raps Lions' Fines Then There Were 2 Washington, April 26 (UPI).
