Cincinnati Regains Lead After Defeating Phillies The Lafayette College baseball team recently completed the 1956 season by hanging up the best record in the 85-year history of the sport at the Easton institution of learning. The Leopards won 21 games while losing only four in the campaign just ended with a pair of over their longtime athletic rivals, Lehigh. Offhand that may sound like just another set of statistics to some, -but to many it comes as an interesting bit of information for several reasons. Gelbert Coaches Leopards The chief reason for local interest in the accomplishments of Lafayette baseball teams is that Charley Gelbert, one of the all- time greats in Lebanon Valley College history, happens to be the head coach of the Leopards. In rounding out his llth season at the helm, the ex-LVC luminary boosted his winning record to 169 games while losing 81.

Oddly enough the Leopards, despite their alltime record season, failed to qualify for the NCAA District Two title they won several years handrunning, and did not compete in the NCAA finals at Wichita, Kansas this year. They won berths in the national collegiate title tourney several times in recent years. One Of LVC Greats For the information of younger readers who would not recall Charley Gelbert as of the greatest ail-around athletes to ever wear the colors of Lebanon Valley College, it can be reported that he had few a college athlete in football, basketball and baseball. Just by way of adding a bit of substantiation to that statement it can be noted that the Lebanon Valley College athletic records show that Charley Gelbert was a three-sport varsity letterman for four years in football and basketball and three in baseball. He won his at Annville in football 1924 and played on the teams in '1925-26-27 as first-string quarterback.

He made the basketball team in the 1924-25 season; and successively starred on the LVC cage teams in 1925-26; 26-27; and 27-28, to round out' a four-year ca- ieer in that sport. He made the baseball team as a freshman, and played shortstop in 1925-26-27, and the only reason he did not complete a four' year, twelve-letter career is because he left school in the spring his senior year to start a professional baseball career, where he again won recognition as a standout in thejbig time. Starred With Cards Charley Gelbert-made the jump from the college campus to the big time in short order, he made the grade with.the St. Louis Cardinals in 1929 after leaving college in the early spring oM927 He held, down the shortstop posi tion the four straight seasons, 1929-32; and during that span averaged .281 at the plate, and hit .304 in 1930 his best season. He played in his first World Series in 1930, and, while the Cardinals bowed to the Athletics, 4-2, the ex-LVC luminary led the Redbirds at bat with a .353 average in that series.

was with the Cardinals again 1931 when they topped the A's, 4-3, in a long series, but did not staf at bat that year. He did play through seven games without committing an error, however, as Pepper Martin, the "Wild Hoss of. the stole the show, with five stolen bases and a .500 plate average to beat the Athletics. Sidelined By Accident A hunting mishap in the fall of 1932 that almost cost him a sidelined Gelbert for three years, but he came back in 1935 play 62 games with the Cardinals and hit .292 while filling in at second base, third base and shortstop. And for that comeback after a long drawn-out recovery period that-lasted about two and one- half years, the onetime LVC great was honored by the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association at their 1936 banquet as the "Most Courageous Athlete" of 1935.

As one who witnessed.the presentation, it brought a great personal thrill to see a longtime friend so honored. That ill fated gunning mishap was destined, however, to cut short what definitely was a brilliant major career as shortstops were rated at the time and Charley Gelbert's bigtime The Associated Press Manager Birdie Tebbets, who learned to handle pitchers' as a catcher, has his Cincinnati Red- legs back in the National League lead by using a pattern that makes starters out of reliefers and reliefers out of starters. Birdie got the job done last night in a 7-4, 10-inning decision over the Philadelphia Phillies. He yanked Hal Jeffcoat out of the bullpen for a starting job, followed with ace reliefer Buster Freeman and then wound up with unbeaten starter Brooks Lawrence, who won his eighth. It was the second time Tebbetts has used Jeffcoat, the as a starter.

They moved to the top last night as the Milwaukee Braves pushed the Pirates into second them 3-2. No other NL games were scheduled. In the American, the New York Yankees retained their game lead as Mickey Mantle sent his 25th home run rocketing out of Detroit's Briggs Stadium to beat the Tigers 7-4. Chicago's second- place White Sox defeated Baltimore 5-2 and Kansas City clipped Washington 4-3. Jeffcoat's only other starting job this season was against the Phils June 7.

He didn't last, but the Redlegs won it and took over first place. They gave up the top spot to the Pirates last Tuesday. It looked as if they were going to get the back in a breeze last night, racing off to a 3-0 edge that included Ray Jablonski's 12th run. in the end, 1 homer-- happy Redlegs had to beat the Phils on singles. They clipped loser Harvey Haddix for four in a three-run 10th.

Roy McMillan's blooper over second drove in the tie-breaker. The Pirates fell half a game behind as the Braves scored the winning run on Dick Groat's third-inning throwing error. Warren Spahn pitched an eight-hitter for his fifth victory. Jack Shepard's two-run homer was the only weak mbment for Spahn. The Braves, who have won three straight for Fred Haney since he replaced Charlie Saturday night after a miserable 5-12 slump got all their runs off Ron Kline, starting after two days' rest.

Joe Adcock drove in two runs with a first-inning double. Mantle's two-on, eighth-inning blast broke a 4-all tie.

The Sox scored twice in the second off Bill Wight with a pair of infield outs after loading the bases.

The clincher came off Mike Fornieles in the seventh. Kansas City junked a three- game losing string and escaped the cellar with two runs in the first and two in the sixth to overhaul a 3-2'Senator lead.

Larry Dodson started that first Millard spurt with a single and Elmer Tobias followed with another one-base knock. An error put Bob Longenecker on base to load the sacks and in that clutch Johnny verea a run single.

Stan Anspach's pinch single again loaded the sacks, but Grubb then checked the uprising without further damage. Peters drove in another run with a sixth-inning and the Quarrymen then rounded out their win- with a four-run fling in the final frame. Art who took over the mound chores for the homesters in the seventh, was clobbered, for four runs on three hits in that one stanza. The win boosted the Millard lead to one full game over the second- place Palmyra Palms, while the loss dropped Hershey into a tie for third place with Myerstown.

FredHaneyOff To Running Start With Milwaukee PITTSBURGH M) Easy-going Fred Haney, who couldn't lift the Pittsburgh Pirates out of the National League cellar in three seasons, is off to a running start as manager of the Milwaukee Braves.

Haney's charges rang up their third straight victory last night, defeating the Pirates 3-2, since he took over the managerial Tdat's pretty good going for a team that prior to Sunday's dou- faleheader win over the Dodgers had lost 12 of its last 17 games. Haney hooked on with the Braves as a coach this season after being fired as the Pirate manager year, and wound up as Milwaukee's pilot with the resignation Saturday of Charlie Grimm. "It feels just like old times being back in Pittsburgh," Haney said. Obviously, he was referring to the surroundings and not the troubles "he experienced in 1953, 1954 and 1955 when the Pirates finished last under'him. Haney appeared confident of better things to come with the George Sarik Repeats As Jaycee Golf Champ George Sarik, Lebanon Country Club caddie who won the Lebanon Jaycee golf championship last year, repeatec his triumph yesterday in the annual one-day, 18-hole nieda play tourney on the Country Club course.

The tourney was open to Lebanon County boys under 18 years of age: The repeating champion posted He was with the Cardinals again in 1936, but went to Cincinnati for part of the 1937 season, and finished out the year with Detroit. After remaining out of baseball in 1938, he returned with Washington in 1939 for 68 games, and finally retired after dividing the 1940 season between the Senators and the Red Sox, and even pitched in relief while with the Senators that last season. That weakened leg simply couldn't stand the strain. His retirement from the game actively did not diminish the ex- LVC athlete's interest in the game he graced, however, as he keeps in. dose touch coaching, and in the summer period scours the bushes for prospective talent for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

And his beat includes the American Legion junior circuit in this sector of the stale.

Wilson, who did not pitch one of his better games in beating his old teammates last night, now has a D-3 record. Five of his victories have come since he joined the Sox. "I'd hale to think where we'd be today if it weren't for Wilson," said Manager Marty Marion, who was lauding the ddal in which he traded pitchers Connie Johnson arid i Fornieles, outfielder Bob Nieman and third baseman George Kell for Wilson and outfielder Dave Philley. "He's been a real saver, said Marion, who quickly added he didn't think Baltimore got the short end of the deal.

"It's one of those deals that have helped both teams," he said. Baltimore Manager Paul Richards concurred. In explaining the Orioles surge to the top of the second division, Richards said, "hit -ting has been the big help." Two been Nieman and Kell. Marion said Philley has been a iremendous help to the White Sox. Philley has hit safely in 10 of 26 games for the Sox and has .320 average since joining- the team.

Wilson wasn't too satisfied with himself after last night. "Let's face it," said the 34-year- old veteran, "I didn't have one of my better games. But that defense sure helped." He gave up seven hits and yielded five walks but never was in serious trouble.
