i I THE CEDAR RAPIDS GAZETTE: April Diftmer Homers, but Braves Lose 2 (i Ecd Peppers By Gus Schrader CHICAGO (UP) Cincinnatisrwith a single in the first, then in tp hot Redlegs moved into St. poked a three-run homer in the A i iedar-wms'xomus dAil- OSt i If- fb i I third to put the Redlegs out front, 4-0. Singles by Bobby Adams and Roy McMillan accounted for two more runs in the seventh. An eighth Inning double by Joe Adcock and a ninth Inning triple by George Mctkovich were the big factors in Milwaukees scoring, Howie Judson, who left In the seventh, was the winning pitcher, and Chet Nichols, who departed in the third, was the loser. Cincinnati jumped off to a 3-0 lead in the first inning of the second game on a walk, a single, an error and doubles by Green-grass and Ted Kluszewski.

Greengrass singled in another in the third, and Rookie Catcher Ed Bailey homered in the sixth. The Braves got two In the fourth on two singles and doubles by Eddie Mathews and Adcock. Jack Dlttmer homered In the eighth. Dittmer also doubled. Mathews, 1953 major league home run king, shifted from third base to the outfield when Bill Bruton turned up with a 103-degree temperature.

Bud Podbielan, lifted in the eighth, was the winner, and Bob Buhl was the loser. The Cubs were in front 3-6 and Paul Minner had retired 18 men in a row when Wally Moon singled for the Cards in the seventh. Doubles by Stan Musial, Ray Jablonski and Peanuts Low-rey tied the score. Rpokie Joe Frazier was Walked, then Alston, rookie first baseman, cleared the bases on the first pitch thrown by Davis. Frank Baumholtz hit a pinch hopner for the Cubs in the seventh to complete the scoring.

Gene Baker also homered for the Wrigleys. Johnny 1 1 i who pitched to only Lowrey and Frasier, was the loser. Vie Raschl, relieved by Gerry Staley in the seventh, got the win. Card Manager Eddy Stanky and Utility Infielder Solly Hemus were thrown out of the game for too enthusiastically protesting a foul call on a long drive by Musial. The Phillies, who hsve been getting phenomenal pitching, swept to 6-0 and 7-1 victories over the Pirates as Robin Roberts scored his first victory with a four-hitter and Lefty Curt Simmons followed with a seven-hitter in the second game.

The Giants topped the Dodgers, 6-3, as Sal Maglie beat them for the second time. Earl Torgeson supplied Roberts with a three-run homer in the first inning of the opener at Philadelphia while Del Ennis was the big batsman in the second triumph, driving in five runs with two homers. For the 20th time and for the ninth time in a row at Ebbets field, Maglie subdued the Dodgers on a strong eight-hit job. Monte Irvin drove in four New York runs with a homer and two singles while Willie Mays also hit a homer. Duke Snider and Gil Hodges homered for Brooklyn.

1 Oaiclli photo Laurlo VonDrkt. BOOSTER WEEK OPENS Mayor Milo Sedlecek (center) has proclaimed this Cedar Rapids Indians Baseball Booster week. Two leagues, each with eight teams, are holding contest to see which can sell the most tickets for Indians games. Art Swerxentruber (left) end Art Story are heading the leagues. Hoosiers Grooming Ace Freshman rE BASEBALL BUO Is biting hard and deep, but lets take time out from the diamond news for a moment to look quickly around at some of Iowas football neighbors to get an idea of what to expect on the gridirons this fall, i 1 I' INDIANA.

The Hoo8iers nationally famous freshman back. Milt Campbell, apparently cleared the academic hurdles of the first semester and is being counted upon to give Indiana a shot in th arm this fall. Campbell, a decathlon star in track, can do a :06.2 or :08.3 in the 60-yard dash, but hes concentrating on football, where his quick-starting will be even more valuable to the Hoosier athletic plant. Campbell was second to Bob Mathias in the national and Olympic decathlons in 1952 and was U. S.

champ 1953. He is 6-3 and weighs 215 pounds. Coach Bemie Cfimmins plans on using him at right halfback, but he could play fullback or end with equal chance of success. Last fall Campbell played with the Indiana freshmen, and even though the rest of the yearling crop was not sensational, Campbell stood out with consistent gains against the varsity. Efftwnnw The Indiana football brochure says: dacghebty Campbell has lived up to his reputation.

His quickness, agility and great power, combined with startling speed, make him a top prospect for sophomore-of-the-year. Moreover, the 20-year-old sophomore is an intense competitor, willing and able to shoulder defensive duties. MICHIGAN STATE. Three of Michigan States famed Pony Backs have graduated, but the Spartans will be almost as light in the backfield this fall. Gone are QB Tom Yewcic, RH Billv Wells and FB Evan Slonac.

Along with LH LeRoy Bolden, 163-pounder, this quartet averaged just over 170 pounds. Likely replacements for the three missing ones are: QB Earl Morrall, 180 pounds; RH John Mat-sock, 170, and FB Jerry Planutis, 175. Hugh Daugherty, new head coach, has a sophomore back-field that is considerably heavier: Lou Costanzo, 185; Pete Man-zo, 180; Clarence Peaks, 188; Pat Wilson, 180, and Jim Bigelow, 165. MICHIGAN. Quoting Watson Spoelstra in the Sunday Detroit News: Fritz Crisler shrewdly estimates that Michigan has its best football potential in two or three years.

Bennie Oosterbaan concedes his team could be dangerous if new talent from a fascinating freshman squad solidifies several positions "Oosterbaan holds no comparable options. He has a truly fine halfback in Tony Branoff and an established quarterback In Lou Baldacci. In some quarters the notion exists that Branoff will switch to the key left-halfback job "It may develop that Michigan has assembled its finest end talent in more than a decade. "Up from the freshman ranks are six towering young men who stand six foot and taller and range from 190 to 210 pounds. Michigans center situation is so robust that John Morrow already has been shifted to tackle to pair with Art Walker.

The line offers lesser concern at Michigan. WISCONSIN. Wisconsin has had six practices so far while working to add the single wing to the formation and split-T Coach Ivy Williamson has used at Madison previously. The Badgers will play a final intrasquad game on May 22. Injuries have been few so far, but Tackle Jim Grosklaus, captain of last fall's freshman squad, has been put out of action for the rest of the spring.

No report yet as to whether Jim Miller the 1953 Quarter-back star, or Jim Haluska, the 1952 quarterback who sat it out last year with a broken leg, has won the top hand yet. ILLINOIS. Ed Lindbeck, who is the likely quarterback for Illinois Big Ten defending co-champs, is looking good as his junior season approaches. His big weakness as a passer last year was the way he kept wandering out of the pocket and losing his blocking Pr0tThe: IUinois coaches think Lindbeck is overcoming this fault, and that he can handle the defensive chores satisfactorily too. MINNESOTA.

The big revelation arrives at' Minnesota Monday. That ds when the Gopher football players leave the single-wing of Bernie Bierman and the combined T-single-wing-spread of Wes Fesler and go to the split-T of Murray Warmath. Warmaths No. 1 headache remains finding a split-T quarterback, and -his problems are complicated because 22 of his 80 reporting candidates are seniors. Twenty-one lettermen are back.

The spring game is May 23. Sorry, nothing of particular Interest available at the moment on Purdue, Ohio State arid Northwestern, but well try to cover them with spring-practice tidbits in the near future. Yanks Having Troubles As Tigers Lead League By Jack Hand. AP Sport Writer. The Yanks, struggling at .500, definitely do not look like rim-away pennant winners on their form for the first week of the nev season.

Left-handers baffle the Yanks. Detroit, geneially picked to bounce around the second division, is riRht up there at the head of the standings. Two spring training phenomt' failed in their American league debuts. The Yanks Bob Grim was knocked out and beaten by Washingtons Maury McDermott, 9-3. And Bostons Tom Brewer, who ran up a long string of scoreless innings in Florida, was chased by Philadelphia as the As won the first game from the Red Sox behind rookie Bob 6-4.

Jackie Jensens 13th inning homer gave Red Sox reliefer Ellis Kinder the second game, 4-3. "That's Better," Says Stanky of Cards' First Win By Tom Branagan. CHICAGO (AP) The St. Louis Cardinals finally broke the ice in the 1954 National league baseball season which, as Man Time Out! Really on him today, arent they? 500 Golfers Tour Ellis Over 500 golfers played the Ellis park links last weekend 289 Saturday and 221 Sunday.

The Collins employes golf league will open at Ellis Wednesday, May 5, and will continue each Wednesday the rest of the season. Collins golfers will tee off from 430 to 5:30 p.m. Bosox Win.

Stie power-laden Redlegs ned the Braves Sunday in both ends of an Eastern double header, 6-4 and 5-3. The victories gave Cincinnati a 4-1 record and installed them in a tie for the National league lead with Philadelphia. The Cardinals registered their first win of the week-old 1954 season, beating the Cubs 6-4 at Chicago in the only game of a double header that went to a decision. Tom Alston hit the first big league pitch thrown by Rookie Jim Davis for a three-run homer in the seventh to give the Cards their margin. The second game Was called after two inmngs because of darkness.

In the first game at Milwaukee, Jim Greengrass drove in a run Redleg Star Not Aware of .6 1 1 Average MILWAUKEE (AP) The hottest hitter in the major leagues today gave a simple answer to why hes off to a running start this spring. Theyre pitching em where Im swinging, said Jim Greengrass. The slugging Cincinnati outfielder boasts a .611 batting average but didn't know it unUl he was told. The 26-year-old Redleg left-fielder who was taken out of the. second game of Sundays doubleheader with the Milwaukee Braves after hurting his back on a slide into second base, is ruining National league pitchers with the season less than a week old.

Hes rapped 11 hits for 23 total bases in 18 official trips to the plate and driven in 12 runs. His production includes two home runs, six doubles and three singles. He hit .285 and drove in 100 runs last year, his first full season with the Redlegs, who acquired him from the New York Yankee farm system late in 1952. Minor Facts Pacific Coast League.

Indians Arrive At Terre Haute 8peela1 to ThD Oaxette.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. The Cedar Rapids Indians arrived here Sunday and encamped at the Terre Haute House while awaiting the Three-I league opener here Tuesday night against the Phillies. Manager Bill Prince said his starting pitching choice would be Ray Coombs, right-hander, unless Terre Haute shows up with a southpaw-dominated batting order. In that event Lefty Paul Schnieders will start. The batting order will be as follows: Carl Smalley, cf; Earl Bimel, 2b; Art Pennington, rf.

Wes Westfall, If; Bill Guice, lb; Bob Picciano, 3b; Emil Borgini, Ray Bellino, ss, and the pitcher.

(AP) Wes Santee Isnt going.

to let a little old thing like matrimony disrupt his plans for fast running in the Drake relays at Des Moines this weekend, Santee, University of Kansas senior who married his schoolmate sweetheart. Miss Danna Lou Denning, Sunday, said he would be working out with his KU relay teammates today. Santee, who holds the American mile record of 4:62.4. ran the second fastest mile by an American, 4:03.1 In the Kansas relays Saturday. The slim, choppy strider from Ashland, came back two hours iater to run a mile anchor in 4.12 seconds in the university distance medley.

Santee will devote his efforts in the Drake relays te the baton events. The Jay-hank team set a new world's mark of 3:20.2 for the sprint medley in the Texas relays. The Kansas relays also featured a worlds record betteryig 440-yard university relay team from Texas. The Longhorns made the short route in 40.3 seconds, two-tenths of a second faster than the world record held by Southern California. Tigers Didn't Impress Dykes BALTIMORE (AP) The Detroit Tigers are leading the American league today by virtue of beating the Baltimore Orioles three out of four, but Oriole Manager Jimmy Dykes still isnt convinced theyll prove more than a periodic troublemaker.

The same goes for his team which should win a lot of games and sui prise a lot of people although it has won only two of five so far. In both rases. Manager Dykes opinion revolves mostly around pitching. He doesn't believe Detroit has whst tt takes and that the Oriolei might. Detroit admittedly has hitting strength in the middle with Harvey Kuenn, Ray Boone and Walt Dropo, he said.

And those youngsters like A1 Kaline, Frank Bolling and Bill Tuttle are going to bother you. But youve got to' get superb pitching and I dont think they will. Take Steve Gromek for instance Even though he beat us 8-3 Sunday, he wasnt nearly as sharp as he was against us the first day Gromek shut put the Orioles on opening dayu Sunday, they got to him for nine hits and three runs.

Although Stanky was interested enough Sunday's activities tq get himself thrown out during the big seventh for debating too vigorously one of Umpire Abe Balianfant's decisions, its obvious that he and his Cardinals are still thinking about their showing Saturday. The Rrdblrd manager didnt go on record with his reaction to that display.
