big star and earned a sizeable fortune Tommy Bridges and Riggs Stevenson on the other hand went to college and also became stars and banked piles The excuse for returning to this matter however was an

Robinson are tied for second with 328 each Kell heads the junior circuit with a 342 mark-while Suder is runnerup at games In retaining his front-running position Schoendienst gained seven points during the week as he went 13-for-31 The switch-hitting second baseman suffered a groin injury Sunday in the first game of a doubleheader with Milwaukee But in the second game he re-turned to action as a pinch hitter and stroked a three-run home run to give the Cards a 4-1 victory Baumholtz who finished second to Stan Musial last season climbed in to a second place deadlock with Robinson The Chicago outfielder in advancing from seventh lifted his average 16 points by going 14-for-32 a 438 clip Robinson runnerup last week went six-for-23 and lost seven points Gus Bell lost three points and

bonus to sign up then and there In those days they were handing almost any young punk who could lift a bat $50000 or $100000 for his and his signatures Rechichar still going by the publicity handouts spurned the contract in favor of conning down here and doing football and completing his -education Meanwhile -the sews got aroundto the scents that vision was impaired The upshot was that there was no rush to sign him although he played outstanding baseball for Cy Yols So you see (if we agree to believe the publicity handouts on Bert) his decision to go to college cost him a small fortune Even had he faded in baseball after accepting the bonus still be well-fixed enough financially to start or buy into almost any sort of business he chose Dick Wakefield rides around in Cadillacs Up the pike

BEN HOGAN Fires 'Sub-Par 70 Veeck Says He Ask Shift Many of the big-time columnists give the credit for the success of the Yankees to the shrewd operations of the front-office People in there are in charge of the various farm clubs and of all trades or sales One deal for which most important in England or Scotland in a score of years produced some other excellent golf today None of the field played the gusty winds any better than Locke from Johannesburg Hogan of Fort Worth Tex and the Scot Panton Hogan US Open champion who is playing here for the first time was two under par for the first nine and was driving and putting excellently He fare so Veil on the income nine when he carded a 38 Some of his putts missed by inches but Hogan smiled as he completed his round felt pretty good out there The rain last night opened up the ground a bit making It easier to play second shots' When Hogan mounted the first tee about 3000 fans were waiting This is the place golf was invented and these people take the game more seriously than almost anywhere else in the world Hogan who swapped words with a photographer yesterday during practice was in a hugh humor for Hogan The usually sour little guy was actually smiling posing for amateur and professional photographers and cracking enough jokes to keep the crowd smiling Throughout his round he gave writers the impression all he wanted to do was get the necessary qualifying score He never Ipent much time sighting putts Relaxed or not on the first hole he started putting on a fine solid show He hit his second shot a 70-yard high pitch which the wind rattled but did not damage to within two feet of the pin He' sank the putt for a birdie On the second he went a stroke over par when he chipped out short over rough and high tiger grass Throughout the remainder of the outbound nine the US National Open and master champion either got pars or better than pars He was putting well but 'not with his usual spectacular flare and generally his game was perfectly sound As usual he made no tactical errors Royal Bay Gem be both have to be carried out of the ring Falls mean The contestants will be Herb and Roy Welch Southern Tag Team champions and Karl Kowalski and Pat Malone Red Roberts will defend his junior heavyweight title against Chick Garibaldi and Lee Fields undefeated in 11 straight matches will meet Rex Mobley in other they probably do not horse to take a bow is the one that ri t-i brought Eweu Blackwell to New York The Yapks gave about jo COPCS JucISy three athletes the Jim MonmoutliW in PHILADELPHIA July 6 Ewell attempted baseball comeback ended in failure today as the New York Yankees' towering righthander went into voluntary retirement Blackwell hose sizzling offerings earned him a variety of nicknames Including buggy left the slumping Yanks to pick up his wife in New York and then head for Tampa Fla and at least temporary exile from the major league world The Yanks have much to say at the departure they had enough troubles of their own and what does another baseball player say in a situation like that? Even the normally loquacious Casey Stengel was terse to an extreme just decided it hurt too much when he tried to throw said the Yankee manager hopes a long rest will solve his QUIET FADEOUT quiet fadeout was a far cry from his heyday with the Cmcinnati Reds now the Red-legs Ewell was the bane of National League batters when he racked up 22 victories In 1947 on a Cincinnati ball club that finished fifth with only 73 wins all told The lanky hurler had been hampered by a sore arm all of the current season He was acquired by the Yankees last August in their drive toward the American League pennant after being waived out of tbe National loop The Blackwell deal sent four players pitchers John Schmitz and Ernie Nevel and outfielders Jim Green-grass and Bub to Cincinnati along with $35000 in cash Blackwell contributed only one victory in five appearances on the mound for club during the 1952 season He was banged for four runs in one World Series chore but Yankee pitching Coach Jim Turner felt at the time he showed PHYSICALLY PLAGUED Plagued with physical complaints this year Blackwell hurled 19 23 innings before his retirement and was credited with two victories against no defeats The 30-year-old righthander said he would rest at Tampa until next spring and then try once more with the Yanks Always a stickler for good conditioning he showed up at St Petersburg Fla last March weighing 210 pounds more than- 20 over his normal figure and said he felt better than ever There was no doubt that Stengel counted on him to help the Yankees win their fifth straight pennant And the gloom that marked farewell to the club today was a symbol of the general feeling of the moment A few short weeks ago 11 games ahead of the second place Cleveland Indians the Yankees are now a relatively slim 5 in front of the Chicago White Sox To take the Yankees called dp Lefthander Art Shall ock from Kansas City of the American Association where he had a record of nine wins against

proposed shift of the baseball club to Baltimore at a meeting of American League Club owners In Cincinnati next Monday Veeck who was turned down -in his bid to move the club last March said is not on the official agenda and we plan to bring it However Veeck said it was possible for other club owners to broach the subject after the meeting gets under way Veeck said he know whether this would be done or not Asked if he would speculate on whether the club owners would approve a franchise shift if it was brought up at the meeting Veeck said: I guessed once and guessed wrong" Veeck said he planned to "go through the season and see what The Browns have only drawn $191755 at the gate this year for 39 home games Last year at this time 306954 persons had passed through the turnstiles Veeck
