The Gazette and Daily, York, Friday Momin9. May 10. 1957 -45 The SCOREBOARD Herb Score Shows Improvement But Is Placed On Disabled-List think of one or two, ball games, but only of the future health and welfare of one of baseball's best performers." With pitcher Bud Daley, whom the Tribe recalled from San Diego yesterday, Cleveland has 28 players on its roster, not counting Score, and three of these rriust be cut next week to meet the player limit. Doctors still were unable to say yesterday whether Score could see better from the right eye which a line drive by New York's Gil McDougald struck in last Tuesday hight's game here. The 23-year-old pitching ace has been able to distinguish light from dark, doctors have said, and he continues to improve at Lakeside hospital.

Newsmen and other visitors still were barred from his darkened hospital room, but Dr. Charles I. Thomas, an eye specialist, and Dr. Don Kelly, team physician, issued this report: The swelling around his injured eye and broken nose "has been reduced and in general he looks better today." His condition is "slightly improved" and "at this time there appears to be no other complication." X-rays "will be postponed for the next day or so." "We don't want him to move or talk very much because we don't know the condition of the retina and there is always the danger of detaching it," said Dr. Thomas.

"As soon as I can see the retina clearly I can tell you pretty much what the prognosis (medical forecast) will be. I may not be able to see it, though, for two or three more days because of the hemorrhage." Reports so far indicate that Score will be able to see out of t'ae injured eye the question is how much. If examination shows no retinal detachment, he could be released from the hospital quite soon, Dr. Thomas said. Gil McDougald, the New York Yankee infielder who hit the ball which injured Score, said the young pitcher had sent him a mesage by Dr.

Kelly. "It was a personal rib. It made me laugh and feel he's getting better," McDougald said.

The visitors were hard-pressed, however, to fight off a last-inning rally by the Bearcats who tallied three times to pull within one run and had two runners on the base-paths with two outs before being retired. Steelton's victory enabled it to remain only a game and one-half behind Hershey's pacesetters.

Steelton is 7-3 in league play; Hershey is 8-1. The Chocolate-town team blanked Milton Hershey, 4-0, Lancaster nipped John Harris, 10-9, and Lebanon's defending titleholders stifled -Harrisburg Penn, 3-1, in other games yesterday. Bob Kritchen singled to open the York seventh. Dale Hamm went out but the locals got a break when Steelton's infield erred on a routine grounder by Vern Fishel, Kritchen advancing to third. Leik singled to score Kritchen and send Fishel to second.

With two out, pinch-hititer i 1 Wallace reacher first safely loading the bases when his fly ball hit the Steelton rightfielder on the head. Russ Krouse, the third pinch-hitter of the frame, singled for two runs sending Wallace' into scoring position at second. The next batter went out to kill the rally one run short of its goal. Steelton never trailed during the contest. The Steamrollers racked York pitching for five runs in the second inning and stayed in front the rest of the way, although out-hit.

8-4. Marlin Biesecker was hit by a pitched ball as the second inning started. Rodney Vorkapich sacrificed him to second and Merv Shaffer doubled to plate Biesecker. Al Smith was hit by a pitched ball, Jim Reich singled to left, Joe Fletcher singled and Al Miller doubled to clear the bases. Miller was thrown, out attempting to stretch his hit into a triple.

Walt King's triple got two of those runs back in the bottom of the second and singles off the bats of Kritchen and Fishel ignited another two-run surge in the third, Infield errors then handed Steelton a single run in the fourth and two more in the sixth. Every position on the York infield, the catcher excluded, committed one miscue to offset the four-hit hurling of three York pitchers. Coach Eddie Tuleya's team will play at Middletown tomorrow in a non-league affair, then return to Central Penn activity Tuesday in Hershey against the current league leaders.

He announced, however, he would name a new general manager and coach before retirement and would leave his successor "a working organization." York Trackmen Handed Setback Orange and Blue drops close meet to undefeated Williams-port rivals, 662-602.

In Quadrangular meet at Lancaster tomorrow. Bob Raemore, one of the state's outstanding schoolboy runners, spurred Williamsport to a 66-60 dual track and field victory over York High yesterday afternoon at Small Athletic field, thereby keeping intact-the Millionaires' unbeaten record. Raemore was easily the difference between the two' strong squads. He won the 100-yard dash in :10.2 and the 220 in :22.2, then came back to anchor William-sport's fine mile relay team across the finish line with a 3:34.6 effort. The team victory hinged on the final event, the mile relay, as Coach Louis Dowell's squad had rallied gamely from early deficits of 23-9, 29-12, 33-17 and 38-12 (after seven events) to pull even at SS-Se1 with only-the broad jump and mile relay remaining.

Mike Harris of Williamsport leaped 20 feet, four inches, to provide the visitors a' 5-4 point edge in the broad jump, and Raemore's excellent 440 anchor leg kept York at a safe distance in the mile relay. Raemore's teammates, Del Baehman, Lee Fisher and Joe Harris, compiled a 15-yard lead after three legs, and Raemore simply breezed home to give his team the victory. Raemore's sparkling efforts came during a dual meet that produced excellent winning times and distances in practically every event Leon Silar, the workhorse of the York squad, captured his specialty, the 180-yard low hurdles, In 22 seconds flat; finished second to Raemore in the 220 dash, and anchored York's 880 relay team to a thrilling victory. John Mirtz, Buckie Hill and Jerry Kunkle all ran welt in the 880, but Williamsport still maintained a slight edge when Kunkle handed the baton to Silar to start theiinal 220 leg. Silar trailed the Billport's Dave Engler into the far team, then' kicked strongly down the stretch to catch Engler in the final four strides.

Jones Wins Twice Howard Jones emerged as the Bearcat's only double winner. The former basketball ace took the high jump at 5-9, his best mark of the season, and the 880 run in 2:08.8. The finest individual performance of the afternoon, however, was turned in by John Reed of York who tied a school record in the pole vault by clearing 11 feet. Mike Dowell, son of the York coach, established the 11-foot mark in 1952. Another fine effort was produced by the Millionaires' Jake Shaffer, the shot put winner with a heave of 48 feet, 10 inches.

The highly-anticipated clash between Raemore and York's previously-unbeaten sprint ace, Senford Folckomer, in the 100 never fully materialized. Folckomer, after bursting off the blocks to a slight early lead, pulled up lame some 20 yards from the finish, a victim of a re-aggrevated pulled thigh muscle. Williamsport thus claimed a 6-3 edge in the 100 and, combined with a sweep of the first three positions in the mile and a first and second in the 320 high hurdles, appeared headed towards a one-sided team victory before York gradually evened matter via a decided superiority in the field events. The Bearcats now have one day of rest before participating tomor- Jalopy Race Card At Williams Grove Williams Grove, Pa.

Cleveland UP) The Cleveland Indians put pitcher Herb Score on the disabled list yesterday, which means that the injured star, whose condition is improving, cannot be used in an American league game for 30 days.

General Manager Hank Green-berg said "doctors tell us that even should Score continue to improve as he has in the past two days since his injury, he will be unable to pitch for at least three weeks." "Although he possibly might pitch or be able to pitch before 30 days," Greenberg said, "we believe it best to give him plenty of time to recover from his injury, even at the risk of losing his services in one or two games. "In this instance we cannot White Sox Blank Boston Team, 2-0 Ted Williams goes hitless as, Jim Wilson checks Red Sox-with only five hits. Winners, tie idle Yanks for top spot. Chicago UP) Ted Williams and the Boston Red Sox were cooled off by sizzling Jim Wilson yesterday as the Chicago White Sox ended a five-game losing streak with a 2-0 decision. The triumph moved the White Sox into a first-place tie with the idle New York Yankees, each with a 12-7 record.

Wilson scattered five hits, struck out nine and kept hot-batting Williams from getting the ball out of the infield in four trips. Williams, entering the game with a .474 batting average, fouled out, smashed out to first, rolled out to the pitcher and struck out. Williams dropped 31 percentage points, but retained the American league batting lead at .443. The loser was Boston starter, Dean Stone, who. nicked for the two White Sox runs and all five hits in the 5 23 innings he worked.

Stone, former Washington Senator pitcher, suffered his second defeat against no victories. Wilson -now has a 3-1 mark. Bob Chakales and Ike Delock finished for the Red Sox. The game was held up three times by rain for a total of ,84 minutes, but the cooling off periods had little effect on the veteran Wilson. Outside of the five Boston hits, only five balls hit by the Red Sox reached the outfield.

Boston advanced a man as far as third in the fourth inning, but he died there when Wilson nailed Ted Lepcio on an infield out to end the inning. The Red Sox put singles by Sammy White and pinch-hitter Dick Gernert back-to-back with two out in the seventh, but Wilson got Piersall to fly out to center to retire the side. The Red Sox also had consecutive singles by Piersall and Billy Klaus with two out in the third, but Walt Dropo's great stop of a smash by Williams ended the inning. The Sox scored in the second on a walk to Jim Landis, a stolen base and Dropo's single to center. The other Chicago run came in the sixth when Fox walked, went to third on Minnie Minoso's single and scored on Landis' double.

Caterpillar handed Delphia its initial setback by a 7-0 count and Stambaugh's outscored Met-Ed, 12-9. In other games Yankees trounced Yorktown, 13-1 and Masell toppled Murphy's, 12-1. The two unbeaten teams clash on Tuesday to feature the program. John Erney limited Delphia to two scattered singles while Caterpillar lashed out with 13 similar hits in recording a 7-0 verdict. Erney fanned 13 while walking two and hitting one.

Stambaugh's overcame an early deficit and a five-run outburst in the fourth frame proved decisive in downing Met-Ed by 12-9 in a free-scoring affair. George Powell set down Murphy's with just one hit as Masell won a 12-1 decision. The winners utilized timely hitting along with walks to record the w.n. Robert tough, manager of Murphy's team, announced late last night that team was relinquishing its league berth.
