The Yankees are last.
The club that has won nine
American League pennants and
seven world championships in 10
years is in the cellar.
You have to go back to May 25,
1940, to find a set of standings
that shows the New York Yankees
in eighth place at this stage of the
season. And those 1940 Yankees,
too, were world champions. They

Cubs and Cincinnati in four straight
in 1938 and 1939.
Yet that New York Yankee club
too was last. By Aug. 9 it still
was only a 500 team (51 - 51),
and while it was to make a brief
stand in first place, it finished
Stengel Keeps
Calm During
Stormy Season
NEW YORK (AP) The world
champion New York Yankees are
in last place in the American
League.
Fans give varied opinions as to
the causes ot the strange situation.
The ideas range from the opinion
that the club bas hud it, to the
hopeful among its followers sug
gestion mat it is just a temporary
slump that got out of hand.
The last lime the Yankees were
in the basement at an equivalent
stage of the race was May 25
1940. The last of the two times
the club finished in the cellar was
in 1912, and the last time it spent
the season in the second division
was in 1925.
lne calmest (outwardly) man
in all the confusion is Manager
Casey Stengel, who maintained his
aplomb even after the Detroit Ti
gers dumped the world champions
into the cellar Wednesday by
whomping them 13-6.
Used To Role
Perhaps it is because such a
position is no novelty to the griz
zled skipper. Before he hit the
jackpot with the Yankees he hung
his hat regularly in the second
division. And in 1940, the year the
Yankees were in much the same
situation as they are today, he
also had a club the Boston
Braves in last place as late as
Aug. 30, although he managed to
rally it to finish seventh.
Quietly, and without bitterness.
the man who has won nine pen
nanls and seven world champion
ships in his 10 seasons with the
team discussed its problems.
The nearest he came to a threat
was the comment: "I expect those
pitchers of ours realize that they
will have to do belter than that
(what they did Wednesday) or
they can t stay around."
He had previously pointed to
lack of timely hitting as the basis
for the troubles. He reckoned the
hitting Wednesday wasn't too bad.
That he has confidence the team
is better than its record might in
dicate was hinted by his state
ment that "1 think three or four
clubs will pay for those runs be
fore tne season is over."

Yankee Trades Sighted
BALTIMORE (AP) I.ee Mac
I'hail, last year a top hand in the
Yankee front office and now gen
eral manager or the Baltimore
Orioles, expects the New Yorkers
to start talking trade in earnest.
"Unless they go on a long win
ning streak right away, 1 expect
Ihem to make a major trade be
fore the June 15 deadline," Mac
Phail said.
The Yankees, now in last place,
open a four-game weekend series
here Friday and the prospect o( a
Baltimore-New York trade was on
nearly everybody's mind at Mem

Enos Remains
Of the 16 players Manager Casey
Stengel used as Detroit plunked
the Yankees into the cellar with
a 13-6 crash Wednesday, only Enos
Slaughter was in organized ball in
1940. He was the 24-year-old coun
try boy playing outfield for the
It. Louis Cardinals.
Stengel? He was managing the
National League s old Boston Bees,
who escaped the cellar in the last
month and finished seventh.
While the nation's baseball fans
eyed the bottom of the AL stand
ings, Cleveland clung to the top
with a 5-3 victory at Washington
Wednesday night. The Chicago
White Sox remained within half-
game of the Indians by beating
Baltimore 5-2. Kansas City
whipped Boston 8 2.
itight - nanaer Franc i.ary gave
up a two-run homer to Yogi Berra
in the first inning, then blanked
the Yankees on four hits until the
ninth, when Mickey Mantle s
homer and Berra's second scored
four runs.
Two for Yost
Eddie Yost had three of Detroit's
19 hits and drove in six runs with
two homers, one a grand slam.
That was after Charlie Maxwell
singled home two runs for a tie
in the fifth against loser boodv
Shantz (0-2) and Gail Harris then
broke the deadlock with a homer

Rocky colavito and vie rower

the Indians. Herb Score (4-2) beat

Dick Donovan (2-2) gained his
first complete game for the White
Sox with a four - hitler. The Sox,
who twice came from behind, won
it in Ihe fifth on singles ty Luis

Howie Reed persevered through
IS innings and finally nailed down
a 5 4 victory for Portland over
Seattle Wednesday night.
Reed pitched the enure game.
He gave up no earned runs but
found himself trailing most of the
way. His trouble stemmed from
the second inning when an error
put him in the hole and ha gave
up a tnree-run nomer to rival
pitcher Claude Osteen.
Jack Mtircii slammed a nome
run for Portland in the second in
ning and George Freese sent the
game into extra innings with a
bases-empty homer in the eighth.

Gale Wade dropped in left-center
as left fielder l-.nc Rodin ran in

second base. A bunt moved him to
third and he scored after a long
fly to right field by Jim Green
grass. In other games Sacramento
downed Phoenix 6 2, San Diego
edged Salt Lake City 2 0 and Van
couver defeated Spokane 6-3.
Carl Greene was the Sacramento
winner. He spaced out 10 hits in
winning his fifth game of the sea
son against no defeats. Dick Phil
lips got a two-run homer for the
Solons in the third and Al Heist
dittoed for the winners in the fifth.
Bobby lxicke, a slim righthand
er, held the Bees to three bits in
winning for the Padres. He struck
out six batters and didn't issue a
walk. Bill Moran got a solo homer
for the Pads in the fifth inning.
Joe Taylor, Jim Pagliaroni and
Ron Hansen all homered for the
Mounties in a five-run first inning.
Taylor's blast was a three-run af
fair while Pagliaroni and Hansen
hit back-to-back solos. The loss
broke a six-game Spokane victory
sl:ein.
The Rainiers engineered a triple
play in the fourth. With men on
first and second, Portland's Howie
Reed attempted to bunt. With both
runners under way, the ball
popped into the air and Seattle
catcher Jake Jenkins nabbed it.
He fired to second for out No. 2
and .shortstop Kd Winceniak rifled
the ball to Dee Fondy at first in
time to complete the triple killing.

TV Changes
Under Study
COLUMBUS. Ohio. (AP) Major
league baseball executives prob
ably will do some serious talking
today about an idea that's been
kicked around for some time:
creation of a third major league.
But as Charles A. Comiskey II
of the Chicago White Sox ex
plained: "I think mainly it will be just
to stop all the loose talk and in
dividual statements about such a
league."
Another topic up for discussion
by the convening major league
brass is whether to curtail tele
vised games.
One American League club own
er, who asked that his name not
be used, said:
"One thing I believe we will
discuss Thursday will be the pos
sibility of doing away with the Sat
urday and Sunday 'game of the
day' and. televising only one night
a week."
He said under such a plan it
would likely be a Monday night
game and that the minor leagues
would make all Mondays open
dales on their schedules.
Another major league official,
also speaking anonymously said:
"Actually the honeymoon is over
as far as our plush television con
tracts are concerned. Only a half
dozen clubs are still making a
financial killing in that field."
Commissioner Ford Frick called
the meeting of the 16 - major
league clubs here following a
special major - minor league com
mittee huddle Tuesday and Wed
nesday in the troublesome radio
TV problem. ,
The committee also had been
called into session by Frick. at the
suggestion of the minors, to cort
sider .what to do about sagging
gate receipts at minor league ball
parks. The minors blame it on
saturation of the airwaves with
broadcasts of major league con
tests.

Ed Machen
Cops Verdict
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Heavy
weight contender Eddie Machen,
victorious Wednesday night over
unranked Rueben Vargas, now
switches his battling to the courts,
seeking to halt the Floyd Patter-son-lngemar
Johansson title bout.
Eddie and his pilot, Sid Flaher
ty, are scheduled to appear in
federal court in New York June 1
when their petition seeking to
force Johansson into a return bout
with Machen will be heard.
A verdict favoring Eddie could
disrupt plans for the June 25 meet
ing in New York between cham
pion Patterson and the Swede who
kayoed Machen Sept. 14. Flaherty
contends he and Eddie hold a con
tract calling for the return match
before Inge boxes anyone else.
Wednesday night in the na
tionally televised 10-rounder at the
Cow Palace, Machen found tough
going in the early and late rounds
against Vargas. But Eddie's jab
kept his onrushing foe off balance
sufficiently to bring him a un
animous but close and unpopular
verdict.
Vargas, of Richmond. Calif.,
who weighed 189'i. entered the
ring a favorite. Machen, of Red
ding, Calif., weighed 197'i.

Robinson-Basilio Battle
Rages, In Star Chambers
NEW YORK (AP) Round and
round the Ray Robinson - Carmen
Basilio debate goes. Where it will
stop nobody knows.
The New York Stale Athletic
Commission, which appears about
ready to strip Robinson of his ti
tle, has recessed its hearing until
Friday afternoon. Basilio sweated
it out Wednesday while lawyers
objected and took exceptions to a
stream of questions.
At nno ataee. he was almost
ready to take a punch at one of
Robinson's lawyers, who had been
accusing his attorney. State Sen.
Lawrence Rulison, of "coaching
the witness."
When the going got hot. Martin
Macbat, Robinson's lawyer, had
this to say to Chairman M e 1 v i n
Krulewilcn ot tne commission:
"If you are going to vacate the
title, we are going to the Appel
late Division and stop you."
Krulewitch bristled and replied:
"This commission does not threat
en easily. You already have gone
to court twice."
The issue resolved on Robinson's
compliance or failure to comply
with an April 30 or-Ier by the
State Supreme Court and the coin
mission to "enter into articles of
agreement to defend against Ba
silio in 15 days (May 15) or risk
vacating the title."
Robinson claims he has entered
into an agreement to fight Basilio
in Philadelphia Sept. 31 for pro
moter Sam Rose. Part of the con
tract was filed with the commis
sion Monday. The rest was to have
been produced Wednesday. It didn't
show.
The commission ruled it was evi
dent the Pennsylvania contract
was invalid because it was not be
tween two licensees.
When the session was all over,
the chances of a Robinson-Basilio
fight seemed less than ever.
CUTS FINGERS
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Pittsburgh's
ace relief pitcher, EIroy Face, cut
two finger on his pitching hand
in an accident Wednesday.
Face dropped a glass of water
in his hotel room. He started to
pick up the broken glass and cut
himself on the top of the last two
fingers on his right hand.
The Pirates said Face should be
able to pitch in four days or to.
