By JACK HAND
CHATTANOOGA, Tcnn <A1>)
Johnny Rucks, it lean blond
wokli* with a crackling fast
ball, looks like the "sleeper” of
the year In the camp of the New
Voik Yankees. The way hla ca
reer parallels Bob Grim's Is posi
tively amazing.
Like Grim, the new rtghthand
ed whiz Is Just back from mili
tary service. He, too, had a bril
liant season below double-A ball
Is-fore he went away. To add the
final touch, Rucks even rooms
with Grim, the 1954 "rookie of
the year,"
II was against Brooklyn In
an exhibition game that Grim
rrully made It last year. Kochs,
only 21, outdid Grim's Job when
he got a chance to face the
Dodgers.
Pitching out of a deep hole
with the bases loaded In the first
Inning, he made Gil Hodges foul
out and got Jackie Robinson to
bounce into a double play. When

Manager Casey Stengel took him
out, he had allowed only three
hits and one run In seven innings.
Two of the hits were scratch
singles.
A new pitch the change-up
made Kucks even more impres
sive than he had been in earlier
stints against St. Louis and the
Chicago White Sox. Jim Turner,
the Yank coach, taught him the |
new pitch and is working on a
side arm curve ball.
Until Kucks was blasted by :
the Phillies last Wednesday, ,
he hud allowed only fear runs
and nine hits In IS Innings.
"Ever since I can remember.
I wanted to play ball,” said
Kucks. He lives now in Stan

in grammar school would ask us
what we wanted to be, I’d always
write down baseball player. She

Nance Stops Rally
As Ducks Edge LC
By Buzz Nelson
Emerald Aisittant Sports Editor
Relief pitcher Jack Nance carne
in to stop a ninth inning Lewis
and Clark rally and preserve a
9-8 Oregon win over the Pio
neers on Howe field Wednesday.
Lewis and Clark had scored
four runs in the ninth and had
a man on second with none out
when Nance relieved Everett
Stiles. The sophomore righthand
er set down the next three men
in order, although the runner
eventually scored from second.
Ducks Own 5-8 Record
It was the third win in two
days for the Ducks and raised
their season's record to 5-3. Their
next action is Friday when they
host Willamette in a double
header starting at 1:30 p.m.
Oregon roughed up Ray Hyde,
the Pioneers’ star lefty, for eight
runs in the first five innings. Jim
Johnson scored in the first on
Dick Schlosstein's ground out,
after Johnson and George Shaw
had executed a double steal.
The Ducks added another in
the second on Pete Williams’
double and a throwing error by,
the Lewis and Clark second base- j
man. Shaw proved the spark to a
two-run third as he tripled home
Johnson, who had singled, and
scored himself on Schlosstein’s
fly out.
.Schlosstein Triples
Four more tallies came in the
fifth as Johnson beat out a bunt,
Schlosstein tripled him in and
scored as the ball got through
the catcher on Terry Maddox’
strikeout.
Williams then hit his second
double to send Maddox to third.'
With Jerry Ross at bat, Maddox
attempted a steal of home, but
was trapped between third and
home plate.
Pioneer Catcher Art Ronne,
who had an off day, made a hur
ried throw to third, and the ball
bounced off Maddox' back. Both
Maddox and Williams scored on
the error.
Meanwhile Lewis and Clark
could do little with the Oregon
pitching. John Lundell started
for the Ducks and allowed one
run in four innings, a homer over
the bank in left by Gary Jack
son.
Lundell was helped by two
very nicely executed double
plays, one of which he started
himself.
Lehl Tosses Hitless Ball
Jim Lehl, 135-lb. soph left
hander from Coos Bay, came on
in the fifth and pitched two
scoreless, hitless innings.
Lehl, in turn, was replaced by
Ev Stiles, junior righthander.
Stiles got by the seventh, al
lowed two runs in the eighth and
then was very rudely treated in
the ninth.
The chief ninth inning blows
by the Pioneers were long doub
les by Bill Martell and Ron
Lewis, each of which scored two
runs. With Lewis on second
Nance came in to put out the
fire.
Oregon scored what proved to
be the winning run in the eighth
as Jim Pingree doubled and
scored on a double play.
Shaw, Johnson and Williams
each* rapped out two hits for
Oregon. Martell, Bill Stempel
and Lewis had two hits apiece
for Lewis and Clark.
