For an estimated $20,000, a shrine to the immortals of 51 years of major league baseball here was prepared for opening at Friday night's game between the Tribe and the St. Louis Browns first of its kind in the majors.

The facade of the Hall of Fame is done up in, balls and bats on a green background with a classic baseball batter of the round cap and tie period in carved oak to set the mood. A graph, some 25 feet long, traces the Tribe's fortunes through the years, highlighting the two pennant years 1920 and 1948. MEDF(l)TMBUini JOHN SCHMITZ HURLS DECISION FOR YANKEES By UNITED PRESS The Yankees still are shopping around in the National league waiver market for a pitcher who who can insure them the pen nant, but their latest "Johnny" deal was paving dividends Fri day even if they can't pick up a Dickson, Blackwell or Hiller. Johnny Schmitz came through with a six-hitter over the Sena tors Thursday for his first Yan kee victory, 7 to 2, to join "offi cially" the other "Johnny's" who came to the Yankees after the trading, deadline Mize in 1949, Hopp in 1950, and Sain in 1951. The formula is simple. The Yankees comb the market for what they need and find a high priced and supposedly . fading star with a National league club. The National league club asks waivers and usually gets them, because no other team wants to assume the large salary. When waivers are obtained the Yarv kees close the deal for far above the $10,000 waiver price. Slugging Star Mize, the castoff Giant first baseman has been a fill-in slug ging star for the Yankees ever since. Hopp was a capable pinch hitter and defensive fill-in at Weather Should Help All-Stars Chicago (U.R) Even the weather forecast Friday favored an upset victory by the 1952 Col lege All-Stars over the Los Ange les Rams, National Football league champions in the 19 th re newal of the annual spectacle m Soldier Field Friday night. The prediction called for a warm humid day with the tem perature climbing to 94 before dusk. Those conditions were made to order for the younger and numerically stronger college squad which was a one-touchdown underdog. Neither side was too confident of victory, heading into battle, although Coach Joe Stydahar of the Rams said that his team ought to win. Garver Traded To Detroit; Vic Wertz Goes to Browns Cleveland, Ohio (U.R) Man ager Marty Marion insisted Fri day that "pure necessity" caused the St. Louis Browns to give up Jitcher Ned Garver to Detroit )r outfielder Vic Wertz. "We simply had to have more unch," declared Marion. "A fellow like Wertz who can be used in. our lineup everyday is bound to help us more than a fellow like Garver, who we only could use once a week," he added. Delighted vj.h the waiver deal that brought Wertz to the Browns Thursday for Garver, outfielder Jim Delsing and pitcher Dave Madison, Marion explained that Sportsman's Park, home of the Browns, is tailor-made for a left-handed, Jong-bjall hitting slugger like Wertz. Know He Can Hit "We realize Wertz hasn't been having too good a year," said the Brownie manager, "but we all know he can hit and we're sure that he will in our park." Acquisition of the 27-year-old Wertz, who has a .290 lifetime batting average but was hitting only.249 this season, culminated an eight-player waiver deal, de scribed as thejargest in baseball history, between the two clubs. Earlier in the week, the Browns obtained outfielder Don Lenhardt and pitchers Dick Lit tlefield and Marlin Stuart from the Tigers in exchange for one of their farmhands, William mam , ' IHH OLD j srniBRoox STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY (Bud) Black, a pitcher with San Antonio of the Texas league. Prior Claim Although the trading deadline is June 15, the Browns and Tig ers were able to work out their waiver deal because they are in seventh and eighth places, re spectively, in the standings and have prior claim to any players on the waiver list. "Wertz will play against Cleveland Friday night," said Marion. Garver. a 20-eame winner last year who has a disappointing ?- ana-io mark this season is due to report to the Tigers Saturday. NET MATCHES BILLED Newport, R. I. U.R) Herb Flam of Los Angeles faced revenge-bent Frank Sedgman of Australia, and Dick Savitt of Orange, N.J., played Sgt.

The . Yankees gained a half game on the idle second place Indians' and now stand three full games in front, but the third place Red Sox moved to within 4V& games of the top with 5 to 4 and 4 to 2 victories over the Ath letics, the first in 13 innings.
