Preacher Roe Confesses Spitter Use New York (U.R) Preacher Roe said today that during his brilliant pitching career with the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1948 to 1954 the illegal spitball was the "money pitch" which kept him in the major leagues. Roe, in the current edition of Sports Illustrated magazine, said he decided to use the spitball in 1947 after the Dodgers acquired him from the Pittsburgh Pir ates. . Roe, a one-time fireballer in the St. Louis Cardinals' chain, had a 4-15 record with the Pir ates that" year. "Why shouldn't I have decid ed to use the spitter?" Roe asked rhetorically in the article. "I was about through when I de cided to get me the pitch. 'If I get caught,' I told myself, 'they'll kick me out of baseball. If I don't, I'm through anyway, so how can I lose?" Roe who retired after the 1954 campaign in which he had a 3-4 mark, said in the magazine story he had no regrets and stated, "I wasn't the only one , that did it there are still some guys wet ting 'em up right now ... I know one or two of 'em but it's not up to me to tell their names. Roe compiled a 12-8 record in 1948, his first year with' the Dodgers and then reeled off suc cessive season marks as follows: 15-6 in 1949, 19-11 in 1950, 23-3 in 1951, 11-2 in 1952 and 11-3 in 1953. His combined record of 44-8 for the 1951-52-53 seasons is one of the most remarkable percentagewise in the history of baseball. Roe also said in the story that shortstop PeeWee Reese and third baseman Billy Cox of the Dodgers often collaborated with his in getting the saliva onto the ball. The spitball was declared il legal in 1920, the year the lively ball made its appearance in the game, but Commissioner Ford Frick recently said he was in favor of making it legal again. Among the famous spitball pitch ers were Urban Shocker, Bur leigh Grimes, Red Faber and Stan Coveleskie. : Los Angeles Bids For Heavyweight Titular Hassle New York, U.R) Promoter Jim Norris had a brand new $1, 250,000 bid from Los Angeles to consider today as he conferred here with the managers of Rocky Marciano and Archie Moore about a heavyweight title fight in September. Norris, who flew in from Mi ami Wednesday night, had hoped to close today for the match at Yankee stadium, probably on Sept. 22, but Wednesday night's offer of the biggest guarantee in ring history may prolong the negotiations until next week. Other offers from Los Ange lese, Chicago, New Orleans, Mil waukee and Houston, Tex., al ready had been considered and apparently rejected. Promoter Cal Eaton and matchmaker Babe McCoy an nounced the $1,250,000 offer in Los Angeles Wednesday night. Eaton, who hopes to place the fight in the Memorial Stadium at Los Angeles or in the neigh boring Pasadena Rose Bowl, said he was ready "to put up any kind of bond they want to insure the guarantee." Will Mays Blazes Up, Drives in All 6 Runs As NY Tops Brooklyn By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Say hey! Shine up that halo. Dust off the Superman cloak. Get that door ajar in the Hall of. Fame and put those Davy Crockett stories back with the comics. Willie Mays is on a ram page again. The say hey kid, baseball's All-American boy of 1954, broke loose Wednesday night in a way to give Giant fans a forlorn hope that they still may have a chance in the pennant chase. He hit two homers, including the first grand slam job of his career, and drove in all six runs in a 6-1 victory over the Dodgers in Brooklyn. Sharing honors with Willie was Ruben Gomez, his opponent in that Puerto Rican winter baseball slugging match of last winter. Wednesday night they collaborated in pummeling the Dodgers. Gomez gave up three hits and missed a shutout only when he lost his control and walked three men in the ninth after which Frank Kellert drove in the lone Brooklyn run with a sacrifice fly. Clem Labine, who has failed 23 times to pitch a complete game since blanking the Giants, 10-0 in the 1951 National League playoffs, was the victim of all Willie's hits. Yankees Fatten Lead The Yankees fattened their American League lead to five games and assured themselves of being in first place on July 4, the traditional pennant-meas uring date, by beating the punchless Orioles, 9-2 and 7-3. while the Tigers stopped second place Chicago, 8-2, and Kansas City retarded third place Cleve land with a 12-4 chastising. Bos ton made it five in a row with a 7-5 victory at Washington. In other National League games Milwaukee closed in on second place Chicago with a 14-1 victory, St. Louis defeated Cincinnati, 9-5 as Stan The Man Musial blasted a homer for his 2,500 major league hit, and the Phils topped Pittsburgh, 6-3. The Yankees who now have defeated the Baltimore Orioles 11 times in 12 games this year, gained their opening victory on Bob Turley's 11-strikeout per formance. It was his 10th vic tory. Reliever . Tom . Morgan scored his fifth triumph without a loss in the nightcap over the fledgling Orioles whose top hit ter, Dave Pope, is batting- 272. Gil McDougald hit a key two run triple to break a 3-3 tie in the second game. Bill Skowron batted in three first game runs. Al Kaline had a three-run homer and two other hits, boost ing his average to .370 in De troit's victory. He also became the first major league player to go past the 100-hit mark. The Tigers scored five runs in the first to give Billy Hoeft coasting room for his eighth victory. Goodman Belts Ball Billy Goodman delivered a triple, double and homer and Johnny Groth drove in three runs with a homer and triple Thursday, June 30, 19SS MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN in Boston's triumph, No. 5 for Ike Delock. Kansas City had three big batsmen, Gus Zernial with, his 17th homer and triple, Harry Simpson with a two-run homer and run-scoring single and Jim Finigan with a bases-loaded triple. Bobby Shantz, with relief help from Tom Gorman, won his fourth game. Hank Aaron hit two homers and Ed Mathews and Joe Ad cock delivered one each in Mil waukee's slugging bee. Lew Burdette, after losing his shut out on a homer to Hank Sauer in the second, coasted to his sixth win. Musial's homer tied the score at 2-all, accounting for two runs in the sixth and the Cardinals put over five more in the eighth, one on a homer by Wally Moon and three on a two-out single by Nelson Burbrink with all runners moving. The Phils took a 5-0 lead with a rally in the second as Roy Samlley hit a bases-loaded triple and that was enough for Ron Negray to stick it out for a five hit triumph, his second since joining the Phils. Frank Thomas and Tom Saffell hit Pittsburgh homers. LINESCORES: American League (1st Game) Baltimore 000 001 0012 8 2 New York 034 000 llx 9 11 1 Rogovin. Pillette (3).

Campanella, a "worried man with the memory fresh in his mind of the 1953 season in. which he was wrecked by a hand in jury, wasn't offering any opinion on this ailment except "it hurts somethin' fierce so that I can't even bend over."
