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

triple, double and homer and

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.

Campanella Has
Knee Examined
Brooklyn (U.R) A decision
on whether slugging star Roy
Campanella of the Brooklyn
Dodgers will have to undergo
surgery on his ailing left knee
was expected to be forthcoming
from a special examination of
the knee today.
Conflicting doctors' opinions
Wednesday were that the Dodg
ers' ace catcher will be out of
action from two weeks to a
month.
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."
