Score 1
x-Tribe Hurling Due
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
Into that very special niche re
served for classic pitching duels
went the memorable 1-0 battle j
of Jack Harshman and Herb
Score today, and despite the tin
gling tenseness of the double
two-hitter, the White Sox lefty
figured all the way to beat
Cleveland's sophomore south
paw. Last year, when Harshman
won 11 games for the season,
five of his victories were over
the Indians and each was a
standout performance. And
Score, who won rookie of the
year honors with 16 victories,
lost three times to the White
Sex. There were only two clubs,
the White Sox and Yankees, that
he didn't beat.
In his 1955 triumphs over
Cleveland, Harshman never
yielded more than two runs and
he had a three-hitter, a four
hitter, and three five-hit jobs.
On two other occasions he was
beaten, being kayoed early.
In Thursday's battle Score
had visions of a no-hitter, even ;
after Chicago scored the only;
run of the game in tne seventh
on a walk to Minnie Minoso, a
two-base wild pitch, and Larry
Doby's sacrifice fly. It wasn't
until the eighth, when Walt
Dropo opened with a single, that
the spell was broken. Luis
Aparicio followed with another
single and that was it
None Beyond Second
Oddly, the two hits yielded by
Harshman also were in succes
sion to Bobby Avila and Al
Smith in the fourth. No runner
got beyond second. Harshman
struck out five, walked only two.
Score struck out 10- but walked
five.
There was fine pitching else
where in the American League.
At Detroit Bobby Shantz, an
other lefty, gave Kansas City a
heartening performance when
he held the Tigers to five hits
and a 4-1 triumph that indicated
his arm is sound again. Young
Tom Brewer two-hitted the
Orioles at Boston in a 4-2 tri
umph and Chuck Stobbs, one of
two pitchers left on the Wash
ington roster who beat the Yan
kees last season, turned in a
seven hit 7-3 win over them.
But it was mainly, a hitter's
day in the National, especially
at Cincinnati where there were
eight homers in a 10-inning 10-9
triumph for the Redlegs over St.
Louis. The Dodgers pounded out
a 514 come-from-behind triumph
,over the Phillies in 10 innings at
jersey City and the Pirates
edged the Giants, 3-2.Bob Buhl
pitched Milwaukee to a 3-1 tri
umph over Chicago.
Kansas City scored all of its
runs for Shantz in the fifth on a
succession of five singles and a
sacrifice by Bobby himself. Earl
Torgeson's home run for Detroit
prevented a shutout.
Mickey Vernon broke a 2-rl
tie with a two-run double in the
fifth to supply Brewer with his
victory margin in a duel with
Erv Palica.
Two undistinguished hitters,
Jim Lemon and Ed FitzGerald
each collected three blows in
cluding a homer apiece in Wash
ington's triumph. Stobbs, who
won only four games last year,
beat the Yankees twice.
Pest Ices Game
Wally Post's bases-loaded sin-1
gle was good for two runs ana
victory for Cincinnati. He hit it
off reliever Ellis Kinder, the
same hurler who struck him out
in a similar game-ending situa
tion on Tuesday. Bill Sarni with
two and Stan Musial and. Wally
Moon hit Card homers. Ray Ja
blonski with a grand slammer
.and Post. Ted Kluszewski and
Smoky Burgess homered for the
Redlegs.
' Roy Campanula's 1,000th big
league hit, a double, drove in one
run and Rube Walker brought
in the other with a sacrifice fly
in Brooklyn's triumph. Gil
Hodges grand slam double
brought in the three earlier runs.
Ronnie Kline pitched seven
hit ball as the Bucs came from
behind .with two runs in the sev-J
enth to beat Allan vvortningion
in a tight duel. Frank Thomas
singled home what proved to be
the winning run in the eighth,
offsetting a, Giant homer by
Daryl Spencer in the ninth.
Singles by rookie Wes Coving
ton and Danny O'Connell drove
in the seventh inning runs that
gave Euhl his triumph. Coving
ton had batted for Buhl.

Sports Writer
New York (U.R) The sports
world, dewy-eyed and devastat
ingly emotional, wrung out its
red bandannas today and settled
almost back to normal in the
wake of the Grace Kelly-Prince
Rainier wedding.
Of course, it will be a while
before they all fall into stride.
As the boxing guys allowed, as
result of the various investiga
tions, "This thing shook us up
pretty good."
So here are some of the sport
ing quotes, and slightly para
phrased quotes, on the trans-Atlantic
Philadelphia story:
Yogi Berra: "I sincerely hope
that nobody infers any Freudian
overtones but to me this is mod
ern conquest for Eros in what
unquestionably is a veritable
present-day repetition of the
classic of Tristan and Isolde."
Didn't Get Invited
Mickey Mantle: "Ugh!"
Dodgers Prefer
Brooklyn Park
To Jersey City
Jersey City, N.J. (U.R) The
Dodgers think Jersey City is
okay, but they'll take Brooklyn,
thank you.
There wasn't any hot water in
the clubhouse, the fences didn't
beckon as invitingly as they do
lat Ebbets Field, and the Dodg
ers made five errors, yet most
of the Brooklyn players had a
good word for their new part
time "home" here after defeat
ing the Phillies, 5-4, in 10 in
nings Thursday.
The game, which drew a dis
appointing crowd of 12,214, was
the first major league contest
played at Jersey City since 1889,
and it was also the first of seven
regularly scheduled contests the
Dodgers will play at Roosevelt
Stadium this season.
Few Homers
"You can bet all the gold in
Ft. Knox there won't be very
many homers hit in this park,
declared Duke Snider as he
towelled himself in the club
house after the game.
"And that new sod in the out
field is pretty rough, too," he
added, "but it'll get better as the
season goes along."
Jackie Robinson, who made
his debut in organized baseball
at Roosevelt Stadium 10 years
ago, said he liked the park then
and still does now. '

Vancouver, B. C. Bids
For Landy Appearance
Vancouver, B. C. (U.R) John
Landy, the world's mile record
holder, has been invited to com
pete in Vancouver in May by
the British Columbia Olympic
and British Empire Games as
sociation. R. F- Osborne, secre
tary of the association said there
was a possibility that Landy will
be able to compete in the an
nual Sports Day May 25, but
added an earlier date will be ar
ranged if Landy is unable to
make it for the Sports Day.
Landy Invited
By Oregon AAU
Portland (U.R) John- Landy,
Australia's great miler, will be
invited to compete in the state
AAU track and field champion
ships here June 2.
Frank Learned, chairman of
the meet, said it was hoped that
a "race among Landy and Bill
Dellinger and Jim Bailey of the
University of Oregon could be
arranged. Landy is due in the
U.S. next month and will com
pete in two California events.
Duke Snider: "For some rea
son or other, I never received an
invitation."
King Clancy: "Me neider."
Lou Little: "You might not
win as many titles, but you can
make more ground with the
Statue of Liberty play."
Philadelphia Phillies: "We
wish everybody would "come
back home while we're still in
the first division."
Moe Berg: "Touiours, loch
heim and on those tables the
visiting team doesn't have a
chance."
Sam Snead: "Them thar moun
tains shore would be a fine place
for a feller to bury his tomato
cans."
Eddie Arcaro: "A boat race,
pure and simple."
Gorgeous George: "Weren't
the clothes simply divine?"
Casey Stengel: "Well, one
time in Kaycee, there was this
here feller, and in Boston an
other guy named Kelly won the
marathon, so whatta ya gonna
do with, two on base and nobody
out? So why not?"
Wes Santee: "Even without
me, Monaco will not win the
Olympic games."
The Navy crew: "A dillar. a
dollar, a 10 o'clock sculler."
Rocky Graziano: "Tings wuz
never like ctis on Second Ave-
noo."
Happy Chandler: "Ah loves
baseball and motherhood."
The ex-Philadelphia As: "It's
Kansas City kitty for me."
Willie Mays: "Man, what loot.
And all I got on my wedding
day was a ticket-for speeding."
"Moider Da Bum"
Tony Galento: "I'll moider da
bum who sez she shouldn'ta
oughta gone and done it. Now
tap da udder barrel."
Country Slaughter: Five times
married, "A couple of ranked
amateurs."
All in all it had a profound
effect on American sports. The
Lioagers ana the Giants were
smiling at each other; Eddie
Stanky said "Hello, old pal" to
Leo Durocher, and Clint Court
ney and Billy Martin weren't
mad at anybody. Joe Louis, re
ferring to one of his previous
utterances, praised the American
go-getter instinct by recalling:
"He can run, but he can't
hide."
Then, as the golden sun dipped
into the west, he went back to
practicing his flying drop-kick.
Harry Fine
Called Up in
Mitt Probe
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Harry
Fine, manager of lightweight
contender Joey Lopes, was
scheduled to take the stand to
day as the state probe of boxing
in California sought to find out
if the fighter is controlled by
Promoter Jimmy Murray.
Murray heatedly denied at-
Thursday's session that he own
ed any part of the boxer or that
he took a hand in forcing the
sale of Lopes' contract by Phil
Garcia, his original owner, to
Fine.
Murray also denied having
any business with Frankie Car
bo, an underworld figure, or
sending any "kickbacks" to Los
Angeles Promoter Babe McCoy.
Checks to Ginsberg
However, Murray did agree
that he made out checks totalling
more than S3,200 to one Willie
Ginsberg of Los Angeles, who
Cox characterized as a "self-described
hanger on in the fight
business."
Murray said that these pay
ments, made in nine different
checks from March 1948 to Sep
tember of 1950, constituted
Ginsberg's "booking fees" along
with the fact that "Certain fel
lows would tell me to be nice
to Willie so I could get their
fighters."
One check made out to Gins
berg, in September of 1950 for
S750, Cox declared, showed a
second endorsement by a Mrs.
Martin Veselich, whom he iden
tified as Baby McCoy's daugh
ter. Cox showed a photostat of
the check to Murray who said
he didn't know who she was.
