United Press Sporti Writer
I'recl Hincy's '"7-1 1 " winnine
utrcaks as the new manager of
the Milwaukee Braves were
making them a hot pennant bet
today and giving him revenge
azainst the Pittsburgh Pirate?,
who fired him.
Haney quickly ran up a 5e'.en
game winning streak when hij
Braves came home to Milwaukee
for a long stand ayainst the east
ern teams, knocking off the
Dodgers four in a row and the
Pirates three straight, including
Monday's 2-1 triumph. That kept
them two full games ahead of
second place Cincinnati.
And when Haney inherited
the job as Milwaukee manager,
succeeding not so jolly Cholly
Grimm, the Braves whizzed to a
spectacular 11-game streak. In
that one, the fir;t two triumphs
were over the Dodgers and the
next three against Pittsburgh.
To moit men. getting fired as
manager of the Pirates would be
like a parole from a prison sen
tence, but right now Haney
seems to be making practically a
federal case of his revenge.
Buhl Winning Hurler
Monday. Haney's zanies gained
another fine pitching job from
Bob Buhl, who walked nobody,
struck nut four and scattered
seven hits for his 11th victory.
Hank Aaron lined a center field
j hon.cr for the victory margin
against lo.-er Ronnie Kline. Ear
ilicr. Frank Thomas homered to
spoil E-;hr shutout.
! The Phillies, capitalizing on a
western tour, won tiieir sixth
' g;me in tr.e la.-, seven at St.
1 Louis, defeating tiie Cardinals
2-0 on the seven-hit pitching of
! lefty Harvey Haddix. It was the
I third time Haddix had beaten
I the Cardinals since General Man
i aser Frank Lane traded him
I away to Philadelphia. Haddix
now has a 7-3 mark with the
Phils and is 8-3 for the season.
, He struck out eight Cards and
walked but one. Doubles by
Richie Ashburn and Marv Blay
lock drove in the two lone runs.
At Cincinnati, Gus Bell, Ed
Bailey and Frank Robinson hit
homers to give the Redlegs an
easy 1 0-4 decision over the Gi
ants, who lost their seventh
Broadcasters
Top Bidders
For Tigers
By Lloyd Northard
United Press Sports Writer
Detroit (U.R The 11-man
group headed by broadcasters
Fred Knorr and John Fetzer to
day was hailed as the winning
bidder for the Detroit Tigers,
hut the real winner may have
been "Spike" Briggs.
After Walter O. "Spike"
Briggs Jr. announced the Tiger
board of directors had accepted
the Knorr-Fetzer proposal of a
record So, 500. 000, Knorr an
nounced Briggs would be the
executive vice president of the
ihib
This was a triumph for the
yon of the late Tiger owner Wal
ter O. Briggs Sr., and Spike,
who has been determined to
st.iy with the club and continue
his father's policies, admitted it.
Asked if he thought the
Briggs' estate trustees would up
hold the selection of the Knorr
Fetzer group's bid. Briggs said.
" I won this one, let's wait and
gee."
The Knorr-Fetzer winning bid
calls for payment of $4,600,000
cash. SI. 000, 000 of this to be
pair! by Aug. 1, and the remain
ing S300.000 to be paid off in
at least five years at four per
cent interest.
Knorr had also made a bid
of S5.000.000 cash for the club,
but this was topped by three
other cash bids. Groups which
offered more immediate cash
were headed by Bill Veeck,
S5.250.000; Jack Kent Cooke,
Toronto, So, 180, 000; and Holly
wood producer Robert Gold
stein, S3. 050, 000.
Xorie of the other three groups
had plans for putting Spike
Briggs in a top, policy making
position. Knorr, an old friend
of Briggs, said Spike would be
in such a position if he was the
winning bidder.
Cade Blanks
Emeralds
By RAY ANDREWS
United Press Sports Writer
Jerry Cade seems to be a gem
of a pitcher when he's out there
against the Eugene Emeralds.
Cade blanked the Emeralds for
the second time in a row last
night as he hurled Salem to a
7-0 victory in Northwest league
play.
Cade fanned 12 and was in
command all the way as he pick
ed up his sixth victory of the
year. Eugene got but four hits
off his deliveries and all were
singles.
Salem got two runs in the
first frame and Frank Sezukla
got the Senators four more in
the sixth with a bases-loaded
homer. Salem added one more in
thp seventh.
Wenatchee tamed Yakima 4-3
on a somewhat unspectacular but
useful run in the fifth. Bob Dur
etto opened with a double, moved
to third on a sacrifice fly and
scored on Phil Marvier's sacri
fice fly.
Yakima got three runs in the
third on Roy Nixon's bases-loaded
double but Wenatchee scored
two in the first, one in the third
and pushed across the decider in
the fifth.
Spokane continued to surprise.
The Indians went up against Tri
City at Kennewick and turned
in a 4-3 decision over the Braves
to continue in first place. The
decision gives the Indians a
mark of four victories and one
defeat.

By ED FITE
United Press Sports Writer
Dallas, Tex. 'U.R Boston
Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey
has spent millions for baseball
talent, but one of the classiest
looking Sox farm hands in these
paits is a pint-sized outfielder
who cost millionaire Yawkey
two pairs of baseball shoes.
He is Albie Person, who looks
more like the batboy of the
Oklahoma City Indians than he
does the Texas League's third
leading hitter and one of its top
defensive flychasers.
Pearson is a product of El
Monte High in Alhambra. Calif.,
the same school which spawned
the Yankees' Tom Morgan, and
like Morgan he was a star
pitcher in his schoolboy days.
But, the wiry little southpaw
never did get a change to pitch
when he broke into organized
baseball under Red Marion at
San Jose after being signed by
Red Sox Scout Tom Downey.
The club was shy an outfielder
and the five foot, six inch P, ear
son persuaded Marion he could
play the outfield, too. So into
the lineup he went, getting four
hits each of the first two nights.
He's been an outfielder ever
since.
Only three years out of high
j school, the 20-year-old Albie is
! on the fourth rung of a climb up
. the ladder to what looms as a
' berth in the Fenway Park out
field. j He hit .334 at San Jose and
was promoted to Albany, where
i marriage and other factors cut
I his plate efficiency to .270. But.
j he moved on to Montgomery of
j the Sally League last year and
'hit .306.
He was hitting above .300 with
San Francisco this season when
the Red Sox sent Mary Keogh to
the Seals, forcing Pearson back
. to Class AA ball with Oklahoma
City.
He's been the shining light
on a tail-end ball club there. In
addition to playing brilliantly
afield, he's rapped the ball at a
.338 clip with a fair share of
home runs and triples mingled
with his singles and doubles.
Manager Red Davis of the
league-1 e a d i n g Dallas Eagles
echoes the sentiments of his con
temporaries when he says:
"The little guy is hard to pitch
to because of his size, but he has
a lot of power for a 135-pounder.
He hits to all fields, but also can
pull pretty good, too, if he wants
to. He won't take too many
walks' because he's a swinger
and likes to cut at the ball all the
time."
Ashlander
Top Cyclist
Slant artist John Wenker of
Ashland won the motorcycle hill
climb sponsored by the Rogue
River Ramblers on the Don Ment
zer ranch in Phoenix Sunday.
Zenker's first try at the hill
gave him the day's best time of
9.3 seconds. Each of the other
15 contestants took two more
rides up the hill but none suc
ceeded in bettering Wenker's
first.
Second place went to Donnie
Hood of Grants Pass with 9.4
seconds. Both Wenker and Hood
were awarded trophies. Clubs
were entered from Klamath
Falls. Crescent City, Rogue Riv
er, Grants Pass, Ashland and
