Redlegs Skipper Says Burdette Throws Spitball Milwaukee (U.R) Manager Eirdie Tebbetts of the Cincin na Redlegs says Milwaukee Braves' pitcher Lew Burdette is "a cheating spitballer" and to day wanted the National league to clarify the rules. An angried Tebbets said he gent a request for interpreta tion to league President Warren Giles "to settle once and for all" what constitutes spitball pitch ing "so everybody .will know. Tebbette said Thursday after Burdette had won his sixth straight ver the Redlegs in two season taat "I'm tired , of him gettwg away with murder." The maaaeter charged that Burdette has feeee throwing spitballs for three years. Handji To Mouth The Be"dlegs field chief said Burdette constantly put his hands to his aaouth, fhen wiped them on his shirt or used the resin sack. Tebbets said umpires say it's all right if the pitcher wipes his hands on his shirt or picks up the resin sack after putting his hands to his mouth. "But the rule book says you can't put your hand to your ,4nouth and Burdette does it every pitch," Tebbetts fired out. Burdette, often accused of throwing a spitter, answered by saying, "It's the best pitch I've got, but I don't use It." When asked why he doesn't file a formal complaint against Burdette, Tebbets said "That's a good question. I'm stumped. I can't prove it."

Crucifixion Wounds Reenacfmenf Viewed Konnersreuth, Germany U.PJ Nearly 4,000 Good Friday visitors filed past the bed of 59-year-old Herese Neumann today to see open wounds on her head and hands and blood flowing from her eyes. Miss Neumann has ex perienced this "stigmatization," a reenactment of the wounds" of Christ crucified, every Good Fri day for the past 31 years. She also experiences lesser effects on the two preceding Fridays each year. The Roman Catholic church has never given official recogni tion to Miss Neumann's stig matization but on the other hand it has never warned church mem bers not to journey here. Calif ornian's Solution Solves Michigan Wail Allegan, Mich.

Gus Slotman said the cat-like sounds at his home for the past year and a half neyer prompted him to rip apart walls, as the California couple did. But when the California "cat" sounds were traced to a faulty water meter, the Slotmans called the city water department which install ed a new meter. The eerie sounds ceased here, too.
