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."

To Continue Play
St. Louis (U.R) Stan Musial
was able to play in his 776th con
secutive game here Thursday
night.
Musial strained his back in
Tuesday's season opener against
the Cincinnati Redlegs and it was
feared that "The Man" would
have to stop 48 games short of
the record of consecutive games
in the National league.
The rainout of Wednesday's
game against the Redlegs gave
Cardinal trainer Bob Bauman an
extra day to administer treat
ment. Bauman gave the "go
ahead" for Thursday night's
game after he saw that Stan's
back was improved.
Pro Hoopers Gain
Grievance Clause
St. Louis U.R) Players of
the National Basketball associa
tion succeeded at a two-day
league meeting here to put a
grievance ruling on the books.
Club owners met with three
player representatives at a final
session late Thursday to reach
agreement on grievance pro
cedure. It was agreed that a player, in
dispute with his owner on a
matter not covered by his con
tract, may appeal to the league
president for a ruling. If the
president's ruling is unaccept
able to the player, the player
then may appeal further to a
board of three "governors" to be
made up of club owners of his
own selection. The decision of
two members of the board of
governors will be final.

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. U.R) A
California family's recent search
for a "cat" wailing in the walls
of their house failed to produce
a feline, but it provided an Al
legan family with a solution to
a similar problem.
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.
