Kansas City and Cincinnati
haven't had much to cheer
about so far this spring but
they certainly boast the sea
son's healthies t-looking
"cripples" in Ned Garver and
George Crowe.
Both were huge question
marks this spring. Garver,
hobbled by a lame arm, had
won a total of six games over
the last two years. And
Crowe, grooved to replace
Ted Kluszewski at first base,
had a knee ailment that
threatened to sideline him at
the start of the season.
But today . the 32-year-old
Garver has a 4-1 record for
the Athletics while Crowe has
21 runs batted in and a .367
batting average for the Red
legs. Garver notched his fourth
victory and . second shutout

left the White Sox in the
American league cellar, 7V
games behind the front-running
New York Yankees.
Pirates' Streak Snapped
Crowe, who has been alter
nating with Steve Bilko at
first, knocked in five runs
with his third homer and two
singles as the Redlegs snapped
the Pittsburgh Pirates' six
game winning streak, 9-4. His
.367 batting average is the
third highest in the league.
The Cleveland Indians
whipped the Detroit Tigers,
8-5, in the only other AL game
while the San Francisco Gi

nals, 4-2, and the Los Angeles
Dodgers scored a 4-2, 11-in-ning
decision over the Chi
cago Cubs in other NL activity."
First-baseman Vic Power
provided Garver with the
runs he needed when he hit
a three-run homer off Jim
Wilson in the sixth inning.
The blow came with two out
after singles by , Mike Baxes
and Hector Lopez and dealt
Wilson his second defeat. Gar
ver spaced out seven singles
and never was in serious
trouble in going the route for
the third time.
Crowe singled home a run
in the first inning, homered
with one on in the eighth and
singled two more tallies across
