Stokes Benefits From Ball Tilt Pittsburgh - (UPD - 'The "little guys" defeated the "big guys", 79-76, in a basketball game Tuesday night but one big guy, Maurice Stokes, is the big winner today in his fight against paralysis.

Attorney Ousted by Basehallers Tampa, Fla. -(UPD- J.Norman Lewis, ousted as attorney for the major league baseball players as the result of a drive apparently headed by Phils pitcher Robin Roberts, in sisted today, "this is not my exit from baseball." Lewis, first retained by the players in May 1953, reached the end of that arrangement Tuesday when a majority of the 16 player representatives voted not to renew his current one-year contract when it ends on March 31. The attorney got the word directly from Roberts, who United Press International learned has been spearheading an anti-Lewis movement for three years, assisted by catch er Sherman Lollar of the Chi cago White Sox. Lewis, who indicated with out specifically saying so that he feels Roberts has acted in the interests of the big league club owners, openly indicated coolness toward the Phillies' star when he observed: "I feel a sense of deep sat isfaction at the gains I helped to achieve for major league players, and I believe they are appreciated by all the players except, perhaps, Robin Rob erts." But the attorney added, "I don't feel I wish to get into any controversy, and this def initely is not my exit from baseball." At present Lewis still rep resents the International League Players association, and in addition there are two minor court cases pending ac tion which he expects to be wound up by the end of the summer.
