s MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dford, 0 Monday, May 25, 1959 Yogi Berra Stimulates Optimism Br JOE SARGIS New York-UPD-Casey Sten gel's smilin again - and it's no coincidence that Yogi Barra's hittin' again. Although still a last-place manager, Ol Case indicated his New York Yankees appear to be coming out of their slump and he singled out Berra as the man who has done the most to stimulate his opti mism. "We're looking better," Stengel said, "because Berra is hittin'. And the way he's been goin' lately, he can't go up there without missing." Translated into everyday English, what Casey meant is that Berra has been clicking along at a .328 clip in the last 14 games, with 12 runs batted in and all of his five homers in that span. Not Dampen Even the news that he may have to do without two of his star pitchers - Whitey Ford and Don Larsen - failed to dampen - the old manager's spirit, because he has been say ing all along that what has hurt the team the most has been its lack of hitting. Larsen and Ford, whose week end victories over Balti more helped stop the team's skid, came out of the split with the Orioles with minor ail ments, which may or may not prevent them from taking their next regular turns. 'Larson, the team's top pitcher with a 4-0 record, has a sore arm of sorts while Ford, who pitched a neat two- hitter in Sunday's first game victory over Baltimore, has a pulled muscle in his left thigh.
