McCormick Fires Three - Mays Gets Three Hits in By FRED DOWN United Press International World Series hero Larry Sherry may think his future is brighter as a starting pitch er but his luck is sure better as a reliever. The hard-throwing hero of the Los Angeles Dodgers' play-off and World Series tri umphs got his long-awaited chance as a starter Wednes day night and sufered a 4-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Red- hot Glen Hobbie, who never had beaten the Dodgers, fired a five-hitter and never was in serious danger. The San Francisco Giants got spectacular three . hit pitching from 21 - year old Mike McCormick to whip the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, and now lead the National league with a 2-0 slate. Willie Mays cracked out four hits in five tries in the only other Major league game of the day or night. to Bive 24-venr nlrl Rhprrv every opportunity to make good as a starter but If he believes in good luck charms he'll send Sherry back to the bullpen. Shery now has lost three big league games and all three were as a starter. He won one start last September 11 and has a perfect 6-0 mark as a relief pitcher. Actually, Sherry's perfor mance Wednesday night could not be called a complete dis appointment. He pitched strongly out of a bases-filled Jam in the first inning and the first run he yielded was a pop fly homer over the left field screen by Ernie Banks in the fourth. The Cubs clinched matters in the eighth when Richie Ashburn and Tony Taylor beat out in field singles and Frank Thom as, acquired from the Pirates 1 n the winter, belted a three- run homer. Hobbie, who had an 0-4 mark against the Dodgers al though he had an overall 16 13 mark last season, struck out three and walked six but the Dodgers left 10 men stranded. Sherry yielded nine hits, walked one and struck out six. McCormick, a hard-luck pitcher who was much better than his 12-16 record last year, was working on a no hltter when Stan Musial open ed the Cardinals' eighth in ning with a single. Musial was erased in a double play and then ex-Giant Leon Wagner followed with his second hom er in as many days for the only run off McCormick. Sam Jones also three-hitted the Cardinals in the Giant's 3-1 opening-day victory. Secondary Openers Today Mays drove in two runs with a double off Wilmcr Mlzell in the second inning and also had three singles. Orlando Cepeda, Jim Daven port.

Frick Proposes Alternate Plan Washington -IUPD- Baseball Commissioner Ford C. Frick has proposed alternative means by which the Western Carolina league could oper ate in conjunction with the Continental league without violating the major minor leagues agreement. In a letter to Sen. Estcs Ke fauver (D-Tcnn.), chairman of the Senate anti-monopoly sub committee, Frick said he did not refuse to sanction opera tions of the proposed Western Carolina league. The commissioner said he objected only to a proposed agreement whereby the Con tinental league would have supplied all players for the Western Carolina league and would have, in effect, oper ated the minor circuit. Such an agreement, Frick said, would violate baseball law. Frick suggested that the two proposed leagues set up system under which the eight Continental league teams would each own or con trol one Carolina affiliate and thus avoid pooling of players and control of one league by another.
