U MV-Can the newest Cleveland Indian, Lus cious (Luke) Easter, provide the long ball punch the Tribe needs to overtake the New York Yankees? The man for whom Luke played first base with the Ban Diego Padres thinks he can. Bill Starr, San Diego president, watched the big Negro slugger make his first appearance here last night as a plnchhltter In the 12-lnmng tussle Cleveland won from Chicago White Box -S. "We hate to lose him," said Starr. "But he' a big league hitter." Last night was Easter's first time In play since June 1 when he left San Diego. The fan busied as the six-foot, four-inch 240-pounder took his stance at the left side of the plate facing Chlco PieretU, who at five- seven 1 one of the league smallest hurlers. Bob Kennedy was on third base, there was one out and the score was tied 5-5. A called strike, three balls, a foul, then Luke rapped the ball right at Shortstop Luke Appling for a ground out while Kennedy held third. This failed to dampen Easter' elation at becoming an Indian. After the game, he said happily: "It really feel good to be wearing this Cleveland uniform. I'm looking forward to that first home run, too." Americanism Award To Jackie PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12 (AtThe Philadelphia Junior chamber of commerce yesterday awarded it Americanism plaque to Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson for his "outstand ing qua 11 tie a an American cttl gen."

Mala th. S3M I favorites om the All-star retinue coached by Bud Wilkinson, the ulit-T mentor from Oklahoma. However, the records show that the collegiAiis have sometimes won when few thought victory was pos sible. In the 1W8 lake-front football show, the Chicago Cardinals, coached by Jimmy Conselman. romped to a 28 to 0 triumph over an All-Star tram coached by Notre Dame's Frank Leahy. The over-all series stands at eight vic tories for the pros, five for the collegians, and two ties. Although the hot weather ex perts favor the Eagles to down the collegians, the champs probably won't hit pay dirt through the Stars' line. Both All-Stars players and coaches are pretty confident of that. On the offense the college lads will present a solid Notre Dame front in the middle of the line with Marty WendeU and Bill Fischer still doing duty as guards and Bill Walsh at center. To snark scoring Wilkinson will i spring such quarterbacks as Frank Tnpucka, Notre uame: jack ' Mitchell. Oklahoma, and Norm Van j Brocklin. Oregon. Other backfield standouts on the Stars' roster include Don Doll. Southern California: Oeorge Guerre, Michigan State: Clyde Scott. Arkansas, and Jerry Wil liams, Washington State. Vic Sears, formerly of Oregon State, will probably start in the i ugics line as ei lacaie. ySTANDINGS FAR WEST LEAGUE W L Pet .657 .622 M0 30 Pituburg Klamath Falls Willow . 67 . 61 . 56 . 52 . 49 . 29 Redding Marysville .490 I Medford .296 Yesterday' Result 'Marysville .

Cage Peace Restored Fans Get Break With Merging Of Casaba Leagues NEW YORK (NEA The Basket ball Association of America and the National Basketball league merged to form one organization known as the National Basketball association, thus ending a long a id costly squab ble in professional sport, and In directly giving the ordinary pay ing customer a break. Eventually the leagues might nave folded It stubbornness persist ed, and fan who like the pro fessional brand of basketball, and its many tip-notch performers, would be left out in the cold. And as New York Knickerbock er coach. Joe Lapchlck. pointed out. "Pro basketball serves highly remunerative stopgap while the young men complete postgrad uate studies, prepare for a coach ing career or seek a spot in the business world." The BAA dropped the Providence Steamrollers, a poor-paying and por-playing franchise, also the In dianapolis Jets. And the unfortunate man in the middle would undoubtedly have been a fine athlete, and equally fine gentleman, by name of Alex Oroza, late of the University ot Kentucky. Oroza and his fellow Olympians. Ralph Beard, Wan Wah Jonea and Cliff Barker, had signed as a com plcte unit, and stockholders, tn the new Indianapolis Olympian, Inc. of the NBL. It was this stellar attraction, plus the leasing by the league of the large Butler university fieldhouae with a capacity of 15.022. with which the war with the BAA was to be fought on common ground, against the latter league's Indiana polls Jets. Now president of the combined effort. Max Podoloff stated he would enjoin Groza from playing basketball if the Wildcats' center did not report to the BAA at the beginning of the season. You see, Oroza had signed a league contract with Podoloff be' tore venturing into the owner-play' er deal with hi fellow Kentuckl- an. If the two teams did not decide tc get together for the mutual benefit of all concerned, Groza might easily have been In a situs tlon in which Angelo Bertelll of Notre Dame found himself upon emerging from the marine corps and the South Pacific. The ex-Notre Dame quarterback. you recall, was 111-advlsedly Indue ed to sign with Owner Ted Collin of the New York Bulldogs, nee Bos ton Yanks, to test tre legality of the rival All-America conference in the courts of the land. i 'iki.'-. s v ,r : -1 - 4i.

A pro basketball war might have ended a promising and profitable career for Alex Oroza. might have ended pro basketball aa a well organised sport.
