Easter Punch
CLEVELAND, Aug. 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."

Notre Dame's Frank Leahy. The
over-all series stands at eight vic

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

Marty WendeU and Bill Fischer

Walsh at center.
To snark scoring Wilkinson will i

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.

As a result, the T-formation pass

in a mental frame of mind from
which he is lust emerging, ts at
tempting to perform for the Brooklyn-New
York Football club with
a knee now clear of tangled carti
lage. A pro basketball war might have
ended a promising and profitable
career for Alex Oroza. might have
