Left-handers baffle the Yanks and a sideburned gentle man by the name of Sal Magtle has cast his old spell over the Drnnlrlvnc Cincinnati and Detroit, generally picked to oounce arouna uie seconn division, and the much-maligned Philadelphia Phillies are right up there at tne neao oi uie suiuuuw . Cincinnati misht bear watching. There Is a strong suspicion that the Redlegs were soiu suorv m mu preseason rundown. Philadelphia, . ..a ha. rpvared. its sorrv Florida showing on the strong pitching of Robin Roberts, Curt Simmons and Murry Dickson. HEADLINE "Greengrass Mows Braves," a New York paper headlined today to all attention to the batting feats of Jim Greengrass, the Cincinnati left fielder who nas i. runs :a and a .611 average for the first jive games. ' He had two hits In each game yesterday as Cincinnati knocked off Milwaukee's highly rated pitch, lng staff in both ends of a double header, besting Chet Nichols t ""Roberts and Simmons teamed up on the Pirates 6-0 ana i-i.

He went the route lor the first time since last July 16 tor New Yoras b-j vnuui v,. the Dodgers. Monte Irvin drove In lour runs with a homer and two singles. It was Maglie's. second success against the Dodgers. A three-run pinch homer by Tom Alston off the first pitch Chicago's Jim Davis ever threw in the ma jors helped the St. Louis Cardinals finally make the win circle 6-4 over Chicago. The second game went onlv two innings before darkness stopped it. Vic Raschl, the ex-Yan-kee won his first National League game with relief help from Oerry Staley. PHENOMS Two spring training phenoms failed In their American League debuts. The Yanks' Bob Grim was knocked out and beaten by Wash- . u.hmt Mrnarmott 9-3. iPIa Tom Brewer, who 'ran up a long string of scoreless innings In Florida, was chased by Philadelphia as the A's won the first game from the Red Sox be hind rookie Bob Trice, 6-4. Jackie Jensen's 13th inning homer ga Red Sox reliefer Ellis Kinder the second game 4-3. Steve Gromck, a seven-game wlnnef with two clubs last year, copped his second straight for De troit -3 over Baltimore's Don Larsen. , n riun Minnie Minoso and Ferris Fata hit home runs that made Billy Pierces spow pitching stand up for a 6-2 Chicago edge over Cleveland In a game cut to six innings by rain. The second game was postponed. The White Sox made a move alt er the game that may solve their third base problem by acquiring Grady Hatton from Cincinnati for Johnny Llpon and cash. Hatton or- -.-a a third haseman al though Cincinnati had played him at second as a utility '" -steady third baseman who can hit the ball, Manager Paul Richards can return Minoso to left field, benching weak-hiltlng Bob Boyd. That Greengrass boy really had himself a day at Milwaukee, drlv . rim. in the first game with a homer and a single and two' more in the second with a double and single. Cub Rookie Will Remember Moior Debut CHICAGO Wl Rookie pitcher Jim Davis of the Chicago Cubs won't forget his first big league game. The lanky hurler, recently ac j ... o.nu nf the Pacific Coast League, made his debut, Sunday against the St. Louis) Cards, relieving in the seventh In- i nlng with two men on base. His first pitch to pinch hitter Tom Alston was lacea over . field wall for a three-run home run. si.

Although short on pitching as they opened their spring-training season in Victoria on April 14, the Tyees have what could be the league s top intield. proven ca'.cn. ins. and good outfield prospects. There is good bat power although the club lacks leltnanded nuunir. and fair speed in a mixture of youth and experience which will have few holdovers. Don Pries has taken over from Cec Garrlott as manager.- Tile young Inflelder, handling, his first club, expects' to play first buse after seeing action at every post tion but pitching in his three years as a player with the Tyees. Steve Mesner, Eddie Lake and Dain Clay, three former major leaguers, are expected to provide the club with some solid htttlnK, the necessary- core of experience, and steady defensive play. . Lake. is to play shortstop and Mesner third base. At second is Ron Jackson: a -scrappy speedster who played with Charleston in the Class "A" Sally League last sea son. In addition, there are prom ising rookies in Pepper Wesley, Primo Santinl and Merlyn Antho ny. Wesley, a big Negro boy who plays either third base or tne out field, was a star with tne Amert can Legion Junior champions of 1950 and 1951. In the outfield are Clay, Art Sesuso. Tom Keough. Jerry Kane and Armando Sanchez for a start, with further help expected from Portland and San Francisco. Keough played three years of var sity football and baseball at ths University of California, was all conference outfielder In his last two seasons with batting averages of .396 and .400 and made the All America college nine in his junior year. He is a Drotner oi Many ".eougn. who received a $100,000 bonus from the Boston Red Sox and played as a halfback in the 1950 Rose Bowl aame against Michigan. Seguso Is a big 26-year-old who was inJJie New York yanxce larm svstem for three years and In the Brooklyn organisation for two aft er being dralted ny tne uoagcis in 1950.

Pitching is needed but the Ty ees have a good start In holdovers Bob Drilling and Bill Prior and newcomers Hal Fllnn and Mike Kanshln.

Martindale and Kameroff have tangled twice unofficially the last two weeks, and a full scale grudge match has grown out of Kameroff George Dusette match two weeks ago. Martindale was acting as referee when the two met and In the pro cess made enemies with Kamer off the Mad Russian. In last week's match, Martindale was awarded the first fall. On his way back to his corner he made a mistake by turning his back on Kamerolf. The Mad Russian let Martindale have two ieel in the square of the back and sent him flying through the ropes.

By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatiirea Sports Editor 8T. LOUIS Many glowing trie utes have been paid Casey Sten gel as he led the new York Yankees through live straight World. Scries. But one he Is sure to enjoy comes from Vic Raschl. a pitcher he sold out of the Amer ican League. - "Casey - Stengel knows his ball players and knows what they can do, says Raschl. , "He also knows the ball parks. He really has made a study of the game." SILENT QUALITIES This la especially high praise since it comes lrom a top pitcher who has been known lor his silent qualities, it is all the more note worthy when one considers that leaving the Yankees could mean about an (8,200 cut for Raschl. That was his World Series share last year and' he's been getting a winner's share ever since 1949. "In Jim Turner the Yankees have the best pitching coach In the business," Raschl continued. "He helped me at Portland. He helped me. In Yankee Stadium. He runs the Yankee statf. He's always thinking ahead. When he sees a pitcher In trouble in a close game and " knows that that pitcher Is due to hit, he'll have two men warming up In the bull pen." ' Raschl . completed only 7 of 28 starts last year and that Is. the big reason for his sale . to the St. Louis Cardinals for 175,000. ' Allle Reynolds, who has pitched seven Series victories and who In 1953 saved many games.for Rasrhs, says: GOOD BENCH ' ' The main thing with " the Yankees Is over-all strength, plus a good bench. It one fellow moves into the lineup he's capable of winning that position. There's no complacency on the club. We have on the bencn fellows who could be outstanding players on other clubs." Two days later, the only amend. ment to his previous statement was: "Casey has. the utmost conft dence in his coaches to handle the various departments." Ed Lopat, the cute southpaw who knows how to keep hitters off - balance and has been a big Yankee winner slni:e 1948 when he came from the White Sox, says 'Since I've been with them there has been no Individualism. It's always been team play." About his coaches, Stengel says-: . "Jim Turner knows pitching. He has spent more than half his life at It. (Turner Is 63 and began his organized ball career In 1925 Huskies Win 59 Straight SEATTLE tm Washington's Huskies won their 69th straight dual tennis meet Saturday with a 5-2 victory over Oregon State.
