"i " SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1953 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Cbvehni mm Wins Of u m m r$ Af - "ii . By HARRY GRAYSON NKA Sports bdltor NEW YORK . (NEA) When It was reported here several weeks ago that Steve O'Neill's removal would be the first major move of Roy Harney, the new general manager charged at) outsider with tampering with the Phillies. Harney went to some length to explain that normal gripes had been interpreted as genuine dis gruntlement. The reporter told Harney that the Philadelphia Nationals were open ly criticising Stout Steve O'Neill's tactics. Harney said that wasn't good, and it wasn't, for in came Terry Moore. Two more major league mana gerial switches seem imminent. They easily could involve Eddie Sianky of the Cardinals and the Tigers' Freddie Hutchinson. Two managers have already gone, Phil Cavarretta of the Cubs having been replaced by Stan Hack before the first shot was fired. That was the first time in history a field marshal got the gate for looking at his athletes while losing exhibition games. This is the open season on pilots and there could be a record turn over. This largely Is nue to tnc totally unbalanced leagues. With little more than half of the cam paign concluded, three clubs dom inate the American League and in the National only one, the Dodg ers, has a Chinaman's chance of catching the Giants. It wouldn't be at all surprising If there were nine changes by the time of the winter meetings. A Washington block would strug gle alone without the services oi Bucky Harris. Lou Boudreau could be caught in the switches of the Red Sox' youth movement. Eddie Yoost would be pretty sure to close in one with the transfer of the Athletics' franchise. Jimmy Dykes is no more secure than the Orioles' position in the American League race. Any further collapse of the Dodgers could mean Walter At ston's return to Triple A, where the foremost citizen of Darrtown, O., fared so well. August A. Busch, Jr., gave Muggsy Stanky a vote of confi dence as recently as July 18, just beiore the Red Birds blew another doubleheader to drop the highest couver oves to By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE i;B Vancouver, champion of the first half of the split Western International League season, swept both ends of a doubleheader with Edmonton Fri day night and moved into fourth place. The Caps clubbed out a total of 23 hits in swamping the Eskimos, 12-1 and 4-1. Edmonton slipped In to a fifth-place tie with Trl-City's Braves, who took a 16-7 drubbing at the hands of the league-leading Iiewiston Broncs. The Yakima Bears found Vic toria an easy touch, 6-4, and re placed Salem in the second-place slot. The Senators lost a 4-3. 13 inning donnybrook to tag-end Wen atchee. Bill Brenner, who pitched the opener for Vancouver, and Bob - Roberts, the Caps' second starter, both went the distance with six hitters. Brenner aided his own cause with three safeties in four trips and four RBI's. Ralph Romero, who took over pitching chores for the Wenatchee Chiefs hi the 11th Inning of their game with Salem, rapped out a run-scoring single to win his own ball game. Salem paraded four pitchers to the mound in a desper ate bid to hang onto second place. Yakima's 13 hits, coupled with two Victoria errors, told the story of the Bears' victory. Jack Schaen- TO CATCH scoring outfit in the games off the pace. President Bub-ch might not have given Stanky so much assurance alter seeing him precipitate a free-for-all by throwing a football tackle on Manager Moore of the Phillies at the plate and having a game forfeited for stalling.

John Carmichael relieved the tired Schaeniug and insured Yakima the game. Len Norcn got three doubles for the Bears. The heavy - hitting Lewiston Broncs bombarded three Tri-City pitchers for 19 hits, with Don Hunter's four-lor-five performance the top effort. Included in Hunter's hit parade were a double and a homer. The Broncs had two five run innings, the first and the eighth.

Batting Al Smith, Cleveland In I dians, hit a three-run homer with I the score tied in the seventh in 1 uing to spark the Indians to an 8-2 ! victory over the New York Yank ' ees. !? f - the club Is 200.000 ahead of last season's attendance, but the under manned organization struck its level and Detroit operatives re port that Spike Briggs faults Hutchinson, an old pitcher, for letting faltering fllngers stick around too long and not having firemen warmed up in time. Pres ident Briggs also is said to be critical of Hutch's strategy, but that could be second guessing. Hutchinson, who has been with the Tigers since he was a boy, is personally popular with Briggs, his mother, and the board of di rectors. Mentioned as successors are Charley Dressen; Jack Tighe, who managed in tne cnain ior years and is now a trouble shooter there and Scout Joe Gordon, who man- aired briefly in Sacramento. Early In tne season, i nearo mat Brleirs was ust wailing ior opportunity to bring Dressen back from Oakland. Briggs Is a great admirer of Dressen. They are very close. This could be the spot ior i,nar- iv Dressen to return to the ma jors with a contract for more than one year. Th manager is tne lau guy. He Is paid for being expendable. Al Smith New Tribe Yankee Killer NEW YORK ifl If Cleveland beats out the New York Yankees for the pennant, a man named ai Smith could be the reason. The 26-year-old Negro outueiaer from Kirkwood, Mo., drove in five runs in last night's 8-2 Cleveland romp over the Yankees with a three-run homer and a two-run single. His third-Inning double didn't do anytning out doosi nis average. Earlier in the year. Smith hit a home run off Johnny Sain that climaxed ft long uphill struggle by the Tribe after the Yanks had taken a big early lead. Reporters asked Manager Al Lopez what he thought was the biggest improvement in the 1954 Tribe over the clubs that ran second in the last three years. "I'd say Smith was our biggest single Improvement," he said. "He's a real good ball player, now. Smith and our secondary pitching from fellows like Art Houtteman. Hal Newhouser, Bob Feller and Ray Narleski." The score was tied 2-2 with two men on when Smith drove one of Eddie Lopat's pitches deep into the lower left field seats in the seventh Inning. He didn't even know what he hit. "He throws one on the outside, another on the inside and then gives you a slider or a screw ball." Smith said. "If I live to be 75, I'll never understand how he does it. You watch him warm up and he looks like a batting practice pitcher. But he's tough. They can call him junk man, but he knows what he's uonig all the time." Gino's Remains Undefeated In League Action Gino's Motor Lodge kept their league record intact last night by edging Eagle Point 5-3 In the first of a ihree game program at Conger Field. Eagle Point was leading by a 3-2 count going into the seventh in ning when Sandy Barron unloaded one of Doris Hickson's pitches for a three run home run to give Gino's the win. In the olher two games Eagle Peint won over Merrill by a 20-3 score and Malin used a landslide to cover Big Y by a 27-3 total Classified! Cast In 4he Want Ac!$ and you reel in cash for real . . !

PHONE 8111 Tennis Probe Underway NEW YORK --tfi An Investi gation Into the method by which amateur tennis players collect their expenses was in full swing today with the Tennis Players League and the United States Lawn Tennis Assn. "Just looking for the facts." It all came about as a result of the cancellation of the big Balti more Country Club fixture which had been scheduled for next week. Rumors that Baltimore tournament officials claimed they were being held up for too much moola by some oi the top amateurs in the country were making tne rounds. So they dropped the whole thing to the chagrin of one and all. The man who holds the answers probably is William E. Lamble. chairman of the tournament . "If the charttes I have, been read ing are true," said Renville Mc Mann. vice-p resident of the USLTA and guiding hand behind the nationals at Forest Hills, "then discipline is in order. It makes no difference whether the players In volved are ranked No. 1, No. 10 or No. 20. "We've got to clean up this sit uation. We are looking for the facts and when we find them we will act" Sidney Wood and his Tennis Players League also is getting Inio the act. Wood has called a meet ing next Friday during the Meadow Club Tournament, presumably to llnd the culprit. "There Is Is indication that the cancellation of - Baltimore and Spring Lake and the Jeopardizing of other tournaments Is attributa ble to unwarranted demands of a few name players," he said. "This condition is detrimental to the in terests of all tournament players and to tennis itself." Until the Meadow Club in South ampton, N.Y., decided to lengthen its entry list, the touring playerr had no place to go next week. Some of us would have had to rig up a couple of exhibitions on Long Island or starve," said for mer national chn -i pion Art Larsen. Tony Trabert. the No. 1 player in the United States, was the first to deny he had done any wrong He dropped out of the Baltimore tournament and is playing in the Colorado Open in Denver this week.

J Attendance Records Shattered By BEN P11LEGAR AP Sports Writer New York Yankee fans who have been waiting patiently, but confi dently for Cleveland to fold look as if they are in for a long wait. The Indians have two games left today and tomorrow in their cur rent Invasion of Yankee Stadium but they could lose both of them by 20 runs and .still leave town Sunday night with first place in their possession. ' They beat the New Yorkers 8-2 last night and they did it the hard way, coming from two runs behind while allowing the Yankees 14 hits. But it was a victory that left no doubt the Indians are dead serious about tills pennant business. The idea that all they have to do is wait and the Indian menace eventually will disappear has be come firmly implanted in the minds of the Ynnkee followers although the records don't lend much support to the theory. It's true the Indians have settled for second best the past three sea sons and during that spell they found no sure way to halt the Yankees. But only In 151 were the Indians in first place this late in the rnce. That season Cleveland climaxed a drive from sixth by leading for three weeks late In August. But the climb wore out the Indians and they faded five games off the pace in September. Tills time It's the Yankees who are trying to reach the top and last night's game was a sample of the troubles they've been having. They left 12 men stranded and Ed dlo Lopat failed to last tor the eighth straight game. ' Al Smith was the hitting star for the Indians, breaking up a tie game with a three-run homer in the seventh and then driving in two more with a bases-loaded sin gle in the tilth. In other action In the American League the Chicago White Sox de feated Boston 7-1: Baltimore pushed Philadelphia Into last place with a 7-5 victory and Washing ton beat Detroit 8-3, leaving the Senators only two percentage points out of first division.
