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having been replaced by Stan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.

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

placed Salem in the second-place
slot. The Senators lost a 4-3. 13

opener for Vancouver, and Bob

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-

personally popular with Briggs,
his mother, and the board of di

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."

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.

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.
The New York uiants lost tneir
second straight game the first
time since May 29-30 they've been
beaten twice running and sec
ond place Brooklyn lilso lost.
Milwaukee edged the Giants 3-2.
St. Louis defeated Brooklyn 6-4.
Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 7-4 and

first game 6-2. The Phils took the

of four to the Yankees. Harry Dor

The Senators climbed on Al Aber
of the Tigers for five runs in the
first inning and Chuck Stobbs nev
er gave Detroit a chance to catch
up. Roy Slevers hit a two-run
homer, his 16th, for Washington.
The Orioles, losers in 15 of their
last 17 games, found some one they
could beat when they tangled with
the Athletics. Chuck Dlering's two
run single in the sixth provided
the winning margin.
