SPIRIT TO BURN . , , Tommy Hurberf, 8, of Cleveland lost both hands under a switch engine
when an infant. It hasn't bothered this youngster, however, who shows he can handle a fish
ing rod and reel and play golf a step ahead of kids his age. Despite his handicap, he has
learned to hit a golf ball over 100 yards.
Lopez Finally Inherits
Some Of Stengels Luck
By HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor 1
NEW YORK (NEA) Some
one remarked to Al Lopez that he
had caught up with Casey Stengel
on platooning.
"I haven't platooned, said tne
manager ot the Iiullans. "I've Just
had a lot of success with a little
move here and there."
"Such as?"
"Such as taking out (Sam)
Dente switching (Bobby) Avila to
shortstop and using (Heinle) Ma
teriel at second base to get mme
hitting. That was the case when
M. eskl hit the three - run homer
to give us a clean sweep of the
seaion's series in Boston and
a four-and-a-half game lead com
ing Into Yankee Stadium.
"I used (Wally) Westlake in

advantage of that short left field

Philley.
"(Bill) Glynn goes to first base
in place of (Vic) Wertz for defer.
sive purposes when we are ahead.
"Little things like that, but I
wouldn't call it Dlatooning."
"Maybe you finally have Inher
ited some of Casey Stengel s luck,
laid one of the writers.
"Could be," beamed Senor Lo-
PHank Oreenberg cut in to re
mind you that with a little help
from the outside and a break here
and there? the Tribe easily could
have won three of the last five
pennants.
"We were due for a few breaks."
said General Manager Oreenberg.
"For four years it was mishty
frustrating to see the Yankees mop
up the Red Sox in the closing days
to beat us out. The Red Sox at
last gave us a lift by beating the
Yankees three straight on their
last trip to Boston.
"I don't have to tell any baseball
man that everything comes your
way when you're winning. A club
can't do anything right , when it's
losing.
"We have won numerous games
this season under unusual circum
stances that in another season easi

one run.
There was the time Allie Rey
nolds and the Yankees had us
beaten, 7-0, In the first inning.
Then three relief pitchers pitched
no hit ball for us until we won in
the 10th, 8-7.
"Bob Lemon had an eight-ruu
lead over the Yankees in the first
inning. The first eight men scored,
Lemon making the first out, but
we had to struggle to win that one,
8-7."
When a club wins games like
that, Greenberg, the old pro, ad
mits he has to suspect it's the In
dians' year, but he won't believe
it until the last shot has been fired.
"No pennant is a cinch," he
stressed, "when you have games
left with the Yankees and White
Sox."
It was recalled that Lopez, now

CORVALLIS HI Wes Ediger,
S-foot-2 end, was singled out for
praise by Oregon State coach Kip
Taylor after Tuesday's football
practice session.
Ediger, one of the team's co-
captains, looked better than ever,
Taylor said, in the scrimmage de
voted mostly to passing and pass
receiving.
Throwing to Ediger were quar
terbacks Jim Withrow and Bob
Clark. Ray Westfall, the Beavers'
only other quarterback, missed
Tuesday's drill because of a hand
injury suffered Monday.
EUGENE im Coach Len
Casanova held a "closed practice"
session Tuesdny as the University
of Oregon football team prepared
for its Northern Division opener
against Idaho. !
"Idaho has new coach in Skip
Staley and that means a new of
fense and a new defense about
which we know nothing. That
makes it a lot tougher to make
plans for the game," Casanova
said.
Backlield Coach John McKay
praised his ball carriers but said
there still were a few weak spots
that needed work.
SEATTLE Washington's
Huskies polished up their kicking
game as a major share of Tues
day's football drill was spent on
punts, punt returns and tries-for-point.
The rest of the workout was de
voted to a series of pass plays
ana some interception drills.
Two sophomore tackles scned-
uled for first-string duty were on
the sidelines, and Coach Johnny
Cherberg moved Ray Michanczyk,
230-pound end from Olympic Jun
ior College at Bremerton, into a
tackle berth to help take up the
slack .
On the Injured list were sopho
mores George strugar of Renton
and BUI Till of Walla Wnlla.

The world champion New York
Yankees go West today, fiarring
miracles, they will be ex-champs
by the time they get home.
Not since the last century has a
band of Yankees headed into In
dian territory with such a faint
chance of survival.
The Yankees play 11 of their
remaining 1? games on this tour
of Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland,
Detroit and Philadelphia. They
now trail Cleveland by 414 lengths.
While the Yankee covered wagon
grinds around the circuit for the
Inst time, the Indians will be hap
pily ensconced in their wigwam
on the banks of the sky blue
waters, clipping off their ioes one
by one.
Ted Williams
Has Chance
To Top Hitters
NEW YORK 1 Ted Williams
probably will win the American
League batting championship this
season, despite his injury-Inter-ruped
start and the prospect he
will bat fewer than 400 times.
Williams, the "people's choice"
as he seeks his fifth title, currently
is hitting .358 after 321 at bats.
He is well ahead of Cleveland's
Bobby Avila, who at .337 is the
league leader on the basis of 350
at bats.
Alwnvs a stioni SeDtember hit-
ter, the Boston Red Sox slugger is
surging at a .419 pace this month
with ia hit in 31 triDs.
At his 1954 rate of 3.3 times at
bat and 1.2 hits per game, Ted
will finish with 380 at bats and
136 hits. ,
But here's tile rub. The rule cov-
erlng batting titles specifies that
a player must oat at leasi
time., officially to be considered as
the leader. This holds true unless
he still has the highest percentage
after enough hltless at bats have
been tacked onto his total to make
400.
In Wllllnms' case, it would mean
he would be charged with 20 times
at bat, making his year's recora
rend: "at bats 400: hits 138; av-
erage .340." Of course, there is
the possibility that Avila or Irv
Noren of the New York Yankees,
in third place at .333, will beat
him out.
The big battle, which might go Indians, the Milwaukee Braves,
neads East in a lightning foray
after the National League title.
The best road club in either
league, the Braves open their 12
game tour in Pittsburgh trailing
the league-leading New York Gi
ants by 4'i games with 19 to play.
The trip Includes Friday and
Saturday games against the Brook
lyn Dodgers, who are In third
place and still are trying to find
out how it happened, and a three
game set next week in the Polo
Grounds starting Tuesday night.
The Oiants picked up an Impor
tant half . game last night In an
11-lnnlng thriller at Philadelphia,
where they shaded the Phillies 8-1.
Only one other game was played
In the majors. Washington edged
Philadelphia 5-4 before a gathering
of 460 fans, the smallest crowd
ever to attend a game at Washing
ton's Griffith Stadium.
Monte Irvln followed two walks
with a double to the right field
fence for two New York runs in the
lith. Davey Williams walked to
start the inning and moved to sec-
down In history as Casey's Last
Stand, is set for Sunday when the
Yankee caravan reaches Cleve
land for a double-header. '
The Yankees can't be eliminated
positively until after that engage
ment. Manager Stengel Is gambling
right al the start with Tommj
Byrne tonight In Baltimore, which
according to American League
georgraphy Is West.
A wild man in his previous
stints in the majors, Byrne was
bought from Seattle last week In
a desperation move. Tonight Is his
first start.

home, that other bunch of wild
