Spitballs are a myth con cocted by players who are more crybabies than athletes while beanball charges are trumped up 90 per cent of the time. 2. Managers are victims of their own nerves because they are frightened men with a job span of only three or four sea sons. 3. Ninety per cent of ejections are for profanity on the personal insult side "which usually is on ly a four-letter attempt to cover up the player's own failure." 4. Pitchers today have no chance" against the lively ball, light bats, short fences and tiny strike zone. SINCERE KICKERS" "For 20 years 1 did my best to enlarge the strike zone," Pinelli writes in True magazine later. this week, making an admission which will start the hitters screaming all over again. "And I called pilches strikes if the slight est part of the ball shaded the target area." There are in the major leagues what Babe describes as. "sincere kickers." Among these he lists such as Ted Kluszewski, Wally Post, Harvey Kuenn, Jackie Jen sen, Eddie Yost, Richie Ashburn, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges, Johnny Lo gan and Don Demeter, anarchist school of kicking." Earl Torgeson "One of the worst complainers." Solly Henius "Master agitator and showboat kicker." Eddie Slanky "Worst kicker and slaller I ever met." Frank Thomas "Chronic grip er." Orlando Cepeda "Walking pow der keg." Willie Jones "Among the worst criers and a 'surveyor' who holds out his bat to show where the pitch went." Walt Alston "Grim, bitter type kicker." Billy Locs "A sulker." Don Hoak "Tantrum thrower." Billy Martin "Argument fak. er. Hank. Foiles "Tricky alibi type." NO AUTOMATIC THUMB Pinelli is proud of being de scribed as the man who "made a tame cat out of Leo the Lion He alleges that once Durocher called him a "two-bit guinea" and invited him under the stands. Pinelli claims that when he fol lowed Leo to the dugout as if ac cepting "Durocher began to show alarm" and Babe told him: "Me fight you?" Pinelli relates. "Why, you fresh punk, you couldn't punch your way out of a pa per bag. You never won a fight in your life." From that day on, Pinelli says, Durocher never again gave him any sass. But Babe may hear a lot of lip from Leo and the oth ers after this blast in view of the fact thai he no longer owns the au tomatic thumb. .667 .615 .545 Hi .545 Hi .545 1V4 .273 4' Sq. Ft.

Hilliard, whose selection to the North squad of the league All- Stars was announced just Sunday morning, revealed a couple of the reasons he was selected when he stepped to the plate in the sixth inning and powered one over the left field wall with one man on and then came back in the seventh to repeat the performance, this time with the sacks loaded. Fruzza, one of the oldest play ers in the league, limping from an. ankle injury, blasted his four master with nobody on in the sixth and then retired from the ball-game. Earning credit for the victory was Weed starting hurler Dave Lemos who allowed the Kubs six of their nine hits, struck out seven and walked six before leaving the game in the sixth in favor of Norm Swan who did the mopping up. The loss was charged to Kub starter Ed Vegley, the first of four Kub chuckers to get work Vcglcy stepped down in the third frame after issuing seven Weed knocks. His relief, Wayne Hirona ka, before turning the mound over to big Bob Janes in the sixth, gave up Milliard's first homer and also felt Fruzza's wrath. After loading the bases with a pair of walks and a single, Janes was lifted to be replaced by ver satile Mike Dolan. Dolan was greeted by Hilliard's grand slam mer. Dolan, who started at shortstop for the Kubs, and catcher Bob Kelly each rapped a pair of sin gles to lead the Kub batsmen and third baseman Mike McKenzie ac -t-i. .. ..,..:u..t I U.. wujiwic nas touii lumeu uy .cihci wtTD Al fielder Jeff Smith who smashed E.

Their lead was narrowed 5-3 when a pair of walks combined with singles by Kelly and McKen zie for three KF tallies in the top of the fourth. This, however, was as close as the Klamath Falls club was to get, the Sons adding three markers in each the fifth and sixth frames and Hilliard's four in the seventh.
