Bobby Hofman May Be New Find At Third For Giants By BEN PHLEGAR ‘AP. Sportswriter Leo Durocher is fast becoming a firm believer in the theory that every cloud has a silver lining. And Bobby Hofman is one of the reasons. The New York Giants’ manager was forced to dig deep into his infield reserves when Davey Wil- liams, »his preferred choice for second base, reinjured his lame back Tuesday night. First-string catcher Wes Westrum also was hurt and the club was in last place. Leo switched Daryl Spencer, a shortstop by trade, from third base, where he nad been perform- ing, to second, and settled for Hof- man, a utility man used so, in- frequently that his name doésn’t appear ‘in many baseball books, at third. Sal Yvars did the catching, Hofman, batting leadoff against the Pirates at Pittsburgh last yr made Durocher look good in first inning. He opened with a double and scored. In the third inning he hit a home run for the Giants’ second tally. He singled in the fifth and then completed a per- fect night with his second home run, this time with pitcher Jim Hearn on base, for the last two New York runs in the eighth-as New York whipped the Pirates, 4-2. Hofman has been in the Giants’ organization for 10 years since he Played American Legion baseball in St. Louis on the same team as Yogi Berra. He saw action last year in only 32 games and his total home run production was ex- apd equal to his total of last night —two, The victory jumped the Giants from last to fifth place, enough to make Durocher happy even though he was tossed out of the game ~~ arguing in the art, working at base, drew the honor, of first-umpire this year to kick Leo, outyof a game, First ‘place in the National League also changed hands as the Philadelphia ?Phillies ‘made it two ninth |runs off Philadelphia. in a row over Brooklyn, this time by a 5-4 margin, and St. Louis defeated Cincinnati, 8-3, in two other night games. The Phils and Cardinals now share the lead with Brooklyn half a game behind. Mil- waukee swamped Chicago, 15-6, in the only National League day game: The New York Yankees took over sole possession of first place in the American League by whip- ping Boston, 6-2, while the St. Louis Browns were idle. A five-run ninth- inning rally fell short for Detroit as the Tigers bowed to Chicago, | 9-7, and Philadelphia beat Wash- ington, 7-4, in a night affair. Cleve- land, along with the Browns, wasn’t scheduled. Billy Loes, who pitched 39 inn- ings—38 of them - scoreless—for Brooklyn against Philadelphia last year, couldn’t fool the Phillies last night. They got to him for all of their five runs before he departed in. the fourth. Karl Drews struck out seven in winning his. first game. The Cardinals battered Cincin- | nati pitching for 12 hits, half of | them for extra bases, to put down the Redlegs at St. Louis. Vinegar Bend Mizell waiked six and com- mitted two errors, but he struck out seven and lasted until two were out in the ninth before needing help from Al Brazte. The Braves bashed everything in sight for 17 safe blows and 34 bases at Chicago. Third baseman Ed Mathews led the raid with two homers and a double, good for six runs. Boston’s kiddie crop, youngest team in the majors, bowed to old age at Yankee Stadium. Johnny Mize, 40, punched a pinch hit single with the bases loaded and the score tied in the eighth inning to hs the Yankees on the winning trail, ‘Vie Raschi picked up his first victory of:the season. Harry Byrd shut out Washington until there were two down in the ninth, then had to holler for help as the Senators rallied for four Vern Stephens, Sherman Lollar and Sam Mele homered for the White Sox off Milt Jordan, Detroit rookie starting his first league game, their fifth in a rew and» seventh in eight games. © their as the Tigers ost | jas Bolling Shines At Shortstop For Bosox Nine NEW YORK (®—The boys in the dugouts say Milt Bolling, Boston Red Sox rgokie, looks like one of the best young shortstops to come up in years. It’s much too early to rate the kid but he does make all the moves. It didn’t figure this way down at Sarasota, Fla., when the Sox reported for spring training in late February. Bolling was the: No, 3 boy on ‘the list behind Lipon and Al Richter. fos" At the start of the exhibition ames, Manager Lou Boudreau told writers that Richter looked like his shortstop. But Bolling didn’t read the papers. He forced his way into the lineup with his fine glove work and unexpected good hitting. Opening day found him winning the job. “Richter had all the past record in his favor,” said Boudreau yes- terday at Yankee Stadium. “But Bolling just won the job. We don’t know yet how he’ll stand up. But he never quits on himself.” When Bolling, 22, came up to the Sox last fall from Birmingham he was a standup hitter. Boudreau took him in hand this spring. At first he had the kid crouching low over the plate, like Boudreau used to do himself, Gradually Bolling found his own groove. Talk to Bolling and you'll meet a tall, good-looking youngster who still is going to college at Spring Hill, a JeSuit school in Mobile, Ala. He has one semester to go before he gets his degree next January, He's been in the Red Sox chain since 1948, moving up through Roanoke, Scranton and Birming- ham to Fenway Park. Usually he has joined the farm club late, after college let out in June. “This was my second spring training,” he said..“‘In 1950 I was down South with Scranton. I saw Yankee Stadium only once before layed here Tuesday.
