New | BASEBALL _ NOTES NEW YORK #—Cincinnati Man- ager Birdie Tebbetts tabs the Phil- adelphia Phillies as serious con- tenders for the National League flag only if they get “another” Player. He means, of course, an- other hitter who can drive in the Tuns when they’re needed. That’s what the Phils have been lacking. Most observers around the loop agree with Tebbetts, Now that Chet Nichols and Gene Conley have started to win for the Milwaukee Braves, Charlie Grimm’s men could start moving. These two were supposed to take Up most of the slack left by the departure of Johnny Antonelli and Don Liddle in the Bobby Thomson deal with the New York Giants. 9... The ignominy of it all: Chicago White Sox have sent 24 Pinch hitters to the plate and only one, Bob Keegan, & piteher of all things, has come through. . . . From Ted Williams the day be fore he went 8 for 9: “My timing is still way off and I’m not taking my natural cut.” The long fences in Baltimore are playing havoc with the hitters and it’s a good bet that they'll be pulled im some by next season. Sam Mele clouted a 425-foot “out” the other day. . . . Oriole Manager Jimmy Dykes, incidentally, says he thinks the club is playing better | ali ball because the fans are behirid it. “Bill Veeck always said that as the St. Louis’ Browns, it was a better club on the road than at home because in St. Louis no- body cared about tem,” he ex- Plains. Ambulance Birth Is Driver’s 160th ST. LOUIS —A baby was born on the way to a hospital yester- day, and it was the 160th delivery credited to Leroy Coulter in his 11 years as a city ambulance drver, Both the mother, Mrs. Evelyn Green, 21, and her son were re- Ported in excellent condition at St. Louis Maternity Hospital. Most people respond more quick- ly to sounds than to something | trigg they see, the average being about 15 one-hundredths of a second for sound and 20 for sight. Phone 2-8880 - Indians Hold On Ist Place Threatened CLEVELAND (# — Cleveland’s slim hold on first place in the American League is in jeopardy. Ted Williams is in town. The lanky slugger arrived here with the Boston Red Sox for a two- game series with the league-lead- ing Indians, starting with a night game tonight. If there’s one player who can knock the Tribe from their top perch, it’s Williams. Just ask the Detroit Tigers. Wil- liams returned to action in Detroit and caused cane the Tigers by pounding the ... and by not even swinging his bat. ‘The 35-year-old outfielder started his first games of the season Sun- day, and lashed out eight hits in nine times at bat. It wasn’t his fault the Red Sox lost both games. Then, yesterday, the Tigers de- cided not to pitch to Williams... and it wound up costing them the game. . This wag the situation: Williams came to bat in the eighth inning with the Red Sox trailing 3-1. Theré. were two out and a runner—Floyd Baker, who had doubled—on second. Fred Hutchinson, Tiger skipper, ordered pitcher Ned Garver to in- tentionally pgss Williams. That was contrary to baseball percentage, since it brought up Jackie Jensen with the potential winning run. That poteptial was quickly re- ized when Jensen hit Garver’s first pitch into the left field seats for a three-run homer—and gave Boston: a 43 win over Detroit. Thus, the feat of pitching to Wil- liams ruined the Tigers. Garver held Williams hitless in two official at bats, walked him twice—the first time unintention- ally. The hitless game cut Williams’ batting average from .727 to .615. Other players should have such problems. Cocker Shoots Master OMAHA — Mickey, a cocker spaniel, shot a man. Mickey’s owner, Jerry Danahy, 16, and Jerry Douda, 15, were playing with a .17-calibre air-pow- ered pistol with a broken trigger guard when the pup leaped into his master’s lap. A paw hit the er. The discharged pellet hit Danahy square on the chin, inflicting a two-inch gash. | Are The Yankees - TODAY'S Through? Chicago [STOCK MARKET To Give Answer By TOM BRANAGAN z CHICAGO w—Two of the game’s oldest and most respected pros, Virgil Trucks and Eddie Lopat, take key positions tonight as fur- ther proof is assembled, one way or the other, on the question: Are the Yankees through? Trucks, the 35-year-old fireballer, will pitch for the Chicago White Sox and Lopat the 36-year-old soft stuff expert, for the five-time champion New Yorkers. Manager Paul Richards and General Manager Frank Lane of the Sox are on record to the effect the Yanks have had it and that this. is the year they will lose the pennant. They also have mentioned that | ®: the team representing the Amer- ican League in the 1954 World Series will be the Chicago White Sox. Casey Stengel, the Yank man- ager, dismisses this theory as im- aginative at best. But whether or not the Yankees are through, and tonight’s game— and Wednesday’s may throw some light on the subject, it is apparent that Mr. Lopat is not. Nor, for that matter, is Trucks. Lefty Lopat is undefeated in five pitching decisions this season and Trucks, a 20-game winner in 1953, has won four of seven. The Sox go into the Comiskey Park night game in a virtual tie with Cleveland for the league lead—on an eyen-up basis in games won and lost but trailing the Indians 10 percentage points. The Yanks are just one game back of both of them. Gas Comes From Well Dug For Water WEISER, Idaho (#—City officials report they dug a well for the municipal swimming pool and for use in care of lawns. But little water has come from the well. Instead, natural gas has poured} out at a steady 20 pounds pressure. The city has installed a meter to see if the gas can be put to use commercially. An Indian elephant may be as much as 11 feet high. Because the mass of the earth is much greater than the density of the surface rocks would indi- cate, scientists believe it has a central core of heavy metal, pro- bably iron. 3430 Duck Ave. (Poinciana Center) FREE DELIVERIES DAILY 9-11 —- 2-4 * FROZEN FOODS ¢ FRESH MEATS *FRUITS & VEGETABLES °GROCERIES *BEER AND WINE NEW YORK, # — The stock market continued its advance in early trading today. The rise was a rather cautious affair with gains seldom getting Past a point. Losses were small and scattered. Steels and aircrafts were the best of the major divisions, as they were yesterday when the market ad- vanced. Other sections of the list were steady to mixed. U.S. Steel, yesterday’s most ac- tive issue up , started today on a block of 8,500 shares unchanged at 48, There were a few other notable blocks including Armour & Co. 5,200 shares up % at 9, Keth- lehem Steel 2,000 up at ‘6%, and Johns-Manville 1,000 up 1 at Celanese, which after the close yesterday announced first quarter earnings equal to nine cents a share as compared with $2.71 a year ago, opened unchanged at 18% and continued to trade quietly, at that level. DEATH HARRY RALPH ROBERTS ~ Harry Ralph Roberts, 29, 1609 South St., died last night at Mon- roe General Hospital after a long illness. CONGRESS HIGHLIGHTS WASHINGTON @ —Chairman Karl E. Mundt of the Senate sub- committee probing the McCarthy- Army row arranged a meeting with Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell to dis- cuss a presidential order limiting testimony at the inquiry. President Eisenhower yesterday ordered Pentagon witnesses not to testify about any conversations strictly within the executive branch dealing with the dispute. The subcommittee then voted to Tecess public hearings until next Monday while it ponders the Pres- ident’s order. Mundt is under instructions to explore with Brownell the possbil- ity of modifying the order. Brown- ell backed up Eisenhower’s action, which cited the constitutional pro- vision for separaton of powers be- tween the executive and legislative branches, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R- Wis) contends the order prevents him from learning the “motive” for Army charges against him and his aides. Army Counselor John Adams has testified a top White House official advised him at a Jan. 21 conference to put in writing his relations with the McCarthy camp. Adams is, of course, under orders not to testify further about the conference. HOUSING—The Senate Banking Committee begins writing a bill that would carry out the Presi- dent's housing program.
