can be seen from the street and
those who, not being thoughtful even

OF these tasks ahead, Gen. Clay con-
feSSed that the two which gave him
greatest concern were removal of zonal
barriers and how a central German
government was to be established-as
a strongly centralized unit or on a
decentralized, federal basis.
Under the unanimity rule by which
the Control Council operates, major
dinerences among the powers on either
point, Gen. Clay admitted, would throw

Clay fears, the central administrative
machinery for all four zones has been

MacP hail Better
 Be Right-Or Else!

Any baseball fan or writer even slightly familiar with the business and personal antics of Larry Stan- ford MacPhail, who came by way of Cincinnati and Brooklyn to be head man of the greatest baseball organization in the world, the New York Yankees; knows that the nationa1ly-famous redhead, who tried to kidnap the Kaiser during World War One has no limit with the spectacular. His latest effort bo stop the Mexican Pasquel brothers from stealing" his Tanks, was to get a N. Y. Supreme Court order preventing any Yam kee from breaking his contract by playing in Mexico instead of New lYork. In the order, four or five Mexican league agents" are named, including c well-known New York sportswriter, of 20 years experience, Rud Rennie by name. Another of the Mexican agents" listed in the MacPhail complaint is ready to sue the New York Yankee president for $500, ,00O and that's not Mexican pesos, but American dollars. If MacPhail is wrong again, as he has been so many times in the past; it may cost him much more than public apology; but if he can prove his case, he has given Basebtll its greatest lift since the late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was appointed high commissioner after the Black Sox scandal of 1919.

War Cost Teller $2OO, 900 But He Still Calls Himself Americo's s Luckiest Man
By AL VERAfEER NEA Staff Correspondent

New York, May (NEA)-Bob Eel ler's no-hitter, first to be remmed down the Yankees throats in 27 years, comes as the crowning point of his career. He says so himself.
 The soft-spoken Cleveland fire baller, who knows he Is Q great pitcher and yet does not offend when he talks about 1t, points out that this hitless job meant much more to him than the one he fashioned against the White Sox on opening day of 10AO.
 This one really proved that after four years in the Navy Bob Teller is still the top finger of his time.
 Those four years cost me around $2OO 900, guess drawls the former Iowa farm boy, 'but m the luckiest man alive, just the same. didn't get to play much ball in the service. You can't imagine how many nights I went to hed, wondering If II still be 3 good pitcher when the war was over"
 Weller served in the Navy on both seas. n charge of Q gun crew on the UES Alabama, he was exposed to Mad submarine fire in the north Atlantic. In the South PReiAc his crew was credited with . Jap plane. While Bob was earning eight battle stars his arm most Teinarkable in baseball-was just another arm in the Navy.
 THOUGHT HE WAS SLIPPING
 When he, returned to the Indians late last season and ran up 2 5 and , record some observers thought he was slipping. This spring, when he dropped two out of three, they were sure of 1t. But Bob Teller quietly points out that he could just as easily have won eight out of eight last fall--be- cause in the three games he lost, his mates gave him only two runs. And things could have been bet- ter this spring too. In his 4irst three games he yielded only two earned runs, famed, man per inning, yet was beaten twice. But%his perfect job against the Yankees-right in the Yankees backyard where they had never been no-hitted betore-dispels all doubt about the 27-year-old speed baller. He is just as good as ever. And smarter.
 T guess strike-outS to be 8 hobby with me, but on any more. If I set down seven or eight men in the first three innings I might be tempted to go after my record of IS. But otherwise I'm willing to let the rest of the club do Q days work, too"
 Teller mildly resents the fact that he was long known aS strict ly a fast ball pitcher when ac- tlally he delivers the best curve in either major league.
 Most of my strike-outs are on curves" he says. When I get two strikes on a man I feel he is set up for a curve. Other ball players could tell you about my curve long before it got any mention in the papers"
 ALSO THROWS A SLIDER
 He also throws sldier and change-of-pace, but pitches twice as many fast balls as the others combined. The cracking speed of j his hard one naturally makes his other stuffs more effective. Nothing Is more confusing to batsman than to expect Feller's fast ball and then look upon hendinG curve.
 Wherever he goes, Bob Teller il

New York, May 7-(Up)-Dave (Boo) Ferriss, a big, curly-halre0 guy from Mississippi, was well on his way today toward proving three items which might nnean the American League pennant to the Boston Red Sox.
 They were:
 1. That basebalrs sophomore jinx" is a bunch of hokum.
 2. That all of the games war; time wonders weren't simply stop gaps.
 3. And that 76 cents spent wisely may do more than millions spent well.
 Ferriss is the Bosox pitcher they had tabbed as the jinx's victim for 1o46. The casualty last season was Bill voiselle of the Giants. So nov 1t was to be in the other league, with the finger pointed at Farriss because of his sensational freshman year after coming out of the Army.
 ResCtkd Twice
 Dave won his first eight starts last season before the asthma which caused his discharge struck again. But even 60 he wound up with 2l-l0 record. That did 1t. they said. He was sure to be the sophomore victim.
 The 2S-year-old "ice cream kid' started out this Spring as fl msyhe he was going to prove them right. Tn both of his first trips to the mound he failed to win and other pitchers rescued the games for the flow-or-never Red Sox.
 But in his third try. Ferriss tossed six-hit shutout against the As for TO triumph and came back with four hitter to dust off the Tigers. Then, yesterday, Big Boo talred the St. Louis Browns, 2 to 5. He had rough time of it, too, giving up three runs in the first inning, but il only made his performance more impressive as he stayed in there and finally won out.
 "The credit goes to the team, of course" Dave declared modestly "The way that Dom DiNkaggio, Ted Williams, Johnny PeslsN and all the others are hitting is the real reason why we're winning l"
 But the rest of the tean-and rival batters will tell you that the Red SQx are staying right there of, top on the merits of their tossing too, and one of the best Is Ferriss And with the record to date of three wins and no losses, Boo figures to blast that "jitlx."
 If he can accomplish this feat Ferriss naturally will be taking care of the second plank in his three

He hes learned to handle these Ileces- sary evils by himself, and the Cleveland club gives him no special protection, as the Red Sox were forced to give Boo F'erriss last summer.
 His one concession is that he is allowed to room alone on the road, although even this has been lost to him during the current shortage Of hotel space. Now Teller hunks with pitcher Steve Gromek. Steve answers the phone, always tells irl- quirers they "just missed Bob-he stepped out a minute ago."

Crosby Held to ? Hits, Wins 40 ShutOut

Isnny Margolis, one Of the Blue and Whites topnotch hurlers, hand cd Coach Jack Manlaerx's Crcsby baseball nine their seventh victory on . "silver platter" by shutting out Hamden, 1 to o. and holding the New Haven combine to four hits over the nine inning route. Crosby was held to . three to three tie by the Hamdenites the last time they played at the New Haven field. And the Blue and White combine was out for the blood" of the only team that left Q mark on their lntarnished record. Crosby, third best team in Neugatuck Valley League batting, was given but two hits off three Hannden pitchers, but won.
 In the fourth inning the Crosby combine had their scoring spree and tallied three of their four runs on one hard hit single by Joe Steck, the Crosby first baseman, three walis to Bernie L.awlor, Johnny White and George HotSvert, one error and three stolen bases. In the sixth frame the Blue and White scored their only other tally on two walks to Boisvert and White and single to center field hv Margolis.
 Margolis struck out two Hamden batters, issued the aasne number of walks and was backed up solidiy by the Crosby fielders with the ex- ception of two miscues by L4wlor and Barone. The three Hamden hurlers, Skip Adams, who was re. lieved by Charlie Hammond, after the Blue and White scoring splurge in the fourth frame, who was in turn relieved by Fritz McKeon in the sixth stan3a after the former began getting wild, issued x1re bases on balls and allowed the Crosby swatters two lonely hits. The New Haven pitchers struck out nirSe batters between them while their fielders committed two costly errors. Charley Curtis and Warren Raynor of Hamden each nicked MargOlis for double and a single, but were

 New York, May I - CUP) - He started fife T years ago as John Rayeskovich but today he b short- stop Johnny Pesky of the Boston Red Sex, the hottest bali player in the big leagues and as far as oppos- ing pitchers are corlcerned-the most aptly named.
 Resky, Q Yugoslavian boy from Portland, Ore, is even outdoing the great Ted Williams in the sensation al spring surge of the Red 6ox, who ncw have won Il straight games for the second longest victory streak since Joe Cronin became their man. ager in l9S5.
 It also s the longest American League streak since July of 1922 when the Yankees put together Il wins in 6 row and the ''pesky" Pes- Ky has been . key figure in the drive, both at bat and afield. | WriteF Helped
 The youngster, back from three years in the Navy for his second big league season, changed his name on the advice of Q Portland sports writer, who sensed that the kid was headed for, stardorn and told him that Paveskovich wouldn't fit very well in big headlines.
 The big headlines definitely were in order today. Getting six hits as Boston topped the visiting St. Louis Browps,. ' to 5 and s to 1 In q double header yesterday, Pesky took over the American League batting lead with an average of .43O. He now has hatted in 14 runs on 34 hits and has scored g times himself.
 Pesky was closing in on a Major League record yesterday when he slammed out his 11th consecutive hit over 2 three game stretch in the opener. He had made four hits in q roy in that game when he ground. cd out in the eighth inning to fall one short O1 the mark of 12 set by another Red Sox player, Frank Hig- gins in 1898.
 Third F0r "Boo"
 The Red 6ox put on a five-run fifth inning rally to give Dave CBoo) Fprriss his third win in a row in the opener in which Williams drove in three runs oh three hits. It was Williams who had the clutch punch in the second game when he smack cd his sixth hit in seven times at bat for the day, . ninth inning single, that started rally for the winning run. A sacrifice and Dom DaAGaggio's sis1gls brought Williams home for the tally that gave Joe Dpheon his fouth victory without h dafeat.
 Virgil (Fire) Trucks of Detroit turned in his best game since beat- ing the Cubs in the World Berries when he topped the Athletics at Phtladelphia, to l, giving up six hits and striking out seven. Jimmy outlaw started the Tigers off to vic- tory with homer.
