|Veeck to Forget Gin,nicks
If His Team Keeps 1t Up

Dresser expected to open up his
13Ea-game lead by Decoration
Day. In three wins at Boston,
the Dodgers have hammered 48
hits for team batting average
of 1878. Here are some of their
marks.
Roy Campanella, .583; Duke
Snider. ST.; Jackie Robinson,
.545; Carl Furillo. .533; Billy Cox.
1889; Peewee Reese, .294; Andy
Pafko, $50. and Gil Hodges, 1873.
Yesteday Furillo had four sim
giles. Pafko a homer and double
and Robinson three singles and
a walk and one hit by pitcher. No
wonder Brooklyn's Johnny
'Schmitz, who used to be easy for
the Braves, had an 80 romp.
Gene Conley, publicized 6-foot-
8 Braves rookie, was treated
roughly for II hits and four runs
before he left in the fifth. Man.
ager Tommy Holmes even benched
two of his freshman infielders,
Billy Reed and Ed Mathews, in a
futile effort to add more right
handed batting punch.
Ryan Beats Giants.
Connie Ryan, once with the
Giants and later with Cincinnati,
Slashed tWo-run homer in the
18th inning to give his new pals
on the Phillies a So victory over
the Giants.

stanty in the 10th. Then came
Ryan's wallop off George Spencer.
who came on after Larry Jansen
was lifted for a pinch-hitter. Bob
Elliott. the Giants opening night
flash, went hitless in four trips
against starter HOWE Fox.
The st. Louis Cardinals were
dumped from the unbeaten class
by Pittsburgh's rookie studded
Pirates, 5-3. Three Cardinal err
rors and Peanuts Lowrey's tum-
BILE that ruined a promising rally
helped Lefty Joe Muir register his
first big-league win. Ralph Kiner
had three of the six Pirate hits.
Pinch-hitter Lowrey fell down
on the baselines to break up a
threatened "big" inning for the
Cards when they collected four
hits but only two runs in the sew
enth.
Kenny Raffensberger, who al
ways finds Chicago an easy mark,
shut out the Cubs with five hits
for Cincinnati's 80 edge. Raffy'S
lifetime record against the Cubs
now is 21-9. Grady Hatton and
Bobby Adams hit home runs of
Bob Kelly.

There's only one place to finish,
and that's first" Rogers Hornsby
commented just before the season
opened. Now his precocious St.
Louis Browns are acting like he
meant it. Running neck and neck
with Cleveland for the American
League lead. they sound like the
big noise Of early season.
If the Browns keep winning
when they get home, Owner Bill
Veeck can forget about those free
beer nights for the customers.
The long-abused st. Louis fans
float in a purple haze of content
ment after three straight wins.
Let Cleveland and Brooklyn,
the preseason favorites. over
whelm the opposition with 17-hit
hinges. The spunky Browns make
five hits do the same work.
1nTce 70 Tie DlStaUcc.
First Ned Carver. Then Tommy
Byrne. And now Bob Cain, going
the route against Detroit for a
club that got only one complete
game in three from Is pitchers
last season.
Cain, acquired from the Tigers
in a Seven-man deal during spring
training. rubbed it in yesterday
by whipping his old teammates,
81. Bob allowed nine hits, but
most of them were harmless
singles.
That new st. Louis lineup, with
only one-third of the 81 personnel
still on the roster. ruined Hal
Newhouser's bright comeback
hopes. Making his first start since
last July IA, Hal spoiled an eff
Gent job by throwing home-run
balls to Les Moss and Bob Nieman
in the last two innings.
Moss, back with st. Louis after
a short stay in Boston. had two
strikes on him when he drove a
400-foot homer into the lower
left-f field seats at Briggs Stadium
in the eighth inning. That broke
a IL tie and Nieman's clout in the
ninth nailed it down.
Nieman is the fellow who came
up from Oklahoma City last Sep
TENDER to hit two straight homers,
beat out a bunt and drive in four
runs in his first big league game.
Indians Waste Hits.
Cleveland wasted many of it's II
hits in running over Chicago for
a third straight triumph, So. De-
spite the heavy barrage, which in
cluded a 425-foot homer by Luke
Easter in the fifth, the Indians
gave Mike Garcia only a one-run
lead going to the ninth.
Shaky fielding by Ray Boone
Bobby Avila and AL Rosen helped
the powerless White Sox make ii
close. Garcia. starting out after
another 20-win season. threw a
steady seven-hitter to beat Marv
Grissom. knocked out in the three
run second. Avila snapped out of
Ia hitless string with perfect
four for -four.
Bobby Shantz. smallest pitcher
in the league, beat the world
champion New York Yankees with
his arm and bat to give the Phila-
delphia Athletics a 81 decision
over Eddie Lopat. The 5-foot-6
Isouthpaw scattered nine hits and
gave his team the lead with a
looping single in the fourth, break
ing IL tie.
Little Shantz, coveted by the
YankS in winter trade talks, has
beaten New York four in a row,
including three late last season.

A disagreement between two

any possible source. He stood by
his previously stated position, ia
voring proposed contract with

1t offers an attractive opportunity
Of obtaining additional metal.
Interior Secretary Chapman
was quoted as stating his opposi-
tion to long-term contract with
Alcan. if there is an opportunity
for expansion of the industry here.
These views were brought out
yesterday in q hearing held by the
Joint Committee on Defense Pro-

what he said was Mr.. Chapman's
attitude. The Secretary himself
was absent from the city.
