The youthful look is all part
of General Manager Branch
Rickey's plan to build for the
future. and Haney has the task
Of welding the youngsters into
a major league combination. It's
been tough job for Haney, who
piloted the Hollywood Stars into
first place in the Pacific Coast
League last season.
With Hollywood in 1852,
Haney's team had 1879 successful
bunts.
II didn't have much power to
work with" he recalled. But we
had the speed and used it to
take an extra base. We had to
play for a run every chance we
had, just as the Pirates must
this season. The only difference
is it worked last year, but not
this season."
However, there will be more
than bunting practice for the
next three days, Haney en-
phasized. He said it's going to
be just like spring training.

Baltimore Colts Due
To GET Bob Williams
In Deal With Bears
Special Dispateh to The Stor

BALTIMORE, July 13. - The
Baltimore Colts are reported on
the verge of closing a deal with
the Chicago Bears that would
bring Quarterback Bob Williams
here to play for the Colts. Will
liams, native Baltimorean, was
a schoolboy football star at Loy-
ola High School.
An All-America quarterback at
Notre Dame in 1949 and 80, Bob
didn't click too we'll in his two
years with the Bears. He spent
much of last season on the bench
while Steve Romaik and George
Blanda handled the quarterback
ing.
O'Connell Signing Factor.
The Chicago Clubs signing of
Tommy O'Connell of Illinois,
the Nations leading college
passer last season, is believed to
have paved the way for the
trade of Williams to Baltimore.
O'Connell, who enrolled at
Notre Dame as a freshman and
later transferred to Illinois, was
the Bears 18th draft choice a
year ago. Williams was Owner
Coach George Halas' No. !
choice in 1851.
O'Connell was eligible for the
draft in 1852 because his original
class at Notre Dame graduated
then. But his one-year wait
before resuming his football
career extended his college
eligibility through last season.
Williams appearance in Colts
uniform is almost certain to be
approved by Baltimore fans. The
Colts are in bad way for quar-
terbacks and some fans have
| been critical of Coach Keith
Molesworth's failure to draft
Maryland's Jack Scarbath, an
other Baltimorean, who was the
No. l choice of the Washington
Redskins. A deal for Williams
might ease the criticism.
Might Click With Colts.
Then, too, the canny Moles-
worth, who once masterminded
the Bears offense, might sue
ceed with Williams where Halas
and his assistant, Clark Shaugh-
messy, apparently failed. Moles-
worth is credited with improving
Pittsburgh's offense last year
when he was assistant to Joe
Bach.
In three years at Notre Dame
Williams completed 100 passes
for 2,519 yards and 26 touch
downs. In his first year with
the Bears, as an understudy to
Johnny Lujack and Romanik.
Bobby completed IA of 33 passes
for 146 yards and one touch
down.
The 23-year-old Williams. who
stands 6-foot-1 and weighs
close to 200, may have another
Notre Dame rival for the Colts
quarterbacking job in Frank
Tripucka. who was with the
Dallas Texans last year. The
Texans franchise was taken
over by the Colts.

Mats Given Chance
ToNurse Homer Pains
On 3-Day Vacation

With the exception of Mickey
Vernon, their lone participant in
the All-Star game tomorrow at
Cincinnati, the Mats get a three
day vacation before taking their
three-game losing streak to Chi
cago.
While dipping their fishing
lines. Washington's pitchers pos
sibly will reflect on the misery
that opponents home runs have
caused them this year. The dam
age has been considerable and
1t was the same old story at
Yankee Stadium yesterday when
Yogi Berra belted a pair of hon.
erS to lead the Yankees to a 6-5
triumph.
That victory came as the re-
suit of Gene Weddings pinch
single with two out in the ninth,
scoring Mickey Mantle from Sec
ond, but Berra's blows accounted
for three runs.
Mats Tagged for 81 Homers.
Washington pitching yielded
70 homers last year, and already
this season the Mats have been
slammed for 81. Mats players
belted only so home runs last
year, and thus far this season
have accumulated 40.
Berra particularly has been
poison to the Mats. He has
blasted IL homers, and half of
them have been at the expense
OF Washington. In IA games the
Yankees have clipped Mats
pitchers for 18 home runs, and
Is Of these have been delivered
in eight games at Yankee Sta
dium.
In the three-game series
swept by the Yankees, the league
leaders unloaded seven home
runs. AS a result the Mats are
entrenched deeper in fifth place.
Berra shot the Yankees into
a 20 lead in the second inning
when he hit his first homer off
Tommy Byrne after Hank Bauer
had walked. Washington clipped
Jim Mcdonald for three runs in
the third on a single by Mickey
Grasso, a walk to Pete Runnels,
Vernon's double and Clyde Voll-
mer'S single.
Berra's Second Ties Score.
Berra's second homer. off
Jerry Lane. tied the score in
the sixth inning. The Yankees
went ahead in the same frame
when Irv Noren walked, Phil
Rizzuto sacrificed and Billy
Martin doubled.
New York led 5-3, in the sew
enth when Al Sima walked
Noren with the bases loaded to
force across a run, then the
Mats got tough in the ninth.
Jackie Jensen opened the
inning with home run off Bob
Kuzava and Allie Reynolds ar
rived on the scene. He dis
posed of Jim Busby, but Keith
Thomas rammed a pinch triple
to left center and Gil Coan got
him across with a long fly to
Mantle in center.
Sonny Dixon walked Mantle
to launch the bottom of the
ninth, disposed of Bauer and
Berra on pop flies. but walked
Noren. That set the stage for
Woodling, batting for Willie
Miranda, to break up the game
with single to center, sending
21.915 fans home happy.
