the chance.

Cincinnati and Minneapolis

NEW YORK. April 8 (P.-
For the second time in two
years, the Rochester Royals
franchise in the National Bas-
ketball Association has become
the Cincinnati Royals.
Last year Lester and Jack
Harrison moved from Rochester
to Cincinnati. Last month they
sold the franchise back to
Norman Shapiro. a Rochester
business executive.
But the league owners met
last night and refused to APP
prove the sale. Instead, they
permitted the Harrisons to sell
the Royals to a group headed
by Frank E. Woods. a Cincin-
natl real estate man.
So the franchise is back in
Cincinnati and Shapiro is an

Maurice Podoloff and the rest

RICHMOND, Ind, April g.
Ralph Lumenti. the Senators
rookie lefthander, was a 80
loser to the Cincinnati Reds the
other day. Here's what the Reds
say about him:
Manager Birdie Tebbetts:
Hes 20-game winner stuff.
Not this year. but it could be
as early as next. He can throw
the ball by you. he's got a great
curve, but he has to learn to
get 1t over. He doesn't remind
me of anybody I've ever seen.
He's just Lumenti-Ilot New
houser or Grove or anybody
else. Just Lumenti. and the
kids got it,"
Coach Jimmy Dykes: Il like
him. He has poise and he has
CUTS. He's got to get the curve
over, but that will come. He
got one over against Gus Bell
for a third strike, I noticed
Gus backed away just a bit,
that ball jumped over the plate
and that was all for Mr.. Bell"
Waite Hoyt, former star
Yankee pitcher who now broad
casts Cincinnati games: Hes
nice and loose. II they let him
alone, the kid figures never to
have any arm trouble. Reminds
me of Eppa Rixey, and that's
a lot of praise because Eppa
was a lot of pitcher. He has
the equipment to win and. with
experience. will win"
That's a sample of what they
are saying about the quiet 81
year-old product Of Milford,
Mass. 1t isn't turning his head.
After his defeat. in which he
allowed six hits and was VIC
timized by failure Of his in
field to contribute an easy
double play in a tight situation.
Ralph said, Il fouled up, but
I'd like to get another crack
at them"
There have been disappoint-
ments among the Senators this
season. Harmon Killebrew vir-
tually was handed the third
base job as camp opened, but
Ed Yost stepped in and quickly
grabbed 1t back as Harmon
hubbed afield and failed to hit.
Bob Malkmus was supposed
to be the cure for what allied
the Senators at second base.
He hasn't hit a lick and his
fielding hasn't measured up to
advance notices. At a time
when Herb Plews and Jerry
Snyder haven't been productive
at the plate, Malkmus hasn't
been able to seal a regular
berth.
Able Pearson was promi-
nently displayed in Life and

locations, last week. But while
he's photogenic and person.
