WrestIers Meet
Friday Afternoon

The Sidney High School wreStl-
ing team tangled with the Miles
City Cowboys, defending State
Wrestling Champions, last Satur-
day afternoon and came out on
the short end of a 20 IL score.
Miles City had just too much
poiSe, knowledge, and exper-
fence for the Eagles, and domin-
ated the matches from the start.
Dennis Williams and Gordon
Myron were the only Sidney grap-
pliers to defeat their opponents.
Both have now won out of 5
matches and lead the team in
victories. Lowell Larson and his
opponent fought to a draw in
their match for Sidney'S only
other points.
This Friday at 400 pm. the
Wilhston "B" wrestling team will
be facing the locals in the Sidney
High School gymnasium. The
Eagles have had their closest
match with the young Coyotes and
intend to do their best to win this
one. If you have not seen a
wrestling meet before; 400 pm.
this Friday in the Sidney High
School gym is a good time to see
your first meet.

PITTSBURGH, May 2e (AP) i.
Howard, the Dodgers
240-pound rookie. has ended
his first series in Pittsburgh
with a bang-one that fell
about Is feet short of Mickey
Mantle's famous 1858 blast in
Washington.
The 6-foot-7 outfelder
blasted a ball over Forbes
Fields leftheld wall last night
and it landed about $50 feet
from the plate. The second
inning homer was q solo shot
that helped defeat the Pirates,
5-1.
Asked what kind of pitch he
hit of Jim Umbricht, Howard
replied:
IT think it was a slider
thrown high. But / don't know
You know how 1t is when you're
up there hitting. A ball player
can't always tell what he hits. "
The distance of Howard S
blow was estimated by Joe
Tucker, Pittsburgh sports
caster. He was parking his car
when the ball came zooming
over the wall. He stepped of
the distance from the wall to
where the ball hit. All told it
was at least $50 feet.
Last year Pittsburgh's Dick
Stuart clouted a homer here
that Travelled $40 to $50 feet.
1t is believed that Howard's S
blast at least tied that mark.

Pitching is getting to be a

Chuck Estrada, %, a right

Slipping Griffs Try to Pile
More Trouble on urges
Romos Gets Call
After Fischer's
10 Loss in 18th
By BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

The Senators, having their
own troubles, take on the
beleaguered Red Sox tonight in
the opener OF a two-game
series at Griffith Stadium, with
Pedro Ramos intent on infiict-
ing more grief on Billy Jurges'
harpooned head.
Jurges was given a vote of
confidence by Owner Tom
Yawkey and General Manager
Bucky Harris yesterday before
the Red Sox snapped a 10-game
losing streak by beating Kansas
City. However. such express
sions Of faith frequently have
been followed by 1lrings.
Like scores of managers
whose teams plunged into
lingering misfortune. Jurges is
on a spot. Defeats here could
stir his bosses to make q switch.
and the fellow who will be try
ing to whip Boston and increase
Jurges' discomfort is his former
roommate, Cookie Lavagetto.
Cookie and Bill became firm
friends when Jurges was COACH
ing for the Senators, but the
situation now is such that La
vagetto must send his top
pitchers against the Red Sox in
an effort to keep the Senators
from sinking back into the cell
lar. Cookie will fire Camilo Pas
cual against Boston tomorrow.
night.
No Help for Fischer
There's no guarantee, of
course, that the Senators will
capture even one game, no
matter how excellent the pitch
ing. They wasted a lot of it last
night in losing, 10. to the In
dianS in II innings at Cleve-
land. 1t was the third time the
Senators have lost by that
score, with Bill Fischer joining
Ramos and Truman Clevenger
as victims.
The Senators might have won
for Fischer in 10 innings, but
they elected to take q ridicu-
lous gamble when Jose Valdivi-
elso was sent toward the plate
from second base with one out
in that inning.
Earl Battey had popped out
to start the 10th but Valdy
singled to right and Fischer
neatly popped a safe bunt over
the head Of onrushing First
Baseman Vic Power.
Billy Gardner lashed a single
to right for his third hit. The
ball was hit sharply, but Harvey
Kuenn fielded it quickly in
short right. 1t appeared fool
hardy to send Valdy in, but
once Coach Ellis Clary waved
him on, Valdy eliminated all
chance of scoring.
Nailed by 10 Feet
Valdy rounded third in a
huge arc and seemingly was
headed for the plate by the
Cape Of Good Hope. Kuehnn'S
throw nailed him by 10 feet,
and the Senator's big oppor-
tunity to score vanished when
Lennie Green grounded out.

Question: I see in a widely

coming upon the word used in
some such way as HE has al
most a fetish for world peace. "
Is not fetish" by definition,
a. THING and not an idea?
Besides, how could anyone
have a fetish FOR something.
Is there any justification for
this usage?-Dora L. Craycraft,
Ypsilanti, Mich.
Answer: A fetish originally
was a sort of charm-often in
the form of an inanimate OBJ
ject like a doll or statue
which primitive tribes believed
possessed magical powers. "Fe-
tish"' is used, in a somewhat
different context. by writers in
the field of psychoanalysis and
has gradually moved into the
popular tongue in a broader
meaning. However, fetish
should still not be used except
in the sense of something that
is held in altogether unreason-

a trump to the ace and then
return the jack Of spades. West
takes his king of spades but
cannot get anywhere by leading
a fourth heart since East has
no trump for an uppercut play.
When there are uppercuts
lying around loose, draw trumps
with all possible speed even If
that means giving up a finesse.
Daily Question

and the next player passes.
You hold:
A742 V106 0AQ10 %AQJ64
What do you say?
Answer: Bid two clubs. If
partner rebids the hearts. you
will show the diamonds in the
hope that he can then go to
no-trump.
