Costly for Henry Hank

CHICAGO, Feb. l8 (APl.-
Bad luck has caught up with
Henry Hank, the bright new
middleweight title prospect.
The ex-Detroit ZOO keeper
and father of five children
broke his right hand on the
last punch that cracked into
Sixto kid Rodriguez jaw last
night. He is expected to be out
of action for a couple of
months.
His savage attack stopped
the California light-heavy-
weight champion from San
Anselmo in the 9Th round of a

l0-rounder in Chicago Stadium.
1t was Hanks sixth straight
victory and 29th knockout.
THAT last punch did it,"
said the detected Hank, who
was being groomed for a prob
able shot at the No. middle
weight contender, Spider Webb,
in San Francisco in April.
Il felt a stabbing pain and
my hand started to swell right

He was taken to a hospital
and X-rayS showed a fracture.

Hank will have to wear a cast
and will be out of action from

been wagered for the first two
nights this season, while in 1859
the total was $623,284. Last
nights total was $264,719.
Rosecroft officials, however,

KiIIebrew Absence Hurts
As Griffs Fail CIevenqer
CoIuvito's Blast
Breaks Streak,
Ruins Fine Job
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staf Writer

The Senators need quick hit
ting heroics to keep from sink
ing too far below the 500 level
and thus falling out of even
early contention. They're miss
ling the constant threat Of
Harmon Killebrew's bludgeon,
and he isn't slated to return to
the lineup until the week end
at the earliest.
Washington has won three
games and lost six with Kille-
brew absent due to a lame leg.
Reno Bertoia, normally a hot
spring hitter, has been a $50
batter as Killebrew's replace
ment, and all of his nine hits
in that span have been singles.
Killebrew conceivably could
have made a difference last
night as Detroit'S Don Mossi
edged the Senators, 10, on a
three hitter. Rocky Colavito
supplied the separator with a
home run into the leftfield
bullpen off Truman Clevenger
with two out in the ninth
inning.
Clevenger pitched a fine f1ve-
hitter, but the Senators were
being blanked on three hits for
the second time in four games.
Thus the Tigers ended their 10
game losing streak before 4,460
customers.
Ramos Faces Larry
Only a game removed from
the cellar, the Senators are
three games below 500. They'll
be trying to deliver more robust
support tonight for Pedro
Ramos, who has dropped 3-2,
30 and 80 decisions. Frank
Larry will start for Detroit.
The Senators could argue
that Colavito never should have
batted in the ninth inning, for
an event occurred in the fifth
which would have prevented
