WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
The Team Nobody Wonted-Port !

IN CINCINNATI, where the baseball,
Bluffs haven't had it so good in % years,
the Reds are debunking the popular theory
that ball club, particularly one that falls
short of greatness in other departments,
must have that top catcher.
Indeed, Manager Fred Hutchinson's Ma
tional League leaders had a solid backstop
and got rid of him. That would be Ed
Bailey, traded to the San Francisco Giants
in May. The Reds, who needed a second
baSeman, wound up with Don Blasingame
and gambled on their catching.
Outside of the limits of Greater Gin
cinnati the Reds catcherS today must be
the most unframed of any belonging to a
firSt-division team. Is Jerry Zimmerman a
household name? Is John Edwards? Is
Darrell Johnson?
Johnson may be the best known of the
Lot, chiefly because he used to be a Yankee
benchwarmer. He not only was behind Yogi
Berra and ElSton Howard, but he was also
out of sight. When this season started he
was coach for the st. Louis Cardinals.
He was Solly HemuS man and when Solly
got the hook as manager, Johnson was let
out, too
Darrell had to hire out as an active
player again and with who else except the
PhlllieS? But such was the plight of the
Reds catching that Johnson was purchased
just recently, presumably for a sum out
of proportion to his deeds.
-
OUR CINCINNATI OPERATIVE now
explains question which has been hang
ing for some time, to wit: Why didn't the
Reds Wangle a deal for Sherman Lollar.
the mellowing catcher of the Chicago
White Sox? Lollar is about done and he's
well Salaried but still he was better than
anybody the Reds could stick behind the
plate. With the pennant a distinct posi-
bility few dollars in salary was of no
matter.
"Lollar was put on the waiver list"
our informant confirms, "and the Reds
tried to get him. The Yankees blocked the
deal. They claimed Lollar and kept him
in the American League"
He paused to permit the sinister over
tones to penetrate. Lest they didn't, he
spelled it out.
Can you imagine what earthly use
Lollar could be on a club that has Berra,
Howard and John Blanchard? Claiming
Lollar was dastardly conspiracy to keep
the Reds out of the World Series and help
the Dodgers to get in it,
At this point you are invited to Judge
for yourself the Yankees true intent. 1t
might be pointed out that if they wanted
Lollar as pinch-runner he can make first

though 1000 extra seats are being built
just in case.
The man on the street in Cincinnati
is puzzled but accomplishing as the Reds,
only recently left for dead, carry the fight
with such backStopping as is available. In
the spring Hal Beven, much travelled,
ranked behind Bailey as the No. 2 catcher.
He went sour and was cut loose, moving
up Zimmerman.
Seven years ago Zimmerman got his
name in the papers because the Boston
Red Sox gave him ST, 1000 bonus to sign.
Then he dropped out of sight. The only
time Jerry hit was when he played for
Corning in the Pony League Average: 1902.
He weighs more than he hit for Vancouver
in the Pacific Coast League and Minneap-
oils in the American Association.
Bob Schmidt, who had been catching
for the Giants, also came in the Bailey
Blasingame deal. The Reds shipped him to
the minors inside of month. Edwards,
now No. behind Johnson and thinner
man, is a 22-year-old bonus kid who played
one year at Ohio State, two in the bushes.

Wonder Shot
By Rees Nips


WENTWORTH, England,
Aug. % (AP).-Dai Rees, cap
tain of Britain's Ryder Cup
golf team, pulled off a wonder
shot from beneath the under
growth yesterday and defeated
the United States captain, Jerry
Barber, by one stroke in a
challenge match.
The little Welshman had to
shoot from beside the base of a
big tree. He somehow worked
his way through a maze of
branches and rocketed the ball
straight onto the 18th green.
He then rammed home a Z
foot putt for a IA and won the
first prize of $4,000. Barber,
who missed a 15-foot putt that
would have halved the match,
had rs. He collected $2,100.
Rees and Barber lead their
teams in the Cup matches at
Lytham st. Annes October 13-
IA.
The 18-hole match over the
notorious 6,936-yard Burma
Road course was staged by
television company for showing
in the United States. A busload
of American spectators was
planted at the greens for the
crowd scenes. They cheered
Rees, not Barber.

Final Visit 10
NightmareSite
By BILL FUCHS
Star Staff Writer

BOSTON, Aug. %. - The
Senators open their last stand
Of the season in BoSton's Fen
way Park tonight, and this
brings no tears to their eyes.
AS far as the Senators are
concerned Fenway Park is
Nightmare Alley" They've won
only one of six games here so
far, and their last previous
visit is something they'd like
to forget but can't.
That was the horrible week
end in which they lost all four
games in bizarre fashion,
performance that sent them
spinning toward a 10-game
losing streak.
Bonnie Daniels, who has
developed steadily to become
one of Wsshington's more
dependable performers, will
pitch for the first time in Fen
way tonight. The big right
handler has an 8-6 record.
The Red Sox have seen
Daniels only once this year.
He beat them with a three
hitter in Washington. His
record also includes five-hit
victories over the Yankees and
the Indians and a pair of six
hitterS over the Yankees and
Athletics.
In his last start Daniels
scattered 10 hits in beating the
Angels and struck out 10, tops
for Washington pitchers.
Rookie Don Schwall (13-2)
will go for the Red Sox.
The Senators Fenway Park
disaster took place in mid-June
at a time when Mickey YER
mons men were riding high.
They were in fourth place,
eight games behind the leaders,
one game ahead of the Red
Sox and breezing at a 500 pace
with 80 wins and 80 losses.
Since then the Senators have
played at a 1888 clip (20-40) i.
They are 31a games behind the
siXth-place Red Sox.
Ironically, the Senators have
out-homered the Red Sox here,
ga. Three of the Red Sox
homers were contributed by
Jim Pagliaroni.
The Senators are even with
the Red Sox for the season,
6-6, due to the fact that they
own a 5-1 advantage in Crit
fifth Stadium. They wind up
action here with day games to-
morrow and Thursday and re-
turn home for a week end Sc
ries with the Tigers.

should correct this in short
order.
Saturday night may be the
turning point in the careers of
the two players and in the
Redskins fortunes. The time
to make a change seems to be
here, and it's too early to fire
the coach.
NOTES-Rod Breedlove, al
though bothered by an ear in
lection, is expected to face the
Colts. Joe KrakoSki may
get a chance in Clicks safety
position. The Illinois rookie
also is being tried as a TANKER
but hasn't shown much as a
pass receiver. Rookie Bernie
Dare and Bob Whitlow also
should see some action at Of
fensive guard.
Jim Kerr's dislocated elbow
will be in a cast at least two
weeks, and it will be another
week before he'll be ready to
play. Ben Scott also will
rest his injured shoulder an
other week. End Jerry Dan
ielS may get a chance to show
his punting ability against the
Colts.
McPeak, who had halfway
decided to drop three or four
players yesterday, put it off
until after viewing films of the
game with the Bears. There is
an outside chance that he
won't make any more cuts until
after the Colts game.
