the clouds. Somebody will get
q rum" he said. They did.
The Cardinals, who signed
Cheney when he was 1S, went
through Toms up-and-down
periods, although not at a big
league level, and gave UP. The
Pirates followed suit, and sold
him to the Senators.
April Best Month
April was Cheney's best month
with a major league team, and
1t appeared he had lost some
Of his wildness. He, no longer,
twisted his uniform into q
pretzel shape, and he wasn't as
nervous. But now he's strug-
Cling.
OF course it's tough to win
without runs, no pitcher ever
has conquered that weakness,
and in two Of Toms three
losses he didn't have q run be-
hind him when ne left the
game. In the other he had
three, Boston had five.
Cheney leads the American
League in strikeouts with 56,
and is respected as one of the
best righthanders in the cir
cult. But he's still an incon-
sistent performer. Undoubtedly
Tom would win more with a
first-division club.
Before he left for q pinch

Sandy Koufax made his first
start for the Dodgers last night
since pitching q no-hitter
against the Giants. but Bob
Hendley of the Braves stole
the spotlight.
The 24-year-old Hendley
pitched Milwaukee 70 q 9-3
triumph over the Cardinals and
came within two outs Of du-
plicating Koufax's four-day-
old masterpiece.
Hendley got Julian Javier on
q grounder to open the ninth,
but Pinch-hitter George Alt
man reached first when Frank
Boiling booted his grounder.
That seemed to unsettle Hend-
ley, who was then tagged for q
triple to right-center by Curt
Flood for the first st. Louis
hit.
Before Hendley regained his
composure. the Cardinals had
two more hits and three runs.
But nothing could dim the per-
formance Of the young left
hander, who pitched probably
the finest game In his three
seasons in the majors.

Koufax, meanwhile, was
touched for IL hits, but struck

After one more stop, De-

The Stays played their fourth
straight Catholic League bas-
ketball game away from De-
Matha last night, and recorded

over O'Connell at O'Connell.
Next Friday the Stays play
Gonzaga at Carroll to close out
their first-half schedule. A

DeMatha a tie with st. Johns
for the first half championship.
The Stays then play all five of
their second-half games in their
own gym.
Not that DeMatha hasn't put
on a good road show. The Stays
trailed 1910 after one period
last night, caught the Knights
in the second period, and won
going away.
O'Connell was leading, 17-14,
on the shooting of Dick Buckley
and Steve Matson, when De-
Matha scored IL straight points
to take the lead for good. 1t
was only 1884 after three
periods. but the Stags scored
three baskets in the first min
ute of the last period to quash
O'Connell's hopes and guar
antee their 10th victory in 10
starts.
The knights also are looking
to the future, as Willie Ricks,
their 6-foot-4 center, returns
to action after a nine-week
layoff because of grades. Kicks
will start next Friday against
st. Johns.
Lack Of height stopped
O'Connell from pulling away
in the first half, as DeMatha's
Jim Mcbride, Jim Colliflower
and Joe Kennedy controlled
the offensive backboards. Nc
Bride led all scorers with %
points, one more than Buckley.

A year ago Johnny Bowers
was a seldom-used substitute
on a third-place team. Today
he is the big" reason North
wood High School is driving for
its first Montgomery County
basketball championship.
Bowers scored 81 points-his
career Highland hauled down
IL rebounds to spark the In
dians to a surprisingly easy
59-39 victory over Montgomery
Blair last night before a packed
house of l,l00 at Northwood.
Northwood now has a 81
league record and is tied with
Bethesda Chevy Chase for first
place. Blair fell into a tie with
Walter johnson for third with a
% mark.
Bowers, a 6-foot-6 senior,
made the most of a 4-inch
height advantage over the tall
est Blair player and with the
help of Scott MacDougal (6-4)
dominated the boards.
While Bowers was taking care
of the big" assignment, Richie
Farmer tended to the little"
Job. The 5-foot-l0 backcourt
chief directed the Indians at
tack against Blair's zone de-
fense and stole the ball on
numerous occasions. disrupting
any continuity the Blazers tried
to establish in their offense.
Farmer finished with 13
points-two below his average
with nine coming in the second
half when Northwood took con-
troll.
Bowers did most of his dam
age before intermission, scoring
IL points and blocking enough
shots to discourage Blair from
driving too often. He sank 8
