NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-Some
of the drugs sent to Fidel Cas-
tro as ransom for Cuban
prisoners carry a special mark
ing.
They were labeled this way
as a means Of learning whether
Premier Castro sells or barters
them abroad rather than using
them in Cuba, a pharmaceuti-
cal manufacturer says.
Drugs accounted for about
half Of the $50 million in
goods which the Cuban head
made the price for releasing
lib Bay of Pigs prisoners at
Christmas time.
Makers Of the drugs, surgical
instruments and baby foods
contributed their products to
make up the ransom figure.
They were convinced Cuba was
in desperate need Of such
items. with drugs in short sup
ply there, and health problems

What could say? told him, Mr..
Rupert, I'm not Mexican Then got
out Of there.
THAT was tough front office" Gomez
= recalled. Il guess Rupert and Barrow
had to be tough because the guys on the
club were pretty tough. I remember one
time Red Ruffing got into a shouting ar
gument with Barrow in the clubhouse.
Red got real hot under the collar and
finally challenged Barrow. Let's you and
me clear the room and lock the door,, he
yelled Then we'll see who wins this argu-
ment'
you know" Gomez said, "old as he
was wouldn't have bet against Barrow in
a closed-room fight"
AFTER RUPERT AND BARROW
there came the ownership trio Of Larry
MacPhail, Dan Topping and Del Webb, plus
George Weiss as general manager. And
there still were detectives as another ex-
Yankee, Joe DiMaggio, was mentioning
one day in Fort Lauderdale.
DiMag was reputed TO be an off-the-
field swinger in his own right, although
he never permitted his social activities to
dilute his baseball skills. The old Yankee
Clipper was talking to Bucky Harris this
day. asking II Bucky remembered the gum
shoes when he managed the Bombers in
1919.
YES" Harris smiled. "At least re-
member the reports"
Some Of them were very interesting"
DiMag understated Especially Chicago
and the romance on the rocks"
sss
LATER, JOE TOLD THE STORY. A
detectives report had been passed down to
Manager Harris at clubhouse meeting
II concerned the nocturnal wanderings
and adventures OF one Of the Yankee
pitchers who shall be nameless. But he
was a good one.
Seems this fellow was letting off a
little steam one evening In O cocktail
lounge" DiMaggio related ut was fairly
late but everything was under control
when an attractive, young lady allowed
him TO buy her drink.
"rhey got TO talking, and finally our
guy suggested drive along the shore OF
Lake Michigan. And off they went. They
parked the car and strolled along the
water. The ballplayer was very careful to
notice whether he was being followed. He
wasn't.
Nothing happened except that when
they reached a pile OF rocks they spent
some time chatting, then the lady insisted
on going home. BY now 1t was quite late.
The upshot was that the detectives
report was quite detailed and accurate. 1t
figured. The detective was lady"

You have to face 1t. This
might be one Of those things
he gets over In a short time,
but it could take a couple Of
weeks"
Now Houk has to face Maris'
injury, which occurred in the
bottom of the fourth inning.
The Tigers had runners on first
and second with one out when
Dick McAuliffe lined a shot to
right-center.
After a long run, Maris made
a spectacular backhanded
catch, hitting the ground
heavily. He rolled over, arose in
obvious pain, and limped off
the field after under handing
the ball back to the infield
and completing a doubleplay.
Maris, who hit $50 last year
and had to carry much of the
slugging load while Mantle was
sidelined at various times,
homered in the top of the
fourth inning to give the
Yankees a 20 lead over Detroit.
1t was his third spring homer.

Old Yonks Even Hired
Gumshoes in High Heels

POMPANO BEACH, Fla, April a.
Aside from that bit Of indoor, .25-caliber
target practice on Pitcher Marshall
Bridges knee early in February it's been
a relatively quiet training camp season.
If some of the more adventuresome ath-
letes have broken the curfew rules they
haven't been caught, or else their clubs
have dealt with the culpritS in private.
This prompted Vernon Lefty Gomez,
the DID Yankee, to wonder If management
bothers any longer to hire private eyes to
log the courses of the gay and the carefree.
"The Yankees used to be great ones for
detectives" Gomez unused one day during
his camp-to-camp tour to peddle his sports
equipment
When Gomez was Yankee, the gen.
eral manager was tough, beetle-browed Ed
Barrow, but Lefty isn't sure whether 1t was
Barrow or Jake Rupert, the owner in
those days, who employed the gumshoes
"All know is that we kept 'em pretty
busy" Gomez laughed.
The Yankees of the early 193Os had a
few after-hours social swingers, headed
by Babe Ruth. But by his own admission,
Gomez touched few bases himself
THE FRONT OFFICE had a detective
on me, oil right" Lefty laughed. First
time realized 1t was when Barrow chewed
me out when I reported to the ball park
in st. Louis one day. He told me every
thing I'd done the highland morning
before the game.
"You didn't get much Sleep he said.
What could say? He had the report in
his hands

I wasn't the only one who didn't get much

POMPANO BEACH, Fla,
April 2.-Mayo Smith, the for

who now scouts the major
league clubs for the Yankees,
has been bounding the Sen
ators for the last few days. and
he will see them again today

Steve Hamilton pitched four

and Jim Hannah worked the
last three and turned back the
Braves with an infield single.
Jim Bronstad pitched the mid
die three innings somewhat in

field is Washington's problem"
he said.
THAT Hamilton is terrific
for few innings, and par
ticularly against lefthanders.
He's keeping the ball lower this
year. Look at the balls hit to
second base while he was in
there. That's the clue that he
is keeping the ball down.
Hannah also is a better
pitcher than he was last year.
His curve ball is better. And
