Rookie Berra Walloping Ball Hard For Yanks New York. June 24.—(UP)— Lonesome Larry Berra likes to get his back slapped and his Yankee team mates assured him today that if he will In turn just keep slapping the ball, they will keep him from yearning about his carefree kid days on Spaghetti Hill In St. 1-ouis. Berra, who lived on the name street in St. Louis as Joe Garaglola. the kid catcher of the Cardinals, couldn't quite understand it when he joined the business like Yankees and found they weren't “cut-ups” who indulged in dressing room didoes. He had heard Garagiola tell of the rollicking Cardinals with their pre-game mountain music and their collegiate type of whoopee after big victories and it was disillusioning to find that the Yankees operated in comparative silence. But sll of that was changing today for the Yogi. Back in the lineup after a stretch on the bench where the silence was even thicker than In the dressing room, he has paced the Yankees to victory In their last two games. Sunday he hit a grand slam homer and yeaterday with a homer, triple, single and walk, he kept them In the game until Tommy Henrich hit a three-run double in the eighth that produced an 8 to 5 victory over Cleveland. Now the grinning Italian youngater is making the busineaa-like Yankees take down their hair and he is winning his way into the hearta of the city's big Italian population aa did another little guy. Phil Rizzuto, who also found hia first days as a Yankee disillusioning. The Red Sox stayed within two games of the leading Yankees by calling on uncle Denny Galehouse, recently picked up from the Browns, and he responded with a slx-hlt, 8 to 2 victory over the Tigers, who suffered their 10th straight loea. Galehouse, cast off by the Red Sox seven years ago.
