0 | Today's Sport Parade Sy Oscar Frslsy I (Rsg- U. t. Pat. Off.) I Q, O New York. June 18 — (UP) — The wolves were howling today for the graying scalp of Johnny Neun. chunky manager of the Cincinnati Red*, whose spring "wonders” were ( wondering whether they were going to fall right through the bottom of the national league. In bls second year ax pilot of the Reds, the quiet Neun's hair has whitened along the sideburns. “And It'll be a lot whiter than that before the season is over" he grinned ruefully. Cashioned from the cellar floor only by the inept Chicago Cubs. Neun wae in no mood to let the bowls go unanswered, and he wantx his furious fans to know that If he ever gets the bandages off his ball ; lub they II get a good run for their money. Certainly no team in the majors has bad more trials and tribulation* than the Reds. Johnny frowned fiercely as he ran through the hospital list. »

THE DECATVR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATVR. INDIANA

The biggest blow, of course, was the early loss of Ewell Blackwell, his pitching stopper Blackwell had a pulled muscle and, recovered from that, had been bothered by A hl* sinns and teeth so that he has! been unable to regain hi* efficiency. { "On top of that. Tommy Hughes was suffering from bursitis and | Bucky Walters hurt his knee and' ( had to be placed on the inactive) list,” Neun groaned ' Bucky * arm |, Is coming around but he won’t b«‘ ( ready until late in July." |; "And I don't care what kind of strategy you use." he added, "if you can't stop those other guys , from hitting, you can't win " Neun admits that the pressure is , on and that the responsibility has ( been laid in his lan. , "But what can I do about those injuries." he said. "Bobby Adams t wss out * month and, in hi* first' game back. Gil Hodge* plowed into him and put him out again. Gtady Hatton ha* lost 18 pounds because of a nervous stomach condition; Babe Young was out three weeks with a sprained ankle: Augie Galan has a bad elhow, and Ray Mueller broke a leg which mean* that Ray Lamanno had to catch with a bad back and a sore arm." All of which mesns the Neun has a terrific headache "One thing is sure," Johnny comforted himself. "There's no substitute for ball players." And the Balimore Dutchman is getting a little bit tired of those boos from the Grandstand managers. "Most managers get the most that it's possible to get out of their players." he insisted, 'tonly the manager can know what material he has available. "It's simply that when you have an undermanned pitching staff yeu can't possibly play winning baseball. Some people want to know why. when we get up against a lot of right hand hitters. I don't use right handed pitchers — the accepted baseball strategy. "I don't — because we don't have the right hander pltAers." lohnny said. Neun admit* that ha is on the big test spot of hi* brief managerial career. Hi* club was hotter than a two dollar pistol on the grapefruit circuit and now tt's far off form. His only hope is that the club gets a few break* — "the kind without bandages!"

■Vet Pitchers Come Through For Pirates New York. June 18—(UP)— U the Pirate pitchers wore robes Instead of baseball uniforms they could double as supreme court Justices. but those "11 old men" are keeping manager Bill Mr-yer’s club up In a contending position just the same. Meyer has the biggest mound corps in the majors but. because most of its members are long past their prime, he insists that he has to carry that many in order that they get enough rest between turns. In yesterday's 8 to 7 victory Meyer cashed In on Kirby Higbe's new talent* a* a relief pitcher, using him to stop the Giants after they scored four run* in the eighth, one short of a tie. And Hlghe did just that, striking out the last two fatter* in the ninth. After the Giants took an early lead on homers hy John Mlxe. Bill Rigney. Bobby Thomson, and Will Marshall, the Hue* came hack and went ahead when Ed Stevens hit a three-run homer. At Boston, the Brave* broke the first place tie with the Pirates by coming from behind to win both game* of a double bill from Chicago. 7 to 6 and 8 to 7. Bill Vocselle was credited with each triumph in relief roles. Stan Musial. with three hits in a* many times at bat. raised hl* batting mark to .398 and helped the Cardinal* score a 4 to 1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillie* In a night game. Trailing 1 to 0 In the eighth, the Cardinals sewed .up the game when they filled the i base* on rookie Curt Simmons and Muslal cleared them with a long triple. Harry <The Cat) Rrecheen notched hi* seventh triumph of the campaign. Howie Fox spotted the Dodger* thi.'e run* in the first Inning, then settled down and pitched a 5 to 3 victory for Cincinnati at Brooklyn, a four run fourth, climaxed by Claude Corbett's two run single, clinched it. The Red Sox swept their three game serie* with the Indians at Cleveland, winning the finale, 8 to 6 as Dom DiMaggio'* homer put them ahead to stay. Vern Steph- ' ens of Boston and Kan Kellnar and Joe Cordon of Cleveland hit earlier homer* a* the uime first was tied at 3-3, and later at 6-6. Keltner's homer was hl* 16th. The Athletic* topped the Tigers, 5 to 2 st Detroit, cashing in on three unearned runs set up on error* by George Kell and Dick Wakefield. Carl Scheib went the kroute to score hi* fifth victory, a six-hitter. He also got two hltf DANCING - A Edgewater Park Celina, Ohio SUNDAY June 20 Les Shepard and His Orchestra SUNDAY JUNE 27 “The King of The Guitar” Alvino Rey and His Famous Orchestra
