Browns Greet New Boss By Winning Game 5 By UNITED PRESS 1t Like freed slaves —with whom they compared themselves —the St. Louis Browns started their new manager, Marty Marion, off with a kev victory over the tied Sox, a ' victory that was the labor of love. . , • . The Browns were so glad io be rid of Manager Rogers Hornsby that they presented a trophy to owndr Bill Veeck, describing his firing of the old Rajah as “the greatest play, since the emancipation proclamation.’’ , Then they went out and showed that they would give out with spirit and hustle for Marion by knocking the Red Sox out of first place with a 7 to 4 triumph. Hpmers by Bobby Young and Bob Nieman gave Ned Gayver an early lead and. when he faltered latqr, the ' unbelievable Satchel Paige came in and pitched three - hit scoreless ball the rest of the way to : protect Garver’s third victory. George Kell hit a Boston homer. _ The defeat of the Red Sox, coupled with Ed Lopat's gorgeous-four-hit 4 to 0 shutout of the Tigers at New York, put the Yankees into first place for the first time this year—by three percentage points. Yogi Berra delivered three cif the Yankee runs with a pair of booming homers as Lopat breezed to his third victory, giving only two walks and striking out five. A homer by Larry Doby gave Cleveland a 4 to 3 triumph at Washington, moving the Ipdians into second place ahead of Boston. At Philadelphia the White Sox went hit crazy with a 12-run rally in the fourth that gave them a 15 to 4 victory over the Athletics. Sam Mele equalled a modern, record by Ratting in six runs in the big inning with a 1 homer and a triple. In the National league, the Cardinals broke an eight-game Brooklyn , winnings streak with a t to 0 1-0-inning victory, but the second place Giants missed a chance to

Up i— Slammin’ Sammy Snead and dapper Lloyd Mangrgum sounded shrill warning challenges Wednesday to bantam ■ Ben Hogan’s stranglehold on the National Open golf title. Snead. 1951 PGA titleholder who’s flirted with the Open crown on numerous occasions without making it a date, steamed around Northwood Club’s heralded 6,764yard par 35-35—70 layout in a bristling 31-33 under a broiling sun Tuesday. Yet he was so mad when he finished he refused to discuss his rdund although it equal-, led the course record. A bojtey 5 on the last hole aroused his ire. Fie missed a three-foot putt aftei almost holing out a,40-chip shot. Mangrum, with an eye to over-’ hauling Jackie Burke as the sea-* son’s top money winner, stamped himself as a prime contender by' breezing around in a 68—-the only, other sub-par practice round reported. ■ ; t Mangrum offered proof of fate might hold j in store for him and any of the ather 161 contest-V ants when they start shooting for the bi? prize T1 ursday.

Reveals Hatred Browns Held For Boss Hornsby

(Editor’s note: United Press baseball writer Milton Richman, who covered the western-based teams in spring /training, swung east with the Browns before the start of the major league season. Here is his inside story on the Rogers Hornsby regime.) By MILTON RICHMAN (United Preaa Sports Writer) NEW YORK, UP — Hate is a strong word .... but St. Louis Brown players used it every day to express their feeling for hardbitten Rogers Hornsby. They; detested him thoroughly—i so much that they even avoided sitting nealr him on the bench. “Look ai him standing there by himself,” said pitcher Gene Bearden one night in a railroad station, “It’s no wonder. He doesn’t have a friend in the world and he doesn’t deserve one.” On another occasion, outfielder George Schmees volunteered, “I’ would have gone to the end of the earth for that man Hpinsby because he gave me my chance«to play in the ‘majors, but now that I know him, I wouldn’t go to his funeral.” When Hornsby brought the, Browns to Meaumont, Tex., for an exhibition game the past spring, the city’s reception was coo! even though he had won a pennant there in 1950. - \ “Baseball’s Grizzled Grouch Returns to Beaumont Today,” said one newspaper headline. Beaumont fans had remembered when they chipped |n to buy Hornsby a Cadillac. After the presentation ceremony, he snapped, “Aw right, let’s get /this damn thing the hell outta’ here and start the ball game.” On the third base coaching lines during the spring, Hornsby always would be introduced over the loud speaker system as, “Rogers Hornsby, the greatest right-handed hitter who ever lived.” The players took up t|ie announcement and eadh time he Svas

paged in a hotel lobby—where he preferred to sit alone for hours—they would mimic sarcastically: “Paging Rogers Hornsby, the greatest right-handed hitter .... and the most miserable manager . . . . who ever lived!” - When the Browns returned from spring training, several players paraded into owner Bill Veeck’s office to cry “uncle.” One pitcher didn’t even wait that long. At Oklahoma City, Okla., he called Veeck on the telephone and said: “Bill I can’t take it anymore. I’ve played tor a lot/ of managers in my life but none like Hornsby. I would just as soon; you trade me.” Veeck asked the' player to be patient and hoped matters would be righted. 1 | Hornsby’s treatment of Satchel Paige was particularly harsh.- He fined the 44-year-old Negro pitcher SIOO when he failed to appear at the park for an exhibition game in Texas. Paige explained he had trouble getting to the park because cab drivers refused to accept a Negro passenger. Hornsby’s only retort was: “What do you expect me to do, lead you around by the hand?” Until this day, Hornsby never realized that Veeck'“forgot” to deduct’ the SIOO fine from Satch’s pay.
