Yankees lead ' -1 Is Again Cut "ft One Game By UNITED PRESS The Giants - famed baseball "m’racle” 'which was bora amid a backdrop of bedlam and hysteria a year ago, may be laid gently to rest by a group, of unsympathetic Brooklyn pall bearers tonight. Ift terment 1? scheduled for Ebbets Field where Sal, thb once.magnificent Maglie, will make a last-minute attempt to breathe some lite in what certainly ap'pears to be a dying Giant base- “ ball body. » , The doughty Dodgers, who went into mourning themselves after Bobby Thomson’s historic homer sounded their death knell last October, Will nominate either Johnny Rutherford or cocky Billy Loes to face the Giants tonight in the first of the final seven games between the two clubs. Rutherford and the imperturable Loes,- who blandly declares, “I don’t see why everybody gets so excited whenever we play the . Giants,”- have been - well rested for tonight’s test against Maglie and will be shooting' to increase Brooklyn’s lead to 10 full games oyer the moribund Giants. Brooklyn's mad-dasli toward the National League flag suffered an inconsequential delay at the hands of young Warren Hacker of the Cubs Friday. '? Limiting the Dodgers to four hits—one of which was Roy Caihpanella’s 20th homer of the sea- . son gained his 12th victory oft the year against six defeats. Chicago drove Preacher Roe from the mound with" three runs in' the seventh inning. ’ It was the only National league game scheduled. Cleveland sliced the Yankees’ | American lead to a single game by defeating ‘ Detroit, 4-2, while New York - -bowed to Washington, 3-2. ' . Bob Lemon, in capturing his ,17th victory, limited the Tigers to six hits while out-pitching Virgil double no-hit Trucks. JSach team scored a run in the •fff’st but the Indians went ahead when George Strickland doubled in the fifth and scored on Dale 'Mitchell’s ingle, Luke Easter’e 23rd home run with HarrjC'Simpson on base clinched niatters for Cleveland in the sixth. Jim Busby was the villain as tar as the Yankees were concerned when he blasted a two-run pomer in the ninth, his first of Wie year to snap a 1-1 tie.

Shantz And Fain Leading Athletics NEW YORK. UP — Two little fellows provide tlye-power for the Philadelphia Athletids. Short, stocky Ferris Fain continues to lead the American* League batters with a .336 average for day games through Thursday. Bitsy Bobby Shantz has won 22 and lost but four. That’s the main reason why the promise to finish in the first diVision for the first time siitee !948. But the Athletics as a team are living up to the pace set by Shantz and Fain. The A’s are second in club batting with .261, behind only the Yankees. They? are third in runs batted in with 524, An.(l they have shut out only seven times this year. Ohly the Yankees —blanked fiv.e times-liave been shut out less. , * . , A side story of the A’s comeback is Cars Sheib. He has a 9-4 record. That’in itself is no great mark. But it is considerable improvement over his 1-12 record of 1951. Despite four straight defeats to ;the Dodgers, Stan Musial of the i Cardinals retained his National League batting lead with .328.

Big League Catcher Walking Index File NEW tORK, UP —A big league catcher, says Wes Westrum of the Giants, has to be « walking index file. ’ \ “He has to know the strength and weakness of every hitter in the league,” explains Westrum, “and he has to know how to use the information to the best advantage of his ball club. “I keep a little black book on all the hitters and I study the book at home before and after games. “A catcher is called the ‘eyes’ of a ball club because he is in Che best position to see what goes on at all times. Signaling the pitcher is\ only a small part of the job. Tn\ giving the signs, a catcher must be carbful thafe the opposing coaches do not ’pick’ the signs. Therefore, it is advisable for the catcher to hold his fingers on the inside of his right thigh when signaling, Pop fouls, Westrum says, are Sthe bane of every catcher’s existence. F “The only way I know to master ■pop fouls is constant practice,” he says. z The best protection a catcher has against broken fingers is for him to keep them closed and curled before each delivery. “Knutkle balls give the catchers

the most trouble of all pitches/’ says Westrum, “The toughest pitcher<to handle on our club is Hoyt Wilhelm, who throws a dandy knuckler,” he added. “When there ar6 no men on base and Wilhelm Is pitching, I merely try to knock the ball down or ‘box’ it, as we say. When there nre men on base, however, I can’t do that. .It's extremely difficult to natch a runner on the bases with a knuckle ; baller pitching.” Blocking the plate when a runner is coming in to score is a ticklish problem, Westrum admits. “You must give the runner a fair chance to score but yon must set up sort of a road-block at the same time,'” he explains. Catchers, Westrum points out, can help pitchers in many ways.' “It’s the catcher’s responsibility to slow down a pitcher who is working too fast and’ he also can move him slightly to the Jeft\or right on the mound if he is missing the strike zone,” says Westrum. > y “Above all,” he adds, “a ‘catcher should always be a source of confidence t 6 his pitchers.” MOST WANTED (Contlßwed From Page Owe) steal a farm truck. St. Louis police said had been hiding out tn a wboded section south of the city for almost a week. He became tp-ed ’and decided to steal a car and make a

break for freedom. Martin was known as th£ “pillow case” bandit because he always carried a pilloV slip to haul away his housebreaking loot. Special FBI Agent A. F. Lo’-ton said at Houston, where Bent was taken for arraignment today, that police also had picked up a beafttiful brunette with whom Bent had been living in Texas City for several weeks. The woman, who identified herself as Alicia Larraga, Monterrey, said she knew, nothing of Bent'S' criminal background. Lorton said a resident of Anchorage, Alaska, tipped the FBI that Bent might be in Monterrey, but a search there showed he had gone to Texas City. Agents spotted him leaving \his Texas apartment late Briday. They ;drove alongside his automobile and id«mtifled themselves. llient said he was ‘‘Thomas. C.
