Saturday are Corky Valentine of j Cincinnati and Hob Trice of the | Athletics. I.erty Tom Flanigan may ■ get a chance to start for the White Sox after three straight defeats for teup. But aside from the picthers, look what some of the other rookies have been doing. The hottest hitter has been Spook Jacobs of the Athletics, who spent eight long years in the minors in the Brooklyn organization j before Philadelphia drafted him. If | he keeps up the way he started it will take eight more years to get him out of the majors. In fact it took two days to ret him out — period. He collected four hits on opening day and two more against the Yankees Thursday For the Red Sox, first baseman. Harry Aggauis and outfielder Karl Olson have been coming through. Agganis has delivered a triple and i Olson a double and )>oth saw full action in only a game each. In-1 I fielder Frank Bolling has collected ' three hits aud done a fine defens-1 ive job for Detroit. Outfielders Al ■ ' Kaline and Bill Tuttle have pushed ' others out of the lineup for the j Tigers, although they haven’t hit j much yet.’ However, Tuttle got a i | key single in Thursday’s ninth- ; inning rally that produced a 3:2 I victory over Cleveland. Chicago’s down-the-middle greenhorns, Bob Talbot in center and Gene Baker and Ernie Banks at second and short, have been flexing their muscles spectacularly in the National League. Banks and Baker each drove in two runs in the Cubs' opening day triumph, Baker getting a homer. Talbot had a triple and has hit in each game. Baker has four hits in seven times at bat. Milwaukee’s Henry Aaron got two h+ts in Thursday’s victory over St. 'Louis while Wally Moon, the Cardinal candidate for Rookie of the year honor, hit a homer in his first major league at bat .on opening day and a single Thursday and has accepted eight chances Without an error in> center field. Alex Grammas at short has fielded well but hasn’t done any hitting yet. The Pirates have been getting full work out of C'.trtis Roberts at second, who has had-a hit in each of their three games, while Gair Allie at short has fielded well but has come up with only one hit. Bob Skinner has delivered two pinch singles for the Bucs. It isn’t often that a Dodger rookie gets a chance to do more than lead the cheering from the bench, ■but Sandy Amoros, the only one to break into the lineup even for a few minutes, contributed a pinch double in his only time up. ■ <«N mi ■ ~—l

Phillies Name Roy Harney To Build Up Team PHILADELPHIA, UP r- Everyone agreed today that \h4 pennantaixious Ph 1.1 lies chose the right ( plate when they went to the New York Yankees front office aud plucked H. Roy Harney as general manager. For tlie past three years, the astute Harney has been assistant i to Yankees’ A general manager George Weiss, who has played an important role in the Bronx Bombers’ record run of five straight world championships. The Phillies could be battling for the pennant next fall if Harney brings some of that old Yankee magic to Philadelphia. Bob Carpenter. Phillies president, regarded the acquisition of the Ji-year-old Harney Friday as a | maneuver that will strengthen the ■ club. “In getting a man of Harney’s s qualifications and caliber. I feel > that we are making another stride in our annual objective of winning j the pennant,” Carpenter said. Previously this year, the Phillies I had purchased pitcher Murry DickI son from the Pittsburgh Pirates and infielder Bobby Morgan from the Brooklyn Dodgers to plug weak spots on the diamond. Any possible changes in the Phillies roster will have to wait until Harney, a shrewd judge of talent, can familiarize himself with the team. “This thing came like a bolt out cf the blue.” Harney said. "I’ll have to get acquainted with the club. I just learned about this only 24 hours ago.” Harney’s 29-year baseball background includes a four-year term as general manager of the Pirates; where he developed such young stars of today as Frank Thomas end Vernon Law. and Danny O'Connell, now with Milwaukee. He served as president of the American Association in 1946 after business manager jobs w-ith Binghamton and Kansas City, Yankee farm teams.

Mr. Nixon spoke off the record to the annual meeting of the American society of newspaper editors. Further details in the brief dispatch were attributed to "the source.” \ e The Times carried only ,200 words on the statement, including its allusion If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.

Strike Averted At Two Atomic Centers President's Panel Halts Wage Strike >- WASHINGTON UP —The President’s atomic energy labor relations panel headed off a wage strike threatened Friday midnight which would have shut down vital production of fissionable material at two atomic centers. The two unions involved heeded an urgent request Friday to call off the strike involving 9.000 workers at the Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Paducah, Ky„ plants. There were indications the government had been prepared to seek a Taft-Hartley law injunction if other measures to avert the walkout had failed. The Federal Mediation Service turned the dispute over to the panel after Asst. Mediation Director Clyde Mills reported at Oak Ridge that negotiations were “hopelessly deadlocked.” At the same time it “urgently requested” the company and two unions to avoid any interruption of production. The wage increased asked by the two unions — the CIO United Gas, Coke and Chemical Workers and the AFL Atomic Trades and Labor Council — never has been made public.

Detroit Red Wings Take Stanley Cup DETROIT UP —Tony Leswiclj, a 31-year old forward who almost didn't make the grade with the Red Wings this season, was the toast of Detroit today after his dramatic “sudden death” overtime goal brought the Stanley Cup back to the motor city. Leswlck sailed a 40-footer over the shoulder of goalie Gerry MoNeil at 4:29 of the first overtime period Friday night to give the Red Wings a 2-1 victory over Montreal Canadiens. One of the smallest players in the National Hockey League/auks, the 5-foot, 6-inch Leswlck waged a nip-and-tuck battle at Detroit’s training camp last fall to keep from being dispatched to the minors. He won the nod over Vic Stasiuk and Marcel Bonin, which was most fortunate for the Red Wings. His overtime goal meant a swing of SSOO in favor of each Detroit player since the Stanley Cup champions each earn about SI,OOO, twice as much as the losers. Jack Adams, aging manager of i the Red Wings, sajd Lord Stanley’s , trophy probably would have remained at Montreal for a second straight year had Leswlck not ; scored. "We tired badly in the third • period and Montreal was coming on strong. I think the Canadiens > would have scored very soon," > Adams said. Coach Dick Irvin offered no ex- : cuses. “We had our chances and s missed,” he said.
