Relief Hurler Harry Dorish Wins For Sox By UNITED PRESS Relief expert Harry Dorish once again has his “cosmic pitch’’ in perfect working order, which should be a big boon to the White Sox’ pennant chances. The favorite pitch of the 30-year-old righthander confounds him as much as it does‘the batters. He personally calls it a “slip ball.’’ His grateful teammates hung the “cosmic” tag on it. “You throw it from the same motion as a fast ball but it just goes up to the plate and dies,’’ he explained. "If the hitter is expecting a fast ball it can be a little confusing to him. Some time it darts off in one direction or the other but usually it just drops.” It was dropping perfectly Monday and so were the Detroit Tigers when he relieved rookie lefty Jack Harshman in the third inning with the bases loaded and one out and pitched shutout ball the rest of the way for a 5-1 victory. He struck out Walt Dropo and nailed rookie Al Kaline on a routine grounder in that inning then yielded only four singles to gain his first triumph. Last season, pitching in 66 games, Dorish won 10 and saved many others. Johnny Groth drove in two runs with a homer and a single to lead the White Sox batters in their third straight victory. In other American League games, Jim McDonald of the Yankees pitched a one-hitter to defeat the Red Sox. after Boston took the morning game of a Patriot's Day doubleheader, 2-1. At Washington, Eddie Yost hit a homer in the last of the ninth to give the Senators a 4-3 night victory over the Athletics. In the National league, Pittsburgh took advantage of a fiverun third inning in which it got only one hit to defeat the Giants 7-5, while the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 9-7 and the Cardinals beat the Reds, 6-3. I Nixon struck out 10' Jrlankees, including Mickey Mantle and Gil McDougald three times each in his five-hit triumph in the opener at Boston. The Yankees scored orily in the ninth, when, with the bakes loaded, Ellis Kinder ended the game by striking out Mantle a fourth time. Jack Jensen hit his fourth homer for Boston. In the afternoon game, rookie Harry Agganis hit a second inning single’ to spoil McDonald’s no-hitter. Hank Bauer hit his third homer and Mantle also poled one as the Yankees gathered 11 hits — their high for the season. Yost hit his game-deciding bom-1 er off rookie Art Ditmar. Camilo ‘ Pascual, third Washington pitcher, hurled perfect ball in the last two frames to gain the victory. Jackie 'Robinson, with four hits in as many times at bat; drove in three runs with a homer, double and two singles in a Dodger night victory which snapped the Phillies’ four-game winning streak. Pee Wee ReOse also homered as the Dodgers pummeled four Philly hurlers for 18 hits. Southpaw Johnny Podres relieved Don Newcombe in the third inning and gained the decision. Back-to-back homers by Stan Musial and Ray Jablonski in the sixth inning helped the Cardinals to their night win over the Reds. Harvey Haddix was the winner but he needed the help of Stu Miller and Al Brazle when the Reds picked up their final run in the ninth. Pittsburgh took a 2-ff lead on Gail Henley’s first inning homer, then put together four walks, a hit batsman and catcher’s inter\<Jterenee which gave another man his base in the weird third inning. After Jim Hearn loaded the bases, reliever Don Liddle forced home three straight runners, and Gair Allie drove in two more tallies with a single. Monte Irvin and Whitey Lockman homered for the Giants. Johnny Hetki pitched onehit relief ball after Lockman touched him for a three-run homer WATCH FOR X GOODYEAR .' and , GENERAL ELECTRIC JUBILEE COMING SOON GOODYEAR SERVICE STORE 12f N. 2nd St. Decatur

Varied Theories On Pitted Windshields More Mysterious Pittings Reported C By UNITED PRESS New reports of mysterious windshield pittings came in today—almost as fast as theories about what causes them. ■ ‘ -1 ACanadian scientist said he I 'hought that windshields damaged in various parts of the country might have been pocked by the skeletons of tiny marine creatures literally blown sky-high by recent Pacific hydrogen bomb tests. A chemist said dust found on pitted windshields resembled dust from a meteor. Some scientists and jnany policemen said “mass hysteria.” Other scientists have already -suggested dust storms, industrial ash or even smog. An atomic scientist pooh-poohed the idea that : radiation from the H-bomb tests I could have caused the phenomenon.. | The damage began several weeks ago in Washington State Where hundreds of windshields were reported pitted or cracked — even when parked facing blank warehouse walls or whew carefully guarded against vandalism. Over the weekend the epidemic I spread to the Atlantic Coast. Mrs. Lawrence P. White of Ded- | ham, Mass., said she found cracks spreading rapidly through the rear window of her year-old car. She said she could “actually see the fine cracks moving. Within seconds, the entire rear window was a coWeR of fine cracks . . . seven hours later you could still ; hear it cracking.” A “radiolarian theory" was ad- [ vanced by Victoria, B. C., biologist I Paul H. I). Pariszeau. Hi said radio.lariatts are tiny spherical beings I inhabiting the ocean floor by the I billions. He suggested that any “tret l ( mentions upheaval such as that caused by an H-bomb blast" could 1 blow their silica skeletons into the ,

One-Hit Shutout Is Hurled By McDonald BOSTON UP — One-hitters happen rarely enough for any pitcher, but Yankee hurler Jim McDonald said today he “wasn’t thinking about one” when he blanked the Boston Red Sox 5-0 for his fifst victory of ' the current campaign. The reason was that Red Sox rookie first baseman Harry Agganis belted a single in the second inning Monday, spoiling early what would have been a no-hitter for the 26-year old righthander. “I just kept bearing down after that,” McDonald said. "It was the best I felt all year. My sinker and curve were working fine.” McDonald, a native of Grants Pass, Ore., faced only 27 batters during the contest while his mates blasted Mel Parnell of the Red Sox for JI hits, A member of the Red Sox until he was traded to St. Louis in 1951, McDonald has pitched one other one-hitter. That was when he was with Scranton, a Boston farm club, in 1948. Joining the New York Yankees the year after going to St. Louis, .McDonald won three and lost four in 1952 and had a 9-7 record in 1953. He said he hoped the one-hitter — along with a victory under his belt in the World Series last year -r---would be the start of a big year. “I’d like 19 more like the one yesterday,” he said. Wiest Funeral To Be Held Wednesday Services for Mrs. Alma R. Wiest, 60, widow Os Clyde Wiest, were conducted this afternoon in Huntington.

0- o Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) By Oscar Fraley 0— — o NEW YORK UP — Gerald (Jed) Black wants the fight world to know today that he is no Chuck Davey—and he has the nose to prove it. Black is the 24-year old welterweight who tackles Joey Klein of New York in Friday night’s televised bit of fisticuffs from St. Nicholas Arena. There is one similarity between him and Davey. Both of them graduated from Michigan State College. There are, however, dissimilarities. Davey is a fancy Dan type. Black is an aggressive puncher who loves to mix it up. Davey flashed briefly and extravagantly across the welterweight horizon before Kid Gavilan put him into almost total eclipse. Black, well on his way to the top, figures he has the equipment to last in almost any leather pushing company. -“l’m a different type of fighter than is Chuck,” explains Black, a young man from Janesville, Wis., who now lives in Oak Park, 111. “I like to think of myself as a boxer but I know underneath that I’m a fighter.” His nose is exhibit A. For while the young business administration graduate has had only 29 professional fights that battered beak would do credit to a veteran trial horse. The bridge is flatter than

a house detective’s arches and the tip manages somehow to go three directions at once, all sidewise. The polished speech and bright, happy brown eyes somehow seem incongruous behind that splattered facade. Jed explains it easily. "I started boxing in the CYO when I was only 12 years old," he grins. “Then, when I was a junior in high school I .had an amateur fight. The man who is now my father-in-law was a referee for American Legion bouts and he needed a fighter. I was it.” That bout got Jed into trouble a few years later after he had started to win a reputation at Michigan State. IT won the NCAiA welterweight championship in my sophomore year," he relates, “and they began to dig into my background. When they found out about that amateur bout I was declared ineligible. It really made me fell bad, because I wanted to make the Olympic team.” ■Black tried, and almbst made it anyhow. He won the regional filvmnift trials at Tolodo.- tlhiA hut was beaten in . the fingja at City, failing to win a’’placew’w Alternate. Thus, in September of 1952, Jed turned pro and had his first cash ■ 1- *» —

Now he has 27 wilts, including 14 knockouts, against thdt one loss and a recent draw with Chioo Vojar. Black is an intelligent young man whose three brothers ajl are college graduates. One is an automotive executive; another is a Michigan graduate who is an aeronautical engineer, and the third is a recent Wisconsin graduate.
