Indians Come Back To Edge Out Yankees NEW - It takes a good team to avert a catastrophe but an even better pennant-con-tender, such as Wednesday night's Cleveland Indians, to make use of one. The Indians turned what threatened to become a complete rout into a thrilling victory before more than 40,000 fans in Yankee Stadium and stretched their American League lead to two full games. The Tribe spotted the New York Bombers seven runs in the first inning and then held the world champs hitless while roaring back fpr an 8-to-7 triumph, decided on 41 Smith’s lOth-inning homerun. It was the 16th victory in the last 19 for the team which has led the league two years running is copping overtime games and it left Casey Stengel’s battered athletes four games out in third place. The Yanks, beset with ailments which for a time threatened to keep Phil Rizzuto, Andy Carey, Yogi Berra and Gene Wood ling , out, routed starter Early Wynn th their six-hit, first-inning exploiridfa. ' But the Indians regrouped to answer with 13 hits, including three homeruns, while Don Mossi. Ray Narleshi, Bob Hooper, Mike Garcia and finally winner Hal Newhouser took turns taming the Bombers. After Larry Doby made a circus of Mickey. Mantle’s 450-foot srive in the second inning, he put the Tribe into the scoring column with a third-inning, three-run hotner. Bobby Avila sent it into overtime, with a circuit blast off ninthinning reliever Johnny Sain and Smith handed Sain the defeat with his long ball. Mantle fanned in the 10th, Enos Slaughter lined to Dave Philley and Jerry Coleman forced Joe Collins, who had walked. Hank Bauer, Rizzuto, Mantle And Ed Robinson kayoed Wynn with straight singles and the Yanks continued to molest Mossi With Bauer's two-run single, the feature hit. Rizzuto still nursed a pulled thigh muscle and Orey favored his sprained right ankle. A heavy cold showed Berra and Woodling's sore shoulder hampered him.

Marciano A Problem To His Promoters NfiW YORK (INS)—Rocky Marciano poses a special problem for the promoters of his fight®. He has so widely outstripped the rest of the heavyweight field that, in the interest of gate receipts, the International Boxing Club feels it necessary to "knock down” the champion. This leads to an odd sort of publicity-in-reverse from Rocky’s Grassinger, N. Y., training camp. Stories from Rocky's press attache hint that he is over-trained and 'that he is in a bad frame of mind because of anonymous threats made a couple of months. ago against his wife and l»aby daughter. ■Moreover, IBC publicists have been at great .pains to point out that Rocky has never proved that lie can go the full 15-round distance —largely because he never has had to go more than 13. The bait here is that Ezzard Charles, supposedly a master boxer, might go all the way and outpoint Marciano. There even was a story, attributed to Rocky's trainer, Charley Goldman, about how they are “changing Rocky’s style” and teaching hjm to "box.” That, of course, is hog wash, and nobody know® it'better than the astute Goldman. If Rocky hasn’t learned to box by now—and he hasn't —then he never will. The Rock is clumsy and unorthodox. But Roland La Starza, a better than average boxer, suffered ruptured blood vessels in his arms, just trying to block Rocky’s swings. Anyone who can punch that hard needn’t worry, about boxing. Despite all his months in training camp, the Marciano who climbs through the Yankee Stadium ropes June 17 to meet Charles won't l>e noticeably different from the one who fought Ite Starza and Jersey Joe Walcott and Joe Louis. While the “tear down Marciano” campaign fcoes on, a parallel-build-up is going on in behalf ot Charles. Ezzard’s rather erratic ring rec- x ord is forgotten. His defeats arts glibly- explained away; his successes magnified. “The boys whose jol>4t is to put words in other ndoplp's mouths even go so terras to quote Marciano’s manager, Al Weill, and Goldnma<as fearing Ezzard and Fefprfing to him as "a vicious slugger In recent bouts.” The truth of the matter is that Ezzard never has looked worse — of fared worse—than in those bouts where he tried to act the part ol a "vicious slugger," -Charles and his handlers undoubtedly know that his chance® of whippirig i.Marciaho lay; in hi® being able to outbox Rocky and elude the champion’s punches for 15 rounds. Any- similarity' between the fight Charles and IMarciano will stage on June 17 and the one now being waged on paper for benefit of the gate receipts is purely coiucidental.

Player Is Paroled For Baseball Chance McAlester, okia., (ins) — Billy Joe Moore, 24-year-old Negro who was freed from prison to give him a chance to mm .good as a New York Yankee prospect, today is a member of, the Grand Forks, N. D., team in the Northern League. Moore, six feet two inches tall, and weighing 220 pounds, was told by Yankee scouts, including Tom Greenwade, that he has all the physical attributes to make good now' and later in the major leagues. The Yanks lifted Billy Joe from a prison term in Oklahoma state penitentiary where he had been serving time since 1948 on a burglary charge. The husky Moore starred at first base and as a hitter with the prison team. Billy Joe slammed 46 homers and had 100 runs batted in during 67 games in 1952. Last season he clouted 20 homers in 40 games and drove in 74 runs. This season, Moore banged 11 circuit wallops in 22 garnet 4nd drove in 34 runs. - Greenwade, who discovered Mickey Mantle, gave Billy Joe a final tryout last weekend. The Yankee scout had crafty Bee Sanders, former major league and Texas League hurler. pitch to Moore. Billy Joe drove two balls far over the fence. That clinched Moore a job in professional baseball. Warden Jerome K. Waters quoted Yankee farm boss Lee McPhail as saying of Billy Joe: "We are not interested in the boy’s past but we are interested in his future." In New York, Yankee spokesman Red Patterson said that Billy Joe was released to the Yanks on a 60-day leave. Patterson added that it was agreed that this leave would be extended to Moore's scheduled 1955 discharge if Billy Joe made good. Moore will receive $250 per month with Grand Forks.
