Cards' Stall Causes Umps To Forfeit Game ST.

Rival managers Terry 'Moore and Eddie Stanky, open enemies since Moore w«a aus ted *s a Cardinal coach, were in the thick of the melee and Stanky came out with a black eye. Shortly after the riot, umpire Babe •Pinelli ordered the game forfeited. to the Phillies (because of delaying tactioe hy the Cards, giving Philadelphia a eweep of the

twin bill. , Stanky promptly protested the forfeiture In a telegraiq to National league president Warren Giles, charging that both the delay and free-foisail ■ were "precipitated by members of the Philadelphia club.” Thd fist-swinging was touched off by Cards’ catcher Sal Yvans an<| Earl Torgeson of the Phils, who got into an argument at the plate equated off to settle it with their stets. Moore, jaat last, week named manager of the Phils, caced out of the dugout and grabbed Yvars. stanky, who fired Moore as coach of the Cardinals, tackled Moore and grappled with him. PJayene from both sides then streamed onto the field, hitting, wrestling and mauling each other until police finally broke them up. Both Y vars and Torgeson wea-e from the game and play was resumed. But shortly afterward. Pinelli notified the press box that he forfeited the game to Philadelphia because Stanky was trying to delay play until darkness set in so that it would not be an official game. The game was in the first half of the fifth inning with the Phils leading 8 to 1. Philadelphia had one man on base and two out. When play was resumed after the riot, Cards’ pitchai- Hillis Deal threw two wild pitches which Pinelji interpreted as a stalling attempt. He warned Deal and Stanky that he would forfeit the game if Deal threw another wild ball. Stanky then called in Tom Poholsky as a relief hurler, a move which Pinelli took to be an attempt to prevent the game from reaching the five inning mark-which would have made it an official game — before it would have to be called because of darkness. Pinelli promptly ordered the game forfeited, 9 to 0, which wiped from the record all of the play in the first four innings. After the forfeiture announcement. a cordon of police held back the Phlle while the Cardinal play-| ers were escorted to their clubhouse. Then the Phillies were given a police escort to their clubhouse. -Under National League rules, the lights cannot be turned on to finish a Sunday game that starts after 6 p. m. The second game was late in starting because of a one hour and 18 mhiute delay in the first game caused by a violent wind and rain storm. PollowinrnteTJWnnrThe temperature soared to 112 degrees. The catchers of both teams discarded their chest protectors because of the intense heat, the first time within the memory of veteran baseball observers that such an incident has occurred iir the major leagues.

Indiana All-Star Grid Game Aug. 21 INDIANAPOLIS -HNS)—One of the most underrated sports <in Hoosier high school circles—prep football —- make® a -combination 1953 goodbye and 1954 hello in the second annual All-Star game. • The event — decdgned to raise fund® for the Indiana American Legion’s nurses training scholarship fund—is sponsored again by the Bloomington Voiture pf the 40-a-nd-8, with John Wilson as chairman. Last year, threatening ekie» kept the Inaugural crowd down and the 5,000 who paid admission eat through a driving rain while the Southern Indiana high «chool all •tare were hit by as driving a Northern team. The kick-off game was not a success financially, largely because of a late start, the weather and lock of Legion-wide promotion, and vpectatQrwise it ended as most had predicted—in a victory for the North. Bloomington’s enterprising Voltv re seams to have put itself behind its own goal line promotionally this time with so late a start tn that its first announcement has juet been released. However, they did hire an old pro. Bob Stranahan, former Indianapolis Star Sports Editor, to handle the tub-thumping end that may make a difference. Gamewtee, there 1® some doubt that changes In areas of selection of All Star team members won’t reeult in an even more lop-sided game instead of the hoped-for equalization. Wilson announced that instead of a north-south division, the players would be selected on an eastwest basis. Wilson claimed this would “more evenly divide the strength of the senior all-stars.” This is a claim which doesn’t stand too much examination. Those who follow the prep pigskin parade across Hoosier gridirons maintain Lake county schools could field a team that could play some college squads to a standstill. The only high school teams in the, state given a chance to l>eat a Lake eleven, according tn these dopesters. would be a squad from the Pocket City. Since the ' division east-west places both Evansville and Lake county In the western half, this would appear to hold the balance o' power for the game. Also on the western side are Lafayette. Crawfordsville, Bloomington and Terre Haute. Eastern power wifi have to come from South Bend. Fort Wayne. Wabash. Kokomo. Marion, Muncie. Richmand. New Albany, Jefferson, vitle and EasferA sympathizers could build an argument here''. Tn any event, the game is Set for twi light (5 p. th. CDT) at Butler Bowl Aug. 21 thia year. Box seats win go for $3, reserved seats |2 and general admission sl. All things considered, particularly the charity, the money will be well spent by all spectators. Sportswriters and casters will ballot to seect 22 payers for each squad. Teams will report at Butler on Aug. 15 to all-star coaches to be selected The boyw will be housed and fed at Butler frats and conditioned on t-hfo practice fields for the big game., .. — Baker Is Winner Os Race Sunday Night 'Phil fiakrr won the feature race at the latke View speedway at Clem’s lake Sunday night, with Al Cook second and Fred Bischoff third.
