Giants Draft Mickey Grasso From Minors NEW YORK INS) — The fortunes of baseball sometimes move in mysterious ways. Take the case of Newton (Mickey) Grasso, who seemed to be headed for minor league oblivion but finds himself, instead, a member of the world champion New York Giants. Just what the Giants intend to do with Grasso is somewhat open to conjecture. But they drafted the 32-year-old catcher Monday and presumably were exercising something more than an idle whim. Catching is the Giants’ weak spdt and Grasso is recognised as a smart handler of pitchers. He may be able to make the team, or at least help out in the bullpen, particularly since Joe Garagiola has retired to become a broadcaster. At least the Giants thought his chances worth SIO,OOO — the draft price. But the funny part of the story is that Grasso now is coming back to the club which owned his contract in the first place. He broke in as a Giant farmhand in 1941 and even appeared in seven games with the New Yorkers in 1946. Five years ago, the Washington Senators drafted Mickey from Seattle. Just before the 1954 season. he apparently got his big break when he was traded to Cleveland, but all that Grasso really broke was his leg — just above the ankle. The injury kept him sidelined virtually all season. Just before the World Series, the Indians went to special trouble to get him certified as eligible for the classic, although he hadn’t returned to the active roster until past the series deadline. ''After manager Al Lopez removed Jim Hegan for a pinchhitter in the memorable first series game, he chose Grasso rather than the less experienced Hal Narggon to catch the tenth inning. As if Mickey hadn't had his quota of bad luck for the year, there w-as more just ahead. With Willie Mays attempting to steal second. Grasso cranked up his rusty right arm and uncorked a bad throw that allowed the Say Hey Kid to get into the bag safely. Had Willie been nailed, there would have been twcrwut and nobody on base. Bob Lemon would have pitched to Hank Thompson instead of having to walk him intentionally. He might have retired Hank and Dusty Rhodes might never have come to bat to deliver his heroic pinch homerun. That is speculation, of course, but in any case Grasso saw no more action in the World Series. A few weeks later, he was sent packing to the Tribe's Indianapolis club—-or rather his contract was. The Giants executed a pickoff play that- not only will keep Mickey in the majors but actually kicks him upstairs to the world championship club. Yessir, baseball is a strange business.

SEAMAN Kyle Y. Ridaught, a descendant of a Florida Indian chief, may be in line for $300,920 from the United States Government. His claim is based on land grant signed by Gen. Andrew Jaekson which was recently discovered in the family Bible. It gives the Ridaught Band of Florida Indians 1.751.000 acres of land in Florida. A petition filed with the Indian Claims Commission is asking the Government to pay the survivors of the Ridaught Band $1 26 for each acre, with interest at 5% for each year since 19J4. Ridaught is stationed at the Great Lakes (Ill.) Naval Base. (International)
