Cardinals Ask For Waivers On Raschi ST. LOUIS (INS) — The major league baaeball trail blazed by veteran pitcher Vic Raschi was winding to a close today. The St. Louiy Cardinals management announced Tuesday that they have asked waivers for the unconditional release of the one-time New York Yankee pitching great from West Springfield. Mass. Redbird Manager Eddie Stanky said he must give younger pitchers a chance and that the success of his team will “depend on youth." Raschi, who was 36 last March, cost the Cardinals between $75,000 and 180,000. He was purchased by St. Louis in February, 1951, after refusing to come to terms with the Yankees where he had spent seven seasons. As a Yankee, he won 120 games and lost 50. In six World Series he won five and lost three games. Described oy Yankee Manager Casey Stengel as one of baseball's "greatest stop” pitchers, Raschi had a disappointing 1954 season with St. Louis, winning 8 and losing 9. Raschi made his first start of the 1955 season last Monday night

Japanese Runner Marathon Winner BOSTON (INS)—Japans triplethreat marathon team, happy over Its success in the 59th Boston Athletic Association race, today looked ahead with high hopes for the Olympics next year at Melbourne, Australia. Japan carted off the lion's share of prizes. Hideo Hamamura, the 26-year-old government clerk and farmer's son, won the dia-mond-wtudded gold medal when he finished first in the record time of 2 hours 18 minutes, 22 seconds. Yoshitaka Uchikawa was seventh and Tadaaki Tanbe, eighth, in the 26 mile 385 yard grind run in rain, drizzle and cold weather. They also won medals. They will remain in the United States until May 1, and then fly btek to Tokyo. Hamamura, through an interpreter, expressed their ambitions, when he said: "I’ll go back to my work and keep training and hope that I can win a spot on Japan's Olympic team next year. That is my big ambition right now. To run in the Olympics and win." The same thought probably was in the minds of other foreign stars as they headed for their homes in Finland, Sweden and Argentina. But the results Tuesday failed to give much help to experts who hoped the BAA race would give them a long-range line on what might happen in Melbourne. Reinaldo Gorno of Argentina put his finger on the impossibility of predicting marathon outcomes. Gorno, the pre-race favorite who finished fifth in the excellent time of 2:20.25, noted that he had beaten Hamamura by nine minutes last December in Japan. Eino Pulkkinen of Finland, who finished second in 2:19.23, had strong backing to win. Inexperience was said to have been his handicap. The United States had a pleasant surprise in Nick Costes, the Natick school teacher, whose third place time of 2:19.57 was the fastest ever turned in over the Boston course by an American. 11 you nav- ome'blng to sell or rooms tor rent, try a Democrat Want A4. brings results.
