Suggest Means To Cut Time Os Ball Games NOW YORK ftNS) —One of the gripes frequently expressed to comtniMioner Ford Frick's ••what’s wrong with baseball V’ survey last summer bad to do with the marathon length of most big league games. The American League made a vague pass at trying to do something about the situation by making it mandatory to remove a pitcher from the game the second time a manager or coach goes out to the mound to talk to him. This was supposed to cut down en the gabfests that are one of the several thousand things that can delay a game, but there is no conviction that the new rule will do any good. In fact, it may work tn reverse because managers and coaches probably will do their talking to the catcher, who will then bare to relay the instructions to the picher. Hank Greenberg of he Cleveland Indians probably came up with a more effective game - shortner when be promised to put SIOO into a kitty for his athletes everytime the Tribe plays-and wins-a game in . less than two hours. Some other suggestions have been advanced by Bin Veeck, the ex-Cleveland and St. Louis Browns owner, who usually has ar opinion I on any baseball subject you care to mention. Neal Eskridge of the Baltimore News Post reports a fourpoint Veeck program tor streamlining ball games. - "First,” said Veeck, out in Scottsdale, Arik. *Td bare a more clearly defined strike sone. The strike sone has shrunk so much that pitchers deliberate a long time before each pitch. That accounts for most of the wasted time in ball games. "Second, I’d limit the pitcher to three practice picthes st the beginning of each inning instead of the eight he gets now. There isn’t any reason he can't be ready with three warmup pitches. . “Third, I’d elimiate the custom of infielders throwing the J>all 1

1956 SUPER STARTENA gets chicks off even faster That’s right .'. . new Super Startena gives baby chicks several advantages over last year’s Purina Startena. It has super growth, super vigor, super economy and it’s super safe. Ail this adds up to the faet that 1956 Purina' Super Startena is going to grow thicks stronger and faster than ever before. Better order right away. It’s available with new coccidiostat, if desired, for only l/5c per chick extra cost “FAST-START” TWINS MOST POPULAR PIG STARTERS IN NATION Just a year after famous Purina Pig Startena found her twin ... Baby Pig Chow . . . they have teamed up to become the nation’s most -.popular pig starting team. Thousands of hog men have found the “Fast-Start” Twins gave them early gains at low. low cost ... costs they hadn’t dreamed possible. Baby Pig Chow Is nutritionally good and tastes even better.

around after a putout when the bases are empty. The practice throws they make while the pitcher is getting ready are enough to keep their arms from getting cold. “And last. I’d cut the number of umpires for each game from four to three, or even have only two umpires. There weren’t nearly as many arguments because players and managers appreciated the tact that the base umpire bad a tough Job and couldn't be everywhere at once. "Nowadays, there's on umpire standing right on top of every play and an argument follows every time he calls a close one.’’ There probably is a lot of room tor discussion concerning the effectiveness of Veeck’s suggestions, not to mention their desirability. For example, would the time saved by eliminating the infield throwing be enough to justify the abolish- . meat of an ancient custom which many fans may feel Is part of the ’ color and tradition of the sport? ! But at least the man is thinking about the problem, and there is ■ something to be said for that. t Lorry Baker Wins Over Pat Lowry r , NEW YORK (INS)—Larry Bak- . er of New York scored an eighth- , round technical knockout over To- , ledo welterweight Pat Lowry Monday night in a national!])televised fight at the St. Nicholas Arena.

Ridzik Starring In Giant Exhibitions By International News Service A new pitcher has emerged from the citrus clrcait-Steve Ridzik. The 26-year-old ex-Redleg and Phillies hurler, now palming them for the New York Gia®ts, wallowed in a big league record of 0 and 4 in 1955. But he's a ehanged man today. Monday, for example, Steve relieved Johnny 'Antonelli to pitch two more hitless shutout innings and run bis spring exhibition record to 18 Innings with only two earned runs against him. Steve fanned thfee in the process as the Giants belted Baltimore, 14 to 1, at Scottsdale. Aria Ridzik did it with a palm ball, whioh he developed with the championship Santurce club of the Puerto Rico league during the winter." He picked it up from Jim Konstanty in Philadelphia and finally has mastered it so that be uses it frequently for a change. Steve also credits the "new look” to more work —"a chance to pitch steadily.” Antonelli also enjoyed his turg on the mound, scattering five hits and five talks while the Giants rapped Ray Moore and his mates for 13 hits —Ray Katt and Foster Castleman knocking in four runs apiece and the New Yorkers drawing nine passes. In nearby Mesa, meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs assaulted Ray Narleski for six runs in the third inning and a 9-10-i victory over Cleveland'. ’ Richie Meyer and Bill Fanning homered for the Cubs while Al Rosen and Raines accounted for all five Cleveland runs with homers in the eighth inning. Humbled on two successive days by the New York Yankees, the champion Brooklyn Dodgers turned on their spring tormentors at Vero Beach for an IS-hit, 15-to-7 victory. •

Maury McTJermott, who had permitted just two runs in 14 previous innings, was bombarded for 11 runs in the second inning as 13 Dodgers reached base on hits and three others on walks. The big blow was Jackie Robinson’s threerun homer. Dale Long drove in five runs for Pittsburgh with a double, triple and homerun as the Pirates whipped Milwaukee, 16 to 9, at Fort Myers. Willie Jones hit a solo homer in the second inniug and Del Ennis belted a grand-slam in the fifth to give Philadelphia a 6-to-2 win over Detroit at Lakeland. Jirgoks Lawrence., traded by St. Louis (o Cincinnati in January, went the distance at St. Petersburg as he Redlegs snapped a sixgame Cardinal winning streak, 3 to 1. Lawrence scattered 10 hits and three walks. s ~ Larry Doby, obtained from Cleveland in an off-season deal, tripled singled as the Chicago White Sox downed Boston, 9 to 2, at Sarasota. $1,025.08 Collected In Heart Fund Drive Mrs. R.
