Enos Slaughter Helps A's To Defeat Yanks NEW YORK (INS I — Enos Slaughter, who started in organised baseball before many of today’s major leaguers were born, is still hustling like • a rookie and making Yankee manager Casey Stengel wish he'd never heard of him.

joining the Yankees and finally Kansas City, was a jinx for Casey right from the start in 1954. That was the season old “country" provided on of the sports pictures of the year by weeping openly at the news of his trade for pitcher Mel Wright and outfielders Emit Tellinger and Bill Virdon. Enos got over it quickly, however, and settled down to the life of a Yankee. It was a lean one for Enos and Casey as Slaughter dropped from a .291 batting average for 153 games to a .111 for only ten games and the Yankees lost the pennant. To make matters worse, Virdon, plucked from the farm in Rochester, went on to become rookie of the year.

Caney dealt oft the “old man" to Kansas Cfty and Slaughter made the frost office look silly again by enjoying his best year since IMS with an average of .322 in 108 games. Thursday he same to Yankee stadium to club two doubles which helped sink his old teammates, 8 to 7. Said Casey: “There's no off • days for that 'guy. He knows how to play only one way— hard." Slaughter’s not the oldest player in the majors. The honor goes to the Cards’ 41-year-old Ellis Kinder. Nor is he the senior man in terms of Feller came up with Cleveland in 1938, two years before Enos became a Cardinal. But he’s certainly the friskiest old man in the majors. “I’ve got plenty of baseball left in me,” Slaughter warns. “I’m ready to play whenever I’m asked. My legs are as good as they’ve ever been. Plenty of walking did that. I was born in farm country aod began hunting when I was ten. Chasing those hound dogs is great for your legs." The Yankees managed to recapture first place by .018 percentage points when the Chicago White Sox lost at Washington, 7 to 4. Cleveland beat Baltimore, 7 to 1, and Boston topped Detroit, 5 to 2. Milwaukee backed into the Nationat League —driver's seat although a steady downpour at County stadium postponed its game with New York. Brooklyn set the stage by kayoing St Louis, 7 to 3, and Pittsburgh stopped Cincinnati. 5 to 1, in the only other scheduled games. • Slaughter routed Yankee starter Don Larsen with his first in the second inning and provided the winning market with his secGus Zernial’s bunt sent him to third and Harry Simpson’s sacrifice fly brought him home. Joe Ginsberg started the Athletics off with a two-run homerun in the five-run second inning. Then the Yankees went ahead on Hank Bauer's fourth homer, Yogi Berra’s fifth and Mickey Mantle’s seventh. Ed Burtschy then replaced Art Ceecarelli to stifle the Bombers. Billy Pierce, seeking his fourth straight win for Chicago, suffered his first loss instead when he fed rs three-run homerun pitch —a 475-footer — to Jim Lemon in the seventh inning al Washington. Winner Bob Sbakales pitched three-hit relief bal Ifor 7% innings. Mike Garcia won his first of the year for Cleveland, spacing six hits and striking out seven Orioles. The only run off him was unearned. The Tribe handed Bill Wight his fourth straight defeat- ors- 10 hits which included a single, double and homerun by Jim-Busby. Al Rosen also drove in three runs with a pair of singles. < Frank Sullivan notched his second victory in as many starts, hurling a six-hitter for Boston. Dick Gernert and rookie Prank Malzone hit homeruns for the Red Box and Earl Torgesoa connected for the Tigers. The Dodgers snapped a fourgame losing streak by ramming across four runs in the first inning off Ben Flowers and blasting three homers in the third —by Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges and Car! Furillo. Don Neweombe was credited with his third victory in four decisions although he required ninthinning help from Clem Labine. Rip Repulski homered for the Cards in the seventh off Newk. Ed Bailey's ninth inning homer — only the fifth Cincinnati hit — spoiled the shutout for Pittsburgh's Bob Friend, who now has a record of three and ohe. Frank Thomas and Dale Long hit two-run homdrs off Joe Nuxhall.

No Outstanding Favorite For Kentucky Derby LOUISVILLE, Ky. (INS) — Warm-hearted Louisville loosened its hospitable belt today for the 82nd running of the Kentucky Derby — certainly the richest and just as surely one of the most unpredictable In recent memory. Eighteen horses’ names were pushed into the entry box Thursday for the |125,00Q added classic Saturday at Churchill Downs. Only 16 may actually be led into the storting gate, but half that number would Insure the richest reward in this historic race. One entry. Reaping itight, injured his leg at almost the same time his trainer, Tennessee Wright, was paying $250 to have his name put in the hopper. Even without him, the field could gross 1168,900 and return $128,700 to the winner. With all its riches, it is the first time in a long while that the run for the roses has had no overwhelming favorite. D. and H. Stables' Needles may go off at about 2 to 1, but there is solid pud vociferous support for Career Boy, Pintor Lea, Countermand, Count Chic, Fabius and Terrang. One of the 18 entered, Murlogg Farm’s Come On Red, is likely th start only if it comes up mud — something the weatherman hasn't madp up his mind abo*ut yet, although some 100.009 punters congregated in Louisville wish he would. There’s a possibility of considerable rain between now and post time Saturday. If it should stay dry, however, the Churchill Downs track is the type that would dry out lightning fast. Two stables have formidable entries capable of double - teaming Needlee into the proverbial haystack. Calumet Farm, a five time derby winner (trainer Ben Jones personally has saddled sis winners), has a double entry of Fabius and Pintor Lea. Fabius, son of 1948 triple crown winner and all-time record money earner Citation, won the Derby Trial last Tuesday. Pintor Lea is considered even better — providing he has recovered from a swollen knee that almost caused him to be .scratched. Little League Tryouts i Saturday And Sunday ► Additional tryouts-by candidates for the Decatur Little League t teams will be held at Warthman field Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. Nine and 10-year-old boys will report at the field at 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon and at 1:30 p. m. Sunday. The 11 and 12-year-olds will report at 3 p. m. Saturday and at 3:30 p. m. Sunday. All league officials, managing personnel, managers and coaches will meet in the mayor’s court room at the city ball at 7:30 o’clock Monday night to make the draw of players for the six Little League teams for the season.
