Battle Os Bean Ball Near Danger Point NEW YORK (UP) - Baseball’ll “battle of the bean ball” Is rapidly approaching the same critical danger pbint today that brought about fche national pastime’s greatest tragedy 36 years ago. m The age-old cry pf “brush him back*’—an angry entreaty tor the pitcher to knock the batter down J echoes from virtually every dugout in both major leagues. One of thia season’s victims, Don Zimmer of the Dodgers, already is through for the year, perhaps done with baseball. Another victim. Hank Thompson of the Oi- ' ants, goes around with a nagging, ' constant buzzing in his head. Pitchers consider the "brush back pitch,” which is only a polite name tor a bean ball, part of their ‘bread and butter." They only mean' to intimidate the hatters, ' not kill them. Occasionally, how- 1 ever.’ something goes wrong. One of those times was a mild August day in 1920, the kind of day it felt gopd to e alive. Carl Mays, a submarine ball 1 pitcher for the Yankees, got one in too close to Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman. The ball hit Chapman on the side of the head and ' he sprawled grotesquely in the ’ dust near home plate. . Muddy Rueb who was cafching for the Yankees that day. retnem- 4 hers the episode vividly. ' The ball hit Chapman so hard that it rolled out toward the in- , field and most everybody thought ( he had bunted it." Rilel says. “It ; was a sickening sight, seeing poor" , Ray laying there in the dirt.” Less than 72 hours later Chap- ( man was dead. ‘ This season, the battle of the "

bean ball has flared up with renewed violenca. Last Tuesday nltht, big Joa Adcock of the Brave#, incenaed at being hit by a fast ball, chased Giant pitcher Ruben Gomez from the mound into the dugout in a wild scene that almost precipitated a full-scale riot. And only last Sunday, Don Newcombe of Brooklyn and Warren Hacker of the Cubs engaged .in a bean bail vendetta that whs climaxed when Dodger Manager Walt Alston removed Newcombe tq keep him from being Suspended. Earlier this year. Bill Bruton of Milwaukee charged* out to the mound with a bat In his hands to get ut tßus Meyer of the Cubs, whom he charged threw at him.And a few weeks, ago, Bob Grim of the Yankees and Dave Philley of the White Sox started a fist fight over an alleged dusting attempt. Wearing helmets has become mandatory in the National league this season and most’ players wear them in-the American league but the war between pitchers and batters goes on unabated. "1 ain’t looking to hurt anybody,” says one American League veteran pitcher, "but at the same time I’m. not (going to let anyone take my bread and butter away.” I r To which a hitter answers. "They got their jobs and we got ours. Nobody's ever going to settle this thing.” Someone had better before there’s another Mays - Chapman disaster. In Michigan, a person, is never more than six miles from a lake or stream. Michigan has 11,037 inland lakes and 36.350 miles of streams. North Dakdta has 101 certified Jree farms with a total of- 38,312 acres.

Hungary Strongman Resigns Position VIENNA (UP-)—lron Curtain experts expressed doubt today that the downfall of Hungary's "Little Stalin,” Matyas Rakosi, would improve the lot of the common man in the Soviet satellite despite promises of a "new look” policy by his successor. Rakosi’s resignation as first secretary of the Hungarian Communist party and from the all-power-ful politburo was announced Wednesday,' He was replaced in the "strongman” post of party secretary by Moscow • trained Ernoe Geroe, firnt deputy premier and the country’s economic czar. Geroe. in his "maiden” speech as secretary, criticised Rakosi and the party heirarchy for failing to provide proper leadership. He indicated that party discipline would be tightened. Geroe apologized to Yugoslavia for past mistakes and said both the Hungarian party and the government would establish direct contacts with the Yugoslav party and government. Some observers believed Rakosi’s ouster was a price Marshall Tito demanded for resuming friendly relations with the Kremlin. Rakosl was one of the leaders of the “get Tito” clique under the nowdiscredited Stalin dictatorship. Rakosi said he was 65-year-old and had been suffering from a serious illness for two years. After reading his letter of resignation beofre the politburo. he said he had been suffering from hypertension end that his physicians had forbidden him to continue in political work.
