Rookie Hurler Ends Yankees' Losing Streak By MILTON RICHMAN (United Preee Sport* Writer) Casey Stengel, a wily old codger who generally frowns on gambling. came up with a long shot-— ■exactly a* his Yankee players predicted he would — to halt both a six-game losing streak and talk that the Bronx Bomhers might be starting to buckle. "Leave it to old Case,” said the Yankees, even while they were in the thooes of their longest losing streak of the season. “He’ll' think of something and when he. dbes, we’ll be okay again.” Stengel did think of something, rookie pitcher Ralph Terry, fresh up from Denver of the American Association, and when all the dust cleared, the youngster picked up his first major league victory with a 4-3 decision over the red-hot Red Sox Monday night and the Yankees increased their lead to eight games in the American League race. True, Terry needed help from relievers Tom Morgan and Tommy Byrne, but the important thing from the Yankees’ view point was that they were back on the right track again and old Case had called the turn on his long shot gamble. Terry, a 20-year-old right-hander brought up from the minors only / last Friday, blanked Boston for the first four innings as the Yanks got to Tom Brewer for three runs in the fourth. Jerry Coleman’s two-run single highlighted the frame? ‘ " The Red Sox got to Terry for a run In the fifth inning and after Jim Piersail hit a two-run homer in the sixth, Morgan relieved Terry. Byrne entered tn the seventh and pitched hitless ball thereafter to nail down the victory. • . In the only other American League game scheduled, right-hander

Cleveland’s starter, gave up single runs in the first and second innings and the Tigers made it a rout with seven runs in the eighth.

Mrs. Babe Zaharias Undergoes Surgery GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 7 (UP) —Mrs. Babe D\drt<;k4on Zaharias. the world’s greaMfet woman athlete, was reported in ’•satisfactory" condition today after a fourth operation th her fight against cancer. A spokesman at John Sealy Hospital said the three-hour operation Monday night was to relieve an “obstruction in the intestine.” But it had nothing to do with surgery July 14 in which a sensory lerve in the neck was severed to relieve pain in the lower extremities, the spokesman said. The 42-year old athlete went into the operating room at 8:30 p.m. (EST). Before going into surgery, the courageous Babe made a remark to her husband. George Zaharias, that is completely typical of her. “We’re not leading the league yet. Guess we'll have to play it off," she said. Mrs.’ Zaharias, a great Olympics star before she became the most famous of women golfers, entered John Sealy hospital this latest time on March 29. She was operated on for rectal cancer on April 17, 1953. And on June 22, 1955, she underwent an operation for a ruptured disc which doctors said had nothing to do with cancer. There were no signs of post-op-erative complications and none is expected, the hospital spokesman said. Babe has lost almost 50 pounds from her normal weight of 140.

Y„ may rush his opponents in the ring; but he said today, “I’m not rushin’ after a title bout." The brawny slugger admitted frankly, ’T’m at least a year away j from a title shot," despite Mont day night’s 23rd straight victory on a split decision over Charley . (King) Cotton of Toledo, Ohio, in j their bruising TV 10-rounder at St. . Nicholas Arena. Today's Sport Parade | B< WARREN GILES (President, National League) (Written For The United Pre**) CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP) — One of the most important facets of our game, and seemingly least appreciated, is the umpiring. Players are the heroes of the diamond, and "rightfully so, They • are the attraction, central figures ’ in the game, having the affection of their fans who come to tie parks to watch them hit, run, throw, field and slide. In my book umpires are heroes too, but not in the same sense as the player*, because the fans do not come to watch them perform and they do not have the affection of the fan*. Funk and Wagnall’s dictionary defines a hero as, “a man distinguished for valor, fortitude and bold courage”. Umpires qualify as heroes under that definition.’ In his healthy, natural partisan feeling the fan views an umpire’s decision as he wants the decision to be, not always as it ~ia._ The news cameraman’s picture and television camera have added to the umpire’s hazards. Pictures dp not tell the correct story on decisions because much depends upon the at which . the picture, was taken and;-whether it was flashed a fraction of a second after a tag was made or a fraction of a second before. A majority of fan letters reaching our office which are critical of the umpires’ decisions are from those watching the game on television. The fan at the park gets real enjoyment by blowing off steam at the time of the play; those watching on TV are limited “to getting” it off their chest by writing the league president. One cannot get the real enjoyment of a ball game on TV and I am sure cannot umpire in his living room. The biggest criticism of umpires coming to my attention, is not their calling of plays but. the claim they are too hasty in ejecting players from the game. Umpires in some instances are too hasty in ejecting players, hut most times they are 100 per cent justified and if all the facts were known there would be less criticsim. Umpires are human, sometimes sensitive men, and being human, make mistakes, but they are courageous and impartial, trained for their job and 99 per cent of the time are in a much better position and a better impartial frame of mind to render an accurate decision than anyone on the field, or in the stands, or looking at a picture. i Michigan Primary Election On Today DETROIT (UP) — Sixteen of Michigan’s 18 representatives in congress sought renomination today in the state’s primary which featured only one statewide race. The only race to be decided on a statewide basis was the scrap between Detroit Mayor Albert Cobo and former state police commissioner Donald S. Leonard for the Republican governorship nomination. The winner will go st Gov. O- Menfeu Williams in i the November election. -A p

(UP)— The death toll of an explosion wWeh leveled three buildings at the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp, plant here mounted to three today. A 22-year-old employe, Francis Kramarik of North Tonawanda, died of severe body and facial ■ burns at St. Mary's hospital dur- ' ing the night Plant Supt. John J. 1 Holland earlier identified the other victims as Herman C. Strablow, ' 2J), a plant foreman from Berg--1 holtz, and John Maule Jr., 34, Niagara falls.

Amusement Tax Cut Is Signed By Ike Cancels Taxes On 90-Cent Tickets WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower has signed a bill cancelling the 10 per cent federal excise tax on tickets to movies, plays, concerts, sports events and similar amusements costing 90 cents or less. Previously the exemption was 50 cents. Increasing it to 90 cents will cost the treasury an estimated 360 million a year in revenues. The bill — signed Monday — was sponsored by Rep. Cecil R. King (D-Calif) and backed by theater . Owners whose business has heen _ hit in recent years by the advent of television. King said it would “save 5,000 movie houses from going out of business.” The President also signed bills that: —Permit the atomic energy commission and colleges and universities to buy atomic reactors for training scientists. Also make it a federal offense to trespass on atomic energy installations or smuggle weapons or other dangerous items into such areas. —Liquidate about 3800,000 worth of enemy assets seized in World War I and still held by the alien' property office.

District Revenue Director Is Fired Ernest J. Sauber Ftrqd, As Director CHICAGO (UP) — Ernest J. Sauber has been fired as district director of internal revenue. Sauber, suspended last March, has been under investigation by a federal grand jury. His dismissal was announced Monday by Deiferd Alsen, district commissioner of the internal revenue service. Sauber was replaced today by H. Allan Long, special assistant in the appellate division of the revenue service In New York. The grand jury investigation of Sauber's conduct began last April when representatives of the tax division of the U. S. attorney general’s office appeared before the jury. The case involves testimony SSauber gave at a hearing in the government‘s income tax evasion case against the Shotwell Manufacturing Co. In 1953. The company, now defunct, was convicted, but the U. S. court of appeals upset the conviction on the basis of Sauber’s testimony. Sauber testified that the firm in 1947 made a voluntary disclosure of its dealings, thereby invalidating prosecution. Sauber’s attorney, Robert M. Scott, told newsmen in Washington that he would appeal Sauber’s dismissal to the secretary of the treasury. Sauber, 48. was a veteran of 20 years with the internal revenue service. He was appointed district director, in charge of the 26 northern Illinois counties, in May, -1952.
