Braves Held To Split By Cards In Twin Bill By TIM MORIARTY (United Press Sports Writer) Those April showers, which produced no May flowers but plenty nf postponed games in Milwaukee this spring, were catching up with the pennant-minded Braves today and eventually could pose a serious problem tor Fred Haney’s pitching corps. Haney claims he isn’t worried because he's "got the horses" now, but it looks as If he’s going to need every pitcher in his stable to handle those make-up games. Bob Trowbridge, one of the Braves’ second-line pitchers, got the call Wednesday night and surprised with a neat six-hit, 10-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader. But the Braves blew a wonderful chance to pick up Important ground when they lost the second game, 3-2. in 10 innings. The Pittsburgh Pirates, meanwhile. topped the Brooklyn Dodgers, 8-5, while the Cincinnati Redlegs downed the Chicago Cuba, 8-2. The Dodgers now trail the Braves by two games and hold only a half-game lead over the Redlegs. Trowbridge struck out eight men and was aided by four home runs in pitching his first complete game in the majors. But the Cardinals came on to take the nightcap behind the combined hitting and pitching of Herm Wehmeier. The ex-Phillies hurler allowed only four hits in outdueltng Lew Burdett? and alfeo knocked in the winning run with an infield single. Red Munger picked up his first victory over the Dodgers since 1950, although he needed relief help in the ninth inning. The Pirates greeted Brooklyn starter Roger Craig with a five-run burst in the opening, highlighted by Frank Thomas' three-run homer. Ted Kluszewski hit a three-run, first- inning homer against the Cubs and that was enough to insure Johnny Klippstein's 10th victory. Gene Baker of the Cubs was struck on the left temple by one of Klippstein's pMtiKk*. butUfcapef with lacerations. The Phillies picked up their sixth straight victory by downing the Giants, 8-3. Ted Kazanski hit a grand-slam homer and Robin Roberts registered his 14th victory for the onrushing Phillies. In the American League, the Yankees spoiled a Clark Griffith memorial night at Washington by thumping the Senators, 12-2; the Red Sox ripped the Orioles, 7-2, er; the Tigers edged the Athletics, as Ted Williams hit his 13th hom-8-7, and Sherm Lollar’s 14th inning homer earned the White Sox a 7~6 verdict over the Cleveland Indians. A. large delegation of baseball and government officials, including vice president Richard Nixon and Commissioner Ford Frick, turned out for the Griffith memorial services at Washington. They then watched the Yankees pummel five Washington pitchers for 14 hits, including homers by Mickey Mantle, Elston Hwward and Bill Skowrori. Williams' homer against the Orioles broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth In-

■f FAMOUS ANNOUNCER FINDS ■ljgw “BEST BUI” IN AUTO INSURANCE RED URBIB, distinguished sportscaster on radio and TV, says: "f proved to myself that State Farm Insurance costs lese”! "I like the way State Farm Mutual alma to insure careful drivers only. Thia keeps insurance costs low. "My own case proves State Farm rates are low. In New York, where Hive. . . for the insurance I carry on my two cars...

They don’t make *- it part of the premium ... you don’t have to pay it year after year. Instead, it’s covered by a membership fee, paid once and only once-the first time you take out a coverage.

nlng and the Red Sox then added four mom runs in the eighth to sew up Mel Parnell’s sixth victory. After circling the bases, Williams clapped his hands over his mouth as if to suppress the desire to engage in another spitting episode. Lollar had a big night against the Indians, singling home the tying run in the ninth inning before unloading his game-winning blast. The Tigers scored their winning run against the A’s on a throwing error by pitcher Troy Herriage. Quarterbacks Key To All Stars’ Success QUARTERBACKS TO CHICAGO (UP) — Michigan State's Earl Morrall or lowa’s Jerry Reichow could turn out to be the star of the 1956 College AllStar game with the Cleveland Browns if the collegians should come up with their second straight victory. Morrall or Reichow probably will be the starting quarterback for the collegians Friday night, and a collegiate victory probably will hinge on whether the signal caller can be,as adept at passing and running the team as was Notre Dame's Ralph Guglielmi a year ago. Guglielmi became a "take charge? player for the All Stars, connecting on 10 of 19 passes to give • Ohio State’s Tad Weed a chance to kick three field goals and three points after touchdown in a 30-27 collegiate triumph. Head Coach Curley Lambeau has not indicated what his starting lineup will be. But it was believed probable Morrall, who directed Michigan State to 10 wins in 11 games last year, including a Rose Bowl victory, would get the nomination at quarterback. Morrall has been working out in a backfield with halfbacks Hopalong Cassady. Ohio State, and Bob Burris, Oklahoma, and fullback Don Schaefer. Notre Dame. This 4uartlet seems to have received 7major attention from the collegiate staff. Reichow, on the other hand, has been drilling with Don Mcllhenney, Southern Methodist, and I-en-ny Moore. Penn State, at halfbacks, and Joe Childress. Auburn, at fullback, and this foursome could start. • Cord i not s' Cdfcher 111 With Appendicitis MILWAUKEE. Wis.

Smith wa# taken to the hospital Wednesday When he complained of stomach pains. He was to be flown to St. Louis for further observation.

But Boston fans were more than ready to forgive him. A "Ted Williams fine committee' was launched to pay the rec-ord-tying assessment and the originator, Massachusetts labor relations commissioner Charles N. Collatos, chipped in $25 to get the ball rolling. A state legislator filed a bill to fine fans uking "profane, obscene or Impure” language against a sports participant a maximum of SSO. Some 30,000 fans jammed Fenway Park Wednesday night to see if Ted would carry out his threat to “spit again at the fans who booed me” as the Red Sox met the Baltimore Orioles. In the sixth with the score tied, 2-2, Williams blasted a towering home run into the right field grandstand. Every eye in the park watched the lumbering figure as Ted rounded the bases and headed for the dugout. Williams smiled broadly just as he was going down the dugout steps. He clamped his hands over fais mouth as if to suppress the desire to expectorate once again. It was evident from the apt plause that the fans still loved their “Teddy boy.”
