Brooklyn Wins Over Yankees in 111nnings By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Johnny Podres and Don Larsen settled today for a “draw” in the first of the “Mr. Wonderful vs. Mr. Perfect” meetings which the . Brooklyn Dodgers an<»New York Yankees expect to extend into the 1957 World Series. The pitching heroes of the last two World Series met for the first time Monday and the result was a splendid H'-inning contest won by the Dodgers, 1-0. Neither hero was around at the finish, of course, but each put on a whale of a show for the record Vero Beach, Fla., crowd of 4,084. Six Hitless Innings Podres, picking up right where he left off on Oct. 4, 1955, pitched six hitless innings in which he faced the minimum 18 batters. ITien he stepped aside in favor of Don Drysdale, who kept the nohitter going until Tommy Byrne singled with two out in the ninth. Tony Kubek singled in the 10th for the Yankees’ other hit. Larsen was “bombed” by Cincinnafi in his spring debut last Wednesday, but Monday he yield&L four hits in five innings and now has pitched 14 straight shutout ipnings against the Dodgers. Podres, meanwhile, has a string of 17 shutout innings against the Yankees. Byrne added five more scoreless innings to Larsen’s five, but the Dodgers pushed over the winning run against Al Cicotte in the 11th. Don Demeter opened the inning with a double and he scored when Gil McDougald threw wild past

Modify Free Throw Rule For Colleges KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP) A modified free throw rule used this season by the Big Ten conference was the major rule change adopted by the National Basketball Committee in its two-day meeting here. Announcement of the new rules concluded the committee's session Monday, The new six-foul rule means the one-and-one free throw rule is not in effect for the first six fouls by each team in each half. Only after the first six fouls, does a player get a “bonus” shot if he scores on his first attempt. In another effort to speed up the game, officials were ordered to warn the “reeponsible” team during stalls to make “a reasonable effort to get action” or be subject to a technical foul. The “responsible” team, the rule states, is the team behind in the score. If the score is tied, the team on defense is the “responsible” one. Another revision calls for the ball being thrown into play from under either goal, tert if the ball goes behind the backboard on the throw-in it will be regarded as out of bounds. It was written to prevent players from throwing in over the backboard to tall players tor “dunk” shots. The committee also made a new rule that players on offense cannot touch the ball on the rim of the basket or directly above it unless the player carried the ball there. It is designed to tip-ins by taller players. On double fouls, the committee ruled, neither team will get a free throw and a jump ball will be held instead. Use of a yellow ball for televised games was authorized by the committee along with numerous changes and editorial revisions in the rules book.

Says Pirates May Finish In First Division I : FORT MYERS. Fla., (UP)-The Pittsburgh Pirates finally are : starting to roll, but Manager Bobi by Bragan believes it will be at least another year before they > will become pennant contenders. However, Bragan who finally led the Pirates out of the cellar . last year to finish seventh in his . freshman year as manager, feels . the club has a good chance to finish in the first division. “I don’t see any teams beating . out Brooklyn, Milwaukee or Cincinnati,” he said. “But I think we ’ can beat out St. Louis for fourth ' place.” Although it laeks power, Bragan classifies his outfield of Bill Vir- : don in center, Lee Walls in left ' and Roberto Clemente in right as ! one of the best in the league. ' However, he pointed out. that the three of them hit only a total 28 ! j home runs. U Stewart Questionable II Virdon batted .334 after the Pi- * rates got him from the Cardinals t and wound up with an average of - .319, second only to Hank Aaron’s • .328. Clemente batted .311 while - Walls, after a fast start tailed off and wound up with an average of ' .274. There is a chance that gangling [ Dick Stuart, up from Lincoln . where he hit 66 homers and drove [ in 158 runs, may break into the k outfield if he continues hitting the long ball the way he has thus far. , He lacks polish in the field, however, and will have to hit, long, and often, to make up for it. I Behind his outfield, Bragan lists pitching as the next Pirate strong point. In Bob Friend, Ronnie Kline and Vera Law he figures he has three of the best starters in the league with Elroy Face among the best in the relief department. But Bragan is quick to agree that his staff may “lack depth.” Lacks Infield Speed The infield will have big Dale Long at first, Bill Mazeroski at second, Dick Groat at short and Frank Thomas at third. The Pirate skipper complained that his infield, outside of Mazeroski, lacks speed. As last spring, Bragan is high on the future prospects of catcher Danny Kravitz, who can hit the long ball. The rookie didn’t hit or catch well at the start of last season, however, and he was shipped to Hollywood for further season--!°k« year, he could become the No. 1 catcher with Jack Shepard retired. Battling him for the job are Hank Foiles, formerly with Cleveland, and Dick Rand, the exCardinal. Ladder Fall Fatal To Indianapolis Woman INDIANAPOLIS <W — Mrs. Marie C.

I Today's Sport Parade (Beg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)-PuU up a chair, peel yourself a grape because we’re fresh out of oranges, and take it from Fearless Fraley that it’s gonna be the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series this year. From here the pennant races shape up this way: American League 1. The New York Yankees: If they lose this one, there should be a congressional investigation. The only questions are how many homers Mickey Mantle will hit (55) and how many games Art Ditmar will win (21). 2. Detroit Tigers: In the race 'til the head of the stretch. Then watch Whitey Ford and Co. go by. 3. Cleveland Indians: Still loaded with pitchers to throw it up . there. Still nobody to get it when It goes out there. , 4. Chicago White Sox: Go, go 1 too slow, slow. 5. Boston Red Sox: Proving . once again that money will buy t anything but complete poverty and a pennant. 6. Baltimore Orioles: Any higher would be a real Oriole borealis. 7. Kansas City Athletics: Still in Missouri. > 8. Washington Senators: The » old, old story: First in war, first - in peace—and last in the Amerij can League. > National League t 1. Cincinnati Reds: More must cles than a weight lifters’ convention but that may be the stumblt Ing block. The pitching figures to » improve but the blasters have to - blast on schedule. r 2. Brooklyn Dodgers: The »' beards grow longer and longer • and sooner. If not later, the - thumbs won’t plug the dyke any more.

3. Milwaukee Braves: If they ever get mad, look out. But there is still no fire in the ashes. 4. St. Louis Cardinals: The gang is out of gas with nobody to fill the tank. 5. Philadelphia Phillies: Gee whiz, kids? 6. Pittsburgh Pirates: Gee, kids! 7. New York Giants: San Francisco wouldn’t want ’em. 8. Chicago Cubs: Lucky to finish eighth. And, Oh yes, the Yankees will win the Series, four games to two. Anyone for football? Hawks And Celtics To Meet For Title Minneapolis, Minn. (UP) — It will be the St. Louis Hawks against the Boston Celtics in the J final round of the National Basketball Association playoffs, opening in Boston on Saturday. The Hawks completed a 3-0 sweep of the Western Division finals Monday night when they beat the Minneapolis Lakers, 143 - 135, in a stormy, two- overtime tussle that ended in a protest by the Lakers. The Celtics previously completed a similar sweep in the east. The Hawks, who won the first two games of the best-of-five western finals on their home court, were tied with the Lakers, 114-114, ■ at the end of regulation time and ■ 131-131 at the end of the first over- - time.

Pettit was the Hawks’ high scorer with 35 points, but individual game honors went to rookie Bob Leonard of the Lakers with 42. League officials at the game disallowed the Lakers’ protest. Referee Norm Drucker had blown his whistle when the Lakers threw the ball in from out of bounds, but he was overruled by referee Arnold Heft. Heft ordered the clock turned back three seconds. When the Lakers threw the ball in again, Jack Mcmahon of the Hawks tied up Chuck Mencel of the Lakers. The Hawks got the ball and fed Pettit for the tying basket.
