No, he isn’t. Because the fractured wrist suffered by Harry (Suitcase) Simpson took a lot of joy out of the 20 to 1 walloping the Yankees handed the Philadelphia Phillies Monday at Greensville, S.C. It was the highest score run up by any team this year and included six homers. Simpson’s right wrist was fractured in |he fourth inning when he was sttuck by a pitch thrown by Phils southpaw Curt Simmons. The wrist was placed in a cast and he will be out of action about four weeks- He was due in New York today for further examination. Bill Skowron slammed two of the homers with Mickey Mantle. Elston Howard. Don Larsen, and Bobby Del Greco accounting for the others. Mantle added three doubles and a single in a five-for-five day. Southpaw Johnny Antonelli, striving to come back from a poor season, doled out four hits in his i seven minings as the Giants beat i the Cleveland Indians for the third Tonite, Wed., Thurs.

Major College Teams Scored I Fewer Points NEW YORK (UP)-A large reduction in the number of free ' throws in major college basket- ’ ball during the 1957-58 season proj duced the sharpest scoring decline in the 66-year history of the game. NCAA statisticians released the season’s final figures today and ‘ announced the point production ( was five per cent less than that ( recorded during 1956-57. In 4.149 major college games, the 1957-58 season produced an average total ’ of 1369 pointe per contest <rf»m- --' pared to the 1956-57 average of 144.0. The number of foul shots per game dwindled for the fifth straight year. There was almost no change in the average number of personal fouls. Thus the decline in free throws was the result of the new rule which limited the number of free throw opportunities during past, season. The scoring drop was empha--1 sized by the few two-points-a-min-ute teams in major college ranks in 1957-58. Only eight, headed by Marshall’s 88-point average, were able to average at least 80 points a game. This is the lowest total since 1952 and is in sharp contrast to 1956-57 when 24 teams scored at that rate. For the second time in NCAA history, two teams from the same state finished 1-2 in scoring as West Virginia followed Marshall with an 86.9 average. The final team defense standings also emphasized the trend in scoring. The 50.5 average compiled by San Francisco and Oklahoma State’s 517 are the best defensive marks in six seasons. Kentucky was the only school which finished in the top 40 in both offense and defense and ranked among the leaders in five of the six major statistical departments. Cincinnati led in margin over the opposition, averaging 20.6 points a game more than its opponents.— ' ■ Oklahoma State led in free throw percentage, sinking 488 of 617 for .791 per cent. Fordham sank 693 o f 1,440 field goal tries for a .481 mark and edged Cincinnati, which finished with a .480 percentage. Manhattan led the major schools in rebounding, recovering. .591 per cent of those available in its games.

Al Lopez Says Detroit Tigers Will Be Tough - TAMPA, Fla. (UP)—AI Lopez, who is high on the chances of his Chicago White Sox, picks the Detroit Tigers as the team which could dethrone the New York Yankees if his own club doesn't “If Harvey Kuenn can play center field and if Billy Martin can play shortstop, the Tigers promise to give us as much trouble as the Yankees,” the White Sox manager declared. “I like their pitching and their hitting *' Lopez added that from what he has seen and heard thus far both Kuenn and Martin "will come through for them.” "Os course,” he said, “you have to set your sights on the Yankees first, for poor old Casey Stengel has more good ball players than he can use. But you’ve got to beat the other dubs, as well as the Yankees, and I figure that the Tigers are going to give the whole league plenty of trouble.” Lopez plans to save his ace pitchers for both the Yankees and Tigers. He admitted that he felt some managers hurt themselves by saving their best pitchers for the Yankees. “You blow too n&any games to the second division clubs that way,” he added. “You aren’t always in a position to save your best pitchers for the best clubs, but you can be sure the Yankees and Tigers will get their fill of Donovan, Pierce and Wynn. Getting back to the Tigers, Lopez feels they have in Al Kaline a player who is going to become one of the greatest of the era. “There just is no limit to what Kaline can do," Lopez declared. “He's the sort of a player any manager would like to have to build a ball club around." Montreal Favorite To Win Stanley Cup MONTREAL (UP)— The Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League are banking heavily on their awesome power play in a bid for their third straight Stanley Cup tonight when they meet the Boston Bruins. The game is the opener of a best-of-seven final playoff series. The Canadiens were overwhelm ing 5-1 favorites to win the 10th Stanley Cup in the club s history and 14-5 favorites to take’ the opener against the Bruins. “Those odds are crazy,” Montreal coach Toe Blake said. “Maybe if it were a while back I might go along with them but the way that team (Boston) finished, I think we’re in for a bloody tough series.” “We’ll be lucky to win a game,” said Boston General Manager Lynn Patrie, subbing for the ah sent Boston coach, Milt Schmidt who was with the rest of hi? team, 52 miles north of Montreal at Ste. Marguerite. Blake planned to go with defenseman Doug Harvey at the left point and Bernie , (Boom Boom) Geoffrion at the other point. Up front Blake was expected to use his three most potent weapotis league scoring champion Dickie Moore, still playing with his broken left wrist in a cast, big Jear. Beliveau at center, and the ageless 36-year-old Maurice (Rocket) Richard at the other wing. Schmidt figured to counter this with either Doug Mohns or Larry Hillman and Allen Stanley at tire anchor points, and Don McKenney, Fleming Mackell and Jerry Toppazzini.

He was graduated from Cornell University in 1904 and studied at the University of Bologna, Italy. Nathan became a cub reporter mi The New York Herald in 1905 and almost at once began filling in as the newspaper's third-string drama critic. A year later he was offered jobs as dramatic critic and associate editor of two magazines. Bohemian and Outing, and »ot down to his life’s business. In 1925 he was considered the best known and highest paid drama critic in the world.

Russia Leading In Propaganda Drive Legion Commander Makes Prediction INDIANAPOLIS (l|P) — American Legion National Commander John S. Gleason Jr. said today that after this country carries out its planned nuclear tests in the Pacific this year, Russia will announce that in self-defense “she must resume her own tests.” Gleason, in an address prepared for delivery at an Indianapolis Rotary Club luncheon, made the prediction in the light of Russia's “latest and most devastating propaganda victory . .. that a future nuclear shot would not be fired.” "America will carry out our planned nuclear tests in the Pacific this spring and summer.” Gleason said. “And Russia will carry on her propaganda, multiplying its effectiveness with each nuclear device we explode. ' ‘‘Knowing this, we still have no choice but to conduct these tests And when we conclude, Russia, in outraged indignation, will announce to the world that in her own self-defense and against her demonstrated desire for peace she must resume her own tests.” Gleason said there can be “no adequate, effective reply to a propaganda explosion more powerful and far-reaching than the mightiest nuclear device yet developed.” He said Russia is always one notch ahead in the propaganda offensive. “We must take the offensive," he said. “Not in an aggressive, military sense but in a strategic, tactical sense. We can delay no longer. In fact, we have plready waited far tob long.” “’Die American Legion is tired of seeing our great nation knocked from propaganda pillar to political post by the communist gaint,” Gleason said.
