Yanks’Relief Star Is Felled By Pitch DETROIT (UPD—Ryne Duren’s father picked the wrong day to watch his son pitch for the first time since he hit the major leagues. The near - sighted New York ' Yankee relief artist was felled by Paul Foytack, another fastballer. in Thursday’s New York - Detroit ’ Tiger game and rushed to a hospital where X-rays showed no fracture. The elder Dureri, hearing and reading of his 6 foot. 2 inch, 195pound son’s exploits with the American League leaders — he’s saved 16,victories, posted a 1.56 earned run average, struck out 63 and walked only 24 in 54 innings j — journeyed to Detroit from his Cazenovia, Wis., home. Duren had pitched two hitless innings while New York wiped out! a 5-0 deficit and went ahead 6-5.1 He had two strikes and no balls| on him with two out in the ninth when he was hit. New York j went on /to score four more runs and will? 10-7. - . ! “I knew it was going to be a ; bad pitch as soon as I let -go of| it," Foytack said. "I was .so dumbfounded I couldn’t yell at / him to get out of the way.” Duren, who is extremely nearsighted, was crowding the plate when he went down and a hollow! “Thack!” resounded through the stadium. Hie ball hit part of his "batting helmet. Dr. A. H. Whittaker said the Yankee flartie thro we r was a “little uncomfortable because of ■ the pain and headache and that j he would remain in the hospital under observation for several days.

Berra's Clout Key Blow In Yank Victory By FRED DOWN United Press International 'Yogi Berra may look a bit fun* ny playing right field but there’s nothing humorous to rival pitchers about the way he’s swinging his bat. And the .432 batting pace he struck since July 4 is a ringing 'answer to critics who were sayling a few weeks ago that 33-year-old Yogi was washed up. Berra " struck the key blow Thursday —a two-run eighthinning homer — as the Yankees rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat Jim (No Hit) Bunning and the Deloit Tigers. 10-7. The Yankees had scored four runs in the seventh to cut Detroit’s margin to 5-4 and Berra’s homer with Mickey Mantle on base put them ahead, 6-5. / I Berra, who had two hits in three tries, now has hit safely in ‘seven straight games and has lifted his average from a sickly .227 'on July 4 to .260. That average lis nine points higher than his imark. last season and, w-ith 16 I homers, he should also top his 1957 total of— Yanks Stretch Lead Mantle and Gil McDougald also homered for the Yankees, who t caught up to Bunning after the slender firebailer had held them to one hit for six innings. The Tigers staged a two-rtin rally in the ninth before 15-game winner Bob Turley, seventh Yankee pitcher, finally got them out. j The victory, the Yankees’ third ’ straight over Detroit, stretched j their American League lead to a massive 13% games The American League record of 19% is held by the 1936 Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles knocked I off the Chicago White Sox, 7-3. }and the Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Senators. 6-1. in : the other A.L. games. Boston at Kansas City was rained out. The Milwaukee Braves’ National League lead dwindled to six ■ percentage points when they dropped a 4-0 decision to the St. Louis Cardinals. The second-place San Francisco Giants were rained out of their twi-night ddubleheader in Philadelphia but the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-3. and the Cincinnati Redlegs downed the Chicago Cubs. 4-3. Milt Pappas, 20-year-oid rookie right-hander, pitched a five-hitter and contributed a fcoiper Mid a double to the Orioles’ - 12-hit attack. Bcb Nieman also homered 'for the Orioles who dealt Jim Wilson his eighth defeat compared with seven victories." Four-Hitter For Jones Reekie Gary Bell pitched a j three-hitter and Russ Nixon drove iih four runs with four hits as the : Indians handed Hal Griggs his eighth loss. Rocky-Colavito also homered for Cleveland while Ken Aspromonte homered for Washington’s run in the third inning., j Sam < ToothpiSri—ones - pitched a four-hitter and struck out five batters to win his* eighth game for the Cardinals Warren Spahn was kayoed in the first inning when I the Cardinals scored two runs on i singles by Stan MusiaL Ken Boyjer.

Rookie George Witt re-, ceived —credit—for ’ his third win while Stan Williams suffered his fifth .loss and second in as many days. Ed Bailey hit a two-run eighthinning homer that lifted the Redlegs to their victory over the Cubs. Bailey’s homer followed a single by pinch-hitter Jerry Lynch and gave the victory to Alex Kellner. who shutout the Cubs for the last 2 2-3 innings. Frank Robinson also homered for the Redlegs. . »—, Police Service MEREDITH. N.

Williams said Thursday night he was “very sorry” over the incident which occurred during a "fit of temper.” “Mr. Harridge was very nice about it,” Williams said. “I’m sorry I did it.” “I lost my head in a fit of temper, and I’m principally sorry I lost the $250." ' 7 - Fans jeered Williams with a flurry of boos /When he failed to run out a fourth - inning dribbler down the first base line. As the Red Sox slugger turned toward the Boston dugout, boos went up from the crowd. Willaims spat and the fans turned it on more loudly.

(UPD — Evansville Mayor Vance Hartke today blamed the Eisenhower administration for “foreign policy failures.” In a speech prepared tor delivery at a convention of World War 1 veterans here, Hartke said American policy in the Middle East, “has been a failure for a tong time.” . “The truth of this was rammed home this month,” Hartke said, “with a blow that rivals that of „actoal-w«fc-The-ArmyTcd - a n in-, ternal revolt in Iraq, supposedly one of our friends in that part of the world, with weapons furnished in part by our government. Our State Department frankly said it was caught flat-footed. Our Central Intelligence Agency hadn’t heard of it.” // • Hartke attacked using U. S. troops "in that/part of the world which has come to fear imperial- | isnr and colonialism?’ He said usingtroopers has “complicated” the situation. Speaking at a, Jasper County meeting in Rensselaer Thursday night, Hartke attacked administration farm policy. “A disastrous dip in farm prices preceded the recession which today has pinched business, industry arid labor." Hartke said. / He said the caused mainly by “the failure of our national administration and its leadership in the Agriculture Department"! where he said Secretary Ezra Taft | Benson had been "blind and arbitrary.” Hartke said Hoosier farmers would not “forget Mr. Benson” even in "foreign crises, highway scandals, missile failures and influence peddling among Republican leaders of Indianapolis and Washington." New Mexico has had more than 200 governors since it was colonized in 1598. Lir Leaguer Co” “No cracks to the umpire. He’s a midget, not a kid!”

Urges Senate To Junk House Sports Bill WASHINGTON (UPD — Lobbyists representing professional base- i ball and football have "descended on Washington like locusts” in a bid for blanket exemption of ; sports from federal anti - trust '■ laws, according to Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N. Y.). The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee appeared before a Senate subcommittee Thursday and urged that group to junk a House - passed bill that would give sweeping anti-trust exemptions to professional baseball, football, basketball and hockey. Celler said the biggest lobby he ever has seen had been mustered by the play-for-pay brigade. “They decended upon Washington like locusts,” he said. "jThey were in every nook and cramiy.” Celler accused big league baseball owners of trying th become “federal lords with the right ttreat their players like serfs” and maintaining “a public-be damned attitude. He noted that many of the basg ball players who testified at' the l committee hearing were high ’ priced stars and held "a sort bi canine loyalty to their owners.” Celler asked the Senate to approve his original bill, rejected by the House, which would make anti - trust exemptions for pro fessional sports pass the test of being “reasonably necessary.” He protested the current mcas ure would give a small numbe. of private club owners "unfetter cd control over the inters tat buainss of professional team sports exhibitions.” He sale House files on sports lesgislatio he ari n g are ‘replete witl instances where baseball club owners have abused theii powers.” Bert Bell, commissioner of the National Footbal League, denied professional football was against the best interests of the players and public. He said “we are convinced our practices are reasonable” and that enactment of th House bill would save the NFL the costs of proving this in court. Professional football has not been as adamant as baseball owners in seeking blanket . exemptions from anti - trust laws. However, it does desire some relief from a Supreme Court decision which subjets it to anti - trust statutes.
