Baseball Czar Proud Os Clean Record Os Game NEW YORK (UPI) — Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick met the gambling question head-on today, without flinching, sidestepping or denying "it” could happen to baseball just as it has to other sports. The commissioner said he is proud of baseball’s clean record overall although he is “not gloating over it.” “Who knows?” he said. “We might have some kind of incident tomorrow. I rather doubt it, though, because I have great confidence in our players.” Despite his confidence, Frick feels it stiil -requires “a constant awareness” on the part of everyone connected with baseball, including his office, club owners, managers, players and even clubhouse boys, to maintain the integrity of the game. Calls Some Player* Speaking straight from the shoulder on an admittedly touchy subject, Frick revealed that he has called certain players before him to speak with them regarding “rumors” that were brought to his attention. “But,” he added, knocking wood on the top of his mahogany desk, “never once has there ever been an accusation of ny ballplayer throwing a game or betting against his own team during the 12 years I have been commissioner.” — Due to the recent National Football League scandal and the basketball investigations, there has been greater concern about gambling in all sports than ever before. Frick insists, however,;; he is “not running scared.” I “Don’t get see. wrong,” he sakk ‘“We certainly don't have out heads in the *»a»jd, but -the NFL case has not caused us to take any step we did not take before. “What it did do was to serve to alert us. Anytime a thing like this happens it brings you up on your toes.” Has Policing System Frick explained his office operates its own policing system, “Although that doesn’t mean we’re doing detective work into the players’ private lives. “Players are human beings and, like all human beings, they

My prime interest is not In regulating the lives of players, but in keeping them aware of the possible dangers they face. “Specifically, I’m speaking of players being in the company of questionable associates. To me, that’s far more important than any so-called gambling threat. “No matter how innocent a player. may be, he is immediately subject to public scrutiny if he associates with any type of undesirable element. “And once the public doubts a placer, it also doubts the game.”

Bick Farrell Beats Dodgers On Two Hits By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Giving ’em the slip is still Dick Farrell’s No. 1 skill — only now they’re talking about a pitch and not his ability to elude private eyes. A strapping, 29-year old fire.bailer from Boston, Farrell won fame with the Philadelphia Phillies as one of the “Dalton Boys" —three fun-loving pitchers who thought training rules were for Vassar girls. After 5% years the Phillies traded Farrell to the Los Angeles Dodgers, from whom the Houston Colts purchased him for $125,000 in the National League’s famous expansion draft on Oct. 10, 1961. At Houston, genera) manager Paul Richards educated Dick in a new form of the "slip” —a Richardsinvented curveball which has rounded out Farrell’s pitching equipment and made him one of the best right-handers in baseball. Farrell had only a 10-20 record with the Colts last season but Richards and manager Harry Craft said he pitched like “a 25game winner” and rated him among the best pitchers in baseball. • Gives A Sample Farrell gave his former Dodger teammates a sample of his new-found art of the “slip” Monday night when he pitched a nohitter for 7 1-3 innings and wound up with a two-hit, 2-1 triumph over Los Angeles. Farrell didn’t allow the Dodgers' first hit until Dick Tracewski singled in the eighth, and lost his shutout in the ninth when Junior Gilliam tripled and scored on Tommy Davis’ sacrifice fly. Rookie Rusty Staub’s first, big league homer, with Carl Warwick on base in the fourth inning, gave Farrell the edge he needed to raise his season record to 5-6 and deal last year’s 25-game winner Don Drysdale his sixth loss against the same number of vic-

Adams Central Farm Loop Opens June 11 Adams Central farm league play, for boys who did not make the regular Little League teams, will begin Tuesday, June 11, at 2 p m., coach Carl Honaker explained today. ■ The farm league will play each Tuesday afternoon, with the first practice scheduled for June 11. tones. The Chicago White Sox moved into a second-place tie with Baltimore in the American League when they beat the Los Angeles Angels. 4-0. and the Kansas City Athletics downed the Minnesota Twins, 4-1, in the only other major league games of the day. The White Sox, however, lost the services of first-baseman Joe Cunningham for an estimated eight weeks when he suffered a broken collar bone. Farrell, 6-4 and 225 pounds, worked exclusivelj as a relief pitcher for the Phillies and didn't pitch a complete game until his 268th game in the majors. The other members of the Phillies' famed “Daltoff Bays’’ were Jack Meyer and Jim Owens. Drysdale Fans Thirteen Drysdale, who had a 25-9 record last season, struck out 13Colts and walked only one. Farrell had five strikeouts and three walks. The “slip pitch” is similar to a change of pace although it has some “break” to it in addition to being a slow ball thrown with the sweeping motion of a fast ball. Eddie Fisher pitched a four-hit-ter for the White Sox behind a nine-hit attack that included two hits each by Pete Ward and Sherm Lollar. Bob Turley yielded all the White Sox runs in five innings and suffered his fifth loss against one win. Cunningham tripped over first base in the fifth inning and the injury was diagnosed by Dr. Robert Kerlan as a broken collar bone. Dave Wickersham’s four-hitter I enabled the Athletics to spoil Ca- | milo Pascaul’s bid for the 100th win of his career. A homer by Doc Edwards and a single by Ed Charles were the key hits of the Athletics’ seven-hit attack".

Finsterwald Wins In W r Golf Tourney INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UID— The same old caddy but a new grip on his ■ driver pulled Dow Finsterwald out of golfdom’s doldrums today with his first major victory in more than three years. The former PGA champion from Tequesta. Fla., banged home two birdies on the final three holes Monday far a three-under-par 68 to win the fourth annual $55,000 “500 Festival” golf tourney by two shots. That gave him a 72-hole score of 268, 16 under par, and SIO,OOO top money and boosted him from ninth to sixth place in earnings on this year’s circuit with $26,543. Finsterwald. who now heads for the Buick Open at Flint, Mich., grabbed his first victory since the New Orleans Open in 1960. He set the stage for the showdown with a red-hot seven-under-par 64 that tied him for the 54-hole lead with Julius Boros. Dissatisfied with his driver despite his fine round, he changed the grip for the final round and that and his caddy may have made the difference. “I thought my driving was much better,” said Finsterwald. “And my caddy * Tom Vinson, was a big help, too, especially in figuring the yardage from hole to hole.” Vinson also toted the gqlf bag for Finsterwald here Jast year, when Dow finished out of the top dozen. Boros, Bobby Nichols, Tony Lerna and Tommy Aaron finished deadlocked at 270, two strokes behind Finsterwald. • i Chicago White Sox Bring Up McCraw INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Tom McCraw, first baseman for the Indianapolis Indians, headed for Chicago to join the White Sox today to replace the injured Joe Cunnigham.
