Raschi Blames Self on Missing No-Hit Game

By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, July 14—For a man who celebrated his fifth an-| niversary as a Yankee by pitch; ing a one-hit victory, his 100th! in the majors, slick Vie Raschi| was surprisingly unhappy today.! He tried with all the bear-down |

it a no-hitter and was four put-| outs away when Joe Ginsberg, a; 185 hitter, devastated the dream! with an eighth-inning homer. That Raschi went on to win, 11] to 1, and the Yankees went on to make it a double rout, 12 to 2, in the second game, didn’t help his feelings a bit.

IF JUDGE STREIT gives Al and Ralph the green light to the satisfaction of the NBA so far as the players’ legal responsibilities to the law are concerned, it would appear Al and Ralph stand a good chance of getting reinstated. That seems fair enough. Judge Streit obviously weighed at least one vital fact heavily: That Ralph and Al played an honest hand in pro ball for two years before the scandals erupted and without the compulsion of a probationary

public censure. He must have considered their character asserted itself while they were exposed to the gambling element in pro ball for two years after their collegiate shenanigans. The next move belongs to the NBA.
