OQ A Of all accusations against Jefferson Davis, after the war, his family resented most bitterly an implication the Confederate president was a coward disguised as a woman when trapped by Union soldiers near Irwinsville, Ga., May 10, 1865. Alice Hamilton Cromie’s fascinating new "Tour Guide to the Civil War" (pub. by Quadrangle Books) describes an attraction at Irwinsville: "Jefferson Davis Memorial Park, 1% miles north of town. A bronze bust of Davis marks the spot where he was captured in 1865. Davis heard the firing just before daylight and snatched up his wife’s cloak by mistake. As she left the tent, Mrs. Davis threw her shawl over his head.” Troopers of the 4th Michigan and 1st Wisconsin Cavalry who made the capture reported gleefully Davis also had a hoop-skirt, Mrs. Davis declared this a lie. Davis had sent away his wife before he and chief associates in the government fled Richmond the night of April 2-3. They, the

Mrs. Davis was enabled to rejoin her hu» band before the flight train was divided tn impede capture. The Davises headed for Texas. The other officials sought to rsaeh Florida and escape to Cuba. They had tha gold (the final disposition of which becams a mystery). Davis was Imprisoned at Fortress Monroa, Va., for two years without trial, then released on bail raised by Northern friends. Eventually the Federal government was persuaded to free him in the interest of restoring North-South amity. — CLARK KINNAIRD

By George C. Langford UPI Sports Writer The once maligned Minnesota pitching staff is rapidly gaining respectability and the Twins finger new pitching coach Johnny Sam is the man most responsible for the im-

provement.

Sain is the highest priced coach ($25,0001 that Twins’ President Calvin Griffith has ever hired and already he has worked magic with a pitching corps that ranked a shaky fifth

-last season.

I His prize pupils include the rMinnesota aces, Jim Kaat and Camilo Pascual, who were j holdouts this spring and had to be whipped into shape rapidly, -and veteran Dick Stigman and ^rookie reliever Jerry Fosnow. - "A lot of these players had .developed some bad pitching *habits last year,” Sain explain■:ed, "and just weren’t thinking .on infield plays.” * Kaat won his third game! -Monday night and pitched the Twins into first place in the American League with a 4-3 victory over Chicago. The triumph was preserved by another of Sains "finds,” Mel

Nelson.

Nelson, a 29-year-old journeyman who has kicked around the minors for eight years and had brief trials with St. Louis and the Los Angeles Angels, relieved in the ninth inning and set down three White Sox in a row with a run already in and the tying and leading runs on base. Nelson was obtained from Denver just before the season started upon Sain s recommen-

dation.

"There is a spark among our pitchers that had been missing,” Griffith said recently. "Sain has had a lot to do with

it.”

Pascual and Jim Grant each have three complete game victories and Kaat has gone the route twice. Combined, the three hurlers have won 10 and lost two. Jerry Zimmerman led the Minnesota offense with three i hits, Rich Rollins doubled home one run and plated another | with an infield out and Harmon ; Killebrew singled home the other tally. Dave Nicholson homered for the Sox and Joe Horlen (2-3) absorbed the loss. Boston sent New York down to its fifth loss in six games with a 3-2 triumph and Detroit edged Baltimore 5-4 in the only other American League game scheduled. Los Angeles whipped Houston 3-2 in 10 innings and Philadelphia beat St. Louis 4-2 in 10 innings in the only National League games played. Cincinnati was rained out at Pittsburgh and the other teams were idle. Carl Yestrzemski hit two home runs and drove in all three ef Boston ■ tallies and

I rookie Jim Lonborg won his first major league game allowing only four hits. The loss dropped the Yankees back into

ninth place.

Mickey Mantle, returning to the New York lineup after being sidelined for 10 games with various injuries, collected three of the hits and drove in both Yankee runs wtih a homer and a single following Bobby Richar lion's double. Mantle doubled ofi the centerfield wall in the ninth, just missing a game-ty-ing homer by a few feet. Bill Stafford allowed only six hits in suffering his first defeat. A1 Kaline cocked a three-run homer and the Tigers broke a 4-4 tie in the sixth with an unearned run to down the Orioles and hand Robin Roberts his first defeat after four complete game victories. Mickey Lolich. with relief from Terry Fox in the ninth, picked up the vic-

tory.
