By The Associated Press
aanager Luke Appling of the
Memphis Chicks is looking for
gome more Texas League ballplay
ers—-and with good reason.
His two recent acquisitions from
the Lone Star loop led the Chicks
to their second straight triumph
over the Nashville Vols last (Wed
ne-day) night, 5-4. Former Texan
Jo. Frazier homered in the eighth
to tie the score and Frank Biscan
silenced the Vol bats with some
s nev relief pitching to gain his
{llst Southern Association decision.
Tho vietory elevated Memphis to
cixth place and the loss dropped
Nashville into fourth, two points
pohind the Birmingham Barons. *
Ilsewhere in the circuit, Little
R ck nummeled Chattanooga 11-2;
Birmingham trimmed Mobile, 4-3,
and Atlanta topped New Orleans
8-1.
Seven New Orleans errors hand
ed the Atlanta Crackers five runs
and the Crax earned three them
selves as they won their second in
@ row from the Pels,
little Rock outfielder Hal Simp
«on belted his third homer of the
series and his sixth of the year. He
- ve in three runs.
(;ilhert Mills pitched a pretty
good ball game for Mobile against
the Birmingham Barons, but he
made two mistakes. -Each was a
nomer by Baron outfielder George
Wilson, costing Mills three runs
&~ the game.
uring their exciting, last-in
ning triumph over Nashville, the
Memphis Chicks lost one of their
most loyal fans. Guy J. Howell, 57,
who hadn’t missed a home game
in vears, died of a heart attack in
the final tense moments. -

Jimmy Dykes has lit a fire under big Gus Zernial. The
slumbering Giant is on a record-tying home run rampage.
With six homers in three consecutive games, old “Ozark
Ike” goes into the little red book in such exclusive company
as Tony Lazzeri and Ralph Kiner. And he hasn’t stopped
vet.
R three-way swap involving the | —m—
A’'s, White Sox and Indians
brought bench-riding Gus to Phil
adelphia April 30,
At Chicago, Zernial was hitting
.105 and not playing. He had two
hits opening day and none since.
No home runs. Now with the A’s
he’s hitting at a .366 clip to bring
his season mark around .283.
The home run spurt started
Sunday when the A’s dumped the
Yankees twice. Gus connected
twice in the second game. He hit
two more Tuesday night against
St. Louis. Then another pair came
last night off the Brownies.
No. 5 came off Cliff Fannin in
the second inning and No. 6 off
Duyane Pillette in the fifth. Still
the A’s lost the ball game, 10-9,
and tumbled into the American
League cellar.
Ferris Fain continued his bat
ting surge with three hits, boost
ing his average to .402 and Lou
Klein, former Cleveland infielder,
hit his first homer for the A’s.
The Brownies had bombers too.
Don Lenhardt hit two home runs
and a single, driving in four runs.
Vic Raschi set a new season
high with 10 strikeonts in. the New
York Yankees 11-3 romp over
‘Cleveland.
The surprising Chicago. White
Sox knocked off the Boston Red
Sox at Fenway Park for the sec
ond day in a row, 9-5. Joe Dobson
went all the way against his old
mates. Walt Dropo hit homers in
the second and third to drive in
four Boston runs.
Detroit kept step with Chicago,
tied for second place, two and a
half games out, by whipping
Washington 7-1. Dizzy Trout al
lowed only four hits. '
In the National League, only
three games separate the last
place Phillies from the league
leading Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Chicago Cubs battered
Brooklyn pitchers for 13 hits in a
14-4 slaughter. Second place Bos
ton was knocked off by Cincinna
ti 4-3, with the Reds scoring
three off Johnny Sain in the
eighth. It was Sain’s fifth loss.
Jim Hearn found his old Pitts
burgh cousins in their usual form
and chipped out a 2-1 decision for
the New York Giants.
Al Brazle came to the rescue of
Gerry Staley in the ninth to pre
serve a 5-3 St. Louis win over
Philadelphia.

Page, the fabulous “Fireman
Joe” of the 1947 and 1949 New
York Yankee champions, at least
has a job and a salary in the $25,-
000 backet. He goes to Kansas
City to work out the kinks in his
arm.
Jack Kramer, another big name
pitcher of the past in the Ameri
can League was given his uncon
ditional release by the New York
Giants.
But most of the players to go
were rookies. Fellows like Steve
Bilko, the St. Louis Cards bulging
first baseman. Back for another
year on the farm—Columbus of
the American Association this
time.
Even with the cutting of Bilko
and third baseman Eddie Kazak
'who went to Houston, the Cards
were one over the limit. They
‘were given a special 12-hour dis
‘pensation due to technicalities in- ‘
volving an already completed deal
~with another big league club.
The Yankees also wound up
with 26 but it was legal. They
‘have infielder Billy Martin just
back from the army, reinstated
from the National Defense list.
All 16 ciubs walved on Page
who hasn’t pitched an inning all
year.
The Yanks also shipped Max
Peterson, 27-year-old righthand
pitcher drafted from Toronto last
winter. He returns to Toronto
without throwing a ball for the
Yanks all season.
Detroit lost pitcher Ray Her=-
bert to the Army and sent infield
er Hal Daughtery to Toledo. That
left the Tigers one under so pitch
er Marlin Stuart was recalled
from Toledo where he was sent
Sunday. Earlier in the day the
Tigers traded pitcher Saul Rogo
vin to Chicago for pitcher Bob
Cain.
Dick Littlefield, one of the
pitchers obtained from Boston in
the big winter trade, was shipped
by Chicago to Memphis to make
room for third baseman Bob Dil
linger, bought from Pittsburgh.
Washington acquired Hank
Wyse from Philadeplhia. The A’s
sold utility infielder Tod Davis
to Los Angeles and returned pitch
er Frank Robinson to Buffalo.
Pittsburgh followed up its sale
of Dillinger by optioning outfield
er Tom Saffell and second base
man Monty Basgall to Indianapo
lis, their American Association
farm.
The Phillies farmed out pitcher
Charles (Buzz) Bowers to Terre
Haute in the three eye league,
pitcher Jack Brittin to Baltimore,
and outfielder Eddie Sanicki to
Schenectady, N. Y., cf the Eastern
League. 5
Brooklyn got down to the limit
by optioning pitcher Earl Mosser
to St. Paul.
