Tiger, Bosox Trade
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
They're still trying to figure out today which team got
the better of yesterday’s gigantic nine-player swap be
tween the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox that involved
several top flight stare. . .. - -
Initial returns presented no clue
to the answer as the fans buzzed
with excitement over what may
be the biggest single trade in the
history of baseball.
Only hours after the trade, for
mer Tigers Hoot Evers and John
ny Lipon appeared in Boston uni
forms against the Cleveland In
dians.
About the same time, ex-Red
Sox Walter Dropo and Don Len
hardt took their places in the De
troit Uneup against the Philadel
phia Athletics.
None of the four distinguished
himself in any way as the Indians
shut out the revamped Red Sox,
6-0 while the Athletics humbled
the made-over Tigers, 3-1.
Evers and Lipon each singled as
the Red Sox collected only seven
hits off the airtight pitching of
Mike Garcia, Dropo got one of
Petrolt's eight safeties off lefty |
Alex Kellner and Lenhardt got
the horsecollar in fou¥ fimes at
bat.
Trout On Hand
George Kell, key man from Bos
ton’s viewpoint, in the four-for
five transaction, failed to arrive
in time to take over the third base
duties with the Red Sox. Veteran
pitcher Dizzy Trout, fourth Tiger
in the deal, was on hand but was
not used.
In addition to Dropo and Len
hardt, the Bengals acquired short
stop Johnny Pesky, third base
man Fred Hatfield and pitcher
Bill Wight. None of the trio saw
action last night.
Luke Easter spearheaded Cleve
land’s triumph with his eighth
homer and a single to drive in
half his team’s runs. The victory
boosted the Indians back into the
American League lead by one
game over the Red Sox.
Brooklyn retained its one-game
margin over the New York Giants
in the National League race, de
feating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-
4, on home runs by Jackie Robin
son, Carl Furillo and ‘Gil Hodges.
The Giants earlier had shellacked
the third place Chicago Cubs, 17-
4, with the aid of 17 hits including
a home run, three doubles and
three triples. |
Satch Paces Browns |
Brilliant relief pitching by age
less Satchell Paige brought a 3-2
victory for the St. Louis Browns
over the Washington Senators.
Paige yielded only four hits in
five and two thirds innings of re
lief and singled in the winning
run in the 17th.
Another pitcher turned hitter
when righthander Johnny Sain, in
a pinch hitting role, smashed a
long single with two out and the
bases loaded to drive in the rum
that gave the New York Yankees
a 4-3 victory over the Chicage

Initial Start
GRAHAM, N. C. (AP) — Ron
Necciai tried to contrel an em
barrassed grin and allowed, “the
batters in this league are going to
make it awful tough on me.”
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ 19-year
old strikeout sensation had just
finished fanning 14 batters in his
first starting assignment here last
night for Burlington-Graham of
the Class B Carolina League. Bur
lington Graham beat Winston-
Salem, 5-1, on Necciai’s six-hit
performance.
A 6-5 righthander, Necciai won
national fame earlier this season
when he struck out 27 in a no
hitter for the Bristol Twins of the
Class D Appalachian League. After
that, the Pirates looked him over
during a brief stay at Pittsburgh
and then jumped him to Class B.
Counting his work with Bristol
earlier in the season, Necciai now
has 130 strikeout to his credit in
57 innings. He has given up 19
hits and five runs.

Y Teams Fall
To Greenwood
I °
In Three Tilts
The Athens YWCA baseball
teams dropped three games to the
Greenwood, South Carolina Y
squads yesterday. The three frays
in different age groups were part
of the newly initiated baseball
program for the Athens Y.
The Greenwood nine downed
the 11-13 year-olds Athens team
by the score of 8-5. The
leading batters for the tilt were
James Basham, with three hits in
four trips, and Sam Callaway. who
had a perfect day, getting three
bingles in as many appearances at
the platter.
Athens outhit the nome team,
119, but Greenwood placed their
base blows well, so as to score
the all-important runs.
In a close game in the 8-10 age
bracket, the Greenwood lads won,
3-2. The Athens laddies were led
by Barry White and King. White
hit safely 1n two out of three trips,
while King homered for one of
Athens tallies. The unusual item
about the game was the fact that
Athens banged out four hits to
only one for Greenwood. Nine
walks by Athens hurling proved
to be the big factor, William Mor
ris hurled for the Athenians.
In the other game played,
Greenwood won a very wild game,
15-14. Harold Yarbrough led Ath
ens with four singles in his five
appearances at the plate.
Other action for the locals in
clude a single game with Jeffer
son here Friday, Jefferson won the
game played in Jefferson, 10-6,

Regain Former Title
" BY MURRAY ROSE
ATLANTIC CITY, N.'J., June 4, — (AP) — One of 11,
biggest mysteries in this fight training camp center. -
side of how finely Ezzard Charles’ mustache will be 1,
med, is why the ex-champ from Cincinnati is such a | g
favorite to dethrone Jersey Joe Walcott in Philadelp} ~
tomorrow night.
Not-so-lean Ezzard was rated a
2 to 1 to 3 to 1 choce, depending
on where the bettors were doing
their shopping, to become the first
former heavyweight king in his
tory to regain the prized crown.
Although a majority of the visit
ing fight writers are plunking for
the 30-year-old challenger they
openly admit they are doing it with
fingers crossed. No one apparently
has any firm conviction that Ez
zard is going to win because of
the heavier power in 38-year-old
Jersey Joe’s fists. Most of the crit
ics figure this should be a pick ‘em
fight.
They know that the ancient
gladiator from Camden is apt to
put Charles away with one punch,
and they know that Joe can do it
with either hand. But they are
going for Charles because they feel
Joe is liable to come apart just
like Joe Liuos did against Charles
and Rocky Marciano. After all,
