Tuesday afternoon we broke loose from the mines in time to •ee the last half of a game here comers for a no-hitter against the Crystal Lake nine. It was a ,:§*> shut-OMt. As in all no-hit ' games, there were times when it looked like the string would break. grounds Tuesday afternoon by a 5-0 score. As in all no-hit games, the tenseness and anxiety built up in the late innings turned to joyous back-slapping when the umpire yelled "yer out" to the final batter. < Loren had to pitch his way out of one tight spot when he could not find the corners, but his battery mate's good right arm nailed a runner to help the spoiled the effort. And we may (cause. The totals show that Lorhave missed earlier fielding plays en walked 7 and struck out 11 tt was along about the sixth Hften Jim Jackson raced in back of second base to pick up a hot bouncer and fire to first in time for the out. That one could have Ckfct looked big. * Twas a cold day, but Loren's arm was looser as the game moved along and his "stu.f" got better. Any time you hurl a no-hitter in any league you have to be sharp. Not only Loren, but also his mates were a happy, rollicking group when that final out was made. Marty Knox was there to see the game, but two other regulars -- Howard Wattles and Tony FreUnd -- were absent. Ckrl Buckner, a true sports flan, strolled iriv to see the last put-out aad -liesr g&lM no-hit news. >*i «r: • It's hard for most of us to get away for afternoon sports events. Wish we could find an Arch Ward in high school to •end in complete records on high •cbool sports events.

Teyler Spiak Read The Want Ads PITCHING *Carl Hubbell From the book "How to Play" published by 81)C '$portmg News Chapter 8 A WARM-UP PITCHER H 0 1 0 1 1 0 2 0 0 5 H 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 3 to a practice catcher. We make him throw harder and harder. Of course, he does not come close to a strike. Then we tell him that is the only thing he is doing differently when he goes from the warmup to the mound. If he is a good prospect who doesnt panic in a game, that's all the lesson he needs. This is the key to correct the worst fault of young pitchers: Unless you have your balance, .and feel loose and in control of your body on the mound, you cannot throw many strikes; an offbalance pitcher defeats all the instruction and all the practice he has had. Never beat yourself, and always make the other club beat you. That is quite a broad statement. What I refer to are the two ways in which a pitcher can hurt his chance to win, and these are the base on balls and poor fielding of his position. The walk Is worse than anything else. It is the "bug-aboo of pitching. When you are in a close game you must be particularly careful not to walk the first man up in an inning. That starts more big innings than anything else. Be sure to make the hitter hit, and then you have a muchbetter- than-even chance to get him out. Fielding goes back to baseball instinct. Before the pitch, you have to size up the game situation: Runners on base, the score, the speed of the hitter, the inning. Then you anticipate what you will do if the ball is hit to you. The fielding of the pitcher's position is very important. It requires a lot of work to master, and you should never miss an opportunity to field bunts and make throws on the instant to the bases. Lots of boys come to Melbourne with strange ideas about training. Well, training is important but it is simple, too, and certainly nothing to worsy you. In starting your training for the season, whether you are going out for the high school team or a big league team, you must be careful to avoid being overanxious. Don't try to impress the manager right off the bat. That is the critical time--the first week or ten days--when a fellow can hurt his arm. •At related to Joe Klitf. Memory will be of increasing benefit to you the further you progress in baseball, because the higher minors and in the big leagues you face the same hitters for more than one season, and frequently for a long period of years. Your job against them may depend on memory. If you don't remember readily, you must train your memory.Use a book if necessary at the start, to jot down the danger pitches, so that you may recall them, and impress them on your mind. In this connection, it is true that big league pitchers must .remember to throw to specific spots against certain Utters. But in starting out you should not worry about the spots. That is something you will not need for several years. There will be an in-between period before you can consider pitching to spots. This in-between time comes after you are able to put your three pitches over the plate. Then you may begin working to keep the curve low, and the fast ball on the inside or outside of the plate. Pitching to spots will follow, as a natural development. To illustrate to you the biggest fault of all in a young pitcher, let's go to Melbourne once again, for a practice game. I am impressed, and so-are my scouts and instructors by one pitcher as he warms up. He has a smooth, stylish delivery, with the essential follow- through. His pitches have sharp action and are always on, or quite close to, the plate. He is a dandy--warming up The same pitcher takes the mound in the game, and he has no resemblance to the promising young chap who pleased us so much in the warmup. His pitches are flying here and there. He walks man after man. He looks as if never* had an hour's train ing in his life. But the boy doesn't puzzle us. We know what is wrong He has gotten all keyed up n e r v o u s l y , h a s f o r g o t t e n about style, .and is trying to throw the ball harder than he can throw it. In doing so, he has twisted himself off balance, and has lost all smooth ness, r y t h m and followthrough. It's a cinch he is not going to throw strikes. We take that boy aside and ask him to throw his hardest This is the eighth in a teriet oj article* to help give proper instruction to boys in How to Play Baseball. Future columns will include lnfielding, Catching, Outfielding and Base Running. Chapters prior to this are available from this newspaper, or you can order "HOW TO PLAY," consisting of 112 pages, from THE SPORTING NEWS, 2018 Washington Ave., St. Louis 3, Mo., for fifty cents a copy. i Deal For Slaughter To Yankee*' Fears The most fantastic and surprising of all the Yankee acqui sitions from the National League was the addition of 38-year-old Enos Slaughter to tihe menage of the world's champions, says The Sporting News. On February 23, Vic Raschi, 35-year-old righthander of the Bombers, disdaining to take a cut from his $40,- 000 salary of 1953, was sold to the Cardinals for a reported $80,- 000. The intimation was that Vic was too old. On April 11, Slaughter, three years older than Raschi, and getting $20,000, was considered acceptable by * the New York club from the standpoint of 'both age and salary. The Sporting News feels that It is obvious that something happened between February 23 and -April 11 to change the attitude of those operating the Yankees. What happened was: No. 1. Nineteen defeats iit>27 exhibition games with major league opposition, six in eight engagements with the Dodgers. No. 2. Doubt had enveloped Mickey Mantle's mending right knee. In announcing the deal the Yankees said the move was in the interest of "protection and insurance." Around the American League, reports the national baseball weekly, the addition of Enos to the New York family^js regarded as a demonstration of fear. "The Yankees are afraid, afraid for the first time since 1949, and perhaps the day of our freedom from New York bondage is nigh," the seven other clubs in the circuit exuberated. The addition of Slaughter leaves Casey Stengel with three extra outfielders. It is quite conceivable that one of them, and First Baseman Eddie Robinson will toe offered for a pitcher. The Sporting News reports that when Enos learned that he had been sent to tihe Yankees, l|e shed bitter tears. Sold down Oft river after so many years. But then, Enos, what a river! "I'll Never Be Traded" One of the ironic twists to the deal that sent Enos Slaughter to the Yankees is the scheduled appearance of a magazine article by the ex-Cardinal outfielder + i'Within the next few weeks, says The Sporting News. The title: "Why I WW ltfever Be Traded." Alston Faces Toughest Job Four new managers led teams into the major league races this season, one pulling a heavy load, three in less difficult spots. The man in the most important spot, reports The Sporting News, is Walter Alston of Brooklyn. V I .CRYSTAL I o«ivt"f. All that is expected of Alston is to win the World's Series. That's Tegarded as just » slight order of hummingbird's wings on toast in Flatbush. Nothing to it. But if the rookie jnanager simply repeats the pennant victory in the National League -- without considering the series -- he will set a precedent. No one since 1900 has taken over a flag winner and repeated the first time out. . " There are only two Cases of managers walking in on title teams -- and both failed, says The Sporting News. John Joseph Barry missed in 1917 with Bill Carrigan's Boston Red Sox team, and Bob O'Farrell couldn't make it when he succeeded Rogers Hornaby with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1927., £oth> finished secon<£ How "The Spook" Got His Nickname Second baseman for the Philadelphia Athletics is Forrest "Spook" Jacobs, a fugitive from the Brooklyn farm system. How did he acquire his nickname ? Says "Spook" in the Sporting News: "They started calling me that in Johnetown. I never used to hit anything to the left-side of the infield. I hit a lot of those dying quails to right. They said I 'spooked' njy hits."
