The wind and sand was terrible, but Wednesday night's
Sweetwater-Roswell baseball game was one of the most
suspense-filled affairs of the season as the Braves rallied
With four runs in the sixth inning to trip the Rockets, 4 to 3.
Charlie Buck and Rocky Carlini delivered in the clutch
for Sweetwater, belting a two-run single and a two-run
double, respectively, to give the Braves their fourth straight
victory and their ninth triumph in the last 11 games.
The second-place Sweet-
water club — only three and
one-half games off the pace
of league-leading Odessa —
opens a three-game stand at
Midland tonight. The Braves
then go to San Angelo for
three tilts before returning
home.
Estrada Looks Sharp
Newcomer Tony Estrada and
Manager Alex Carrasquel collab-
orated in a brilliant eight and two-
thirds innings of relief pitching
Wednesday night for Sweetwater's
seventh straight win over their
“cousins" from New Mexico.
Estrada, a limited service player
and veteran of the Mexican lea-
gues, received his first trial with
the Braves since reporting here
from Paris early this week.
The stocky right-hander relieved
starter Rolando Rodriquez in the
first inning after Bill Cearley
smashed a bases-loaded triple to
put the Rockets ahead. 3-0.
And that was the last time Ros-

well got a glimpse of the pay sta-
tion. Estrada had the Rocket bat-
ters bouncing easy grounders down
the third base line and Luis Suar-
ez came up with 10 assists.
Estrada allowed only two hits in
five and two-thirds innings, where-
upon Manager Carrasquel decided
to gamble for a few runs and re-
placed Tony as a pinch-hitter in
the sixth stanza.
16-Game Hit Streak
Catcher Tony Traspuesto—run-
ning his consecutive-game hitting
streak to 16—led off Sweetwater's
big sixth inning with a scratch hit
down the third base line.
Gus Ungo. batting for Kenny
Hughes, drew a walk and Carras-
quel came in to pinch-hit for Es-
trada. The Sweetwater manager
struck out on a full-count pitch, but
Hank Galban kept the Braves'
hopes alive by receiving a free
ticket to fill the sacks.
Buck, who collected three of his
team's seven safeties, drilled a
single into left field, scoring Tras-
puesto and Gil Grajeda, who was
running for Ungo.
A wild pitch moved Galban and
Buck to third and second.
Up stepped Sweetwater's little
giant, Rocky Carlini. In his three
previous appearances at the plate
he had drawn walks as Rocket Pit-
cher Bob Weaver didn’t care to
take any chances with the clutch-
hitting specialist.
Fatal Decision
But this time Weaver felt lucky
and decided to pitch to Carlini. It
was a fatal decision, for Rocky
slammed one of his pitches be
tween left-center field for a double
and brought in the tying and win-
ning runs.
In the three-game series, Carlini
came to bat 16 times and reached
base all 16 times: three home runs,
one double, one single, 10 walks and
one fielder’s choice.
Roswell threatened to tie it up
in the seventh and ninth innings
against Carrasquel, Bob West
reached base in the seventh on Gal-
ban’s error. Weaver attempted to
sacrifice, but Carrasquel made a
perfect throw to Galban covering
second.
However. Galban lost the ball,
and it appeared that both runners
were safe. But the Sweetwater
shortstop quickly retrieved the bail
and tagged W'est, who had over-
slid the bag.
Timely Double Play
In the ninth, with two Rockets
on base and one out, Shortstop Gal-
ban and Second Baseman Billy
Carmona teamed to retire the side
on a double play.
The Braves had Weaver on the
ropes in the first and fifth innings,
but couldn't break the scoring ice.
The first three batters to face
Weaver in the opening frame
reached base safely, then the Ros-
well pitcher caught Charlie Tuttle
and Warren Sliter on strike outs.
Again in the fifth the Braves fill-
ed the bases with no one out, only
to see Weaver pull through with a
pair of strike outs.
The officiating left much to be
desired.

Hank Sauer
On Rampage
CHICAGO, June 12 llPi—Hammer-
ing Hank Sauer of the Chicago
Cubs disdained comparison with
the immortal Babe Ruth Thursday,
even though he was leading the
major leagues in five departments
and equalling the Babe's record
pace.
"Don’t be comparing me with
Ruth,” Sauer said after he belted
three homeruns against the Phila-
delphia Phillies Wednesday to give
the Cubs a 3 to 2 triumph and post
his 16th, 17th and 18th four-baggers
in his 50th game of the season.
That mark duplicated Ruth's pro-
gress in 1927. when he hung up 60
homers for the year, a record in-
frequently approached and never
equalled. In 1927 Ruth scored his
19th and 20th homeruns in his 52nd
game. Sauer’s 52nd contest will
come at Boston Friday and Thurs-
day he was to help close the Cubs’
current homestand against Ihe
Phils.
Wednesday's scorching perform-
ance raised his batting average to
.352, his runs batted in to 58, his
hits to 70 and his runs to 36, all
tops in the majors this year along
with his homerui: mark.
It was an unusually fast start for
the lanky hut husky outfielder, and
Sauer could give no reason for the
surge.

Open NCAA Tourney
OMAHA, Juno 12 UPt—The world
[series of college baseball got un-
derway Thursday with gruff Jack
Coombs complaining "somebody
made a mistake" in installing his
Duke Blue Devils as favorites.
Coombs, a Philadelphia athletic
star a few decades ago, said the
favorite "should be one of the west-
ern clubs , . They play a lot of
baseball oui there in that sun-
shine."
The West vs. F.ast feud got off to
a fast start with 15-game winner
Penn State scheduled to meet two-
time NCAA baseball champion
Texas in the opener at 12 noon
est. Texas, surprise entry this year,
won the series in 1949 and 1950.
Duke takes on Oregon State in the
second game.
Marshall Going Strong
CINCINNATI, June 12 lift — One
of the hottest hitters in the majors
is Willard Marshall, recently pur-
chased by the Reds from the
Braves.
In eight games with the Reds,
the big outfielder hay batted at a
.444 clip with 16 hits in 36 trips
to the plate to life his season’s av-
erage to .304. Marshall has hit
safely in all eight games he has
played with the Reds and in only
two of the eight has he gotten less
than two hits.

Proper Pitching Changes
Although this U only his first
year to manage a baseball club.
Alex Carrasquel stands above the
veteran Longhorn League pilots In
one rc-pect:
He knows when to “pull” a pitch-
er and when to leave one on the
mound.
That knowledge comes, of
course, through his many years of
pitching experience in the majors
and high minors.
The Sweetwater manager usual-
ly knows when one of his hurlers
is stepping into trouble and Alex
doesn't waste any time getting an-
other chunker warmed up.
Many a ball game is won through
the proper insertions of re-
lief pitchers. Seme times a hurl-
er will falter briefly in one inning,
then snap out of it and pitch bril-
So far this season, Carrasquel
iiantly the remaining distance,
has had remarkable success in
judging whether a pitcher should
be yanked or left with the task of
pulling out of the nosedive.
Lack of such knowledge has been
the major fault of past Sweetwa-
ter managers.
They generally gambled wrong
when faced with the "should he go
or should he stay" problem.
—SS—
Wise Decisions
Conclusive proof of Carrasquel's
ability to judge pitching situations
correctly was offered in the recent
six-day home stand with Artesia
and Roswell.
Notable examples:
In the first game (June 61 Chief
Miller was sailing along splendid-
ly with a 6-0 lead, when the Artesia
batters blasted him for five
straight hits (including three dou-
bles) in the sixth inning.
Despite the big uprising, which
shaved Sweetwater's lead to two
runs, Alex decided to stick with the
big Indian. And Miller came
through magnificently, retiring the
next 11 batters in order and per-
mitting only two balls to get out
of the infield.
Sunday, he sent in Rolando Rod-
riquez to replace Dean Higgins in
the eighth inning and the little Cu-
ban saved the 9-8 victory for the
side-armer.
Monday, it looked like Ernie Sad-
ler was headed for the showers
when he walked five Roswell bat-
ters in ihe fourth inning to narrow
the Braves’ margin to 3-2.
Carrasquel had another pitcher
ready to go in by this time, but he
gambled on Sadler and the young-
ster didn’t disappoint his manager.
He tossed shutout ball and allow-
ed only two hits the final five in-
nings for a 6-2 triumph.
_gg_
How Did You Feel?
Tuesday, Chief Miller was coast-
ing along with a 6-1 advantage in
the fourth frame*
But he missed the plate with four
straight pitches and Aiex waved
Gil Grajeda to the bull pen.
A hit batsman and a base-on-
balls later, Carrasquel decided that
was enough for Miller and sent in
Grajeda. You know how Gil cut
’em down the rest of the way.
How did YOU feel in the above
situations?
Many grandstand managers
would have jerked Miller in the
June 6 game when he gave up five-
straight hits for four runs.
Likewise, several thought — at
that time—that he should not re-
lieve Higgins in favor of the un-
predictable Rodriquez.
Everyone believed Sadler was
doomed when he couldn’t locate the
plate temporarily.
And what about taking Miller oui
while enjoying a five-run margin?
You know something, fans? May-
be that’s why we’re not managing
a baseball club. Our guesses might
go wrong too many times.
Take last night’s game, for in-
stance. We dare say no one < in the
grandstand i would have replaced
Pitcher Tony Estrada for a pineh-
hitter in the sixth inning.
But Carrasquel—who is paid to
win ball games for Sweetwater and
is doing just that—played the "per-
centages" and gambled on catch-
ing up. The Braves are still in sec-
ond place as a result.
—SS—
Determining "Winner”
Sweetwater's official score-keep-
er received numerous inquiries re-
garding Tuesday night’s "winning
pitcher" selection
Many thought that Miller should
have received credit for the victory
over Roswell since the Braves
were never behind in the scoring.
These quotes from the scoring
manual will clarify that:
“Do not always give the first
pitcher credit for a game won, ev-
en if the score is in his favor, un-
less he has pitched at least five in-
nings . . .
“In case starting pitcher leaves
game before five innings i for in-
effectiveness or because of being
removed by the umpire) and his
team is ahead and remains ahead
to win, and if the relief pitcher,
too, retires before the game is
completed, scorer should credit
victory (as between first and all
relieving pitcher) to the one who
did the best work . . .
"If, however, a starting pitcher
is taken out because of his team
having secured a commanding and
winning lead in a few innings, or
is forced to retire through an in-
jury or illness, when his team has
a commanding lead, then he is en-
titled to be credited with the vic-
tory . . .
"The five inning rule to deter-
mine a winning pitcher shall be in
effect for all games, whether nine
or seven inning affairs."
GEORGIA BLAMED
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 12 (IP) -
Sen Estes Kefauver said Thurs-
day that his defeat in the Florida
presidential primary may have
been partly due to Georgians who
moved into Florida to vote against
him. It was his lone defeat so far.
Hogan Seeks
Fourth Title
By CD FITE
DALLAS, June 12 (IB—It was Ben
Hogan against the field and the
weather Thursday as the Uttle Tex-
an with the precision swing went
after his fourth straight U. S. Open
golf championship.
No man has ever won four
straight.
The 162-player field was full of
stars who conceivably could de-
throne the little comeback king but
the strongest challengers looked
Uke former champion Lloyd Man-
grum, perfectionist Bobby Locke,
and Sam Snead, who’s been so
near and yet so far from other
Open crowns.
Early Starter
But, It may be the weather—hot
and sultry, the kind which sucks
a man's strength out through the
pores—which may prove more of
a stumbling block to Hogan than
his competitors Thursday. How-
ever, the game blacksmith's son,
who is rapidly approaching his 40th
birthday, gets a break in that he
drew an early tee time and will
finish before the 90-degree heat can
take its toll.
But Friday Hogan doesn't go off
until more than an hour after mid-
day, and the USGA schedule calls
for a gruelling all-day 36-hole grind
on Saturday for the 50 survivors of
the opening two rounds.
Only two other men have ever
won this most prized honor of the
golfing world four times, but neith-
er of them—Bobby Jones or Willie
Anderson—made it four straight as
Bantam Ben could do.
Jake LaMotta
Beats Murphy
DETROIT, June 12 (Vi—Irish Bob
Murphy Thursday blamed his 10-
round loss to Jake LaMotta Wed-
nesday night on a long layoff and
asked for a re-match within 30
days.
Murphy, 175Vi, said he had pared
his weight down from 214 pounds
since February and he didn’t have
anything left in the closing stages.
LaMotta scaled 159Va.
“I just ran out of steam," Mur-
phy said. “I lost the last two
rounds and that was the fight."
Important Victory
All three ring officials gave La-
Motta an edge in the ninth and
tenth rounds which were decisive
because Judge Andy Brown and
Referee Johnny Weber gave the
winner a much wider edge—55-45.
The victory was perhaps the
most important in LaMotta's ca-
reer since he lifted the middle-
weight championship from the late
Marcel Cerdan three years ago.
Jake, 30, had been on the down-
grade after he lost his title to Ray
Robinson in February, 1951. and
started a comeback campaign only
this year. It was his third succes-
sive triumph in as many months,
following decisions over Norman
Hayes and Eugene iSilent) Hair-
ston.
Giants Defeat
Tigers, 10-4
The aVndervoort Giants defeated
the Younger Finance Tigers, 10 to
4, in a little League game Wednes-
day.
Doubles by Sherrill and Kent, a
single by Byrd and two walks gave
the Giants five runs in the second
inning. After picking up single runs
in the third and fourth, the Giants
pushed across three tallies in the
fifth on doubles by Greer and Kent,
a single by Chiieoat and an error.
Byrd pitched a five-hitter for the
winners.
Remaining games this week:
Thursday—Village Market Rebels
vs. VFW Cubs; Friday—Giants vs.
Sears-Smith Apaches.
College Meet Opens
BERKELEY, Calif., June 12 IIP)—
The all-important national colleg-
iate track and field meet gets un-
der way here Friday with 11 men
back to defend their crowns and at
the same time hoping to qualify for
the Olympic trials in Los Angeles
June 27-28,
The weather forecast is for a
bright sun and there will be a fast
track as the nation’s outstanding
college athletes gun for new rec-
ords.
Due to the fact that all of the
races are being run on Ihe metric
measurement this year to get a
line on Olympic chances, it is
probable that as many as 10 rec-
ords may be smashed. Very few,
if any, national or world marks are
expected to be threatened.

San Angelo Drops
Two, Odessa Loses
San Angelo lost both ends of a
double-header to Midland Wednes-
day night and tumbled out of a
second-place deadlock with Sweet-
water and Big Spring, who moved
within three and one-half games of
the Longhorn leader, Odessa.
Big Spring defeated Odessa. 7-5,
and Sweetwater edged Roswell, 4-
3, to remain neck-and-neck in their
pursuit for first place.
Midland dropped San Angelo’s
Colts a game and-half behind Ihe
Broncs and Braves hy copping a
double hill, 6-1, 5-3.
Fifth place Artesia made it three
in a row over last-place Vernon, 16-
4.
The teams change sites tonight:
Sweetwater at Midland. Roswell al
Odessa, Big Spring at Artesia and
San Angelo at Vernon,
Baez, Quintana Homer
Two-run homers by Bert Baez
and Witty Quintana enabled Big
Spring to shade the slipping Oil-
ers, who bowed for the fifth
straight time.
Odessa batters also smashed two
roundtrippers, but the Oiler blows
came with the bases empty. Ro-
man iLefty) Loyko and Felix Cas-
tro notched the homers.
Gil Guerra annexed his seventh
victory. Leon Hayes was the los-
er.
A two-run single by Charlie Buck
and a two-run double by Rocky
Carlini gave the Braves their 4-3
win over Roswell.
Midland’s Keith Nicolls shackled
San Angelo, 6-1, on seven hits in
the opener and rookie Herb Dwirc
delivered another seven-hitter in
the nightcap as the Indians won.
5-3.
Home runs by Jake McClain and
Cotton Russell failed to provide the
Colts with a split.
Bauman Gets 19th
Joe Bauman poled his 19th hom-
er of Ihe season as Artesia throt-
tled Vernon, lfi-4.
The Drillers eolleetcd 24 hits off
