Show Cleveland Stock Goes Up With Purchase Of Von Man' Hayes CLEVELAND Br CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, May 30 U.R There was no holiday in the baseball base-ball marts today where lively speculation centered on the chances of the Cleveland Indians now that they .have acquired F rankle Hayes, the most durable catcher in the major leagues. Even in defeat, the Indian pen nant stock was bullish, because the team has been playing good baseball of late, and lack of a good all-around catcher was their principal weakness. The stunning news that Manager Man-ager Connie Mack of the Phila delphia A's had traded the "iron man in the iron mask" - in a straight player deal for Catcher Warren (Buddy) Rosar, idle holdout hold-out of the Indians, overshadowed everything else along the diamond dia-mond fronts. A look at the latest official records of American league catchers catch-ers not only revealed Hayes' all-around all-around hitting superiority, but emphasized the general deficiency of the current war-time crop. Hayes, who will work for his new team-mates today, helped beat them yesterday, getting one of the six hits the A's obtained in beating the Indians, 2 to 1 in 10 innings. The Yankees swept their three-game three-game series with the Browns at New York, winning the finale, 11 to 0 behind Atley Donald's five-hit five-hit pitching. 'It was his fourth victory and second shutout Every Yankee hit safely at least once. Oscar Grimes, But Metheny and George Stirnweiss getting three each in the 15-hit assault off three Brownie pitchers. I Successive fifth inning triples by Bob Johnson and Pete Fox provided the margin for a 6 to 4 Red Sox victory over the White Sox at Boston. Francis (Red) Barrett, who relieved starter George Woods after he cut an ankle running the bases, was the winning pitcher. Bill Salkeld's ninth - inning three-run homer gave the Pirates m last-ditch 4 to 3 victory over the Giants at Pittsburgh, and a sweep of the three-game series. It was their eighth straight victory, vic-tory, relief pitcher Ken Gables, who pitched the ninth, getting the credit for it. Brooklyn broke a four-game Cub winning streak at Chicago, getting 14 hits off three pitchers for a 10 to 3 victory. Ben Chapman, Chap-man, who pitched the route, gained gain-ed his second victory of the season sea-son and the second over the Cubs. We is the only Dodger pitcher v ho has beaten them. Two other Barrett's saw action at St Louis, Charley (Red) Barrett Bar-rett winning his second straight since coming from the Braves in the deal for Morton Cooper, beating beat-ing the Phils 8 to 1 on four hits, l-osing Pitcher Dick (Kewpie) Barret was batted out in the fifth. The Cards made 12 hits. There were no other major league games scheduled. HOW TH1Y AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L.

May 30 U.R LSixteen of the east's candidates for the Kentucky derby, including all of the leading contenders, came up today to the test which will determine whether they will go in the "run for the roses" at Churchill Downs, June 9. They were among 19 horses en tered In two divisions of the $25,- 000 added Wood Memorial, annual feature of the Jamaica meeting, and which was set back this year by the ban on racing. But the delay has resulted in added Interest in New York's derby der-by preview, and a Memorial day throng of 50,000 was expected to see the two races on which the owners of the derby entrants will base their horses' chances for the bigger race. Although only four bosses which won the Wood went on to capture the derby. Gallant Fox in 1930, Twenty Grand in 1931, Johnstown in 1939, and Count Fleet in 1943 owners seldom sel-dom send their thoroughbreds to Louisville unless they make satisfactory satis-factory showings in the mile and a sixteenth Wood. Nine of the east's hopefuls, along with a three-year-old not entered in the -blue grass classic. will go in the first division with Col. C. V. Whitney's Jeep and Maine Chance farm's War Jeep, co-favorites at 2 to 1. Their favoritism fav-oritism stemmed from their victories vic-tories in the experimental handicap handi-cap and Jamaica handicap, re spectively. Andy Irkland will be up on the Whitney colt, while Johnny Adams will handle the reins on War Jeep. 'Wall Is Heavy Sticker for Navy Campbell "Wally" Wallace, former for-mer B. Y.

May 30 uM There were guesses but no an swers today as to why the. Philadelphia Phil-adelphia -A's traded Catcher Frankle Hayes, now in a 189- game consecutive appearance streak, to the Cleveland Indians for Warren (Buddy) Rosar. who hasn't been to a game this year. It was one of baseball's most astonishing deals, but Connie Mack, the elderly manager, and president of the Athletics, would not elaborate on it other than to insist that it was a straight player transfer with ho cash in volved. "We have acquired Mr. Rosar for Frank and that is all' I care to say about the deal," he said. Manager Lou BOudreau of the Indians was joyful. He said that Hayes, now holder of the American Ameri-can League mark for consecutive games by a catcher, would be given a chance to set a new major ma-jor league mark. He needs only 28 games to go to tie the mark of 217 straight games set "by Ray Mueller of the Reds in 1943 and 1944, before he went into military service. "Hayes is my new catcher and I expect him to provide the club with much needed hitting power," pow-er," Boudreau .said, i It was as good a guess as any that Hayes was released by the A's because Mack felt he wasn't delivering that hitting power. He recently was dropped from fourth to seventh in the batting order and the A's have gone into in-to eighth place in the American League because of inability to hit with runners on base. Last year, Hayes was the most dependable man . on the club in that respect, leading it in runs batted in with 78 for the year. Although his current batting mark of .227 is considerably below be-low his .248 mark of 1944, he still is pacing all catchers in the circuit in the important R. B. I. department with 14 and is first in homers with three. Boudreau didn't want to say whether the addition of Hayes would make the Indians pennant contenders, but the grin on his face belled his silence. "We just never talk about pennants," he said.

I Miles West of Spanish Fork PHONE 38 By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, May 30 UJD- Manager Steve O'Neill was stir prisingly cheerful and confident as his challenging Ticers faced the league-leading Yanks for today's double-header that opens their lmporiam tnree-game series. - O'Neill's Detroiters, only two games behind the Yanks, could take over the American-circuit lead by sweeping the series. But such a feat would verge on the miraculous because: (1) The Yanks are on win ning spree. They haven't lost a game since their return to New York from the west. They have clicked off eight straight victories that Included aeries sweeps against the White Sox and Browns. (2) The Tigers take the field with one stellar pitcher, Alton Al-ton Benton, out with a broken ankle; and with another top flln-ger, flln-ger, Dizzy Trout, recovering from a side injury. (3) Detroit hasn't been hitting well. Durlna a chat last night in the Hotel New Yorker lobby, 0711 said, "I don't know -what will nap pen in tnis series wun the Yanks; we'll do the best we can. But as far as the pennant race is con cerned, we have just as good a chance of winning as any club in the league. It's a tough race in which there seems to be no standout' stand-out' club, although it's my personal per-sonal opinion that the yanks are tne outiu to beau But. won't the absence of Ben ton lessen the Tigers' chances? Ill say it will!" declared the burly, middle-aged man in the neat grey suit "I figure Benton will be out for at least a month. He had started off with five wins and only one loss. It was almost certain that he'd win at least 20 games for us the same number of wins I expected to get from Trout and from Hal Newhouser." How is Trout now? "Trout's about ready to pitch again; least he says he is. He pulled a muscle in his side 10 days ago and wasn't able to throw a ball at all until Monday at Wash ington when he warmed tip a little. He was out playing golf at at the Winged Foot club today, and says his side felt swelL Dizzy wants to pitch against New York; but I don't think 111 let him at least not in the Memorial Day double-header. I figure on using Newhouser, although he's had only two days rest, and (Stubby) Overmire. I may make Trout wait until we get to Boston Friday. Solid Steve said the injuries to Benton and Trout had been: a blow to the club because the Tiger were depending largely upon Ditching at this stage of the Cam- Sign, while the hitting was woe lly weak. He promised, however, that his. Bengals would, improve their wand work soon. For example, Rudy York has a slightly better batting average now than at this time last season; but he isn't get ting distance Into his drives. The slugging first-sacker. who belted 34 homers in '43 and 18 last sea son, has made but one four-bagger" this year. O'Neill said he was convinced that York is a hot-weather hot-weather hitter. Roger Cramer is in a temporary slump, he ex plained, and Jimmy Webb and Jimmy Outlaw are not hitting up to par. Steve praised the all-around play of Third Baseman Bob Maier, who replaced service-taken service-taken Pinky Higgins; also the piay or second-sacxer. j&aaie Mayo. He said Outfielder Roy Cullenbine acquired this season from Cleveland already had helped the club by driving in winning runs in at least three games. Catchers Paul Richards and Bob Swift are the best handlers hand-lers of pitchers in the league, he pointed out, although neither is very potent at bat. "Sure, we miss Dick Wakefield's Wake-field's bat," he concluded. "What team wouldn't? But we've still got a good club a strong de fensive club, with capable pitch ing, our hitting will improve, and we'll give any of them a fight for the pennant if we don't get any more bad breaks."
