Giants Take 17-Inning Marathon From Cubs
By UNITED PRESS
Bill Rigney was hired to replace Leo Durocher as manager of the New York Giants, but it looks today like he's out to replace Casey Stengel as the "master manipulator of the major leagues."
Rigney did a job even Stenge would have been proud of Wednesday in guiding the Giants to a 6-5, 17-inning marathon victory over Chicago.
The 25 players used by Rigney wiped out the old record of 24 players used by one team in a game. Manager Stan Hack threw 23 Cubs into the fray, thereby enabling the two teams to set another mark of 48 players employed.
In addition, Rigney tied a National League mark by using eight pitchers and Cub third-baseman Don Hoak earned the dubious distinction of setting another mark by striking out six times.
A total of 41 players saw action as the St. Louis Cardinals beat Pittsburgh, 10-9, in a 10-inning night game. Alex Grammas' safe bunt squeezed across the winning run after the Pirates went ahead, 9-8, in the top of the 10th. Stan Musial hit his second grand slam of the season and drove in five runs for the Red-birds, who went back into first place.
The Cincinnati Redlegs walloped five homers to jolt Brooklyn, 10-6. It was the sixth straight win for the Redlegs and the fourth straight defeat for the stumbling world champions.
Frank Lary's three-hitter led the Tigers to an 8-1 decision over New York and Tom Brewer turned in a three-hitter as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 2-0, in the only American League games.
Sauer Badly Hurt In Batting Practice
ST. LOUIS (UP)—St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Hank Sauer was hospitalized "for several days" today with a severe concussion and lacerations which required a total of 62 stitches.
The big slugger, playing his first season with the Cardinals, was hit on the left ear and mouth last night in pre-game batting practice.
Catcher Walker Cooper had followed Sauer into the batting cage, and the bat slipped from his hands on his first swing.
Boxer Coley Wallace Put On Retired List
BOSTON (UP)—Former heavyweight contender Coley Wallace of New York has been placed on the retired list by the Massachusetts boxing commission. Wallace was released from a hospital Tuesday after treatment for a "moderately severe brain concussion" suffered in a fight at the Boston Garden Saturday night. He was knocked out in the 10th round by Bob Woodall of Boston.
With 44 home runs to his credit in 1955, Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs hit more round-trippers in one season than any other short-stop in the history of the National League.
Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers is the youngest batting champion in the history of baseball.

Stengel Offers Rocky Tryout
AUTO WRECKING and JUNK CO.
NEW YORK (UP)—Rocky Mariciano was offered a tryout with the Yankees today by Casey Stengel, partly because Casey was a little disgusted with his ball club and partly because he figured there was nothing to lose.

Stengel's offer to the retired heavyweight champion came in the wake of a 15-hit 8-1 licking by the Tigers yesterday, the most one-sided defeat the Yankees have absorbed this season.
"Why don't you come on out and try for a spot on our ball club?" Stengel inquired of Marciano when Rocky visited him in his office after the game.
"You can see for yourself it'll be easy to make," Casey added clumly.
"I'd better think about it a little while," Marciano answered, smiling.
Mel Patton Quits Wichita Track Job
WICHITA (UP)—Track Coach Melvin Patton of the University of Wichita resigned yesterday to take a business position in California.
Patton, joint world record holder for the 100-yard dash, went to Wichita last August from Long Beach, Calif., where he had been track coach at City College for four years.
The former University of Southern California sprinter succeeded C. A. Bidwell, who went to the University of Arkansas as track coach.
Colorado University won the 10th annual Wyoming Invitational cross-country meet last October with 18 points, beating Wyoming and Colorado A&M.
3 More Schools On Probation
NEW ORLEANS — The NCAA council Wednesday placed 2-to-3 year probation on Auburn, the University of Florida and the University of Louisville.
Auburn's probationary period, by far the most severe, for three years, was in the way of a warning. The Alabama school was warned that a violation by it during the probationary period "may lead to a recommendation for expulsion" from the NCAA.
For the first two years, Auburn's athletes are barred from all bowl games and a specified list of invitational tournaments. Florida received the same penalty for two years.
Louisville's probation applies only to its basketball team. Louisville was listed sixth in the basketball poll this year.

Hoak Ties Strikeout Record
Don Hoak, Chicago third baseman, tied a major league record Wednesday, striking out six times, as the Cubs lost to New York 5 to 4 in 17 innings. Hoak tied the mark set by Carl Weilman of the St. Louis Browns in 1913. Hoak's feat also broke the National league record formerly held by 12 players.
