Snider Suspended For 'Horseplay'
LOS ANGELES—(UP)—Duke Snider, veteran hitting star of the Dodgers, was on suspension today as punishment for straining a tendon in his elbow while engaging in a bit of horseplay Wednesday night prior to his team's game with the cubs.
Manager Walt Alston, irked be-cause the injury forced him to remove Snider from the lineup and change his batting order after he had announced it, ordered Snider taken off the payroll "until he is in condition to play again."
"I'll admit Don Zimmer and I were horsing around," Snider said after learning of his suspension. "but I hardly expected this sort of punishment."
Dr. Hsl Wendler, team trainer, said the injury was a minor one that should not keep Snider out of the lineup for more than a day or two.
Snider and Zimmer were in the outfield of Memorial Coliseum during the pre-game warmup and engaged in a contest to see which one could throw a ball higher in the air. It was during this contest that Snider suffered the injury to his throwing arm.
As a result, Alston had to substitute Jim Gilliam in left field for Snider as the Dodgers went down to a 7-6 defeat by the Cubs. Gilliam failed to get a hit while subbing for Snider.
A's Lose,8-2 On Road Friday
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UP)—The Kansas City Athletics end the year's first home stand today as Jack Urban (1-0) was named to oppose the rampaging Detroit Tigers.
Former Tiger Duke Maas was the victim last night as Detroit took an 8-2 victory in the opener of a two-game set. Billy Martin blasted three straight hits against his former mates as Detroit moved to within a game of the first place New York Yankees.
Kansas City dropped to third on the setback, a half game behind Detroit. Paul Foytack went the distance for the Tigers, spreading six hits, one a solo ninth inning homerun by Hector Lopez.
Detroit scored four runs in the third inning to hand Maas the loss in a three inning starting assignment. Charley Maxwell scored two runners in the third with a long single.
Following today's game, the Athletics head east for a long road trip. They return May 13 against the Chicago White Sox.

Yankees Take Rap For Move
UNITED PRESS
NEW YORK—(UP)—It may be true that everybody loves a winner, but you can't sell that to the New York Yankees.
When the Dodgers and Giants moved west, there was some speculation that the Yankees might pick up some of the National League Patronage. It was the old theory of it being the only wheel in town and therefore would get the play.
But the Yankees are drawing less than last season—at least in their first five games—and there is a feeling now that they may be taking the rap for an anti-baseball feeling engendered by the newest California gold rush.
Dartmouth College's indoor track in Alumni Gymnasium is a 260-yard cinder track (6¾ laps to a mile) with a 60-yard straight-away.
Head football coach Jack Mitchell sent his 64 charges through their second day of extensive practices, trying to mold a team he could work with in his first season next fall. Mitchell and his six man squad worked the players for $2^{1/2}$ hours in extensive contact drills and basic fundamentals.
Players' Efforts Please Mitchell
Mitchell will be trying again tonight to find the right combination as he prepares for the Saturday scrimmage between squads. The scrimmage will be in Memorial Stadium at 2 p.m.
Still concerned about the lack of speed, Mitchell said he was surprised at the effort the players are putting out.
"The guys are making much more effort than we'd hoped for. They've got a lot of fire and that will help." Mitchell said.
"However, I'm afraid speed is always going to be a problem for us. It's a problem now and I think it will be a problem next fall. I don't know how we're going to get away from it." he added.
Mitchell seemed especially pleased with the work of his fullbacks, mostly players coming in from last season's freshman squad. He also complimented the work of Buddy Merritt in his new spot at quarterback.
