He's a Kansas City Athletics bonus signee out of Jefferson High School and currently the shortstop for Day-tona Beach. Although LaRussa starred at bat and was errorless in the field in his first Tampa appearance last week, the game last night was a completely different story. The much sought after youngster struck out three times and committed four errors. LaRussa's miscues were It was bound to happen; that tiff between Tarpon pilot Johnny Vander Meer and Florida State League umpire Charlie Lott.

Take experienced baseball men for managers in this instance Vander Meer being the former Cincinnati Reds hurler of double no-hit fame and mix with rookie players and rookie umpires in a rookie league. It reaps trouble. Vander Meer stated that he had been "run" an average of once a game this year, while the past four years saw just four bad calls. But let's go back over that disputed play once again. Lakeland was setting their defense for the hidden ball trick the same one attempted earlier in the game.

Tampa had Len Boehmer Known as "Black Mike" during his playing days because of his fierce competitive spirit. Cochrane's career as a plaver ended abruptly in May, 1937. at Yankee Stadium. Cochrane had slammed a home run in the third inning and stepped to the plate in the fifth with the score tied. Bump Hadley fired a fast.

Inside pitch on a three and two count. The ball struck the side of Cochrane's head and he hovered between life and death for many days. Voted into the Hall of Fame In 1947, Cochrane batted .320 during 13 major league seasons. Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1925 and spent nine years with the Athletics before moving to Detroit. With the Tigers he enjoyed his greatest diamond success as catcher and later as manager.

He sparked the Tigers to pennants in 1934 and 1935. But Cochrane was plagued by poor health after those two big seasons. He was forced to rest at a Wyoming ranch midway through the 1936 season and returned to the Tigers for the final month of the campaign, leading a surge that earned Detroit a second place finish. LAKE FOREST, 111.. June 28 a'PD Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane, a member of baseball's Hall of Fame, died today at Lake Forest Hospital.

George Caldwell, administrator of the private hospital, said Cochrane died after a prolonged illness. He said Cochrane was brought to the hospital from his home in nearby Lake Bluff, 111., on June 25. Caldwell, ho 1 i to specify the cause of death, said Cochrane's wife was at the bedside when her husband died. Cochrane, who was 59, was signed by the late Connie on second base, and another runner on third with one out. The Lakeland second baseman was situated off second base, some 16 to 18 feet away.

Boehmer was firmly planted on top of the bag. Umpire Lott was facing the pitcher about halfway between the pitcher's mound and the second base. He had his back to the play. The second baseman sprang towards Boehmer "who has yet to move" according to Van FSL Standings Pet. C.B.

Miss Moffitt, an 18-year-old college student from Long Beach, produced the most startling upset in the history of women's singles at Wimbledon when she eliminated top-seeded Margaret Smith of Australia in a second round match Tuesday. Following that victory over Miss Smith, Billie Jean admitted it was Miss Caldwell, a 19-year-old native of Santa Monica, who had provided her with the right strategy to beat the Aussie champion. Today's match between little Miss Moffitt and her closest pal is certain to attract a capacity crowd to Wimbledon's court No. 1.

But it won't be their first meeting not by a long shot. "We've met about 40 times or so. I guess, and I'm ahead so far," said Billie Jean. Four of the five other U.S. survivors in the women's singles also will see action today.

But several other plays had been culminating. Two such events happened in the Palatka series one in Tampa and the other in the latter city.

"It was the worst call I have ever seen in baseball and I've seen my share." began Vander Meer. "My pitcher was standing on the mound. He takes his man.
