Houk on Yankee bench shines with homers and a suspension
Ralph Houk, under pressure as Yankee manager, has his club hitting home runs at a record pace. He drew a $250 fine and five days off for a run-in with umpires in a Baltimore doubleheader, possibly the first Yankee AL manager suspended since 1913. Coaches Sain and Crosetti cover during his absence as Crosetti’s long tenure continues. The Jaycees Carolina swimming meet hits City Lake Pool with top talent from Fort Bragg and Spartanburg, led by Susie Resseguie and Kathy Helfrich, while High Point’s Dick Fadgen hopes for a strong showing. Jim Ward, ex James Island star and new golf pro, is featured.
