Gerry Staley smashed 2 homeruns and he tossed a complete game at Shibe Park
where the Cleveland Indians beat the awful Philadelphia Phillies by the score
of 10 to 3.

Staley was in a groove all day.  The Philadelphia fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box.  He quieted the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam
in the 2nd inning, smashed a two-run homer in the 5th inning and doubled
plating all three baserunners in the 6th inning.  Cleveland finished with 10
hits in the victory.  

Staley(1-0) got the victory, allowing 3 runs for the game. Murry Dickson(8-14)
was the loser.  He was knocked around, surrendering 9 runs in 6 and 1/3
innings.  

Staley said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate
today.  You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you can.  A couple
pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
