SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1946 PITCHERS HAVE DAY ONMOUND BY JOE REICHLER (AP SPORTS WRITER) 8am Zoldak, an obscure lefthand- er from Brooklyn, N. Y., who spent two long years trying to convince Manager Luke Sewell that he could be a big I e winner if given the chance, gives promise of estab- lishing himself as the ace of the St. Louis Browns’ mound staff ‘The Polish portsider, who pitched the Browns into third place in the American League yesterday with a reven-hit 5-1 victory over tke Washington Senators, earned his spurs the hard way. As good as was there wera three better pitching performances yesterday in a day when the hurling far outclassed the hitting. No less than three shutouts were turned in with Adlen Gettle's probably the most signifi- cant Gettle thwarted the De- troit Tigers with only two hits as the New York Yankees handed the world champions their fifth straight deieat, 2-0. The victory came at the expens? zy Trout, an old Yankee ne- Little Phil Rizzuto, who in the day turned down a $100,000 Mexican League offer, singled in the f{irst Yankee run and Charlie Keller'’s home run ac- counted for the second. Zolak's work, a Giants Shurout Schmitz, Chicago Cubs’ lefthander, was credited with a 1-0 shutout over the New York Giants but a fine relief job by Hi Bithorn made it possible. Schmitz was driven from the mound in the ninth inning when the Giants load- ed the bases with one out, but Bittorn stepped up to the hill and farned the next two batters tc save the game. Al Jurisich, Philadelphia Phil’s righthander purchased from the St Louis Cardinals last winter, blanked the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 with four hits to record his second vict Eight Win Streak ‘\flckey Harris, undefeated left- hander, gained his fourth triumph as the American League leading Boston Red Sox stretched their win- ning streak to eight consecutive games by outscoring Cleveland, 9-4 Ted Wills and Rudy York each hit their third homers for the Sox. Ken Heintzelman southpawed his way to his third triumph of the season and hung the first defeat on Johnny Sain as Pittsburgh shad- ed the Boston Braves, 3-2. Heint- zelman gave up five hits while the Pirates garnered six. The Chicago White Sox over- came a four run deficit in the sixth inning to defeat the Philadelphia Athletes 8-5. Murrell Jones ham- mered a three-run homer in the Johnny eventh to provide the Sox with the mar of victory.
