FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1948 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRL —JUNhAU ALASKA BOSTON IN TOP PLACEIN NAT. LEAGUE By BEN PHLEGAR The magic touch of Billy South- worth is working wonders on still ancther ball player, pitcher Bill Voiselle. The once disgruntled curve baller of the New York Giants has turned into the Boston Braves' biggest win- ner under the patient guidance of Boston Billy. This season he's won seven and lost three, although he slumped after winning his first four games. Two of those victories came yes- terday against the Chicago Cubs Voiselle came to the relief of Larren Spahn in the second inning of the first game of a twin bill. The Braves trailed, 5-0, but went on to win, 7-5. Then in the nightcap he was called upon in the ninth with the«score tied, 7-7. He put out the e, then retired for pinch hitter Bill Salkeld Salkeld drew a base on balls from Jesse Dobernic with the bases loaded and forced in the winning run The pair of triumphs gave Boston undisputed possession of first place in the National League. The Pirates took the measure of the New York Giants, 9 to 8, despite four New York home runs. Stan Musial feasted on Philadel- | phia pitching for the second straight game as the St. Louis Cardinals whipped the Phillies, 4 to 1. Cincinnati beat Brooklyn, 5 to 3. in the other National League game. Cleveland’s front running Indians suffered their fourth straight loss, this time to Boston, 8 to 6. The In- dians stayed in the game until the sixth, when Don DiMaggio put the Red Sox ahead to stay with a home run. The Philadelphia Athletics, who move in to Cleveland tonight for a four game series, advanced to within two games of the Indians by defeat- ing Detroit, 5 to 2. s AP Seals Defeat Rainiers by Score of 6-3| By BOB TUCKMAN The f{ront-running San Fran- cisco Seals—the team to beat in the Pacific Coast League—are get- ting some unlooked for help from the cellar-dwelling Portland Beav- ers. The Beavers scored their second consecutive shutout victory over second-place Los Angeles last night and the win, plus a San Francisco triumph, gave the Seals a four- game lead for the first time since June 2. Portland’s Vince Di Biasi held Los Angeles to two hits in pitch- ing his mates to a 6-0 decision. Cliff Melton allowed Seattle nine hits as San Francisco tripped the Rainiers, 6-3. The losing pitcher, Johnny Gorsica, allowed the Seals seven hits. San Prancisco jumped to a three- run first inning lead featured by Joe Brovia's homer with one on board. After two nights of slugfests, Hollywood and Sacramento engag- ed in a pitcher's battle and the Stars won, 4-2. The Oaks reached thiree . San Diego hurlers for 15 hits in punch- ing out a 12-3 triumph. STANDING OF THE CLUBS National League w L 30 . 29 . 28 Pet. 571 569 549 529 491 469 444 317 ‘Team: Boston Pittsburgh St. Louis ..
