PAGE SIX " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1948 GIANTS WALLOP DODGERS; LIPPY HAS LAST LAUGH By JOE REICHLER Lippy Leo Durocher rode trium- into the Polo Grounds to- his home debut as man- the New York Giants wim! all the pomp and glory of a con- quering hero No matter what Durocher does from now on, Giant followers will never forget what he did last night. Neither will the Flatbush faithful. 1 phantly day in ager of ILEGION MOVES UP BY 2-1 WIN OVER DOUGLAS FIREMEN Inning: Tot. Legion 2 1 Douglas 6 0 0 Strengthening its second place league standing berth and making a final effort to over- come a strong lead held by the first place Moose, the Legion last night overcame a one-run margin of the first inning and dumped In a setting knee-deep in drama, the former pilot of the Brooklyn Dodgers returned to his old stamp- ing grounds last night and watch- ed his Giants club his former hire- ning rapped out a single which de-i lings into almost total submission. The New Yorkers massacred their inter-borough rivals, 13-4. It was sweet revenge for Giant fans who had seen their favorites humbled 32 times in 39 clashes at Ebbets Field over the last four years. In all the Giants collected 17 base hits against five Dodger pitch- ers. Durocher took an unmerciful booing before the start of the game. Rarely has a manager or player been forced to accept such a show- er of verbal abuse. It started the; minute he poked his head out of the Giant dugout’ and lasted until the game got underway. Cries of “Kill the quitter,” and; “Send the bum back to New York"': were hurled at him. The partial Dodge crowd af 33,932, all that could get into the park,| didn’t know it then, but that was the last chance it had to jeer Durocher and the Giants. Once| the game got under way, it was Leo who had the laugh. The victory, only the fifth in 135 meetings with the Dodgers this years, left the Giants still in fifth ) place, a half game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates.

AP SPORTS " ROUNDU By HUGH FULLERTON, JR., NEW YORK, July 21—(P—Eddie Sawyer, the Phillies' new pilot, is only the second big league baseball manager of the current crop who never played Major League ball. . . . All the others, except Joe McCar- thy, had at least a few seasons in the big show. Joe, it might be added is doing okay. McCarthy's Red Sox and Burt Shotton’s Dodgers really are the sen- sations they've appeared fo be in the past few weeks should be deter- mined by the middie of August. . .. The Red Sox, who charged to the top with 12 straight victories in their home park will be on the road —the Dodgers, who played only four games at home while charging from Jast place to second, will be. sub- jected to the whims of those un- certain Flatbush fans. 10 WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN? Here's to dear old Boston, The home of the Braves and the £ox, Where Perinis speak only to Yaw- keys And the Lowells can jump off the docks. ———,————— THE MONTEREY AVAILABLE For Salmon Derby Days.

Douglas got off to a quick start with their first man up when Man- veloped into the Firemens' only run and the lone hit against Mac- Donald, the Legion pitcher. The Legion evened the score in the iirst of the second when Cope stole home for the tying run. It was then a case of three up and the same down until the first of the fourth when Cope was walked a seccnd time, stole second and third, and then slid home on a bad catch to bring in what proved to be the winning run. The last three innings saw only one hit against Morrison, the Douglas hurler and neither team scored. From the first inning on, Mac- Donald settled down, sent them across the plate in regular order and took the Douglas batters three up and three down in four of the remaining six innings. One Fire- man made first when hit by the pitch baseman’s error, but both died on base, never threatening to make the home mark. The Legion was in dangerous scoring position in the fourth with men down, but Notar was caught reading the latest edition of Sport- ing News off second base and was thrown out for the third down. Again in the fifth the Legion was in scoring position with two town and Tyvol and Terrell on the ;| third and second sacks. But once more the Douglas twister settled down to fan Bud Brown for the | third out. From then on in the Legion failed to make a show, with | Morrison fanning Tyvol, Terrell and Brown in the last frame.
