THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1949 3 KEY MEN IN MAJORS GET HURT By JACK HAND Injuries to Stan Rojek, Bod Elliott and Lou Boudreau, all key men in the major league pennant races, overshadow the scores in to- duy’s baseball news. A pitched :all by Ken Johnson, fifth St. Louis pitcher, struck Rojek | near the left eye in the nxnml inning last night at Sportsman’'s park. He walked a short distance and collapsed just as teammates reached him. Early reports from the indicat®d that no fracture feund. The incident took most of the zing out of the Pirates’ 7-1 victory over the Cardinals. It should have Leen a big night for the Pirates because Murry Dickson, the ex- Cardinal who was purchased for $125,000 last winter, faced his old| mates for the first time. HIT ON KNEE The Boston Braves' hopes ol re- peating as National League champs took a sharp drop when third base- man Elliott was hit on the knee and carried off the field at Shibe Park on a stretcher. The big power man of the Boston attack was felled by a line drive. Later it developed that Elliott's injury was not con- sidered serious. Despite Elliott's accident, the Braves shut out the Phils, 2-0, on a fine three-hit effort by Warren Spahn. Only one man, Richie Ash- Lurn in the eighth, reached second base. Pete Reiser drove in both runs oft Robin Roberts with a sec- ongd inning single. HIT ON ELBOW Boudreau was forced to leave the Cleveland-Chicago White Sox af- ternoon game when hit on the left elbow ty pitcher Orval Grove. X-ray pictures showed the injury appar- ently was only a bruise. Cleveland went on a batting spree to run the Chicago Sox, 11-3 with Mickey Vernon, the ex-Washington first sacker, and Ken Keltner hit- ting home runs. The New York Yankees' march was rudely interrupted at Wash- ington when the win-starved Sena- tors came from behind to break a ceven-game losing streak, 4-3 in 10 innings. The Nats scored three in the ninth after Allie Reynolds pitched shutout ball for 8 2-3 in-| nings. Clyde Vollmer's triple was the big blow. In the extra frame, ‘Washington hung the loss on fire- man Joe Page. Pitcher Forest Thompson doubled, took third on Ralph Houk’s errcr and scored on Sam Dente's single. BROWNS IN WIN COLUMN Another seven-game losing streak was broken when the St. Louis Browns shaded the Detroit Tigers, 4-3 in 12 innings. Vern (Junior) Stephens had a big batting day for the Boston Red Sox in a 10-6 romp over the Phila- delphia A's. Stephens hit two homers and a single, driving in tive runs, National League day action was featured by the New York Giants’ 11-8 win over Brooklyn in a wild contest at the Polo Grounds. Johnny Vander Meer fell victim of an old ailment—wildness—which Chicago’s Cubs turned into a six- run rally and an 8-3 victory over Cincinnati.’ LEADERS IN B. B.
