Caad THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1949 DODGERS GAIN ON ST. LOUIS By JOE REICHLER on’s cellar-diving Nats, currently the sorriest looking club in the majors, may decide the American League pem)ant race. Through a strange quirk in the schedule, Washington and the third place Boston Red Sox have played only seven games against each other. That means they will meet 15 times this season, eight at Bos- ton’'s Fenway Park. On the other hand, the weary Washingtonians, now three and a half games out of the basement after winning only 12 of their last 50 games, have met the league Jeading New York Yankees 12 times and the second place Cleveland Indians 15 times. Boston holds only a 4-3 edge over Washington, but all three of the Senators' triumphs came early in the season when they were the surprise of the league. The Red Sox advanced to within two and a half games of second and seven games of the leading Yankees yesterday, turning back the Indians, 4-3, before a surpris- ing Monday afternoon turnout of 35,248 paid fans. The victory gave the Red Sox a 3-2 edge in the series. Southpaw Mel Parnell zained his 15th pitching triumph, besting Cleveland’s Bob Lemon with a nine-hitter. Wast The Brooklyn Dodgers shaved St. Louis' first place lead in the Na- tional League to a slender half game last night, shutting out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-0, while the Cardinals were losing 8-1, to the Boston Braves. Ralph Branca, back in limited the Pirates to four hits— three by Ralph Kiner—to register his 12th victory. ‘Warren Spahn, helped by Sauer’s and Bob Elliott's home runs, coasted to his 13th triumph. He limited the Cards to eight hits. A fourth inning homer by Enos Slaughter prevented the southpaw from pitching a shutout. The St. Louis Browns shut out the Senators, 2-0. The New York Giants took un- disputed possession of fourth place in the National League, walloping the Chicago Cubs, 11-3. Other teams were not scheduled. GAMES TODAY CHICAGO, Aug. 2—(—Sheldon Jones allowed only three singles and didn't walk a man as the New York Giants handed the Chicago Cubs their seventh straight defeat, | 3 to 0, today. It was the fifth vics tory in a row for the Giants and the third in a week for Jones. 6US ERIKSEN T0 SYRACUSE CREW COACH POSITION SEATTLE, Aug. 2 — (@ — Gus Eriksen, whose University of Wash- ington freshmen crews have never been defeated, is headed for the top coaching berth at Syracuse University, reliable sources reported today. Eriksen was not -available the next few days. Official confirmation is expected from Syracuse shortly. The Eastern crew position was vacated by Ned Ten Eyck after this He year's Poughkeepsie regatta. had held the post since 1938.
