| MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1950 | e ——4-—- BRAVES IN 60OD FORM, NAT. LEAGUE it By JOE FZICHLER (Associated Press Sprotswriter) Give ' the Boston 'Nationals an- other reliable starting pitcher and you can start making World Series reservations at Braves’ Field foi next October. Five games may not be a true |; standard, but they've given the fol- Jowing indications: 1. The rebuilt Braves boast one of the hardest hitting clubfi in the National League. 2. The outfield is the best since Manager Billy Southworth took over five years ago. 3. Pitcher Johnny Sain, ace ol the 1948 championship squad, del- initely is on the comeback road after a poor '49 season. 4. First baseman Earl Torgeson out most of last year with a shoulder separation, is fully mended. 5. The big winter deal that brought outfielders Sid Gordon, Wii Marshall and shortstop Buddy Ker: in exchange for infielders Eddic Stanky and Alvin Dark has im- proved the club at least 25 percent. 6. Del Crandall, 20-year-old soph- omore catcher, appears headed fur greatness. The Braves lost their first game of the infant season yesterday whe: they bowed, to Philadelphia, 6-5 after winning the first game of the doubleheader, 4-3. The opening game triumph was their fourth of the campaign. . Rain Washes Out Games The split dropped the Braves into third place. Chicago’s surprising Cubs, rained out of their game wiul St. Louis, remained on top with ¢ 3-0 rating. Rain also washed out the Brooklyn-New York Gian% game. In the only other National League activity, Pittsburgh ran up its fifth straight triumph, van quishing the winless Cincinnat Reds, 5-3. Chicago’s White Sox handed De- troit its first defeat of the season 5-4. It was the Sox first victory in five starts. The Tigers had won four straight. The Boston Red Sox and Phila- delphia Athletics divided a double- header. The A’s won the opener, 9-4, and the Sox came back to take the nightcap, 12-2. The game | was halted after six innings because of darkness. Cleveland swept both ends of a twin bill from the St. Louis Browns, g 9-6 and 7-5. The Braves lost the second game to Philadelphia because Johnny Antonelli, Southworth’s hope for the fourth starting berth, failed to get by the first inning. Four hits pro- duced two Philadelphia runs and brought in Norman Roy. The Braves managed to come from behind, tak- ing a temporary 5-4 lead on Sid ‘Gordon’s home run in the fifth. The Phils, however, tied the count in the seveéhth and won in the eighth when Willie Jones scored Ed Wait- kus from third with a long fly. B.B.SARS Stars . of major league games played Sunday are as follows: Batting — Ken Wood, Browns: Hit two homers, driving in all St Louis’ runs, as Browns lost opener to Cleveland, 9-6.

Since| the campaign started four weeks |y ago, 14 contests have gone into over- | time. The first game Sunday ran 19/ innings, with the Angels topping 1t off with a four run assault on the| Padres and winning 11 to 10. Clar- ence Maddern and Les Layton ‘aunched the uprising with two bag- gers. The nigntcap, scheduled for seven innings, lasted for nine. The Padres won it, 3 to 2. The Hollywood Stars took both zames from the Seattle Rainiers and the first encounter also went into extra innings. Seattle snap- ped out of its usual lethargy long snough to tie up the opener in the ninth frame, but the rally died witix the bases loaded. Hollywood won in the tenth, 4 to 3, on a single by Frank Kelleher. The abbreviated afterpiece also was decided in Che last inning, Herb Gorman’s single winning it, 1 to 0. Lee Anthony chucked the ghutout. Hde allowed three hits. It was Seattle’s 14th defeat in 16 games At Oakland, the Acorns advanced to fourth place by dumping Port- land twice, 6 to 5 and 10 to 1.
