' Al Widmar in the opener, hiiting a FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1950 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA 7~ PAGE THREE BOSTON SOX IS DRUBBED BY DETROIT (By the Assoclated Eress) Red Rolfe’s Detroit Tigers ripped Park the sheets off the.Fenway “Bogie Man.” And they did it with- out Hal Newhouser. All Detroit pennant talk has been tempered with the big question: “Can they beat the Sox in Boston? The answer obviously is “yes.” They did it yesterday—twice. the first game by a rollicking 13-4 score and later a 5-3 squeaker with the help of damaging errors by Ted Williams and Walt Dropo. Failure to: beat Boston' cost the Tigers & shot at the 1949 pennant. In fact, they have won only 14 of 44 games with the Red Sox home| and away in the last two s0ns. Fenway was the real jinx, In their home park, the Sox smothered the | ‘Tigers nine games out of 11 in both 1948 and 1949. One series, of course, doesn’t de- cide a pennant in May, but Detroit’s success “in- Boston sheds a warm glow on the Tiger hopes. In the East, Rolfe’s Tigers won six of eight, losing one each in New | York and Boston. That's .750 ball onl the road. Joe Dobson just didn’t have it and Freddie Hutchinson did in the} In 13-4 first game. Hutchinson had a three<hit shutout until Ted Wil- liams hit his eighth homer, with the bases loaded, in the eighth inning. All of Ted’s home runs have been hit at Fenway. ¢ Those Two Errors Thanks to Clyde Vollmer's two- yun round-tripper, Ellis Kinder rode into the eighth inning of the sec- ond game with a fancy shutout. Then Williams let him down. With the bases full, Williams let Vic ‘Wertz' single skid past him for an error and three runs scored. Dick Kryhoski’s ;homer and an error by ‘Walt Dropo provided two more De- troit runs in the ninth. Dropo’s four bagger in the home half was just a futile gesture. New York took advantage of a aduble shot at the wobbly St. Louis Browns to win a pair, 5-1 and 6-5. As a result, the Yanks now are se ond and the Brownies nurse a bud- ding six-game losing streak. Cliff Mapes lewered the boom on homer with two on that broke a 1-1 tie. It was Widmar’s first start of the season. Washington crowded within a game and a half of Detroit by | whipping Chicago, 8-5, their mmi straight win. Bob Ortiz hammered home three runs with a triple, double and single. | Work by Boudreau Manager Lou Boudreau took shortstop Lou Boudreau off the: bench and it worked. Lou came across with four hits in Cleveland’s | l Pafko, Chicago, .408. 4-3 edge over innings. Willie Jones helped the Phillies add another half game to their Na- tional League lead. Jones, a red hot | | rival for Ralph Kiner in the home | run derby, hit his seventh homer with two men on the first in-| ning of last night’s 3-2 Phil win| over Pittsburgh Johnny Sain flashed his comeback form against the Cubs with a four- hitter for Boston's 3-0 win. | | The New York at St. Louis night | game and Brooklyn at Cincinnati| day games were rained out. | B.B.S7ARS Stars of games played yesterday in the major baseball leagues are: Batting — Cliff Mapes, Yankees, won first game from Browns with three-run homer, 5-1; routed St.| Louis started with two triples in 6-5 | econd game win.

Chandler's lap today, with the career of the temperamental out- fielder in the balance. ‘The New York Yankees suspended the 29-year-old flychaser without pay yesterday shortly after they had been ordered to take him back in the deal with the Chicago White Sox that didn’t jell. ‘Wakefield, in Ann Arbor, Mich,, said he'd give George Weiss, gen- eral manager of the Yankees, “48 hours to talk it over with me as & gentleman.” GAMES TODAY BOSTON, May 12—(#—Boston's Red Sox returned to a winning stride today by defeating the Sena- tors 3-1, and moving ahead of the Washington club into third place in the Americam League. Maurice Mc- Dermott limited the Nats to five hits in winning his third game against one defeat. Ted Williams went hitless against Washington’s Ray Scarborough, breaking a I2- game streak. Two night games, only others heduled in the American League CHICAGO, May 12 — (® — The Chicago Cubs, routing Hal Gregg with a five run explosion in the third inning, clung grimly to the lead thereafter to defeat the Pitts- burg Pirates, 6 to 3, today in the opener of a four game series. Pres- ton Ward and Andy Pafko each wal- loped two run homers in the big inning. Bob Rush went the route for the Cubs for his third victory.

Until two , nobody ever compared Garriott, the squatty Los Angeles outfielder, to a bolt of lightning. But G ott struck twice in the same place—and connected both times. . Last night he broke up a 12-in- aing pitchers’ duel with the single that gave the Angels a 2 to 1 triumph over Hollywood. The night before he beat the Twinks with ¢ 1nth inning (riple. His latest victiin was rookie Ber Wade, who fanned 11 and held the 3eraphs at bay until the 12th. Then Nels Burb nicked him for & single. His rival in the duel, Ca McLish, got another. And Garr.ott, the spoiler, stepped up to finish it. In posting his sixth triumph of he season, McLish scattéred seven aits, struck out five. Seattle Dumpel San Diego dumped Seattle in an- sther “overtime affair, 3 to 2. As n the Hollywood game, two were out when Mr. Nielsen cracked a sharp single through first base to send Bobby Wilson home from sec- ond with the winning run in the 10th. Wilson got aboard with a single, then stole second to set it up. The loser was Guy Fletcher who went the route for the Rainiers. No less spectacular were the performances of Sacramento’s Herman Reich and San Francisco’s Les Fleming. Reich boomed one out of the park with the bases loaded to pace Sacramento to a 10 to 0 victory over Portland. Fleming, the hefty first baseman with the Texas accent, belted his 10th homer of the season as the Seals drubbed Oakland, 12 to 6. The clout, Fleming's third in two days, came in San Francisco’s four run eighth inning with one man on. The conquest put the Seals back !
