HAL NEWHOUSER, DON NEWCOMBE PITCH IN WINS By JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sportswriter) If Hal Newhouser and Don New- combe have sore shoulders, there are a flock of strong-armed, healthy looking hurlers who would like to have some of the same. Nothing appeared to be wronz with either of the pitching aces yes- terday as each turned in a fine per- formance in a winning etfort. Newhouser kept the Washington Senators to eight hits in pitching the Tigers to a 5-1 triumph. New- combe gave similar eight-hit ex- hibition against the Cincinnati Reds as the Brooklyn Dodgers won by the identical 5-1 score Both hurlers were plagued by ail- ing arms all spring. Each traced l\isl misfortune to an aching shoulder | muscle. Newhouser lasted only three innings against the St. Louis Browns in his only other appearance ot the season. Newcombe was knocked out of the box in his first three starts betore Manager Burt Shotton decided to give his Negro righthander a 10- day rest. Don came back to pitch a strong game against the St. Louls Cardinals last week, but the jury was still out. The critics wanted to see how he fared in his next outing. | They saw plenty last night. The 6-3'2 Newcombe struck out seven batters, four of the strikeouts com- ing after the Reds had scored their lone run in the eighth. The victory increased the Dodgers first place lead over Philadelphia in the National League pennant race to a full game. The Phils were one of the six clubs in the loop to enjoy an off day. Newhouser had a six-hit shutout going into the ninth. Dick Kryhoski and Johnny Lipon led an 11-hit attack on Ray Scar- borough and Mickey Harris. Scarborough, the loser, plwched even though he was notified a couple of hours before game time that his father had died at Mt. Gilead, N.C. The righthander left immediately after the game. Vic Raschi of the New York Yan- kees, pitched a strong game in subduing the Cleveland Indians, 7-2. Raschi, who missed his last turn because of an elbow injury, al- lowed the Indians only five hits in registering his fourth triumph against two losses. Vern Stephens rapped two home runs for Boston but it was not enough to stop the Chicago White Sox from defeating the Red Sox, 10-9, in 10 innings. Stephens’ second homer and his eighth of the season, came in the top of the 10th with a man on and put Boston in front, 9-7. The White Sox, however, came back with ‘three in their half of the 10. A pinch single by Eddie Malone scored Jim Busby with the winning run. Philadelphia’s Athletics and St. Louis’ Browns were idle.
