TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1950 S P o— - —— e— e~ e e DODGERS IN GREAT PUSH BY PITCHERS (By the Associated Press) 1 What goes with Brooklyn? Is this the big push? Are Burt Shot- ton’s boys ready to take charge? Baseball fans ask these questions today because the sudden turnabout of Dodger pitching has jumbled the National League race. It's only one game from the Phillies in first to the Dodgers in fourth. Last Thursday night, the Brooks trailed by 5% A v«eek ago President Branch Rickey of the Dodgers moaned about the “worst pitching staff col- lapse I've ever seen.” Now his on- rushing Brooks have a budding five- game win streak. Dodger Push On In St. Louis, theyTre convinced the Dodger push is on. So far the Brooks have whipped the Cardinals 11 out of 14, the last seven in a row, including a day-night doubleheader yesterday. Nine “of 14 sirooklyn pitchers to face St. Louis have gone .all the way—Preacher Roe—four times and Don Newcombe three. Roe did it again last night as the Dodgers: crushed Howie Pollet, 7-1, after stumbling to a 6-3 afternoon decision’ for - Dan Bankhead. The Preacher man allowed only five hit for his 11th victory. The double Cardinal loss let the idle Phillies, rained out at Chicago sneak back into first place. Then come St. Louis and Boston tied for second. Rookie Helps Boston Bill Pierro, a rookie from Indiana- polis making his first big league ap- pearance, was well on his way to success when Boston hung up a big five in the ninth and iped Pitts- bugh, 8-6. Pierro wasn't ¢ with ithe loss, That went to H: Borowy who gave up a double to Earl Torgeson and a triple to Sid Gordon after relieving Pierro Jim Hearn, making his first New York start since his purehase fro St. Louis, a'week ago, held Cir cinnati te:four hits in an easy 10 romp. He retired 14 men in order. In American League Detroit - boosted its American LeagQe lead to 4% games by whiy ping the Philadelphia A’s in a tw light-night doubleheader. The run- nerup New York Yankees played only one game, edging Chicago, 4-3. Charley Keller's pinch triple, a pinch single by Freddie Hutchinson and Jerry Priddy timely single helped the Tigers rally with three in the eighth inning of the 8-6 opener. Saul Rogovin, making his third start, went the route for the first time in the 3-1 night game. Yogi Berra and Hank Bauer, a couple of Yankee cripples returning to action, took care of the White Sox. Berra broke a 2-2 tie with a two- run double in the seventh. Joe Dobson, an afternoon loser, came back to win on relief at night as Boston broke even in a day-night doubleheader with Cleveland. Dobson came to the rescue of Maurice McDermott in the night game to win in the 10th, 7-5, after | losing the first 11-6. Third baseman Eddie Yost made a sensational Junging catch of a foul ball to put down a ninth-inning St. Louis threat and save a 3-1| ‘Washington victory. | Seafood — Steak — Chicken Dinners Entertainment — Open all night — | COUNTRY CLUB 56-2t SICKS'.

Roe, Dodgers | | NORTH PCL IS WINNER OVER SOUTH By JIM HUBBART (Associated Press Sportswriter) Seattle Manager Paul Richards is right with the world and with Pa- cific Coast League President Clar- ence Rowland today. His pitching prodigy, Jim Wilson, toiled in the All-S game after all As anticipated, Wilson didn’t pitch much. Only two innings, in fact. But he retired the Southerners in order and—wha more—got credit for the victory as the North won, 9 to 2 Wilson, who chucked seven in- n Diego the day before chalked up his 16th straight ! conquest. Theoretically, that ties Frank Browning's PCL record for consecutive victories set with San Francisco in 1909. Officially, however, has a game to go. He'll get his chance at Hollywood this week, probably on Friday. The Rainiers move into filmville tonight for the Wilson still series headliner. Last night’s ninth annual All-Star contest marked only the second time the north has whipped the south, Tim Tabor, Sacramento’s third baseman, delivered the big punch, a three-run homer in the sixth inning off Los Angeles moundsman Cal McLish. The north's pitching was superb, Matt Surkont, the Sacramento ace, took over Wilson’s shutout in the third inning and maintained it until Oakland’s George Bamberger came on in the sixth. Bill Evans, also of Sacramento, finished up. The quar- ix hits, while the northern batsirvn raked three Ruhr'li | fiingers for 15 The game, cramento, played this time at| drew 6424 customers, | an improvement over some yes but not much. Short score of the game: ner gave the Chicago Cubs a 5 to 2 victory over the Philadelphia Phil- lies today in the first game of a doubleheader.
