THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1950 FOUR-CLUB BATILE IN AMER. LEAG. i (By the Associated Press) ' Sad iSam Zoldak, ticketed for San Diego |ini ' May, has pitéhéd Cleve- land to within 1'% games of the American League lead with three relief wins in a week. They actually handed . Zoldak carfare to the Pacific Coast League on cut-down day. At the last min ute, Hank Greenberg, Tribe genera manager, changed his mind. Johnny Berardino, veteran infielder, went to San Diego instead of Sam. Hank never will be sorry. Zoldak helped Manager Lou Boudreau’s staff all season. But up to last Thursday he had only a 1-1 record. Five brilliant relief innings at Philadelphia, July 20, started him on the way. Saturday night at ‘Washington, he picked up anothe: victory, rescuing Early Wynn. When Mike Garcia was knockeq out of the box in the third, inning of last.night's game with the A's Zoldak came in. He held Philadel- phia to two hits the rest of the way for a §-2 decision. Four-Club Battle Cleveland’s surge is only one fac- tor of a developing situation that has ti me American League race in {four-club battle. ‘With Detroit’s;lead thed to a half game over the'New' York' Yankees, Cleve- land coming strong and the revived Boston Red Sox on the march, any- thing can happen. The Red Sox made it two straight over Detroit yesterday, 1-0, on Bobby Doerr’s home run and Mel Parnell’s five-hit pitching. It was the fifth loss in the last six starts for the Tigers. Parnell, a 25-game winner last year, went the route for the first time since July 1. Art Houtteman was the losing pitcher. Joe DiMaggio, making a late sum- mer comeback, slugged a two-run homer to help the Yanks whip St. Louis, 6-3. Rain postponed the Washington at Chicago game in the third in- ning. Phillies Increase Lead The Phillies scored six runs.in the sixth inning against Chicago to in- crease their National League lead to 1'% games with a 6-4 win. Walt Dubiel took a 4-0 edge into the sixth but blew the game with six walks and two hits. Five of the walks were in succession, only one short of the National League re- cord. Carmen Mauro’s double and Hank Sauer’s single off Russ Meyer broke a string of 27 scoreless inningsl for the Cubs in the first. Brooklyn clinched the season series with St. Louis, with a 7-5 triumph that made it 12 out of 17 this year. Switch hitter Jim Russell hit two homers, one righthanded and one lefthanded, to lead the Brooks. I Stan Musial hit safely in his 30th straight game with a double and a | single off winner Don Newcombe,\ who hasn't lost to St. Louis all year. Pittsburgh teed off on Vern Bick- ford and Bob Hogue for 13 hits,; in- cluding homers by Wally Westlake and Ray Mueller, to thump the Bos- ton Braves, 8-4. Sal) Maglie ' pitthed and batted the New Yok 'Giants to their sev- enth (stthight {win, 3-2, over Cin- cinnati. Maglie singled off Howie Fox to score Al Dark with the tie- breaking run in the seventh. RAINIERS IN SPLIT GAMES WITH 0AKS Beavers Upend Hollywood Twice — Other Up- heavals in PCL (By the Associated Press) The Portland Beavers aren't going any place in particular, but they're me of the Pacific Coast League's reskiest spoilers. The bumptious Beavers nupended Tollywood twice last night, 5-1 and 3-0, to drop the fading Stars six rames behind pace-setting Oakland. The Oaks split with Seattle, win- ihg 4-0 before absorbing an 8-2 Jasting. San Francisco, driving for a first livision, post, advanced to within v game and a half of fourth place )y edging Saeramento, 6-4. San Jiego, in the third shutout of the 1ght, blanked Los Angeles, 2-0. Portland combined crackerjack Jitching by Bob Drilling and Jack .Jreel with timely slugging by Joe 3rovia and Mickey Rocco for its win win. Drilling scattered six hits n the seven-inning opener as Brovia asted his 23rd and 24th homers. Jreel tossed a five-hit shutout to sest Herb Karpel of the Stars. Rocco’s two-run single with the bags oaded in the eighth was the game- reaker. Oakland’s whitewash even inning, three-hit job stint was a by dank Behrman which snapped thel ix-game winning streak of Seattle’s iuy Fletcher. The Rainiers bounced back be- | und Charley Schanz in the after- siece, however, ‘putting five runs cross in a decisive third inning out- urst. Al Lyons’ homer with ome on limaxed the big frame. Seattle julled a triple steal in the mgh!h vith Lyons sliding across the plate or the final run. San Diego’s calsomine specialist vas Al Olsen, who came through un- cathed despite yielding 10 oser. Marino has given up only hree runs in the last 24 inning: wo of them unearned, and still h been charged with three straight defeats. Olsen left 12 Angels stranded on base and twice set the side down after the bags were loaded with no- | body out. an Francisco had to come from behind to nip Sacramento. The Seals scored all their six runs in the eighth. Matt Surkont, up to that point, had allowed only one hit.

Frisch answered the jockeys who booed and howled him because he didn’t take Dubiel out for a pinch hitter. Frisch said he permitted | Dubiel to work out of his own jam so that Frisch could find out “if| Cubs’ pitchers have to have a lan-| tern on the plate to find out where it is located.” Attention Derby Fishermen Get your thermos bottles filled at the Rebekah’s Counter, Dona-| hue’s Float, Tee Harbor.
