WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, DETROIT TIGERS KEEPING AT TOP, AMERICAN LEAGUE (By the Associated Press) The sensational stickwork of Vic Wertz is keeping the Detroit Tigers at! the top in the, pulse-pounding Atherican League pennant race. If Wertz hadn’t picked this week toi go on a .764 batting tear, the Tigers might be deep down in third place today instead of leading the field by, one full game. His big bat has persomally accounted for four Détroit triumphs in the Tigers’ cur- rent home' stand. Tommy Byrne, an old Tiger Tamer, found the feat impossible last night. As a rgsult the southpaw lost his first game of the, season to the Tigers, who went on to whip the New York Yankees, 7-3, in the first of an all-important three-game series. Wertz hammered two home runs and drew a walk in four times at bat, to drive in three runs. The pair of four-baggers gave the 200- pound outfielder seven homers in five consecutive games. That tied a record set by Babe Ruth in 1921 and nq\mlleg.?y Jim Bottomley of, the St. Leouis Cardinals in 1929. Dizzy Trout, a last minute pitch- ing. . replacement for ailing Art Houtteman, turned jn a masterful job"in turning back the Yankees with six hits. He was behind only onde when he servéd a two-run homer to Johnny Mize in the sixth. Cleveland’s third place Indians shat tq.within a game of second when they defeated Washington, 8-2. Jim Hegan paccd the Tribe's 11-hit attack with a double, triple and home run. ‘The fourth place Boston Red Sox cdntinued their domination over the 1950 [ | | | | | 6-4, and losing the second, 4-1. The Cardinals regained second! place, three games off the pace, thrashing the Boston Braves, 6-1. Rookie righthander Cloyd Boyer | spaced six hits for his fourth Cardi- nal triumph. Boston’s Earl Torge- son’s consecutive hitting streak was snapped at 22 games. Del Ennis smashed his fifth homer in six games and drove in two more tallies with a single to pace the Phils to their first game triumph as Bob Miller notched his 10th win Ewell Blackwell gave the Reds an even break with a four-hitter in the nightcap. Army bound Curt Simmons, who flew in to pitch for Philadelphia after getting a special pass from the National Guard, was knocked out in the fourth inning. He wasj charged with his sixth defeat. He has won 14. It took the Dodgers five weeks to | get their June 24 victory over Pitts- burg in the official records. But they finally did it last night when they concluded the suspended game prior to playing cheir regularly | scheduled one. | Erv Palica silowed enly five hn.,\' in the regular game | The scheduled game between the | New York Giants and Chicago Cubs was postponed by rain. 'MARINO IS WINNER, WORLD FLYWEIGHTS HONOLULU, Aug. 2—(®—Dadc Marino, an old man of 34 in the ring, today owns the world flyweight title that had eluded him for years. The Hawaiian-born Filipino won a close but unanimous decision last night over London’s Terry Allen in 15 bruising rounds. Marino weighed 112 pounds, Allen 111%. “The first punch he hit me with, I knew I could win,” Marino said in ACORNS BOOSTING | Oakland’s triumphant surge ahead | ¢ of the Pacific Coast League pack|" is not just a matter of power.

Ben Wade, Hollywood right hander, limited the Rainiers to five hits. No Seattle baserunner reached ! third and Wade granted only one safety in the last five innings. Vern Kindsfather was the loser.
