Slraight Year (By the Associated Press Vern Bickford's no-hitter ster- day, first in the majors since 1948, may be the spark to ignite another pennant fire in Boston. He beat Brooklyn, 7-0 Bickford, once No. Johnny Sain and Warren Spahn hold his own with the best giving Billy Southworth a strong 1-2-3 pitching punch. The Bickford story is familiar. How the Braves won him on the flip of a coin while dividing some Indi- anapolis farm hands with Pitts- burgh. This, of course, was his best major league game. Walking only four the 29-year-old righthander allowed but one man to reach second base Brooklyn, whose Rex Barney pitched the last previous no-hitter against New York, Sept. 9, 1948, was the victim. Carrying a 7-0 lead into the ninth last night, Bickford wavered mo- mentarily. He walked pinch hitter Jim Russeli. After retiring Pee Wee Reese, he walked Gene Hermanski. Russell thus became the first Dodger to reach second base. After Duke Snider curled a long foul drive into the leftfield corner, he rapped a double play ball to shortstop Buddy Kerr to end the game. Clip Phil's Lead The Braves clipped a fuil game off the Phils’ lead when New York’s Sal Maglie knocked off the pace setters, 3-1. Al Dark’s two-run homer and an inning of wildness by soldier Curt Simmons gave the Giants their 18th win in their last 21 games. Ewell Blackwell, flashing his 1947 form, held the Cardinals to four hits and left them in fourth place, 6. games behind the Phils. The leAn Cincinnati righthander was helped to a 5 to 2 victory by Ted Kluszewski, who slugged (wo doubles and a single. 3 man behind can | l Elks for Third By bunching half of their runs in one big inning last night the Elks team won the Gastineau Channel Baseball League trophy for the third consecutive year as they pounded Coast Guard pitcher Wilber for 13 good for 12 runs while the i ran seven hits into 10 tallies. t night’s win made it two in a row for the E in a three game series with the Guard thereby elim inating the necessity of playing Sunday’s game. ¥ In winning the two games the El cored a total of 25 runs while the Guard totaled 20. The Elks made 29 hits, two of them homers, with the Guard getting 19 hits for their 20 runs. The Elks started the scoring last night by pushing in Manning and Forsythe in the top of the first. In the top of the third they pushed in Houston, Forsythe and Snow on a homer by Snow that cleared the right field fence. Forsythe again came home when Snow hit a double in the fifth. hits !

The Guard’s big third inning saw Scott, Arnold, Tibbitts, Peterson and Wil- { ber score on a double, two singles. three errors, and a walk.

Everybody fattened up on second division clubs in the Ameri- can except Detroit and Boston. The Tigers were held to a doubleheader split at St. Louis and lost ground all around. Detroit In ‘Win Dizzy Trout bested Ned Garver for a Detroit win in the 4-3 opener when Don Lenhardt dropped a throw on a possible double play ball in the 10th inning. Outfielder Kenwood cut down to consecutive runners at the plate in the second game, won by the Browns | XIn the seventh inning, Shepard | follows: 2-1. Although he held St. Louis to five hits, Hank Borowy lost his first start at a Tiger. Cleveland moved to within three games of Detroit by shoving across two runs in the ninth to edge Chi- cago, 3-2. Ray Boone's single drove home Allied Clark with the winning run for Mike Garcia. Joe DiMaggio rode the bench for the first time in his career and his sub, Cliff Mapes, hit a seventh in- ning homer that gave New York a 7-6 edge over Philadelphia. The Yankee clipper was benched by Manager Casey Stengel who said he was “dead tired.” DiMaggio has missed many games because of in- Jjuries but this was his first bench- ing.
