TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1950 uosz m 1S SEEN IN AMER. LEAG. (By Associated Press) So you thought those recent two- team dead heats in the American National Leagues were hot stuff? Pooh’ they were just routine fin- ishes conipared to what may happen this year. For those who are looking for real, honest-to-goodness, spine- tingling excitement, how about a four-way deadlock for first place? Don't scoff. It could happen. The way the American League race has been moving along it wouldn’t cause too much of a surprise should De- troit, New York, Cleveland and Bos- ton wind up all even on the evening of Oct. 1—the regular season’s fin- al day. Get a close-up of the last two days of the campaign. The Tigers will be host to the Indians on Saturday, Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 1. The same two afternoons, the Red Sox will tangle with the Yankees in Bos- ton. Here is the picture today: Detroit is on the top with 34 games left to play. New York is se- cond, one game behind, with 32 left to play. Cleveland is third, one game behind New York, with 30 to play. Boston is fourth, one game be- hind Cleveland, also with 30 to go. Boston was the only one of the big four to win yesterday. The Red Sox came from a mile behind to outlast the Indians, 15-14. Detroit bowed to Philadelphia’s oft-beaten Athletics, 4-3. The Chicago Whitc Sox upset the Yankees, 6-4. Singularly, only one homer was among the collection of 30 base hits in the Sox-Indians’ affair. But that was the big one. It was hit by Al Zarilla to provide Boston with its final run. Bob Feller, third of four Cleveland pitchers, was the loser. Outfielder Sam Chapman, who batted the A’s to victory over the Tigers Sunday, did it again yester- day. His double in the sixth scored Philadelphia’s third and fourth runs. Ray Scarborough’s six hit pitch- ing plus a two-run homer by out- fielder Gus Zernial kept the Yank- des from a virtual tie for first place. Philadelphia’s Phillies increased :HI"ER IS COMING UP FORP.C.L. (By Associated Press) Frankie Baumholtz, the hustling Los Angeles outfielder, has a real chance to become the Pacific Coast League's first 400 hitter since 1933. The former National Leaguer boasts a .394 mark today as the seventh-place Angels tackle third- place Hollywcod in a series that isn't too important except for pos- sibly answering the query: Can Baumbholtz maintain his hot pace? Oscar Eckhardt—with a league record .4l4—was the last Coast Leaguer to hit for the coveted .400 mark. Two years later, in 1935, old Os just missed with .399. Ir Frankig continues his belting of last week—16 for 29 and a .552 average against League-leading Oak- land—he should be crowding or go sver 400 by week's end. ‘The Oaks will try to extend their 5'% game lead at the expense of the Seals from across the bay in San Francisco. Runner-up San Diego plays eight games at Portland with a good chance to make some hay. The Padres hold a 14-6 season’s edge over the Beavers. The remaining series puts Seattle at Sacramento, where Walter Mc- Coy, new Solon Negro pitcher, makes his bow.

SEASONS FOR HUNTING OF DUCKS GIVEN Regulaiions_A_re Signed by, Presidernt-Sportsmen on Coast Get Break By Vern Haugland WASHINGTON, Aug. 29—/#—FPre- sident Truman signed the annual duck-hunting regulations today— and gave Pacific Coast spolt»,men a break. The 1950 rules lengthened the duck lmnl.mg season in the Pacific flyway— est coast states and Idaho, Utah Nevada and Arizona— by five days, and increased the daily ( bag limit.
