THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1951 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA SP ¥ o RAINIERS TIE OAKS FOR 3RD SPOTINP.C.L. By Associated Press Sacramento still leads Portland by one game in the Pacific Coast League pennant race today and the gent largely responsible is a 35- year-old North Carolinan named Ralph Hodgin. Hodgin, who milks living in the off season, made hay o the plate for the front running Sacs last night. He slammed out three hits and drove in five runs with the big blow coming in the 10th inning when he drilled a two- run homer to finish the game. Sacramento won it, 7-4, after suc- cumbing to Portland by 1-0 in the first half of the doubleheader on the strength of a four-hit performance by the Beavers’ pitching mainstay Roy Helser. Wednesday produced gther heroes. too, notably Dario Lodigiani — his single in the 11th gave lowly San Francisco a 5-4 triumph over Oakland. George Schmees — he lambasted a two run homer in the eighth inn- ing and supplied Hollywood Stars with a 6-4 conquest of Los Angeles The defeat dropped the Angels to fifth, behind Seattle. Joe Montalvo — he drove in three runs in behalf of the Seattle Rain- jers ‘while his battery mate, Pitcher Jim Davis, turned in a seven hitter to subdue the San Diego Padres 9-2. The victory boosted Seattle into ‘a tie with Oakland in third place only a game behind Portland. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L.

N, X —— — - -— ~ ) CARDINALS USING RELIEF HURLERS T0 CINCH GAMES By Associated Press Marty Marion has eliminated the ste system on the St. Louis Card- inal staff. No reliefers, No starters. Just 10 pitchers, Everybody - works every day if needed. So far it has worked. In 32 games, Marion has used a total of 80 pitch- ers. Only 11 starters of his flu- stricken staff have gone the route. i a only pace. Some managers spend 25 years in he business and never learn when to yank a pitcher. Marjon seems to have mastered it in his freshman year. In recent games Marion had the Midas touch with pitchers. Take esterday’s 6-5 win over Boston, for example. He used three reliefers. The second one, Tom Poholsky,| rolled along, pitching shutout ball until the ninth. With one run in, and men on first and third, Marion yanked Poholsky and called on Ted Wilks. Wilks struck out Roy Harts- field but gave up a run when Nippy Jones fumbled a grounder. Marion called for Max Lanier to pitch to lefthand-hitting Ear] Torg- eéson. It worked. Torgy flied to Stan Musial for the final out. Heads Ruth’s Record But Marion’s magic may be lost in the shuffle if that Brooklyn gang continues to pound those home runs. Gil Hodges hit No. 14, three ahead of Babe Ruth’s record pace in 1927, and Bill Cox hammered one with, the bases loaded last night in the Dodgers’ 11-4 romp over Pittsburgh. The victory wound up a success= ful Dodger road trip through n:u-i second-place tie with Chicago, 21, games off the Brooklyn West. They came home with a 2 | game lead. Even Newcombe lasted | all the way for his fourth win. Sal Maglie skirted 10 Chicago hits for his sixth straight victory for | the New York Giants, 2-1, on the strength of Monte Irvin's two-run homer off Paul Minner in the fourth. Konstanty Routed Cincinnati routed Jim Konstanty in the 10th for a 4-3 edge after the Phils’ Dick Sisler hit a homer in the top of the inning. The Boston Red Sox slugged the | battered St. Louis Brownies, 12-0, with Mel Parnell throwing a four- | hit shutout. Every Sox starter ex- i cept Ted Williams hit safely in the 16-hit barrage. Williams walked five times. % Vern Stephens, who tied an Amer- | jcan League record with 10 assists at third base, had three Boston hits. So did Lou Boudreau. Rain probably saved the league- | leading New York Yankees for they trailed Detroit, 7-3, when washed out after three innings. Bad weather also washed out night games between Cleveland and Washington and Chicago and Phil- adelphia.
