FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1951 COAST GUARD IN FIFTH WIN; ELKS LOSE TIGHT GAME In the tighest game of the season that was strictly a pitchers’ duel, the Elks were defeated last night 4 to 2 in their fourth straight game by the Coast Guard. On an overthrow from McClellan to Houston, Morrison scored in the last of the first for the first CG score. Floberg's single to right field scored Cope and Scott. Snow took revenge for one score in the second with his first home Tun of the game. No one was on base. The Elks ended the inning with two men on base. Coming back in the fourth, Snow worked his second homer over cen- ter field with no one on, Both times he was the first man up. The fourth score for the CG was tallied in the fourth on an error. With Wilber's fly to center field muffed, Kane scored from first, Wil- ber stretched the error to third base and would have come on home if his ankle, hurt in a previous game, had been in better shape. The surprise play of the game came in the last of the sixth with Snow making a double play unas- sisted. Catching Niece's fly, Snow dropped back on to first base to catch Kane. The Elks had chances in the last two innings to tie up the game. With a man on first and second in the sixth frame, the last two at bat struck out. Again in the seventh there were runners on, this time on second and third. One man struck out, another put out at third and the third out was made at first.

The shutout belonged to Ben Wade of the Hollywood Stars, who chucked a six hitter in blanking San Francisco, 2-0. It was the first loss in five starts for the last place Seals.

Paul Rich?rds has a new trick| avery day in’ the greatest slight-of- | hand job since Thurston sawed his | ast woman in two. And the end is 20t in sight. You wouldn't be too surprised if he pitched Catcher Gus Niarhos against the Yankees and 10t away with it. He yanked Dorish out of the hat yesterday — his first start after nine turns in the bullpent. But what need has Richards for a bullpen? His starters go the route every day This was the Sox' 24th complete pitching job. Dorish first cluttered up the boyx scores at Boston in 1947. Last yea: the St. Louis Browns grabbed hin for $10,000. As a reward for a 6.9¢ earned run average even the Brown ies let him go. He was on the To- ronto roster when the White So: drafted him. Dorish’s neat five-hitter againsi ‘Washington, 5-0, was Chicago's sixtl shutout and 20th win in the last 22 stars. No wonder they lead the American League by a robust 4% game margin. Nine Hit Attack The Sox confused the Senators with their amazing speed and dar- ing behind a nine-hit attack. Steal- ing three bases in six attempts, they gave Julio Moreno, Joe Haynes and Sandy Consuegra the jitters. It was the Sox' sixth straight on their new string The Yankees barely averted an- other disaster in St. Louis, rally- ing with three in the ninth to pull out a 7-5 decision. The result left the world champs 4. games behind Chicago as they move into Comiskey Park for a four-game set. Bobby Brown’s double tied the score in the ninth and Ralph Houk ! won it with a two-run single. Boston Beats Detroit Boston snapped its five-game los- | ing streak at Detroit, 5-3, as Dom DiMaggio kept his 27-game hitting streak alive and won the game with lone blow. Dom singled to left with | the bases full and the score tied 'm the eighth to hang the loss on Ted Gray. Big Luke Easter led Cleveland ! back on the win path after two de- feats with a three-run homer for a; 6-3 edge over Philadelphia. While the star-dusted White Sox stole the headlines, Brooklyn quietly p)led up a 6'2 game lead in the Na- tional. At the rate they're going they may sew it up by Labor Day. No waiver pitchers. No unknowns busting down fences. Just the same professionals who did it in '47 and | '49 may do it again. Preacher Roe, the Brook’s meal ticket, skinned home with another one-run win, 2-1, over St. Louis. It was his eighth straight of an un- beanten season and fifth by one run The enterprising Cincinnati Reds knocked off New York again, 3-4, to move into a second place tie with St. Louis. Bubba Chureh pitched the Phll” to a 7-1 romp over Chicago. Vern Bickford kept six Pittsburgh hits scattered in earning his eighth win for the Boston Braves, 5-0.
