Rivera, 29-year-old outfielder of the Browns, has collected only i3 hits in 66 trips for a lack-luster -197 average. Rivera has ridden the bench of late but was let out Thursday and came through with a game-winning homer against Philadelphia. Mizell, the gangling lefthander of the Cardinals, has been the victim of the “big inning.” The youngster, hailed as a “lefthanded Dizzy Dean,” sails along in fine style, then suddenly seems to lose his stuff. He blew up again Friday night, Cincinnati beat St. Louis, 8-3. The prize pitching prospect lost his major league debut to Ken Raffensberger and Cincinnati, 2-1, when Joe Adcock socked a 2-run triple in the first inning. The next time out Mizell had Chicago beaten 3-2, going into the eighth inning when he blew up and yielded four runs to be charged with a 6-3 loss. Mizell won his third start, 3-2, with a neat 4-hitter over Phila- | delphia. The kid had the Reds eating out of his hand Friday night until the | seventh inning when he blew sky high and was tagged for seven runs. Adcock ruined Mizell again, this time with a 3-run homer. The Chicago Cubs’ scheduled game with Pittsburgh was post- poned hecause of cold weather. The remaining National League from the Boston Red Sox without lifting a bat. The Indians, idled by_rain, moved a half-game ahead ed Sox dropped a 7-4 de- cision to the New York Yankees. The Indians had been scheduled to play St. Louis’ Browns. Veterans Johnny Sain and Bobby Hogue, former Boston Brave sta- blemates, teamed up to stop the Red Sox. Sain drove in three runs on a homer and dquble before he left at the end of the seventh | inning. Sain was struck on the right | kneecap by a liner from the bat |of Billy Goodman in the second inning and was forced to retire | after his knee stiffened. The Chicago White Sox won th | longst game of the season as they defeated the Detroit Tigers, 8-5, in | 16 innings at Detroit. Minnie Mino- so tripled home two runs in the 16th and scored the third on Ed Robinson's single, The three runs were uneorned as they were set up by Johnny Lipon’s error. Little Bobby Shantz pitched the Philadelphia Athletics to a 9-3 vic- | tory over the Washington Senators in the only American League night game.
