RAINIER!
LOSE OUT
TO SOLONS
(By Associated Press)
Oakland's pitching is beginning
to look a little frayed at the edges,
but as long as the hitters continue
to pound the ball, boss Charlie Dres
sen can manage a smile. His club
was five games ahead of the pack
today, even though it was all out last
night to beat San Francisco, 10-8.
San Diego, getting hotter on the
trail in recent weeks, finally slip
ped a cog after beating Portland
three straight. The Beavers put
across two runs in the eighth for a
5 to 3 victory.
Sacramento downed Seattle, 2 to
0, and Hollywood edged Los Angeles,
£ to 4, in the other game.
Oakland combed San Francisco’s
Steve Nagy and Con Dempsey for
10 early inning runs, but just bare
tj ly managed to salvage the game as
Joe Grace clubbed a homer in the
ninth for the Seals with one on.
!.* Hollywood’s stars came out of a
1 i five-game losing streak and a string
<) of 34 consecutive scoreless innings
t as pinch hitter Frankie Kelleher
' j pounded one of Ralph Hamner’s
pitches over the left field wall. Los
fj Angeles had gotten away to a, 2-0
y lead. The winning run came in the
•! seventh as outfielder Eddie Sauer
I, stole home.
■’ Sacramento's Orv Grove granted
Seattle only three hits as he pitch
ed one of his best games this year.
It was his 15th victory. He fanned
eight, walked only one batter, and
did not permit a Seattle runner past
first base.
Portland’s Joe Brioria clubbed his
31st homer of the year in the first
inning at Portland.

YANKS TAKE
TWO-GAME
LEAD NOW
(By Associated Press)
In the American League, Detroit’s
stumbling Tigers blew a 2-1 game
to Washington and dropped two
games behind the American League
leaders, the New York Yankees, vic
torious over Cleveland, 7-5.
The American League battle saw
Boston’s blistering Red Sox climb
to within a half game of second
place Detroit with a 4-3 decision
over the Chicago White Sox. It
was the Beantown band's 16th vic
tory in 17 games.
Cleveland, in bowing to the Yanks
and losing the entire four-game
series, fell five games off the pace.
The Indians are fourth.
Home runs by Johnny Mize, Cliff
Mapes, Yogi Berra and Phil Riz
zuto, contributed to the Indians’
sixth straight loss. They all came
off 20-game winner Bob Lemon.
Tommy Byrne started for the
Yanks and gained his 14th victory
although relieved in the late stages.
The Tigers were victimized by
Gene Bearden, who won his third
game of the season. Art Houtteman
limited the victors to five hits, but
three straight in the third inning
gave Washington both its runs.
Boston’s Clyde Vollmer walked
on four straight balls by Billy Pierce
in the ninth, forcing home the win
ning Red Sox run.
The only other American League
competition saw the Philadelphia
Athletics and the St. Louis Browns
iplit. The Browns won the opener,
4-3, and the A’s the nightcap, 3-2.
In the only other National League
game, the New York Giants squeez
ed out a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh
gaing a tie with the St. Louis Card
inals for fourth place.

Four Homers
In One Game
I
By G. Hodges
BROOKLYN, Sept. 1—i.FI—“I nev
er thought I’d have another chance
when I missed in the seventh,"
Brooklyn’s Gil Hodges said today.
But he did.
In the eighth last night he came
to bat again in the wild game
with Boston at Ebbets Field.
The Braves’ young Johnny Anton
elli served up a curve ball that re
fused to bend, and the 26-year-old
Brooklyn first baseman met it with
the fat of his bat.
The ball soared into the upper
tier of the cozy Brooklyn ball yard
and a crowd of 14-226 rose to its feet
with a roar.
Hodges had done it. He had be
come the sixth player in major
league history to bang four home
runs in a single game.
Eut none did it under such unus
ual circumstances .Hodges powered
his home runs off four different
pitchers and on three different kind
of pitches.
The five other major leaguers with
four home runs in the record book
are Bobby Lowe, 1894 Boston Na
tionals; Ed Delehanty, 1896 Phila
delphia Nationals; Lou 6ehrig,
1932 New York Yankees; Chuck
Klein, 1938 Philadelphia Phillies,
and Pat Seerey, 1948 Chicago White
Sox.
Hodges also equaled the major
league record for total bases in a
game—17. The big slugger came up
six times, singling and grounding
out when he didn't connect for the
circuit, and drove in nine runs.1
Hodges now is even with his entire
1949 output of home runs—23.
B.B. STARS
Here are the stars or yesterday’s
baseball games;
Batting—Gil Hodges, Dodgers,
banged four homers to tie major
league, collected 17 total bases
to tie another major league mark
and drove in nine runs to lead
Brooklyn to a 19-3 victory over Bos
ton.
Pitching—Jim Hearn, Giants, pit
ched New York to 2-1 four-hit vic
tory over Pittsburgh, fanning four
and walking three.
WIL GAMES
Final scores of WIL games played
last night are:
Yakima 9; Tacoma 5.
