PHILS KEEP
ON WINNING,
FLAG RACE
(By the Associated Press)
The flying Phillies are a prohibi
tive favorite to win their first flag
in 35 years. Why? Because Manager .
Kddie Sawyer has succeeded where |
most of Philadelphia's 25 previous
pilots have failed.
Sawyer has convinced his men
that they could beat Brooklyn.
That was a feat very few former i
Philadelphia teams could accom
plish. How well the eager, young
Phils have taken the former college
professor’s lectures to heart is at
tested by Philadelphia’s eight
triumphs in 13 clashes with the
Dodgers this season.
Until Sawyer took over as man
ager in the middle of the 1948 sea
son, the Phils had failed to finish
in the first division since 1932.
In his first full season at the helm.
Sawyer saw his team hold the
Brooks even in 22 games. That pro
gressive step was largely respon
sible for Philadelphia's third place
finish in 1949.
This year the Phils have been
ever more potent against the de
fending champions. Last night’s 6-5
decision marked the Phils' sixth win
In their last seven meetings with
the Brooks.
The triumph was the most cov
eted of the season, since it widened
the Phils’ first-place lead over Bos
ton to five games—their biggest lead
thus far.
The St. Lotus Cardinals handed |
the Pittsburgh Pirates their 10th
straight loss, 6-4, while the New
York Giants surprised the Braves,
2-1, for their eighth consecutive vic
tory.
In American League
Boston’s Red Sox made a big gain
in the American League race. They
trounced the New' York Yankees,
7-4, while the Chicago White Sox
were vanquishing the front-running ,
Detroit Tigers, 9-6. The fourth place
Red Sox now are six games behind
the Tigers. Cleveland and St. Louis
were rained out.
Cincinnati’s Reds swept a double
header from Chicago, 10-1 and 9-0,
to climb within a half game of the
sixth-place Cubs. Philadelphia’s
Athletics blanked Washington 5-0,
on Lou Brissie’s two-hitter.
Young Robin Roberts gained his
third straight triumph over the
Brooks this year although he needed
assistance from ace ’ reliever Jim
Konstanty in the ninth. It W'as Rob
erts’ lbth victory. Don Newcombe
was the loser.
Wes Westrum’s 19th homer with a
man on base in the sixth inning
gave Sheldon Jones and the Giants
a 2-1 triumph over Warren Spahn
and the Braves. Jones allowed four
hits.
Stan Musial’s 16th homer with
one on in the second proved to be
the deciding blow in the Cards’
triumph over the Pirates.
Mel Parnell yielded eight hits for
his ninth Boston victory.
The White Sox overcame a 5-0
Detroit lead to win. They knocked
out starter Hal White with four runs
in the sixth, added tw'o more against
Hank Borowy in the seventh and
finished with three off loser Paul
.Calvert in the eighth. Eddie Robin
son’s 12th homer snapped a 6-6 tie.

LOSE OUT,
7-6 SCORE
iBy the Associated Press)
Every once in a while the Pacific
Coast League strikes a neat balance
between the sublime and the ridicu
lous. Like last night—
There were two swift, clean games.
Hollywood blanked Portland and
San Diego edged Los Angeles by
identical 2 to 0 scores. Pinky Woods
hurled a four-hitter for Hollywood,
A1 Olsen a five-hit job for San
Diego.
And there were two comedies of
errors. League-leading Oakland ac
cepted the gift of four Seattle errors,
eight walks and five unearned runs
for a 7-6 victory. Sacramento took
i 4-3 win over San Francisco when
Seal first sacker Les Fleming booted
a grounder in the 10th to let the
tie-breaking run cross the plate.
All these doings, wondrous and
weird, added up to no change in
the standings.
Hero of the evening was Woods,
the huge Hollywood pitcher who
was supposed to be through for the
eason aftej' a groin injury June 9.
He made his first appearance in two
months a spectacular effort remi
niscent of his 23-game winning sea
on last year.
San Diego’s Olsen racked up his
15th victory and third shutout, beat
ing Angel Cal McLish. Jack Gra
ham’s triple and Max West’s double
were key blows for the Padres.
Seattle blew a 6-1 lead against
Oakland. The Oaks scored five runs
a the fifth on four walks, a balk, a
passed ball, two errors—and one
hit. Then Jackie Albright’s error in
the ninth loaded the bases and set
he scene for Bob Holman’s winning
•ingle.

MANDERS PLUGS FOR
LINGO'S NEW GOLF
COURSE, ANCHORAGE
John Manders’ only regret at
leaving Anchorage Saturday on a
business trip to Cordova and Juneau
was that he would miss the week
end golfing at George A. Lingo's new
Forest Park Golf Club.
| Juheau’s first-hand report of the
new Anchorage golf course was from
Mr. Menders who said he had been
.spending every possible spare mo
ment away from his law office on
the course, since its opening July 29.
Opening play Saturday and Sun
day, July 29 and 30 was public and
attracted every golf player in the
vicinity of Anchorage.
“George Lingo has built a fine
nine-hole golf course. Its sand,
' greens, lawn fairways and beautiful
j view make playing at Forest Park
j a rare treat. It is a God-send to
| Anchorage and the response of the
| people to the opening of the golf
club proves its need as a recrea
tional outlet.”
Success of the club's opening is a
dream come true for Lingo, who
had lived and talked golf club in
Anchorage for many years.
“George has Dorothy and Joan in
j the office helping, a good golf pro
and the enthusiastic support of all
of the town,” Mr. Manders said.
Manders’ club membership is No. 2,
1 of which he is modestly proud.
The Dorothy, to whom he refers
is Mrs. George A. Lingo, Vice Presi
dent of The Empire and Joan is
their daughter, Joan Troy Lingo.
Miss Lingo does her work at the
golf club after her hours at travel
agent.
t Mr. Manders returned to Anchor
I age Tuesday by Pacific Northern
! Airlines.
