RAINIER! DEFEAT
OAKS, SCORE 5-1,
TO SPLIT SERIES
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
The Hollywood Stars are looking
toward big John Lindell as the
thunderstick they need to beat their
way back as Pacific Coast League
pennant contenders.
Whether Lindell, the ex-New York
Yankee, can provide the power
punch Hollywood has lacked all sea
son is a matter of conjecture. The
33-year-old outfielder busted a lot.
of fences In the majors before he
lost his touch.
Even if he does produce in the
Coast League, his appearance may
be too late to help. The Twinks
trail Oakland by 8'•> games today,
and acquiring Lindell may be tanta
mount to buying the horse after the
barn has burned down.
Lindell joins the Stars tonight for
an eight game series at Seattle. This
is the one that can either make
or break Hollywood—or Seattle, also,
for that matter.
The Rainiers gained an even split
in their 10-game battle with Oak
land by whipping the Oaks, 5 to 1
last night. But it didn’t hoist Seattle
back into the first division. The
Rainiers remain fifth, half a notch
behind San Francisco.
Lefty Jim Davis displayed winning
form in checking the Acorns. Seat
tle collected 10 hits, most of them
in the first and third innings; Oak
land had eight. It was the only
game of the evening.

YANKS, TIGERS TO
MEET TONIGHT IN
"CRUCIAL" GAME
(By the Associated Press)
First place is the prize tonight as
the rising New York Yankees and
the slumping Detroit Tigers clash
in the first of a “crucial” three game
series.
A capacity crowd of 55,000 is ex
pected at Briggs Stadium to watch
the mound duel between southpaw
Tommy Byrne of the Yankees and
righthander Art Houtteman of the
Tigers.
A Yankee victory would put
Casey Stengel’s men back at the top
of the American League for the first
time since June 9. It was cn ihat
day that the Tigers wrested the
lead from New York. They have kept
it for 51 days despite some trying
times.
Manager Stengel, confident of
victory, is leading with his most
effective pitcher against the Tigers
in an effort to get the jump. Byrne
has beaten the Bengals four times
without a defeat this season and
holds a lifetime 12-3 mark against
them.
Houtteman, steadiest Tiger hurler,
has a 3-2 mark against New York
for the year. His lifetime mark is
8-5.
There were no games in the
American League yesterday but the
National League picture changed
somewhat when the Boston Braves
defeated the St. Louis Cardinals,
4-3, and the Chicago Cubs whipped
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 8-5.
Walker Cooper’s single off Tommy
Glaviano’s glove in the last of the
ninth drove in Earl Torgeson with
the run that gave Boston the vic
tory and moved the Braves into
second place past the Cardinals.
The Braves now trail the pace-set
ting Philadelphia Phils by three
games. The Cards are three and a
half games behind and the fourth
place Dodgers lag by four and a half.
Warren Spahn went the route for
his 13th victory.
The Cubs overcame a 5-1 deficit.
They tallied three times in the sixth
to kayo starter Dan Bankhead. Two
straight hits finished Chris Van
Cuyk in the seventh.

LEAD IN BATTING,
AMER. LEAGUE
CHICAGO, Aug. 1 —1*1 — Third
baseman George Kell of Detroit,
the 1949 batting champion, main
tained his American League hitting
lead during the week with a seven
point boost to .351, three ahead of
Cleveland’s Larry Doby.
A week ago Kell held a mere one
point edge over teammate Hoot

Evers skidded seven points into
a third-place tie with Boston's
Johnny Pesky at .336. Doby upped
his mark five points to .348 for
sole possession of second place.
Other leaders in averages com

were Walt Dropo, Boston, who

ra, New York, .328; A1 Zarilla,
Boston, .324; Phil Rissuto, New
York, .321; Johnny Groth, Detroit,
.320; and Vic Wertz, Detroit, .313.
Kell also continued as a double
leader in the specialized bracket
with 135 hits and 31 two-baggers.
Boston's Vern Stephens is the only
other two-ply leader with 85 runs
scored and 100 runs batted in.
A1 Rosen of Cleveland added two
homers during the week to increase
his top total to 29. New York's
Gene Woodling banged five triples
in his last eight hits to surge
ahead in this production with nine.
Stolen base honors were still held
by Boston's Dom DiMaggio with
an unchanged total of 10.

"RED SHOES" WILL
HAVE PREMIERE AT
20TH CENTURY HERE
•
Few films in the history of the
screen have won the uniformly grent
honors heaped on “The Red Shoes,”
the J. Arthur Rank dance-anrt
drama romance in Technicolor
opening tomorrow at the Oross 20th
Century Theatre. This showing of
“The Red Shoes" comes direct from
a sensational more than a year run
in New York and elsewhere at re
served-seat scales.
From the day of its debut in the
U.S., “The Red Shoes” swept up
laurel after laurel. The National
Board of Review put it on it’s list of
ten-best. The New York critics
adorned it with unstinting praise
and also chose it for their ten-best
category. No less than three Acad
emy Awards went to It when these
were given out. Newspapers not only
reviewed and acclaimed it but sev
eral wrote editorials about it, an
almost unheard-of procedure. The
Encyclopedia Britannica chose it to
illustrate the motion picture section
of the 1949 Britannica Book of the
Year.
Leading the cast of “The Red
Shoes,” an Eagle Lions Films re
lease, which was adapted from Hans
Christian Andersen's most beloved
book, are Anton Walbrook, Marius
Goring, Moira Shearer, Leonide
Massine, Robert Helpmann, Albert
Basserman and Ludmllls Tcherina.
The full length ballet of the Red
Shoes, which is one of the film’s
highlights, is presented with the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under
the direction of Sir Thomas Beec
ham.
ROBINSON HOLDS
NINE-POINT LEAD
FOR BATTING, N.L.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1— (A—Jackie
Robinson holds a nine-point edge
on Stan Muslal in his battle to
retain the National League batting
title.
Back home at Brooklyn, Robin
son boosted his average two points
last week to .370. Musial ad
vanced one point to .361, but it
wasn’t a good week for the St.
Louis slugger. The Brooklyn hurl
ers stopped his consecutive hitting
streak at 30 games.
Robinson has 124 hits—the most
in the league—in 335 at bat. Mu
sial has one less safety, 123, in
341 tries.
Enos Slaugther, Muslal’s team
mate, climbed from seventh to
third place with his .332 mark.
Figuring includes games of Sunday,
July 29.
Whitey Lockman of the New
York Giants returned to action and
dropped a point to .330, but it was
good enough to keep the outfielder
in , fourth place.
GRID PROSPECTS AT
SO. CALIF. RATHER
GLOOMY RIGHT NOW
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 — (A*) —
Football prospects at the Univer
sity of Southern California took on
a World War II color today, with
25 squad members classified in 1-A.
Head coach Jeff Cravath checked
his roster in an effort to learn who
will be around when school starts
Sept. 18. He didn’t like what he
found.
His three quarterbacks, Wilbur
Robertson, Frank Gifford and Ed
Demirjian are draft eligibles. His
first line halfback, Pat Duff, is in
the Army air ROTC reserve.
Elsewhere in the Pacific Coast
Conference the situation is evi

Long Beach, Johnny Olszewski, a
top fullback candidate at the Uni
versity of California, also was listed
1-A.
