Brissie Bails Out Falter
ing Starters in Indian
Pennana Race
By the Associated Press
Lou Brissie is the unheralded cog
in the Cleveland Indians’ stirring
drive for the American league pen
nant.
Brissie is to the Indians what Joe
Page was to the New York Yankees
in their successful 1947 and 1949
pennant campaigns. But unlike the
former gay reliever of the Bombers,
Brissie hasn’t drawn the headlines.
Although the ‘ big four” of Bob
Feller, Mike Garcia. Early Wynn
and Bob Lemon have received most
of the credit, Brissie has contributed
handsomely to the 2‘-j game lead
the Indians enjoy over the Yankees J
today.
The 27-year-old lefthander, seri
ously wounded in Italy during the
war, pitched three scoreless in
nings in relief yesterday to gain
credit for the Indians 6-5 ten
inning victory over the Detroit
Tigers for their 12th straight win.
The Yanks kept pace by defeating
the Washington Senators, 6-3. The
third place Boston Red Sox also
won, downing the Philadelphia Ath
letics, 7-4.
In the National League, the New
York Giants turned back the Brook
lyn Dodgers, 4-2, the Boston Braves
beat the Philadelphia Phils, 4-2, and
the Chicago Cubs edged the St.
Louis Cardinals, 5-4. The other
clubs were idle.
Brissie, making his 34th appear*
ance for the Indians, gained his
third triumph. However, it marked
the 12th time he has successfully l
bailed out a faltering starter.
Brissie now has pitched 19' • con
secutive scoreless innings.
The lanky southpaw came to the
Indians from the Philadelphia Ath- ]
letics in a three-cornered deal with |
Chicago on April 30. The Indians
had to give up Orestes Minoso to j
the White Sox to obtain Brissie.
At the time Indian General Man
ager Hank Greenberg was criticized
lor making the deal. Greenberg said,
“We didn’t want to give up Minoso.
He has the chance to become one
of the really good ball players of
our time.”
Minoso has lived up to Greenberg’s
expectations but the work of Brissie
has enabled the Indians to go all
out for the pennant.

Bevins Go Tonight
BALTIMORE, Aug. 15— W—Joe
Louis, apparently just pining away
for a crack at the world heavyweight
title he once held, could muster1 only
200' pounds for his ten round go
tonight with Jimmy Bevins.
Bevins came up with a surpris
ing 13011 at the official weighing
ceremonies today.
They meet in Baltimore’s Munici
pal stadium at 7:30 pan. (PDT).
"That's the lightest in a long, long
time," the Brown Bomber said when
the scales failed to go up.
"I feel strong, though.”
Bivins had more success in his
campaign to put on pounds, but not
as much as he wanted.
"Push it up, push it up—182,” he
kept telling the scale masters. But
the scales would not go above the
18C! i mark.
