RAINIERS
IN WIN, 3
STRAIGHT
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
The Seattle Rainiers are still sun
ny side up in the Pacific Coast
League pennant scramble today, and
you could probably fry an egg on
the brow of Oakland Manager Mel
Ott.
Over the weekend, Ott’s minions
tried everything, including their
fists, in an effort to unhorse the
high riding Rainiers. All they got
out of it was frustration — and
fourth place.
The Oaks will get another crack
at their tormentors Tuesday — in
friendlier home surroundings. Oak
land lost t |-ee games at Seattle by
one run margins — including Sun
day’s doubleheader. In a setting of
semi-riot, Seattle won by scores of
2-1 and 1-0. Four rhubarb partici
pants, including Ott, were banished
It was Seattle’s seventh consecu
tive sweep of a Sunday home dou
bleheader and gave the Rainiers six
out of their last seven games.
Seattle’s big hero was A1 Lyons
who pitched the shutout and hom
ered for the lone score.
Twin Hills Split
All other teams split their twin
bills and lost ground to the pace
setters. Runner-up Hollywood fell
three games behind by losing to
Sacramento, 5-1, after beating the
Solons, 8-7 in the first game.
Ed Cereghino, 17-year-old rookie
pitcher purchased for $50,000 by the
New York Yankees, made his debut
for San Francisco, and lost. He
twirled the second game, a seven
inning affair which went into over
time. San Diego won it, 6-4, on a
bases loaded single in the eighth by
Joe Rowell. The Seals took the open
er, 5-4.
Los Angeles posted its first vic
tory in seven starts by beating Port
land, 6-5, in their first game on Max
West’s two-run homer in the eighth
inning. The Beavers captured the
nightcap, 4-2, with Joe Brovia bet
ting in all four runs.

Stars of Sunday major league
games are:
Batting — Elmer Valo, Athletics—
hammered three homers, two in the
first game, each with Eddie Joost
on base to lead the Athletics to a
sweep cf their doubleheader with
the Senators, 10-7 and 3-2.
Pitching — Bob Feller, Indians—
hurled his third major league no
hitter in the opening game as the
Indians swept two from Detroit, 2-1
and 2-0. Feller fanned five and
walked three as the only Tiger run
resulted from two errors, a stolen
base and a long fly in the fourth
inning.

FELLER
MAKING
RECORD
Is Only Modern Day Hurler
to Date With 3-No Hit
ters to Credit
By Associated Press
I Bob Feller, king of active major
I league pitchers, sits on a pedesta
; today as the only modern day hurler
with three no-hit games to his
credit.
The 32-year-old Cleveland right
hander, making a great comeback
after two mediocre seasons, held
I Detroit without a hit yesterday as
he pitched the Indians to a 2-1 vic
tory in the first game of a double
header. The Tigers were limited to
only four hits all day as Rookie
Bob Chakales shut them out, 2-0, in
:he nightcap.
Feller's performance capped at
afternoon of brilliant pitching that
Included a lost one-hitter, a pair
if two-hitters and a four-hitter
Bob's no-hit masterpiece overshad
nved the Chicago White Sox fall out
if the American League lead and
Bobby Doerr’s feat of making his
1 000th hit as a Boston Red Socket
Yanks Go To Top
Compared to Feller's achievement,
Ed Lopat’s six-hitter wasn’t much,
but it was good enough to give Nev,
York a 5-2 triumph over Boston and
move the Yankees into first place,
four percentage points above the
White Sox.
Ned Garver’s two-hit twirling
gave the St. Louis Browns a 3-1
nightcap victory after Chicago had
won an 11-inning opener, 2-1, on
Minnie Minoso’s homer. It dropped
the White Sox out of first place for
the first time since May 28.
Ryss Meyer held Brooklyn to one
nit but the Dodgers beat his Phil
adelphia Phils, 2-0. Pee Wee Reese
got the Dodgers’ lone blow off the
temperamental righthander. It was
a booming third inning triple that
followed walks to Roy Campanella
and Cal Abrams, accounting for the
only runs of the game.
Cincinnati Handcuffed
Paul Minner handcuffed Cincin
nati with two singles in the opener
as the Chicago Cubs swept a dou
bleheader from the Reds, 7-0 and
7-5. Larry Jansen scattered seven
hits in pitching the New York
Giants to a 4-1 win over Boston’s
Braves.
In the only game where pitching
did not shine, the Philadelphia Ath
letics downed the Washington Sen
otors twice, 10-7 and 3-2 and the
St. Louis Cardinals whipped the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4 in 12 inn
ings. Elmer Valo hit three homers
for the Athletics.
Feller’s Realization
In pitching his third, no-hitter,
Feller realized a five-year dream.
It was on April 30, 1940, just after
he had held the Yankees hitless,
that he set a third no-hitter as his
goal.
“I really wanted to get it,” Bob
said yesterday, "because only one
man in modern baseball has done
it — Cy Young.”
Larry Corcoran hurled three for
Chicago in the National League in
1880, 1882 and 1884; and Young’s
three were in 1897, 1904 and 1908.
Feller’s first no-hitter was open
ing day, April 17, 1940, against the
White Sox. The Van Meter, la., farm
boy, who joined the Indians in 1936
as a 17-year-old and fanned 17 bat
ters in a game on his first season,
also has pitched 10 no-hitters—a
major league record.
Feller, the second to pitch a no
hitter this year (Cliff Chambers of
Pittsburgh was the other), walked
three batters and fanned five.
SUNDAY FIRE CALLS
The first fire Sunday was at 9:40
a.m. with defective wiring at the
Kenneth Clem residence, 633 East
street, as the cause. No damage was
reported. The second fire was at
8:40 p.m. Packing in two crates on
the Alaska dock ramp was evident
ly set on fire by a carelessly dropped
cigarette. There was no damage re
ported.
