REDS MAKE
BIG SPURT
FOR FLAG
(By the Associated Tress)
Shades of 1914. Can Luke Sewell j
perform a miracle at Cincinnati?
You have to stretch a point to
call seventh-place Cincinnati, 11 ti '
games out of first, a pennant factor.
But you can tip your hat to Sewell
for the Red revival. The man who
led the St. Louis Browns to their!
only pennant doesn’t quit.
Last by 17 lengths June 24. the
Reds may not qualify as the 1950
miracle team but they sure are the j
Dodger-killers. If Branch Rickey j
muffs the pennant, he can Marne |
Cincy.
The sizzling Reds polished off the j
the ambitious Brooks last night in j
both ends of a twilight-night i
doubleheader, 3-1 and 6-2. That1
made it eight out of 11 over the |
Dodgers this season and 19 wins in |
their last 25 starts. Or, if you prefer,,
21 of 29.
Kenny Raffensberger's cunning j
control stuff silenced the Brooks in
the opener despite Don Newcombe’s
five-hitter. Then Ewell (The Whip)
Blackwell struck out nine in a
sizzling night performance. Neither
Cincy pitcher walked a man.
Ted Kluszewski was the big man
of the first game. His first-inning
single drove in one of two Cincy
runs and his 17th homer in the
sixth added the last.
As a result, the Dodgers are three
full games back of St. Louis and j
Cincy is only a half-game back of j
the sixth place New York Giants. !
While Cincinnati lowered the ]
boom on Brooklyn, the New York |
Giants bounced back to smother St ,
Louis, 13-3. The loss didn't cost the
Cardinals the lead but narrowed
their advantage over Boston am’
Philadelphia to a single game.
Slugfest
The rained out Braves didn’t
have a chahce to gain and the Phil
lies missed their opportunity, bow
ing to Pittsburgh, 10-8, in a slug
fest that lasted almost three hours
Ted Beard, Gus Bell and Danny
O’Connell each had three hits it.
the 16-hit attack.
Leo Durocher's Giants really got j
revenge for the 18-4 and 10-3 beat- ]
ings of Wednesday as they piled it
up against the Cardinals with art j
eight-run third inning. Dave Koslo, I
a non-W'inner since June 29, copped !
his ninth with a nine-hitter.
Everybody closed in on the De- j
troit Tigers yesterday when they
lost to Boston, 6-5, in 11 innings.
The runnerup New York Yankees,
not scheduled to play, gained a half
game. Cleveland and Boston each
picked up a full game.
Dom DiMaggio’s double off Art
Houtteman scored Billy Goodman
with the winning Red Sox run to
cap'an* uphill struggle. Detroit did
all its scoring off Walt Masterson
before he was knocked out in the
fourth inning. After that Chuck
Stobbs and Ellis Kinder pitched ex
cellent relief ball. The Sox pulled
within one of a tie on Bobby Doerr’s
13th homer in the eighth and evened
matters in the ninth on two walks
and Vern Stephen's single.
Sam Zoldak and Bob Kennedy
teamed up on Philadelphia for
Cleveland's 3-2 victory in 11 innings.
Kennedy tied the score with a
homer off Alex Kellner after two
were out in the ninth. Zoldak, who
replaced Steve Gromek in the sev
enth, shut out the A s with two hits
the rest of the way and drove in
Kennedy with a "bloop" single to
left in the 11th. .
Rain postponed the scheduled'
night game between Chicago and
Washington. It also washed out the
daytime game in the National be
tween Boston and Chicago.

Swim Record
Gets Smashed
SEATTLE, July 21 — i/PI — Vale's
John Marshall smashed one world
swimming record and a flock of
American standards yesterday but
had to share the spotlight, with a
quiet. 17-year-old high school sen
ior from Hawaii.
That would be Ford Konno, who
swam a competitive mile for the
first time in his life and bettered
the world mark of 20:29 set in
1942 by another Hawaiian, Leo
rJakama.
But the luck of the draw gave
Marshall a lane in the first he?*
of the mile preliminaries, opening
event in the 1950 men's outdoor
A.A.U. championships. He went
the distance in 20:09.6 for a world
and an American record. Konno
came through with a 20:22.3 effort
in the second heat.
This pointed up a two-man race
for tonight’s mile finals.
The Coast Guard will play hosts
to the Elks nine tonight at 6:30 in
Firemen’s Park for a makeup game
that was rained out Sunday, July 16.
The game was called at the end
of 2' innings Sunday with the
Elks leading the CG 4 to 0, but the
game tonight will start from scratch.
With both teams having an en
forced rest and the pitchers fresh,
observers predict a slam-bang game
with a score close.
