FOUR-CLUB
BATTLE IN
AMER. LEAG.
i '
(By the Associated Press)
Sad Sam Zoldak. ticketed for San
Diego ire May, has pitched Cleve
land to within IK, games of the
American League lead with three
relief wins in a week.
They actually handed Zoldak
carfare to the Pacific Coast League
on cut-down day. At the last min
ute, Hank Greenberg, Tribe genera
manager, changed his mind. Johnny
Berardino, veteran infielder, went
to San Diego instead of Sam. Hank
never will be sorry.
Zoldak helped Manager Lov
Boudreau’s staff all season. But up
to last Thursday he had only a 1-1
record. Five brilliant relief innings
at Philadelphia, July 20, started j
him on the way. Saturday night ai
Washington he picked up anothei
victory, rescuing Early Wynn.
When Mike Garcia was knocked
out of the box in tire third, inning
of last night’s game with the A's j
Zoldak came in. He held Philadel
phia to two hits the rest of the way
for a 6-2 decision.
Four-Club Battle
Cleveland’s surge is only one fac
tor of a developing situation that
has turned the American League
race inio! a four-club battle. With
Detroit's . lead aliced to, a half game
over the'New York Yankees, Cleve
land coming strong and the revived
Boston Red Sox on the march, any
thing can happen.
The Red Sox made it two straight
over Detroit yesterday, 1-0, on
Bobby Doerr’s home run and Mel
Parnell’s five-hit pitching. It was
the fifth loss in the last six starts
for the Tigers.
Parnell, a 25-game winner last
year, went the route for the first
time since July 1. Art Houtteman
was the losing pitcher.
Joe DiMaggio, making a late sum
mer comeback, slugged a two-run
homer to help the Yanks whip
St. Louis, 6-3.
Rain postponed the Washington
at Chicago game in the third in
ning.
Phillies Increase Lead
The Phillies scored six runs in the
sixth inning against Chicago to in
crease their National League lead
to 1K> games with a 6-4 win. Walt
Dubiel took a 4-0 edge into the
sixth but blew the game with six
walks and two hits. Five of the
walks were in succession, only one
short of the National League re
cord. Carmen Mauro’s double and
Hank Sauer’s single off Russ Meyer
broke a string of 27 scoreless innings
for the Cubs in the first.
Brooklyn clinched the season
series with St. Louis, with a 7-5
triumph that made it 12 out of 17
this year. Switch hitter Jim Russell
hit two homers, one righthanded
and one lefthanded, to lead the
Brooks.

straight game with a double and a
single off winner Don Newcombe,
who hasn’t lost to St. Louis all year.

SPLIT GAMES
WITH OAKS
Beavers Upend Hollywood
Twice - Other Up
heavals in PCL
(By the Associated Press!
The Portland Beavers aren’t going
my place in particular, but they're
tne of the Pacific Coast League’s
jeskiest spoilers.
The bumptious Beavers upended
follywood twice last night, 5-1 and
1-0, to drop the fading Stars six
tames behind pace-setting Oakland.
The Oaks split with Seattle, win- i
ling 4-0 before absorbing an 8-2
lasting.
San Francisco, driving for a first
livision. post, advanced to within
'. game and a half of fourth place
ly edging Saeramento, 6-4. San
Diego, in the third shutout of the
light, blanked Los Angeles, 2-0.
Portland combined crackcrjcck
(itching by Bob Drilling and Jack
• Dfeel with timely slugging by Joe
Irovia and Mickey Rocco for its
1 win win. Drilling scattered six hits
n the seven-inning opener as Brovia
(lasted his 23rd and 24th homers,
heel tossed a five-hit shutout to
lest Herb Karpel of the Stars,
tocco’s two-run single with the bags j
oaded in the eighth was the game
lreaker.
Oakland’s whitewash job was a
| even inning, three-hit stint by
1 -lank Behrman which snapped the
ix-game winning streak of Seattle’s
luy Fletcher.
The Rainiers bounced back be
lind Charley Schanz in the after
lieee, however, putting five runs
cross in a decisive third inning out
lurst. A1 Lyons’ homer with one on
limaxed the big frame. Seattle
lulled a triple steal in the eighth,
vjth Lyons sliding across the plate
or the final run.
San Diego’s calsomine specialist
vas A! Olsen, who came through un
' cathed despite yielding 10 hits.
Frankie Marino was the hardluck
oser. Marino has given up only
hree runs in the last 24 innings,
wo of them unearned, and still has
I been charged with three straight
j defeats.
Olsen left 12 Angels stranded on
base and twice set the side down
ifter the bags were loaded with no
body out.
; San Francisco had to come from
behind to nip Sacramento. The
Seals scored all their six runs in
the eighth.
Matt Surkont, up to that point,
had allowed only one hit.

mered a pair of home runs each to
lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an

Dodgers in the rubber game of their

one third innings, scored three runs
in the eighth inning to defeat 'the
Chicago White Sox. 3-2, in the first
game of a doubleheader today.
SIX MEN WALKED
IN ONE INNING;
KEPT PITCHING
PHILADELPHIA, July 27—(AY—
Last night Wally Dubiel of the Chi
cago Cubs walked six men in one
inning—five in a row—and his man
ager, Frankie Frisch, said he’d have
“kept Dubiel in there for 99 runs
before I’d have taken him out for
that kind of performance."
In one stretch, Dubiel threw 14
straight balls in that sixth inning
as the Philadelphia Phillies scored
a 6-4 victory.
Frisch answered the jockeys who
booed and howled him because he
didn’t take Dubiel out for a pinch
hitter. Frisch said he permitted
Dubiel to work out of his own jam
so that Frisch could find out “if
Cubs’ pitchers have to have a lan
tern on the plate to find out where
it is located.”
