RAINIERS TIE
OAKS FOR 3RD
SPOT IN P. C. L.
By Associated Press
Sacramento still leads Portland
by one game in the Pacific Coast
League pennant race today and thr
gent largely responsible is a 35
year-old North Carolinan named
Ralph Hodgin.
Hodgin, who milks cows for ?
living in the off season, made hay at
the plate for the front running
Sacs last night. He slammed out
three hits and drove in five runs
with the big blow coming in the
10th inning when he drilled a two
run homer to finish the game.
Sacramento won it. 7-4, after suc
cumbing to Portland by 1-0 in the
first half of the doubleheader on the
strength of a four-hit performance
by the Beavers’ pitching mainstay
Roy Helser.
Wednesday produced pther heroes,
too, notably
Dario Lodigiani — his single in
the 11th gave lowly San Francisco
a 5-4 triumph over Oakland.
George Schmees — he lambasted
a two run homer in the eighth inn
ing and supplied Hollywood Stars
with a 6-4 conquest of Los Angeles.
The defeat dropped the Angels to
fifth, behind Seattle.
Joe Montalvo — he drove in three
runs in behalf of the Seattle Rain
iers while his battery mate. Pitcher
Jim Davis, turned in a seven hitter
to subdue the San Diego Padres,
9-2.
The victory boosted Seattle into
a tie with Oakland in third place
only a game behind Portland.

CARDINALS USING
RELIEF HURLERS
TO CINCH GAMES
By Associated Press
Marty Marion has eliminated the
caste system on the St. Louis Card
inal staff. No reliefers, No starters.
Just 10 pitchers. Everybody works
every day if needed.
So far it has worked. In 32 games,
Marion has used a total of 80 pitch
ers. Only 11 starters of his flu
stricken staff have gone the route.
Still his Red Birds are perched in
a second-place tie with Chicago,
only 2'- games off the Brooklyn
pace.
Some managers spend 25 years in
he business and never learn when
to yank a pitcher. Marion seems
to have mastered it in his freshman
year.
In recent games Marion had the
Midas touch with pitchers. Take
yesterday’s 6-5 win over Boston, for
example. He used three reliefers.
The second one, Tom Poholsky,
rolled along, pitching shutout ball
until the ninth. With one run in,
and men on first and third, Marion
yanked Poholsky and called on Ted
Wilks. Wilks struck out Roy Harts
field but gave up a run when Nippy
Jones fumbled a grounder. ,
Marion called for Max Lanier to
pitch to lefthand-hitting Earl Torg
eson. It worked. Torgy filed to Stan
Musial for the final out.
Heads Ruth’s Record
But Marion’s magic may be lost
in the shuffle if that Brooklyn gang
continues to pound those home runs.
Gil Hodges hit No. 14, three ahead
of Babe Ruth’s record pace in 1927,
and Bill Cox hammered one with
the bases loaded last night in the
Dodgers’ 11-4 romp over Pittsburgh.
T]-„p victory wound up a success
ful Dodger road trip through the ■
West. They came home with a 2V4- |
game lead. Even Newcombe lasted
all the way for his fourth win.
Sal Maglie skirted 10 Chicago hits
for his sixth straight victory for
the New York Giants, 2-1, on the
strength of Monte Irvin’s two-run
homer off Paul Minner in the
fourth.
Konstanty Routed
Cincinnati routed Jim Konstanty
in the 10th for a 4-3 edge after the
Phils’ Dick Sisler hit a homer in
the top of the inning.
The Boston Red Sox slugged the
j battered St. Louis Brownies, 12-0,
with Mel Parnell throwing a four
hit shutout. Every Sox starter ex
cept Ted Williams hit safely in the
16-hit barrage. Williams walked five
times.
Vern Stephens, who tied an Amer
ican League record with 10 assists
at third base, had three Boston
hits. So did Lou Boudreau.
Rain probably saved the league
leading New York Yankees for they
trailed Detroit, 7-3, when washed
out after three innings.
Bad weather also washed out
night games between Cleveland and
Washington and Chicago and Phil
adelphia.
FIGHTDOPE
Two fights last night with fol
lowing results:
Detroit — Clarence Henry, 183,
Los Angeles, knocked out Embrel
Davidson, 204, Detroit, 8.
Bangor, Me. — Bill Paul, 151,
Holyoke, Mass.; outpointed Roger
Guerrette, 154, Bangor, 8.

PORTHCAWL, Wales, May 24 —
tjfl— Defending Champion Frank
Stranahan of Toledo, Ohio, was
knocked out of the British golf
championship today, but five other
American Walker Cup stars survived

victim of Joe Carr of Ireland, one
of Britain’s finest amateurs. Carr
also defeated the “strong boy” in
the recent Walker Cup matches.
The only other American to meet

Wininger of Pleasantville, N. J-,
who bowed to A. D. Evans of Eng
land on the 21st hole.
