TIGERS AND
RED SOX TO
START SERIES
(By Associated Press)
Are the Detroit Tigers leaping
out of the frying pan in the fire?
Having escaped the “kill” with a
comeback to salvage the last game
of a near-disastrous three-game
series with the Yankees in New
York, the Tigers moved cautiously
today into the lair of Boston's 10
in-a-row Red Sox.
Manager Red Rolfe entrusted the
task of halting the Sox to Paul
(Dizzy) Trout, currently the hot
test pitcher on the Tiger staff.
Southpaw Mel Parnell, always a
tough pitcher for Detroit to beat,
was named by Manager Steve O'
Neill.
No matter what happens in the
two-game series the Tigers are as
sured of leaving Boston stil^ in first
place. They made certain of that
yesterday when they overcame a
3-0 deficit to conquer the Yankees,
•6-3.
Had they lost yesterday, me iigers
would have seen their once comfort
able lead shrivel to a half-game
advantage.
The Indiaris swept a twi-nlght
douhleheader from the Senators in
Washington, 3-1 and 5-3, to climb
into a virtual second place tie.
The fourth place Red Sox won their
10th straight, defeating the St. Louis
Browns, 6-2. They trail the pace
makers by four and a half games.
Thus far, the Tigers have not
found Boston as tough as usual.
They’ve already whipped the Red
Sox 11 times in 18 meetings.
It was Hal Newhouser who got
the Tigers off the hook yesterday.
He scattered four hits after the
third inning to register his 11th
victory, his first since July 17.
A crowd of 44,078 saw the Tigers
send Tommy Byrne to cover during
a winning two-run rally in the sev
enth.
The Red Sox came from behind
with a hinth-inning rally to beat
St. Louis. A grand slam homer by
Vern Stephens with two out did it.
Early Wynn won his 15th and Bob
Lemon his 19th as the Indians pick
eed up another half game on the
Tigers. Larry Doby’s 20th homer
broke a 1-1 tie in the opener.
Brooklyn’s streaking Dodgers cu’„
a half game, off Philadelphia’s big
National League lead by sweeping
a pair at Cincinnati, 1-0, 7-3.
Preacher Roe pitched his second
successive 1-0 shutout in topping
Ewell Blackwell in the opener. It
was Roe’s 17 victory.
The victories were the seventh
and eighth straight for the Dodgers
who now trail the Phils by five
games.
I
Emory (Bubba) Church pitched |
the Phils to a 4-2 triumph over
the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The I
rookie righthander scattered five!
hits for his sixth win. 1
Clint Hartung's pinch-hit double'
drove in two runs in the top of the J
gtinth to give Dave Koslo and the j
New York Giants a 3-2 victory over
Max Lanier and the Cards in St.
Louis.
Boston’s third-place Braves split
two games with the Cubs in Chicago, j
The Braves won the opener, 11-9, as t
each team tallied six runs in the
ninth. The Cubs lost despite four
homers, two by Hank Sauer. Frank
Hiller bested Mickey Haefner in a
second game hurling duel, 4-3. Sauer
smacked two doubles, scoring once
and driving in another.

Seattle Takes
Pair Last Night
From Portland
(By Associated Press)
It was another long night in the
Pacific Coast League, but it produc
ed such memorable ocurances as a
marathon game broken up in the
15th inning with a two run homer
and another shutout by the master
ful Jim Wilson.
The 15-inning affair took place
at Hollywood, where the Stars bat
tled give and take with the San
Francisco Seals and finally won, 9
to 7. The hero of the piece was
Murray Franklin. He stepped up
there with a mate on base in the
bottom of the 15th and parked a
3 and 1 pitch out of the park to
«ew it up for the Stars.
San Francisco had tied the thing
up at 4-all in the ninth, then went
ahead with a three run 14th capped
by Jim Moran’s inside the park
round tripper with one aboard.
But Hollywood bounced back in the
home half to tie it up again.
Wilson’s shutout came in the se
cond game of a doubleheader at
Portland. He chucked a two hitter in
the seven inning affair and gave
Seattle a 7 to 0 triumph over the
Beavers. The Rainiers also took the
opener, 7 to 6, on center fielder
A1 Lyon’s ninth inning home run
with Walt Judnich aboard.
The shutout was Wilson’s 21st
conquest of the campaign.
Oakland, meanwhile, succumbed
again to lowly Los Angeles, 5-3.
It was a tight pitcher’s battle un
til the late going, with Ralph Ham
ner, the Angel starter holding the
heavy hitting Acorns in check until
the ninth.
At Sacramento, San Diego’s in
field fell asleep in the fourth in
ning, committed three errors and
allowed seven Sacramento runs to
pass. The last place Solons won the
thing, 13 to 5, with Steve Souchock
hitting his 25th homer of the year
to spark a 15-hit assault.
B. B. STARS
Batting—Vern Stephens, Red Sox,
hit a grand slam homer in the
ninth inning with two out to give
the Red Sox a 6-2 victory over the
St. Louis Browns.

out as the Dodgers sw'ept a double

FRANK STRANAHAN
FAVORER TO TAKE
60LF TOURNAMENT;
_ I
By Charles Chamberlain
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 25— Cfl —
Everybody has climbed on the Frank
Stranahan bandwagon at the Na
! tional Amateur Golf Tournament.
Seldom, if ever, in the 50-year
, history of the meet has such a pro
hibitive favorite emerged in the
semi-final stage.
Stranahan himself is almost as
confident as the railbirds. The in
ternationally-known 28-year-old To
ledo golfer has never gained the
semi-final round before.
If Frankie wins he will become
the first player since Lawson Little
15 years ago td capture both the
British and National amateurs in
one season.
• In today’s scheduled 36-hole ac
i tion gmong four survivors, the inde
fatigable Stranahan draws John P.
Ward, 29-year-old Syracuse, N. Y.,
real estate lawyer.
In the second 36-hole match, so
cialite Robert W. Knowles, Jr., of
Brookline, Mass., a great grandson
of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfel
low, and just plain Sam Urzetta
of Rochester, N. Y., collide.
Stranahan gained the semi-final
with a simple 5 to 4 win over Dick
Kinchla of Newtonville, Mass., yes- •
terday.
