DETROIT TIGERS
KEEPING AT TOP,
AMERICAN LEAGUE
(By the Associated Press!
The sensational stickwork of Vic
Wertz is keeping the Detroit Tigers
at! the top in the pulse-pounding
American League pennant race.
jf Wertz hadn’t picked this week
to! go on a .764 batting tear, the
Timers might be deep down in third
place today instead of leading the
field by one full game. His big bat
has personally accounted for four
Detroit triumphs in the Tigers' cur
rent home stand.
Tommy Byrne, an old Tiger
Tamer, found the feat impossible
last night. As a rgsult the southpaw
lost his first game of the season
to the Tigers, who went on to whip
the New York Yankees, 7-3, in the
first of an all-important three-game
series.
Wertz hammered two home runs
and drew a walk in four times at
bat, to drive in three runs. The
pair of four-baggers gave the 200
pound outfielder seven homers in
five consecutive games. That tied a
record set by Babe Ruth in 1921 and
pqualledj by Jim Bottomley of the St.
Louis Cardinals in 1929.
Dizzy Trout, a last minute pitch
ing. replacement for ailing Art
Houtteman, turned in a masterful
jotr'in turning back the Yankees
with six hits. He was behind only
onde when he served a two-run
homer to Johnny Mize in the sixth.
Cleveland's third place Indians
shot to. within a game cf second
when they defeated Washington,
8-2. Jim Hegan pac:d the Tribe's
li-hit attack with a double, triple
atjd home run.
Yhe fourth place Boston Red Sox
continued their domination over the
S^. Louis Browns with a 7-3 victory.
Mel Parnell went the route for his
eighth triumph. Walt Dropo rapped
three hits for the victors and drove
in two runs.
Billy Pierce pitched the Chicago
White Sox to an easy 8-1 win over
Philadelphia.
National League Race
The National League race tight
ened when Brooklyn sw'ept two
games from Pittsburgh, 21-12 and
3-1 to close within three and a half
games of the pace setting Philadel
phia Phils. The Phillies split a pair
with Cincinnati,-.winning the opener.
6-4, and losing the second, 4-1.
The Cardinals regained second j
place, three games off the pace,
thrashing the Boston Braves, 6-1.
Rookie righthander Cloyd Boyer
spaced six hits for his fourth Cardi
nal triumph. Boston’s Earl Torge
son’s consecutive hitting streak was
snapped at 22 games.
Del Ennis smashed his fifth homer
in six games and drove in two more
tallies with a single to pace the
Phils to their first game triumph
as Bob Miller notched his 10th win
Ewell Blackwell gave the Reds an
even break with a four-hitter in
the nightcap.
Army bound Curt Simmons, wht
flew in to pitch for Philadelphia
after getting a special pass from
the National Guard, was knocked
out in the fourth inning. He was]
charged with his sixth defeat. He
has won 14.
It took the Dodgers five weeks to
get their June 24 victory over Pitts
burg in the official records. But
they finally did it last night when
they concluded the suspended game
prior to playing their regularly
scheduled one.
Erv Palica allowed only five hits
in the regular game
The scheduled game between the
New York Giants and Chicago Cubs
was postponed by rain.
MARINO IS WINNER,
WORLD FLYWEIGHTS
HONOLULU, Aug. 2—(tfl—Dade
Marino, an old man of 34 in the
ring, today owns the world flyweight
title that had eluded him for years.
The Hawaiian-born Filipino won
a close but unanimous decision last
night over London’s Terry Allen in
15 bruising rounds. Marino weighed
112 pounds, Allen 11114.
"The first punch he hit me with, I
knew I could win,” Marino said in
his dressing room. He is the first
American citizen in 20 years to win
the flyweight crown.
There were no knockdowns but
both fighters threw leather at a rug
ged pace. Marino exploded powerful
lefts to Allen’s head time and
again.
“I got no excuses—the best man
won,” Allen said. “It was a fair de
cision.”

ACORNS BOOSTING
LEAD BY PITCHING,
PLENTY OF POWER
(By the Associated Press)
Oakland's triumphant surge ahead ■
of the Pacific Coast League pack
is not just a matter of power. The j
Acorns boast plenty of pitching,'
too.
Shoun, the venerable lefty, proved
that again last night as he posted
his 14th win—a tidy eight-hit 5-2
job against Portland.
Shoun, who has lost only three,
cooled off the Beavers (who had1
won eight straight) as though he
were pitching batting practice. He
fanned five and the Beavers didn't
tally until Ed Barr hit a two-run1
pinch-hit homer in the seventh.
The victory kept the Oaks 8'j games
ahead.
Seattle lost 4 to 0 to Hollywood
Los Angeles defeated Sacramento
7 to 4 and San Diego edged San
Francisco, 8-7.
San Francisco started fast in its
bid for the third place San Diego
hold, and led 4-2 going into the sev- j
enth. Then a walk, two hits and two
errors chased Cliff Melton and gave
the Padres four runs. They scored
twice again and survived the Seals’
three-run rally in the ninth to widen ,
their third-place margin to 2'- ,
games. Roy Welmaker was the win
ner. Dino Restelli homered for the
Seals.
Ben Wade, Hollywood right
hander, limited the Rainiers to five
hits. No Seattle baserunner reached
third and Wade granted only one
safety in the last five innings. Vern
Kindsfather was the loser.
Los Angeles and Sacramento
opened up a series with only sev
enth and eighth place involved and
the fans came out acocrdingly, 1,166
of them. It was the poorest turnout
of the year. Angel Frank Marino re
tired the first 15 batters to face him.
but finally yielded five hits, two of
them homers by Herm Heich and
Ralph Hodgin. The Angels clubbed
Bob Gillespie and Jess Dobernic for
11 safeties.
