j
FOUR GAMES
ARE WON IN
LAST FRAME
(By Jim Mubbart)
i The Seattle Rainiers are out of
1 the Pacific .Coast League’s first di
vision today, following a night of
hostilities in, which all four games
were decided in the last inning.
The heroes of the evening were
Frankie Kelleher of Hollywood,
Harvey Storey of San Diego, Frank
Austin of Portland and Jim West
lake of San Francisco.
Westlake, up from Yakima's
Western International League club,
stepped up as a pinch hitter in the
ninth frame of the Seattle-San
Francisco contest and doubled two
runs across to give the Seals a 5 to
4 triumph. It moved San Francisco
into fourth place and dropped the
Rainiers into fifth.
Kelleher broke up a pitching duel
between Hollywood's Ben Wade and
, Sacramento’s Glenn Elliott. Also in
the ninth, Kelleher drilled his 30th
home run of the year to give the
Stars a 1 to 0 victory over the
Solons.
Story’s two bagger in ‘the ninth
inning scored Suitcase Simpson with
the run that gave San Diego a 3 to 2
conquest of the pace setting Oak
land acorns.
Austin produced the most climac
tic wallop of all. His roundtripper
broke up an 11-inning ball game at
Los Angeles and gave Portland a 4
to 2 victory. Austin connected on the
first pitch with one away and one
on. It was Portland’s sixth straight
win and loss No. 5 for the Angels.
The attendance slump continued
unabated last night. Los Angeles,
the league’s largest city, drew only
802 customers to Wrigley Field. Sac
ramento had 837, San Francisco
1140. San Diego had the largest
turnout with 4316 fans.
What’s the lowest attendance on
record? Well, in 1905 only one man
showed up for a Portland-Oakland
game. Nobody ever bothered to get
his name.

TWO PROS
WIN FOR
YANKEES
By Associated Press)
A couple of old pros, Joe DiMaggio
and Johnny Mize, are nobly carry
ing on the New York tradition of
winning the clutch games.
These two veterans, both in their
12th seasons, are supplying the
power that has propelled the Yank
ees to the front in the ding dong
American League pennant fight.
DiMaggio and Mize powered time
ly home runs yesterday to lead the
Bombers to a 7-5 victory over the
Tigers in the opening game of their
vital three-game series at Detroit.
The ‘’jump" triumph moved the
world champions to the head of the
class with a half-game edge.
The Tigers, fell back to second
while the surge of the Boston Red
Sox was derailed temporarily in
St. Louis by the upstart, Browns,
who now have won eight in a row.
The Browns polished off Tom Yawk
ey’s gold-plated boys, 6-3. The Sox
now trail by two games.
Hal Newhouser started against the
Yanks Vc Raschi yesterday.
Detroit plucked Raschi for four
runs in the opening inning as they
put toge'her three singles, three
walks and a fly ball, but then the
old pros started to operate.
Two Homers Swatted
DiMaggio led off the second inning
with his 29th homer. Hank Bauer
walked. Mize followed with his 20th
round-tripper, and the Yanks were
back in business. They tied the score
at 4-4 w’ith a run in the third and
pushed two more across in the
fourth to take the lead for keeps.
Dick Starr, a former Yankee, stun
ned the Red Sox with a neat seven
hitter under the lights at St. Louis.
The Browns broke a 2-2 tie with
three runs in the sixth inning and
were never headed.
Dick Kokos began the winning
I rally with a double.
I The Chicgao White Sox turned
back the Philadelphia Athletics, 5-2,
in the only other American League
game. Washington and Cleveland
were rained out.
National League
The Philadelphia Phillies conunu
I ed their march to the National
League pennant by ed'/ng the St.
| Louis Cardinals, 3-2, in a night game
in Philadelphia, Willie Jones sing
led home Ed Waitkus from third
base with two out in the ninth in
ning to win the game.
The Phils’ lead, however, was re
duced to six games as the runner
up Brooklyn Dodgers took a double
header from the Cincinnati Reds,
6-3 and 5-2.
Home runs by Gil Hodges, Billy
Cox, Bruce Edwards and Carl Fur
illo featured the first-game victory.
The New York Giants split a
doublheader with the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, winning the second game, 6-1,
behind the six-hit pitching of Jim
Hearn after losin gthe opener, 7-1.
