RAINIER! !
RETURN TO
4TH PLACE
(By Associated Press)
They’re still playing baseball in
the Pacific Coast League these days
but an astonishingly few people are
seeing it in person.
Overseers of the cash registers
must be moaning low, indeed, today
at three parks and can't be too ov
erjoyed at the fourth. Leaving the
reasons to the ball club officials—
television, the long-drawn-out sched
ule, advance of football into the
baseball season or whatever—here
are the dismal statistics:
First place Oakland beat second
place San Diego 17-6 before 5,315
fans last night, more than twice as
many as appeared in the other three
parks combined.
The others: 561 fans at Sacramen
to where third place Hollywood lost
to the tail-end Solons, 5-4 in 13 in
nings; 675 at Los Angeles where
Portland beat the Angels, 3-1, anc
1,391 at San Francisco, where in ar
afternoon game Seattle regained
fourth place from the Seals, winning
4-2. Total for the three parks, 2,127
The night before San Diego had
5,809 fans; San Francisco 1,496, Lo:
Angeles 842 and Sacramento 835.
These are the smallest crowds at
Sacramento in seven years.
The Oakland slaughter was a 24
hit attack against five Padre pit
chers. The Oaks had an 8-3 lead
after three innings, then paraded
15 men to the plate in the ninth
for nine more runs. ,
In the Sacramento marathor
Steve Souchock got his fifth hit it
the 13th, stole second and scored
the winning run on John Lucadello’s
long single to right field. The scrap
was tied 3-3 in the ninth and 4-4 in ]
the 10th. ]
The see-saw at San Francisco saw |
Seal pitcher Cliff Melton make a I
valiant effort, holding Seattle to
six hits and driving in his team’s
two runs with a hit in the second.
But Seattle tied it in the fourth and
went ahead on A1 Lyons’ walloper
over the center field wall in the
sixth.
Portland and Los Angeles split
eight hits apiece but Portland led
all the way with two runs in the
first and another in the second. The
Angels scored their first run in 15 in
nings when Frank Baumholtz
and Clarence Maddern singled in
the sixth.

Two world series veterans, Hal ,
Newhouser and Vic Raschi, went!
to the firing line today as the De- i
troit Tigers and New York Yankees ■
opened a three-game series in De- !
troit with the lead in the American
League pennant fight at stake. j
Newhouser, 29-year-old southpaw !
bellwether of the Tiger staff fof
years, was given the assignment to
protect the Tigers' half-game lead
over the defending world champions.!
Manager Casey Stengel of the'
Yankees, figuring to get the jump in
the vital series, nominated his right
hand ace, winner of 19 games.
Boston, the third member in the
tight stretch run, sought to prosper
at the expense of the seventh-place
St. Louis Browns.
The Red Sox openpd a three-game
series in St. Louis but discovered
instead of pushovers, a team that is i
pushing back. Tire Browns have j
wont seven straight, including four |
over the Cleveland Indians.

Newhouser, who has won 14 games,,
has beaten the yanks only once and j
lost three times.
Raschie, who will be gunning for
his sixth straight victory, has split
four decisions with the Detroiters.
The Tigers have treated the Yanks
roughly so far in Briggs Stadium,
winning six out of eight games.
Detroit and New York tuned up
with victories yesterday. The Tiger,
stopped the Washington Senators,
6-1. while the Yanks beat the Cleve
land Indians, 10-3. The Red Sox
were not scheduled.
Fred Hutchinson, with help in the
eighth from Ted Gray, won his 16th
victory for the Tigers.
Three Errors
Three Cleveland errors along with
some lusty hitting by Yoggi Berra
allowed the Yanks to breeze to vic
; tory in Cleveland. Berra rapped out
1 his 22nd homer and two singles
drove in two runs and scored four.
Ed Lopat received credit for his 17th
victory. Bob Lemon, 20-game winner,
opened for Cleveland but suffered
his 11th defeat.
Luke Easter of the Indians poled a
463-foot home run in the sixth for
! his 25th.
The Browns edged the Philadel
phia Athletics, ,5-4, on Ken Woods’
ninth inning homer in the other
1 American League game.
National League
The big news in the National
; League was the end of New York
Giant righthander Sal Maglie’s con
secutive scoreless inning streak at
45. The string came to an end as
the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, 3-1, in a game called after
seven innings because of rain. The
scheduled second game also was
rained out.
Rookie outfielder Gus Bell ruined
the Mag-lie spell with a home run
in the seventh inning. The ball hit
the screen bordering the rightfield
foul pole, 257 feet from home plate.
Maglie now has won 11 straight
and has a 16-3 record for the sea
son.
The Boston Braves remained a
half game ahead of the fourth place
Giants by downing the Chicago
Cubs. 5-2, in a night game.
Scheduled games between Cincin
nati and Brooklyn and St. Louis and
Philadelphia were rained out.
15TH ROUND
K. 0. SAVES
JAKE'S TITLE
(By Jack Hand)
DETROIT. Sept, 14—(.B—Sugar
Ray Robin on is next for middle
weight champion Jake Lamotta af
ter his dramatic 15th round knock
out of challenger Laurent Dautli
uille with only 13 seconds to go.
But for a savage closing rally that
snatched victory from defeat last
night, the well-tamed Bronx Bu!l
would be worrying about a return
with Dauthuillfc—not Robinson.
Trailing on the cards of all three
officials and just about all the
working press, Jake barely saved hi
title. It was a heartbreaking defeat
for the game Frenchman who. just
missed avenging the late Marcel
Cerdan. After it was over the 11 to
5 underdog sat in the dressing room
with tears streaming from his eyes.
There will be long debates why
the Frenchman didn’t play it safe
in the final tjoun'd. All he had to do
was stab at Lamotta’s nearly-closed
left eye and stay away. He would
have won back for France the
championship that Lamotta wrested
from an injured Cerdan in the same
city 15 months ago.
FIGHT DOPE
Outcome of fights last night are
as follows:
DETROIT—Middleweight cham
pion Jake Lamotta, 159’j, New York
knocked out Laurent Dauthuille,
160, France (15).
TORONTO—Art King, 140, Phil

TWO OUT OF THREE
FALLS WINS MATCH
FOR WRESTLER CHAMP
_ I
1
Before an unresponsive crowd in !
a trictly no-grudge match, Clara
Mortensen took two out of three
tails from Lindy Lawrence last night
in the challenge wrestling match j
to retain her women’s world light
weight wrestling title. The' match,*
v i held in the Twentieth Century
Theatre.
Mortensen threw Lawrence for j
the first fall with a body slam front
a pin at the end of 13 minutes 20 '
fronds,
Lawrence, more aggressive of the ,
two, tired under the stamina of her j
pponent. She was the more showy i
l ihe two starting oft with a reverse I
i t lock on Mortensen. Toward the I
first fall mark, Lawrence had a \
;■ ate vino hold that had to be j
broken when Mortensen pulled her- ,
i i part of the way through the
ropes. *
Bouncing Mortensen off the ropes I
.wcral times and throwing her to j
•he mat with a body slant from a
head hold, Lawrence got the second!
leil in cnc minute 10 seconds. ■
Be ween the second and third falls, j
die wrestlers were separated several J
times w hen one or the other worked
out on to the apron. Mortensen was |
the first to have a hold broken by
crawling out into the safety zone.
Possibly the high point of the match i
came with Lawrence breaking a
head scissor hold of Mortensen’s
with one of her own.
Tlie two wrestlers soon went into
a double head scissors with Law-1
rence taking a count of five on the j
apron. She soon hit Mortensen with ’
a spread eagle which was broken
on the apron causing the crowd to
boo. Lawrence then quickly pushed
Mortensen into a corner where the '
latter applied a body scissor that j
was broken by a hit to the mid- !
section.
Mortensen took the third and!
last fall by a body slam from a spin J
at the end of 16 minutes 20 se- i
conds. I
Referee for the match was Doug- j
las Gray while Vernon Metcalfe was :
master of ceremonies.
Proceeding the wrestling match.'
Fenton “Bill" Willman entertained
the audience with a few rope tricks
and a fire eating stunt. In and out
of the entertainment world vaude
ville to circus life, the showman's
stunts pleased the audience.
