OAKLAND
WINS BY
BIG SWAT
_ i
Seattle Loses to Hollywood
-San Diego Crushes
• San Francisco
(By the Associated Press)
Augie Galen, always a handy man
to have around on a ball club, dem
onstrated his worth once again last
night as he delivered a three-run
home run that gave the league
leading Oakland Acorns a 7 to 4 win
over Portland.
Portland seemingly had the ball
game won in the seventh, but the
Oaks, who had not been doing much
with Bob Drilling’s slants, suddenly
got the range. They went on to
knot the count at 4-4 in the eighth,
and then Galen poled one out of
the park with two on.
The win kept Oakland three full
games ahead of Hollywood, which
dumped Seattle, 10-2. Los Angeles
nosed out Sacramento, 2 to 1. and
San Diego coasted to a 7 to 1 win
over San Francisco.
Hollywood, home from a disas
trous trip to Oakland, found Seat
tle's pitching very much to its liking.
The Stars nicked four hurlers for
10 hits and three of them were by
the usually light-hitting Johnny
O’Neil, second-string shortstop
O'Neil, subbing for the ailing Buddy
Hicks, batted in four runs.
Glen Moulder went the route for
the Stars and had a shutout until
the eighth, when George Vico poled
a homer with Walt Judnich on base
Skinny Brown, the Seattle starter,
was charged with the defeat.
Los Angeles went ten innings to
defeat Sacramento and accom
plished it with the potent bat of big
Clarence Maddern. The former Cub
went in as a pinch hitter and de
livered a single that scored Frankie
Baumholz. Bob Muncrief, the sharp
curve bailer, notched his tenth vic
tory against nine defeats.
San Diego’s latent power evinced
itself as the Padres crushed San
Francisco. George Zuverink limited
the Seals to six hits.

Three Clubs Are Tied
For First Position in
Malional League Race
(By the Associated Press*
Credit Billy Southworth with ihe
comeback of 1950 whether his Bos
ton Braves win, lose or tie in the
National League race.
A year ago Billy was on the verge
of a breakdown. In mid-August
poor health forced him to leave the
dissension-riddled Braves in charge
of Coach Johnny Cooney. Many
thought he would never come back.
They whispered that his "tem
porary retirement” would be made
permanent during the winter by
action of the "three steamshovels"
who own the Braves. But they were
wrong.
Back came Southworth to assume
command at the winter meetings.
With Billy calling the signals, the
Braves pulled their big player swap
with the New York Giants that*
brought Sid Gordon, Buddy Kerr
and Willard Marshall to Boston.
Braves Hying High
Now his Braves are flying high,
in a triple tie with Philadelphia and
St. Louis in the sizzling pennant
race. It's the first time they've been
on top since the opening week of
I the season.
With Warren Spahn, Johnny Sain
and Vern Bickford working in reg
ular turn, Southworth’s pitching is !
on a high plane. The three of them j
account for 33 of the Braves' 46 j
wins.
Spahn did it again yesterday,
striking out nine Pirates as he mas
tered Pittsburgh for the first time1,
this season, 11-3. It was the 11th
victory for the 29-year-old south
paw.
St. Louis turned Ford Frick's
league into a triple tie by ending
Brooklyn’s surge with a 5-3 victory
behind A1 Brazle’s steady seven-hit
pitching.
Brazle was the second Card
pitcher to go the route against the
Dodgers in 15 games. The Cards
had lost seven in a row to Brooklyn
since June 1 until they shipped Erv
Palica last night.
Phillies, Cubs Split
The Phillies got away with a split
at Chicago, breaking a five-game
losing streak with an 8-3 romp in
the second game of a doubleheader.
The Cubs took the opener, 5-2, with
the help of Bill Serena’s two homers
and Paul Minneh’s syven-hit pitch
ing. Rookie Bubba Church held Chi
cago to five hits in the second game.
Cincinnati made it nine wins in
its last 11 games with a l*-0 ver
dict over the New York Giants on
Virgil Stallcup's third inning homer.
Detroit's American League lead
was cut to 3'_. games at Boston
where the Red Sox outlasted the
Tigers, 12-9 in a slugfest marked
by Vern Stephen's three-run homer
in the first inning.
Billy Goodman collected four hits
off the parade of Detroit pitchers
starting with Freddie Hutchinson,
who fniled to survive the first. The
Red Sox also needed four pitchers
when Ellis Kinder faded in the
seventh.
Two Homers by Mize
Big Jawn Mize hit two homerf
and added 45 points to his batting
average with four hits in New York’s
12-1 slaughter of St. Louis. Mize
went into the game with a .268
average and came out hitting .303.
Bob Lemon became the first ma
jor leaguer to win 14 games but
suffered a hand Injury in the pro- j
cess. The Cleveland aee left the box 1
after he was struck on his right
hand by a line drive off Kermit
Wahl's bat In the seventh inning ot
the Tribe’s 10-2 rout of Philadelphia.
Washington jammed all of its six
hits off Ray Scarborough, an ex
teammate. into the first two in
nings of a 4-2 triumph over Chi
cago.
