Rainiers Take
To Hoad After
Battling Solons
Important 10-Game
Road Trek May Decide
How Suds Head Up
By the Associated Press
Seattle's Coast League leading
Rainiers will try to put a little
extra air in their tires, starling to
night, before talcing off on thcii
most important road trip of the
season.
The Rainiers host Sacramento in
the opener of a four-game series,
hoping to pad their five-game lead.
Rogers Hornsby’s hungry horde then
will descend on Los Angeles and
Hollywood for a 10-game stand that
should just about decide the 1951
pennant : ace.
As a matter of record, the Suds
may have more trouble with Sac
ramento than with the third-place
Angels or runnerup Stars. The
Sacs have won nine of the 19
games played with Seattle this
year, the closest any club in the
league has come to breaking evc i
with the pacesetters.
( The Suds have taken 11 out of 18
from Hollywood, 10 of 14 against Los
Angeles. They’ll meet the Angels
in a five-game series starting Sat
urday, then follow' next week with
five at Hollywood.
Hollywood’s Pinky Woods <12-S>,
back in the good graces of manager
Fred Haney after a sore arm inci
dent, has been named to start for
the Stars at Oakland. The Oaks
will counter with slow-stuff Red
Hardy (2-1).
Musial, Hilling .368,
Top National Bailer
NEW YORK, Aug. 14—^—Unless
Stan Musial falls into a horrible
slump, the St. Louis Cardinal slug
ger seems headed for his fifth Na
tional League batting title.
With seven weeks to play, Mu
sial held a 19-point lead on runnerup
Richie Ashburn of the Phils ac
cording to averages including Sun
day’s games. Musial was hitting
.368, Ashburn .349. A week ago Ash
burn was only 13 points back. Jackie
Robinson of Brooklyn, another con
tender, was third at .344, 24 points
behind ‘ The Man.”
Roy Campanella of Brooklyn
edged up on the leaders with a sen
sational performance. Four of his
nine hits for the week were home
• runs. Campanella's average soared
to .334.
Johnny Wyrostek of Cincinnati
dropped off seven points to .321 for
fifth place. Only newcomer in the
top 10 was Harry Lowrey of St.
Louis, tenth at .310.
Minoso of While
Sox Still Tops
In Batting Ranks
CHICAGO, Aug. 14—4*1—Orestes
Minoso of the Chicago White Sox
is still the hitter to beat in the
American League batting race.
Although the fleet Cuban Negro
clumped two points last week xo .342
1 with nine hits in 29 trips, he re
1 mained eight points ahead of in
jured Ferris Fain of Philadelphia,
who had an unchanged .334.
Among Minoso’s active pursuers,
closest through Sunday’s play was
Detroit’s George Kell with .331.
Bobby Avila of Cleveland moved
into the fourth spot with .327, one
‘ point ahead of Boston’s Ted Wil
liams. Gil Coan of Washington,
fourth last week, continued his
slump — dropping nine points to
a sixth-spot .322.
Other leaders were Gil McDon
ald of New York. .310; Nellie Fox,
Chicago, .309; Dom DiMaggio, Bos
ton, .304; and Johnny Pesky, Bos
ton, .302.

Toward Home
Tribe Takes 11th Scalp
In Row; "We're On Our
Way," Says Lopez
Bv the Associated Press
Cleveland’s onrushing Indians
continue to whiz by all opposition
as the "Lopez Limited” speeds
steadily toward its destination —
Pennantville.
Manager A1 Lopez’ Tribe won
again las<, night, defeating Detroit,
2-1. The win increases Cleveland’s
first place margin over the runnerup
New York Yankees in the American
League to two and a half game?
as Philadelphia shellacked the
Bronxites for the third straight
time, 16-3.
It stretched the Tribe’s winning
streak to 11 straight, only two
short of the rlub’s all-time re
cord of 13 accomplished in 1912.
It marked the 19th triumph for
Bob Feller, who celebrated a “night”
in his honor by limiting the Tigers
to seven hits.
It was the eighth consecutive
complete job by a Cleveland hurler
and it was the 12th straight game
the Indians held their opposition
to four or less runs. It also was
Cleveland’s 14th win in 15 meetings
with Detroit.
“We’re on our way,” said Lopez.
“I don’t sec how anyone can stop
us now.”
Philadelphia raked four New York
chuckcrs for 18 hits — its season
high — and scored in all but the
first and eighth innings.
In the last three games, the Ath
letics have bombarded 11 Yankee
pitchers for 32 runs and 46 hits.
A three-run homer by Gil Hodges
in the eighth inning gave the
Brooklyn Dodgers a 7-6 victory over
Boston's Braves and left their 12’i
game first place margin intact. The
runner-up New York Giants won
their third straight from Phila
delphia’s Phils, 5-2.
Cincinnati swept a doubleheader
from Pittsburgh, 2-0 alid 7-1. while
Chicago’s Cubs upset the St. Louis
Cardinals, 6-3.
Boston, Washington, St. Louis
and Chicago in the American league
were not scheduled.
