Big Jim Kon.itanty is runniiv
behind his 1 Pf.O schedule and tin
‘I told you so" choir i- tuning vp.
.They said around the tr inini
camps that Konstnnty, the Phil
relief ace, couldn't possibly repeat
las' year’s success rto far they'r
right. Because lie failed last nieh,
.he St. Louis Cards ride in first
plat* t-oaa>
Kon ianty didn't lose a gam? un
til May 30 last season. Already hi
has lost two and won none. This
ime last year he, had 1-0.
Blit it’s much too early to judge
Failure of Eddie Sawyer’s pitchers
with the exception of Robin Rob
erts. has thrust a heavier burden
m Konstanty. It seems impossible
but he’s working more often than
last year when he made 74 appear
ances.
Last night was his eighth job ir>
18 Phil games. The only time lit
resfs is when Roberts stares.
The eighth inning of last night':
game with ct. Louts brought four
hits, a walk and an error by Del
Ennis, accounting for three runs and
brought in Miio Car.dini to relieve
the reliefer. A fourth run crossed
before the side was out. The fine!
count was 8-4 St. Louis.
But Konstanty’s troubles are on'?
a part of the Phil ;' woes. Catcher
Andy Seminick was hit behind the
left ear by Max Lanier's pitch in
the fourth inning. Carried from the
field and taken to a hospital. Sem
inick soon regained consciousness.
X-r.'ys will determine how long he
will be out.
Four Huns, Two Hits
Branch Rickey's Pirates continued
their sweep through* the east by
ruining the New York Giant three
game win streak, 7-4. After Spider
Jorgensen’s pinch homer tied the
reel"1 in the ninth, the Pirates batted
around in the 10th, scoring four
runs on only two hits. Mel Queen
won his first game.
With Preacher Roe throwing a
six-hitter, the Brooklyn Dodgers
shut out the Cincinnati Reds, 8-0.
Andy Pafko’s homer with the
ba-es leaded paced Chicago’s 9-3
win over the Boston Braves. That
opened the door for St. Louis to
slip past Boston into first place.
Eleven Huns in Ninth
But the big explosion of the day
was in St. Louis where the New
York Yankees scored 11 in the ninth
inning to flatten the Brownies 17-3
The 11 runs were a new league rec
ord for a ninth inning and the
24 total bases in the inning tied the
record.
Gil McDougald hit a grand slam
bomer and a two-run triple in the
ninth inning, tying a modern major
:f\ ,ue record with six runs batted
:n for one inning.
Red sox Wins
Chuck Stobbs got the Boston Red
Sox their first win of the western
.swing with the help of Walt Dropo.
Dr pa car.? off the bench and he
responded with a double and single
to knock in four runs cf the 6-1
edge over Detroit's Ted Gray.
Washington continued to mop up
the west, whacking Chicago, 7-1. to
over the undspuled lead from
idle Cleveland. The Indians and
Philadelphia A’s were not scheduled.
