SACS EDGE
SEATTLE IN
2-1 GAME
(By the Associated Press)
One of the loosest—and most pro
ductive—swings in the Pacific Coast
League belongs to San Diego'*
swifel-jointed outfielder, Harry
Simpson.
Harry — better known as “Suit
case”—levels on a ball in a manner
reminiscent of former Coast League
greats Earl Averill and Ted Wil
liams. Last night he cannonaded a
single, double and his 22nd homer
to drive in four runs in the Padres'
7-2 win over Portland.
That enabled San Diego to remain
seven games behind pace-setting
Oakland, which walloped San Fran
cisco, 11-4. Los Angeles dropped
Hollywood deeper into third place
with a 5-1 trimming, and Sacra
mento edged Seattle, 2-1, on Nick
Ouchock’s pair of homers.
A1 Olsen pitched a six-hitter
against Portland, for his 16th victory
and the Padres’ ninth in a row.
Simpson’s stickwork made it easy.
Since last Saturday, the lanky
flyhawk has made 11 hits in 17 trips,
pulling his average up from .310 to
.229. His runs batted in total of 98
makes him a real contender for hon
ors there. Only 24, Simpson seems a
cinch to join Larry Doby and Luke
Easter as favorites of Cleveland’s
Central Avenue. He’s the Indians’
property.
Roy Zimmerman blasted five
singles ip six trips, pacing Oakland’s
21-hit barrage against the Seals.
Earl Harrist spaced 10 hits for the
win, with Les Fleming getting a
two-run homer.
The home run hero, however, was
Couchock, who blasted one in the
seventh to break a scoreless tie. His
f econd in the ninth inning gave
Sacramento’s Red Evans, a four-hit
I wirier, the insurance he needed, be
cause pinchhitter A1 Lyons blasted
one out of the park for Seattle in
the last half of the frame. Hector
j Brown lost the duel.

TWO IN ROW
FROM BRAVES
iBy the Associated Press)
Loquacious Paul (Call Me Dizzy'
Trout, the Hoosier nobody wanted
in 1949, is keeping the Detroit Tigers
on top in the chase for the Ameri
can League pennant.
Currently the hottest pitcher in
the loop, the oldest player on the
Detroit Tiger squad is in line for
"comeback of the year" honors in
the majors.
The 35-year-old righthander from
Sandcutt, Ind., relegated to the bull
pen throughout the '49 season and
the early part of the '50 campaign,
today boasts a 10-2 won and lost
record. A newly developed fork ball
has helped him.
Old Diz gained his 10th triumph
last night when he pitched and bat
ted the Tigers to a 6-2 victory over
the Chicago White Sox. It was his
sixth consecutive win and the fifth
straight time he went the distance.
It was an important victory for
the Tigers since Cleveland and Bos
ton each swept doubleheaders and
the New York Yankees defeated
Washington.
The Indians received excellent
pitching from Jesse Flores and Mike
Garcia as they defeated the St.
Louis Browns, 2-0 and 2-1. The Red
Eox pounded out 11-3 and 12-7 ver
dicts over the Philadelphia Ath
letics. The Yankees won, 9-4.
Phillies Beat Braves 5-1
Philadelphia’s runaway Phillies
widened their National League mar
gin to seven games over Boston,
setting back Vern (No-Hit) Bickford
and the Braves, 5-1. The New York
Giants mauled the Brooklyn Dodg
ers, 16-7. Pittsburgh handed the
St. Louis Cards their fourth straight
defeat, 5-3. Chicago’s Cubs earned
a 12-inning 4-3 win over Cincinnati.
Trout not only held the White Sox
to five hits, but highlighted De
troit’s six-run second inning with a
single that scored two mates. A
crowd of 50,262 saw him score what
proved to be the winning run.
Bobby Doerr batted in seven runs,
five in the first game as the Red
Sox made it 18 consecutive Fenway
Park victories over the A’s who
haven’t won there since Sept. 12,
1948. One of Doerr’s four hits was
a grand slam homer.
Robin Roberts pitched a three
hitter for the Phillies to register his
16th victory. Richie Ashburn rapped
three hits for the Phils. Bickford,
who pitched a no-hitter in his last
outing, allowed 11 hits.
A nine-run first inning by the
Giants finished the Dodgers. Before
it was over Hank Thompson had
f mashed two inside-the-park homers
and Don Mueller had hit a grand
■slammer for the winners. Sal Mag
lie racked up his sixth straight win.
Ralph Kiner hit his 34th homer
of the year with a man on to help
Pittsburgh whip the Redbirds.
