1-0 CONTEST
|
(By Associated Press)
Oakland stretched its Pacific
Coast League to six games over the
weekend, but there's still a month
to go in the marathon season.
The Oaks fattened up on Los An
geles yesterday, 2-0 in 10 innings
and 9-2. The Angels got only five
hits all day, two off George Bam
berger In the first game and three
off Hank Behrman in the seven
inning nightcap.
Due to the whims of the PCL
schedule Oakland and second-place
San Diego face a “crucial’' series
this week at San Diego and another
at Oakland Sept. 26.
San Diego lost ground by split- i
ting yesterday with Sacramento,
winning the first 9-5 and losing
the second 5-3. Portland took two
from Seattle 4-3 and 6-1, pushing
fourth place Seattle down to only
a half game ahead of San Fran
cisco.
The Seals beat Hollywood 1-0 in
17 innings in the first game, the
longest scoreless clash since Portland
required 20 innings to down Sacra
mento 1-0 on May, 7, 1947. The
Stars took the second game yes
terday from San Francisco 4-2.
The longest 1-0 game ever play
ed in* the league was 24 innings
when San Francisco beat Oakland
June 8, 1909.
In yesterday’s humdinger Holly
wood loaded the bases in their half
of the 17th with only one out but
failed to score.
In their half San Francisco’s
Jack Tobin opened with a double
and took third on Jim Moran’s fly ^
to right. Hollywood’s relief pitcher ,
Art Schallock tried to walk Seal j
catcher Harry Eastwood inten- |
uonally, but Eastwood reached j
across the plate and lofted a fly to j
short right field. Tobin slid home
with the ball game just barely
ahead of Johnny Pindell’s throw.
Portland’s hurlers Jack Crenel and
Bil Elbert each went the full route
for their victories. Seattle outhit
the Beavers 11-8 in the first game
but Qreel was tough in the clutch.
Elbert limited Seattle to three hits
in. the nightcap.

SCHWINN BIKES AT MADSEN’S
DIMAGGIO
SWATS OUT
3 HOMERS
(By Associated Press)
The New York Yankees' hopes of
a second straight American League
pennant found a new stimulus today
in the booming bat of Joe DiMag
gio.
The lean Yankee clipper, a great
"climax” performer who dramati
cally fired last year’s “Team of Des
tiny” to the championship, is show
ing signs of doing it again in the
nerve jabbing stretch drive.
DiMaggio created Griffith Stad
ium history yesterday as he smashed
three 400-foot plus home runs into
the left field stands. His blows—
the first time a player has planted
three in the distant tiers in a single
game—brought the Yankees an 8-1
victory over the Senators in the first
half of a doubleheader.
The nightcap was halted in the
fourth inning because of rain with
the Senators ahead. 6-2.
The Yankees edged to within half
a game of the league-leading De
troit Tigers, who split a doublehead
er with the Chicago White Sox. They
also retained their half game edge
over the third place Boston Red
Sox, who turned back their Phila
delphia "cousins," 6-2.
Tigers Win
Lefty Hal Newhouser pitched the
Tigers to a 1-0. twelve-inning vic
tory over Randy Gumpert in the op
ener at Chicago, winning out on a
triple by Hoot Evers and single by
Johnny Groth. The White Sox took
the nightcap, 5-1, behind Ray Scar- j
borough.
A three-run pinch-hit double by
Tom Aright featured a four-run
eighth inning rally that gave the
Red Sox their 22nd consecutive vic
tory over the Athletics at Fenway
Park.
The St. Louis Browns further
dampened Cleveland’s pennant hop
es by a fourth straight victory over
the Tribe, who trail by seven games
National League
In the National League, the Bos
ton Braves defeated the pace-set
ting Philadelphia Phillies, 3-1, in a
game that was called in the sixth
inning because of rain.
The Phils, however, retained their
6'i game bulge over the runnerup
Dodgers as Brooklyn dropped a 6-4
decision to the New York Giants.
St. Louis split a doubleheader with
the Pirates, winning the opener, 6-5,
in ten innings but losing the finale
6-2.
The Cincinnati Reds took a
doubleheader from the Chicago Cubs
12-5 and 2-1.

Yakima in the Western Interna
tional League throne room.
The San Francisco Seal farm
club snatched the league bunting
by a single game Saturday by sweep
ing a twin bill from Victoria 6-3
and 18-3 while Tacoma split with
Vancouver.
The title actually was decided
when Tacoma dropped a 6-5 decision
in 13 innings of the opening clash.
The Tigers fought back to win
the second 7-5 in the bare hope that
Victoria might upset Yakima in the.
finale. They didn’t.
Yakima’s final day comeback was
typical of the entire season. It was
the 10th time since Aug. 13 that the
lead changed hands.
The two leaders monopolized first
place nearly the entire season.
