Schmee's the
Boy for Stars;
Stars Un-slump
By the Associated Press
Pacific Coast League clubs wind
up another series tonight, and
Hollywood fans will be paying par
ticular attention to the activities
of outfielder George Schmees.
The Hollywoods, who play lowly
San Francisco once more at home
before resuming the hostilities Fri
day at Seals Stadium, are back in
stride after their slump last week—
all due mainly to Mr. Schmees.
Big George leads the club in vir
tually every department you can
think of—hits, home runs, triples,
doubles, runs batted in, and stolen
bases.
The saying around Gilmore Field
this week has been "Let George do
it.” Last night, George certainly
did. He drove in six runs, boosting
his season RBI total to 85, as the
Twinks dispatched San Francisco,
12-2.
Seven of the runs came in the
second frame, Hollywood’s fattest
single inning this year.
The victory brought the Stars no
closer to first place, however, be
1 cause Seattle dusted off Sacramento
5-2, behind Skinny Brown’s five
hit pitching. Joe Gordon, Sacra
mento’s manager, walloped his 35th
homer of the campaign to spoil
Brown’s shutout in the eighth.
Brown retired 17 Solons in order
between the first and seventh in
nings as the Rainiers maintained
their five game hold on first place.
The defeat, combined with Oak
land’s 2-1 triumph over Los An
geles, dropped Sacramento into fifth
place.
A1 Olsen southpawed a nifty four
hitter as San Diego shut out Port
land, 2-0.

Looks Lucious
To Indians
Red Sox Lose Garter
Belt; Leader's Pate
Endangered by Cleveland
By the Associated Press
Cleveland’s onrushing Indians
loomed today as the chief threat to
New York’s hopes of retaining the
American League crown now that
Boston’s Bed Sox are showing signs
of losing their magic touch at Fen
way Park.
Continuing to rebound from two
straight lickings at Yankee Stadium,
the Indians last night made it four
victories in their last five games by
conquering the Senators in Wash
ington, 5-3.
The triumph gave the Tribe un
disputed possession of second
place, two games behind the idle
Yankees and one in front of the
third place Red Sox.
The Red Sox. in absorbing a
shocking 8-6 setback at the hards
of the lowly St. Louis Browns, now
have lost four out of seven since
returning to Fenway Park.
Chicago’s first half season
continued to plunge downward,
dropping a 4-2 decision to the Phila
delphia Athletics. The defeat, the
10th in their last 11 games, dropped
the fourth place White Sox a dis
couraging seven and a half games
behind the idle Yankees.'
The arrival of August finds the
Brooklyn Dodgers sailing along
serenely with a nine and a half
game advantage in what is laugh
ingly called the National League
Pennant race. The runaway
Dodgers ran their victory skein
to 10 in a row with an 8-3 win in
Pittsburgh.
New York’s runner-up Giants kept
pace with a 4-3 victory in Chicago.
Philadelphia’s defending champion
Phillies swept past St. Louis into
third place with a 7-5 triumph in
Cincinnati while the Boston Braves
were shutting out the Cardinals, 6-0.
Bob Feller, baseball’s biggest win
ner, notched his 16th triumph as
the Indians rallied for three runs
in the top of the ninth to overcome
a 3-2 Washington lead.
Jim Hegan doubled, Barney Mc
Cosky walked and Dale Mitchell tied
the score with a single to center.
Bobby Avila then drove in McCosky
and Mitchell with another single.
Avila also drove in Cleveland’s first
two runs with a fifth inning one
baser.
Two big innings — a three-run
fifth and a four-run Seventh —
helped the Brow’ns to victory over
the Red Sox.
Ned Garver, Brownie ace, ap
peared on the way to his 14th
victory but was forced to leave in
the fifth inning after pulling a
muscle in his left leg. Satchell
Paige, who took over, picked up
the victory although he was shel
led in a three-run eighth.
Hank Majeski, obtained from
Chicago in a mid-season deal, paced
the Athletics to their win over the
White Sox. The slugging third base
man made three of Philadelphia’s
eight hits, scored three runs and
homered against his former mates.
Don Newcombe hurled his 15th
win for Brooklyn.
Baseball Men at Hearing
Ford Frick (left), president of the National League, and Ty Cobb

whether organized baseball is operating within the anti-trust laws
or whether the game should be exempted from monopoly curbs by
special Igislation. Frick and Cobb are witnesses. i/P) Wirephoto.
