¥ | | FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1948 | i t it. 1 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Re Big League Baseball 3 Yesterda By BEN PHLEG The magic touch of Bifty South- worth is working wonders on still another ball player, pitcher Bill Volselle. : The once disgruntled curve baller of New York Giants has turned into Boston Braves' biggest winner un- der. the patient guidance of Boston Voiselle broke in with the Giants in 1944 by winning 21 games. The . next June he was fined $500 by Manager Mel Ott for grooving a pitch to Johnny Hopp, then with St. Louis Cardinals. "That fine, which I felt was un- justified, seemed to take everything out of me," Voiselle said, He fin- ished 19045 with a 14-14 record, then slipped to 9-15 in 1046. Last year he'd won only once while losing four when the Giants swapped him and cash for pitcher Mort Cooper. He righted himself almost at once and won eight while losing seven for the Braves. This season he's won seven and lost Two of those victories came yes- terday against Chicago Cubs Véis- elle relieved Warren Spahn in the second inning of the first game: of a twin bill. The Braves trailed 5-0, but' went on to win, 7-6. Then in the nightcap he was called upon in the ninth with the score tied, 7-7. Boston won in the last half with a run. The pair of triumphs gave Boston undisputed possession of first place in the National League, a half game ahead of Pittsburgh. The Pirates took the measure of New York Giants, 9-8, Despite four New York home runs. They came Mrom behind on a homer by Ed vens with two aboard in the seventh, ' Giants homers were by Johnny Mize, Bill Rigney, Willard Marshall and Bobby Thomson. Stan Musial feasted on Philadel- phia pitching as St. Louis Cardin- als whipped the Phillies, 4-1. Musial had a triple and two singles to boost his season's average to .398. Harry Brecheen was the winner. Cincinnati beat Brooklyn 5-3 in the other National League game. Cleveland's front-running Indi- ans suffered their fourth straight loss, this time to Boston, 8-6. The Jacians stayed in the game until sixth when Dom DiMaggio put tne Red Sox ahead to stay with a home rin. Ken Keltner hit his 16th home run for Cleveland. Philadelphia Athletics advanced , oto within two games of the Indians | Montreal Newark by defeating Detroit 5-2. Carl Scheib, who gave up six hits, was the winner with Dizzy Trout being charged with the loss. Major League Leaders By The Associated Press AMERICAN LEAGUE Runs batted in--Willlams, Boston, 58.

The Legion team, plus a few new recruits, took on a more powerful form than usual, and they gave the Milkmen a hitting time of it 'all night long. ¥ Ron Fallman was the 'pitcher fos the Legion team, and also their big- gest hitter, he being placed inthe clean-up slot. His four-for-five average on the night's play showed that he certainly deserved that place. "Bunt" Marsh was Beaton's choice of pitchers, and he was doing not too badly till his infield started to fall to /pleces under the steady hitting of the Legion crew. That was when the run started to pour across the plate. Legion clicked for three runs in the top of the. first, with McTag- gart's double sparking the rally. Beaton's tried hard to get the equal- izers in the last of that frame, but with Fallman in anon-hitting mood, the batsmen could do no better than get a walk and one run. Legion made it 5-1 in the top of the third on Fallman's big triple in- to right field, Hugh McClelland got one of those back in the last of the fourth with a home-run down the first base line. Legion added single runs in the fourth and fifth, and then blew the pot open with two runs in the sixth and three more in the seventf:, Bea- ton's made answer with two runs in the sixth and one more in the sev- enth. When the game finally came to an end it saw the Beaton's team grad- ually gaining strength at bat as Fallman grew tired of throwing his "high hard one" down the alley. Some of the heavy hitters for Beaton's were McClelland, John- stone and Tullock, while Fallman, McTaggart and McDougall fel] un- Ser this heading on the Legion ros- er.

Harmon Parkers Edge Rockets In Pee-Wee Tussle Harmon Park Pee Wees won a neat 6-4 decision from the Victory Rockets last night at Harmon Park. The game was smartly played, with both sides turning in some very good infield play. O'Reilly was the pitcher for the Harmon Park squad, and with his pitching scattering the hits effectively later in the game, the Rockets were unable to get the equalizers to make up for a two- run splurge by the enemy in the last of the sixth. Rockets took the lead in the sec- ond frame with two runs. armon Park got one back in the last of the inning, and then slapped home three big runs in the last of the riext frame to take the lead them- selves. This lead they never relin- quished. Rockets scored single runs in the fifth and sixth to tie the count, but could find no answer to that two-run splurge in the last of the sixth. Frane's homer was the big blow for Rockets, while Norman's similar blow for the Harmon Park squad was their big hit, HARMON PARK: Germond, cf; O'Reilly, p; Thorten, rf; Norman, 2b; Thortone, ss; Palker, lb; Schan- ski, c; Sager, If; Chappell, 3b; and Homes, rf in 4th.

Ed Sanicki of Toronto hit two home runs, each time with a mate ahoard. Stan Lopata of the Leafs homered with two aboard and also had a double and a single as Toronto whipped the Orioles, 11-7, Home runs by Clyde Vollmer and Austin Knickerbocker helped Syra- cuse to an 8-7 victory over Mont- real at Syracuse. The Newark-Rochester game looked like a contest to see which side could make the most errors. Newark made six and Rochester four, but the Bears won the game, 10-4, The victory moved Newark to within one game of first place. STORIE PARKERS WIN TIGHT ONE FROM JACK'S BAR Coming from behind in the last of the sixth inning, Storie Park Juveniles handed Jack's Lunch a 14-12 trimming at Alexandra Park last night. Both teams played pretty much the same brand of ball, with the pitching on neither side standing up to much. Wilson started for Jack's Lunch, but had to be relieved by Beaton in the sixth inning when he gave up those tying runs. Barta went the whole route for the Storie Park squad, and was full value for his win, making a bril- liant return to form in the last two innings to stave off any attempt by the Lunch team to get back into the running. Jack's took the lead in the top of the second on four runs. Storie Park lopped two runs off that lead in the last of the second, and after Jack's had. added two runs to their total in the top of third, they came back with a three runs rally to make the score 6-5. Jack's took command of the situa- tion then for the next few frames, and managed to get a 8-5 lead be- fore Storie Park did anything. Came the last of the sixth, with a three runs rally and Storie Park had tied the count. They then took the offensive, and counted twice to Jack's once in the seventh to give them a one run lead, and then a single run in the last of the eighth, made the final score 14-12 with no reply from Jack's Lunch in the top of the ninth. Maddock and Farrow led the Jack's Lunch hitters, while Mar- shall and Tonkin were best men at the plate for the.boys from Storie Park, JACK'S LUNCH -- Willlam, ¢; Bannon, ss; Solomon, 1b; Wilson, Maddock, cf; Johnston, rf; Farrow, If; Wilson, p; Mackness, 2b; and Beaton, p in 6th, STORIE PARK---Marshall, ef; Corse, 3b; Shearer, ss; Durno, 1b; Olesuk, If; Barta, p; Tonkin, J.

THERE IS NO FINER CIGARETTE Spicy Bits 3 From Other Sports Cols. Bn W. R. WHEATLEY C Press Statf Writer Montreal, June 18--(CP) -- The other day Montreal's city hall folks, led by Councillor Pierre DesMarais talked about honoring Gerard Cote, Canada's. remarkable marathon runner who has justifiable designs on the Olympic marathon champ- fonship. It was a worthy idea to show ap- preciation for the triumphs of the little man from St. Hyacinthe, Que. Then President George Machum of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, stepped in with a warning. Machum said a gift, if any, should be modest and something not out- standing, otherwise Cote's Olympic status might be jeopardized. This put a twist on things that caused Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson-to discover to his "great surprise" that amateurism "is a quality which -can definitely be measured in values of dollars and cents." "It's amateurism based on val- ues. Cote can accept a. small gift, such as .& meaal or, we suppose a ring, and remain 'an amateur. But if the ring should be studded with a large diamond, ot' a ruby, or an em- erald, he would, no doubt, be declar- ed a professional because jewels of this sort have a high monetary val- ue. "President -Machum's warning is doubtless quite logical, considering that the sinister shadow of Brund- age hovers over the entire Olympic scent and his warning in the case of Barbara Ann's automobile is still too fresh in the minds of sports leaders to be ignored." Fergy suggests the city and the Montreal Athletic Commission make a "liberal donation to help finance Cote overseas." Baz . (Montreal Star) finds sensible two: suggestions made by Machum; that Cote be honored after the games, whether he wins or loses,. and that a Gerard Cote MILLS MOTORS NIP COLLAGUITS IN PEPPY TILT Mills Motors Sales won the big game of their career thus far this| season, wnen they nbsed out the Collacutt Juveniles by the score of 9-6 at Victory Park. Glenn McLaugalin did the chuck- ing for the Milis teain, and he was in for a hitting when the Collacutts team came to the plate. He allowed ten hits, but steaaied down in the last half of the game which was lucky for hin as Seles was touched for the winning runs late in the game, and his mates couldn't hit McLaughlin then. The busmen took the lead in the last. of third, when they pushed across the first runs of the game, 'A double by Tippett, and singles by Jeffs and Maclnnally pushed the runners around till two had crossed the platter, Collacutts were not content even with this lead though, and so in the last of the fourth they counted four runs when Locke came through with a triple with two men on base. Mills Motors answer came in the minute form of Dick Scuik, who is proving to be a valuable acquisition to his team. He stepped up to the plate in his team's half of the fifth and slapped out a homer. There were two men on base at the time he clouted this blow, and with two other runs collected off singles, Mills counted five runs in all that inning. That made the score 6-5. The busmen made no more rallies, and so Mills Motors went ahead to win the game with a single run in the sixth, and three runs in the top of the ninth, Sculk was biggest hitter of the night for both teams.

Sports Roundup | Crenloch, N.J.,, Juné 18--(AP) -- The most frequent exclamation you heard esterday while Jersey Joe Walcott was drilling for his coming fight with Joe Louis was: "He wouldn't do that with Louis in there." , . . There are two explana- tions: One that t..> workout was attended by about 50 boxing wri- ters, hailing from all parts of this country as well as England and Au- sralia; the other that Jersey Joe obviously was just rehearsing his moves and wasn't being too careful. Getting The Chill Two boxing commissioners, Abe Greene of New Jersey and Leon Raines of Pennsylvania, were among the spectators . . . they agreed thal Walcott has a good chance of lift- ing the title. Greene: "Walcott is i good men- tal condition as well as physical condition." Raines: "Yes, and when fighters think they win, they usually can fight like anything." Greene® "He wasn't afraid of Louis the first time; he didn't freeze up. There's no reason why he should freeze this time." Higher Learning Walcott is having a small diffi- culty in his large family . . . His eldest son, Arnold Cream, Jr., wants to be a lawyer, which is okay with Joe . . . But the youngest wants to be a fighter like his dad . .. Hear- ing about this, Dumb Dan Morgan contributed the question: "Why is it that as soon as a fighter makes money, he wants to send his kids to college and make dummies of them? I never yet saw a college boy who was smart enough to fight." From Hunger For years experts have claimed it takes a "hungry" fighter to win and Walcott still may qualify although he now has what it takes to buy pork chops for the kids . . . Guys who have been around fight camps for years claim he's the lightest eat- er of any heavyweight they ever saw . . . A sample menu; juice, prunes, cereal, one piece of toast and tea for breakfast; a quarter head | of lettuce, a medium-sized portion of meat and vegetables, two slices of toast and stewed fruit for dinner--his only other meal. VETERAN'S TAXI WHIP SMOKEY'S BY BIG COUNT Veterans Taxi won another one- sided game last night at Connaught Park when they defeated Smokeys by the score of 18-8. It wasn't that the game was nice to watch, after the first ining, for it was. But, oh that first inning! That was when the Cab team scor- ed ten runs. Gord Myles went the route for the Cabbies, and if it hadn't been for that early lead by his team- mates it seems likely that he would have been in deep trouble. Moss was the chucker for the los ers, and again if it hadn't been for that horrible first inning, he would have had a win under his belt for his team was strong for the rest of the tilt and even went so far as to count seven runs in one inning, Trimm and George hit homers in that fruitful first inning rally, each with men on base. Nine singles also helped shove men around the base- paths till all ten had slipped over the home-plate. Smokeys got one run back in the last of the second, and then scored seven runs in their half of the fourth to make the score read 11-8, Veterans Cab were not halted in their. scoring after that though, and they went ahead and counted single runs in the top of the fifth and ninth, with a two-run rally in the sixth, and a three-run rally in the seventh. That made the final score 18-8 with Smith, Game and George be- ing the big hitters on the Cabbies roster.
