SOFTBALL In one bracket of the Pee-Wee girls' semi-final playoffs for the C.R.A. title, High-Hitters defeated Cedar Dale by the score of 14-11 last night at Bathe Park. The girls had a very close game for such a high scoring one, the losers at all times threatening to overtake the High-Hitters and make a win out of the struggle for themselves. Beevor did the chucking for the winners, and allowed the Cedar Dale crew three runs in the first, two in the second, one in the third and fourth and a four-run rally in the last of the sixth. Casey, who was the slab-worker for the losers, was very steady till late, in the game, and then she weakened quite a bit to allow in the winning tallies. High-Hitters scored singletons in the top of the second and third frames, added six-run splurges in the top of the sixth and seventh frames for the win.

Big League _Basehall Yesterday The comeback of Warren Spahn and the ability to win on the road have been primarily responsible for keeping the Boston Braves on top In the five-team pennant race in e National League. No more striking example of this was given than Wednesday night when Spahn hurled the Braves to a 2-0 shutout triumph over the Cardinals in a night game in St. Louis. The victory put the Braves four games ahead of the second- place Dodgers and 4% in front of the Redbirds. Although it was only Spahn's 11th success of the season, it mark- ed the fourth straight time the clever southpaw has turned in a gilt-edged pitching job. Counted upon as a sure-fire 20-game winner early this spring, Spahn got off to a poor start, but has been pitching brilliantly during the last two weeks. Spahn was touched for seven hits, fanned three and gave up two walks. He was superb in the pinches. Cleveland's rebounding Indians regained first place in the torrid American-League . race, pushing Boston Red Sox down into second place with a thorough 9-0 lacing. The defeat dropped the Red Sox half a game behind the tribe. Bob Lemon pitched the Indians back into the lead. He permitted only four hits in scoring his 17th triumph and his eighth shutout of the season. The third-place New York Yan- kees moved within a 12 game of first place, knocking off Chicago White Sox, 8-2. Bob Porterfield, 24- year-old rookie right hander brought up from Newark Aug. 4. pitched seven scoreless innings be- fore being forced out by the ex- cessive heat, Tommy Byrne finished and was clipped for both runs. Freddy Hutchinson gained his fourth' triumph over Philadelphia Athletics, pitching Detroit Tigers to a 10-4 victory. The defeat was Philadelphia's fifth straight and sent the fourth-place Mackmen four games off the pace. Phil Marchildon of Penetan- guishene, Ont., was the loser. Unleashing their biggest attack of the season, Washington Sena- tors hammered out a 14-6 victory over St. Louis Browns to snap a nine-game losing streak. Rae Scar- borough gained his 12th triumph as the Nats mauled five Brownie hurlers for 19 hits. The Dodgers moved into second a game in front of the Cardinals, as they outslugged the Pirates 11-° in Pittsburgh.. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Brooks. Bill Meyer, Pittsburgh manager, protested the Dodger triumph, however. He lodged the objection with Chief Umpire Jocko Conlan on the ground that a Brooklyn relief pitcher in the ninth inning did not complete pitching to one batter. The Pirates had rallied in the ninth to score three runs 4ff relief pitcher Hugh Casey. They had run- ners on first and third with two out. Carl Erskine relieved Casey. Erskine reached a count of three and one on Ed Bockman, a pinch hitter. Then manager Burt Shot ton yanked Erskine from the mound and replaced him with Hank Behr- man, Behrman retired Bockman on one pitched. JIf the protest is allowed the game would be replayed from the point where Erskine left. Scoring eight runs in the top of the ninth, New York Giants came from behind to defeat Chicago Cubs 9-4 and take over undisputed pos- session of fourth place, six games off the pace and one ahead of the Pirates. Howie" Fox, helped by home runs off the bats of Danny Litwhiler, Ted Kluszewski and Johnny Wryo- stek, pitched Cincinnati Reds to a 5-1 triumph + Philadelphia Peterhoro Gals Defeat Toronto In Play-off Tilt Toronto, Aug. 26--(CP)--Peter= borough Westcloxs trimmed Toron- to Young Motors 3-1 Wednesday night in the first game of a best= of-three semi-final series for the Provincial Women's Softball Inter mediate championship.
