Yankees' Jinx
New Yorkers Lose In 11th
To Detroit; Cleveland
Edges Senators In 12th
By JACK HAND
(Auocl.ud Prw Sport Writer)
Cleveland's flair for winning
extra Inning games may mean
the difference in the American
League pennant race.
While the leading New York
Yankeeu have blown eight off 11
overtime decisions, the 1948
world champions have copped 12
of 13. As a result the Indians
today are only 21 games out of
first place.
Not since mid-May have the
Yanks lacd such a direct threat
a both Cleveland and Boston
now present. The Red Sox, win
ning nine of 11 since returning
to Fenway park, now are only
five games behind New York.
That old extra Inning trouble
felled the Yanks again yesterday
when they lost to Detroit In 11
innings, 3 2. Pat Mullln, who
murders New York pitching,
broke up the game with hi.
fourth single of the day scoring
Eddie Lake.
Vic Paschl, who has lost only
six while winning 15, suffered
his third setback by Detroit, a
club he hasn't beaten.
Cleveland Wins In 12th
Cleveland pulled another long
game out of the fire, trimming
Washington, 63, in 12 innings to
take the first of their double
header. Gambling all the way, Man
ager Lou Boudreau used Bob
Lemon, his pitching ace, in re
lief and Lemon picked up his
Uth w.n on a three-run splurge
t in the 12th. Then the Indians
proceeded to humble the Sen
ators, 141, for a. clean sweep
on Bobby Feller's six hitter.
Dale Mitchell led the assault
on four Washington pitchers with
five hits as Feller struck out
nine.
The slugging Boston Red Sox
didn't have to go overtime, smoth
ering the St. Louis Browns, 12 2,
with 14 hits. Dom DIMagglo,
still on a consecutive game hit
i ting spree that has reached 31
contests, took over the league
batting lead at .347 with two hits.
A scheduled Chicago-Philadelphia
night game was postponed
on account of rain.
Cardinals Dodgers Win
Both the St. Louis Cardinals
and Brooklyn Dodgers went on
double-figure batting sprees to
keep stop in the National league
race where the Cards still hold
a half game margin.
St. Louis routed Boston, 102,
to make it three out of four over
the defending champs. Ron
Northoy homered and Stan Mu
sial and Red Schoendlenst each
had three hits in the 17 hit bar
rage. Home runs by Gil Hodges,
Duke Snider and Tommv Brown
led Brooklyn's 14-htt attack in
an 11-3 romp over Pittsburgh.
Don Newcomhe, although tagRod
for 11 hits, hung up win No.
10.
Chicago's Johnny Schmltz ended
two streaks, the New York Gi
ants' six-game winning string
and the Cubs' eight-game losing
slump, with a 10 shutout vlctorv.
Andy I'atko provided the lone
run In the second inning with
a homer off Larry Jansen.
Schmitz had a no-hitter going
up to the eighth when Sid Gordon,
first man up, beat out a slow
roller toward third. The Giants
had three hits in all.
Cincinnati made it four In a
row, a new high for the Reds
this season, by taking a pair
from the sinking Phillies, 85 and
91.

land back in third.
The Portland Beavers explod
ed for nine runs in the sixth
Inning against Oakland, allow
ing pitcher Vince di Bias! to a
10-to-l win. Until the sixth, it had
been a pitching duel between
di Biasi and Mllo Candinl.
Last place Los Angeles did a
little blasting In the eiehth in
ning against San Diego. The An
gels poured across six unearned
runs In that stanza to win, 7 to 2.
An error, two walks and four
singles accounted for the slaugh
ter. At Seattle, Frank Kelleher of
the Stars slammed an eighth
inning homer to tie the score
at 3-3. Then Hollywood erupted
for four runs In the tenth to
win 7 to 3. Herb Gorman, who
tripled, and Gene Handley who

5. (P Ezzard Charles ducks
predictions as he slides punches.
Pinning down the NBA heavy
weight champion is as tough as
beating him. Few can do it.
Will he knock out Gus Lesne
vlch next Wednesday night in
their 15-round bout at the Yankee
stadium?
"If he gets In the way," said
Ez, "he'll probably get knocked
out."
Charles pays little attention
to talk of Lesnevich's plans for
a body attack. He has his own
Ideas about the kind of a fight
to expect.
"I read about him planning
that right to the body," said the
Cincinnati Negro. "Maybe, but
I remember his left hook is pret
ty nice."
Joe Louts, now director of box
ing for the international boxing

U.Of O. Athletic
Department Trio
Visits Roseburg
A representative trio from the
University of Oregon athletic de
partment visited the News-Review
Thursday afternoon, en
route from Medford to Eugene.
Howard Lemons, athletic de
partment business manager; Bill
Bowerman, head track and fresh
man football coach, and Karl
Stelle, ex-Medford high football
star, destined to replace Norm
Van Brocklin in the football quai
terback slot, stopped in for a chut
with the news staff, after a visit
with friends in Medford.
Stelle, a sophomore at Oregon,
was considered the best high
school "T" quarterback in the
state. He did the passing for the
Duck frosh in 1947 and reported
to the varsity as a quarterback
last fall.
While Van Brocklin did most
of the work, Stelle, now a one
year letterman, rode the bench,
but midway in the season, Coarh
Jim Aiken began to use his de
fensive ability la relieve the half
backs. This fall Aiken expects to
make considerable use of Stelle'
talents, both on defense and of
fense. Bowerman joined the Oregon
staff as freshman football coach
and head track coach in the sum
mer of 1948. He came to the
Ducks after completing one of
the best records in the state in
both football and track at Med
ford high school.
lhe Webfoots track and fresh
man football boss was graduate!
from Oregon in 1935 after earning
letters in both football and track.
After a brief coaching tour at
ranklin high in Portland, he ac
cepted the head coaching Job' at
Medford.
Prior to entering the service,
Bowerman coached the Black
Tornado until 1942. He bossed the
Medfordites acam after his dis
charge from the Army, until last
summer.
His track team won every Hav-
ward relay they entered and
were victorious in three state
track classics.
Ticket Buys Urged
Lemons, whose office handles
ticket sales to Webfoot games,
indicated season tickets are still
available with preference going
to alumni association members.
He urged that ex-Webfoots liv
ing in Douglas county apply for
association membership and to
further apply for preference sea
son ticket through the athletic
department of the University of
Oregon.
George Luoma, Roseburg at
torney, is Oregon's alumni asso
ciation director for Douglas coun
ty.
