Tigers Lead American League
By Two Games After 1 0-2 Win
By JOE REICHLER
Auociltcd PrcM Sport. Wnlr
"If we could only beat Boston
we might have a chance."
This wai Manager Bed Rolfe'i
atock answer to spring queies
regarding Detroit's pennant
chances (or 1950.
Rolfe knew what he was talking
about. His Tigers won only seven
games from the Red Sox in 1949
while losing 15. They finished fourth
10 games behind the New York
Yankees.
The Tigers have met the Red
Sox a dozen times thus far and
have come off with nine victories.
That is two more than they were
able to win from Boston in their
entire 1949 season. That, in a nut
shell, is the chief reason why the
Bengals are leading the rest of the
American league by two full games
today.
Detroit made it nine triumphs In
the last 10 games yesterday the
sixth in succession over the Red
Sox by trouncing Boston, 10 2.
Art Houtteman went all the way
for his eighth victory. He allowed
seven hits, but two of them were
homers by Ted Williams and Vcrn
Stephens to account for Boston's
runs.
Desoite the victory. Detroit's
first place margin was shaved a
half-game by the Yankees, who
whipped the St. Louis Browns, 13
S and 9 0, in both ends of i double
header in St. Louis.
Cleveland's Indians ruined "Fa
thers Day" for Connie Mack, base
ball's oldest daddy, by blasting his
Philadelphia Athletics twice, 7-0 and
21-2. After Bobby Feller blanked
the A's with two hits in the first
game, the Indians scored a rec
ord 14 runs in the first inning of
the nightcap.
Brooklyn's Dodgers climbed to
within a half-game of the National
league leading St. Louis Cardinals
by whipping the Redbirds for the
third straight time, 9-0. Philadel
phia's third place Phillies moved
to within a game and a half of
the top, tripping the Cincinnati
Reds twice, 4-3 and 4-2.
Giants Take Two
The Giants trounced the Chicago
Cubs twice, 6-0 ar.d 10-5, to creep
up to within a half game of the
fifth place Bruins. Boston's Braves
won their aixth straight, defeating
Pittsburgh 8-8 In the first game of
a doubleheadcr, the second was
called after nine innings on ac
count of darkness and a curfew law
with the score tied at 8-8. The
game will be replaled tonight.
The scheduled doubleheader be
tween Washington and the White
Sox in Chicago was postponed by
rain.
Cleveland's 14 runs were the most
ever made in the first inning. The
previous high was 13 made by the
Braves in 1900 and the Giants in
1911. The A's held the American
league mark of 12, set in 1937.
Three other clubs since 1900 tallied
14 runs in an inning.
Feller won his sixlh game in
the opener. A single by Wally
Moses in the first and another
one-basaed bv Mike Guerra in the
eighth were the only hits off the
former strikeout king. Mike Garcia
won his fifth in the finale.
Tommy Byrne won his eighth
lame, helping his own cause with
a home run and double in the open
er against the Browns. Allie Rey
nolds, his Yankee pitching mate,
hurled the shutout in the nightcap.
Dan Bankhead blanked the Cardi
nals on six hits for Brooklyn. It
was his first major league shut
out. Duke Snider rapped four
hits while Jackie Robinson batted in
four runs for the Dodgers.
The Phils got some fine pitch
ing from bonus kids Curt Simmons
and Bob Miller. Simmons spaced
seven hits for his eighth triumph
in the opener. Miller allowed eight
hits to register his fifth triumph
without a loss.
Larry Janscn, proud papa ofsix
children, really had himscll are
ther's day. The Giant righthander
allowed only three Chicago hits in
registering his second straight shut
out.
Dave Koslo, helped by homers
by Wes Westrum and Hank Thomp
son, won his sixth game in the
nightcap.
Tommy Holmes drove in three
runs to lead the Braves to their
first game victory over Pittsburgh,

Southern Oregon. Legion
Teams Set Doubleheader
The Roseburg Junior American
Legion baseball team will face
the Eugene Junior Legion club
and the undefeated Umpqua Chiefs
slated to start at 8:30 p.m. Tues
day on Finlay field.
If past performances by the Eu
gene club are any indication, the
Roseburg vs. Eugene tilt should be
one of the best junior legion games
local fans will see on the home
diamond this year. The past two
years the Eugene team has been
composed of Axemen players, run-ners-up
for state high school hon
ors. However, Eugene high school
lost many veteran players by grad
uation, making them uneligible
for junior legion ball. The mem
bership of the Eugene club is un
known, but Coach Norm West ex
pects them to field a strong team,
Pointing For Eugene Game
Roseburg. with one loss to Suth
erlin and a Friday night win over
Myrtle Creek, has been pointing
for the Eugene game since the
team was formed three weeks ago
Coach West will probably start
Mickey Coen on the hill for the
local club.
North Bend, after a surprising
6-2 upset win over talented KeedS'
port, is rated as one of the strong
teams in the race for the South
western Oregon league pennant
One name appearing on the North
Bend roster which will be familiar
to Roseburg sports fans is Barney
Babe Zaharias
Open Favorite
DENVER. June 19-UPl Old
hometown friends are pulling for
Babe Didrikson Zsharias to win
the women's western open golf
tournament starting here today on
a rain-soaked course. They ve in
stalled her as co-favorite with
Louise Suggs.
And, yesterday, the Babe, who
now calls Chicago home, gave
former cronies something on which
to peg Iheir hopes. In an 18-hole
exhiliilinn charity match, she
teamed with Betty Jameson of San
Antonio, Tex., to defeat Patty
Berg and Miss Suggs, 4 and 3.
All four have held the western
open crown before. Miss Suggs,
a trim brunette from Carrollmn,
Ga., is the defending champion,
she, Mrs. Zaharias and Miss Berg,
the Minneapolis redhead, each
have won three limes. Miss .In me
son was the in 19 runncrup.
While many are counling out
anybody but these four top pro
fessionals to win the tourney and
$500 first money, there are plenty
of darkhorses among the 100 en
tries. Anything could happen be
tween today's 18-hole qualifying
round to pick a championship
flight of 32 and the 36-hole finals
Saturday.
MARIETTA, O., June 19-lP)-Washington
sped homeward today
with the crown of college shell
racing, hut the crew really bustln1
wilh pride was "Orphan" Stanford
And Stanford won only third
place in Saturday's 48th annual in
ter-collcgiate Rowing association
regatta on the Ohio river.
But that third place was far
more than Ihe Stanford crewmen
and. the 11 other colleges competing
against them expected of the west
erncrs in the two - mile varsity
race.
More important to the Stanford
boys, however, is the fact that
when they get home they can say
to their school's officials:
Look what we did at Mariettal
Now, will you recognize rowing as
an official sport at Stanford? '
Was Main Obioctivo
That was the crew s main ob
jective when it came out here.
Since Stanford does not recognize
rowing, the crewmen had to raise
their own funds. Students and alum
ni provided $3,500 for the trip east,
and rival California (which placed
second Saturday) provided trans
portation for the Stanford boats.
That's how Stanford got the
name, "Orphan Crew." Once here,
the 14 crewmen didn't have enough
money for the return trip. So they
dug into their own pockets, obtain
ed help from their parents and
were able to board the train yes
terday witn tickets nome.
Washington s Huskies finished
first in Saturday's varsity race,
lust as they and their coach, Al
Ulbrickson, and most of the rival
coaches had predicted.
Won Throe Events
Washington's oarsmen went fur
ther. They captured also the fresh
men and junior varsity races,
the fourth time their school has
done this.
Washington, incidentally, is the
only school which has ever "swept
the river" in the IRA regatta by
winning all three races.
The M-foot Washington shell
skimmed the two miles on a river
muddied and debris-strewn from
flood waters in 8 minules, 7.5 sec
ondsa speed of about 15 miles an
hour.
In the freshman race, Navy was
second and Cornell third. In the
junior varsity event, California fin
ished second and Navy thud. Both
these races were at two miles.
The varsity and JV races origi
nally were scheduled for three
miles, but unfavorable river con
ditions, including a current of 2.18
miles an hour, caused officials to
knock off a mile.
Stewards of the IRA will decide
soon whether their regatta shall
be brought back to Marietta in
1951, returned to Poughkcepsie,
N Y., or taken to Seattle or some
other site. II was transferred from
Pniighkeepsie to Marietta for the
first time Saturday.
Noor Tops Big Cy
Again, Sets New
World's Record
ALBANY, Calif., June 19-UF)
Charles Howard would have loved
it. How Noor beat the great Citation
again Saturday and set a world's
record doing it.
Howard, the multimillionaire
who gained fame as owner of Sea
biscuit, was still alive when the
Irish-bred horse he bought from
Ali Khan beat Citation twice at
Santa Anita. His physicians had
warned him to stay away from the
tracks to save his failing heart
from Ihe excitement. But he saw
Noor beat Citation.
The wealthy automobile dealer
died June 6 and late last week
like a voice from the grave came
these words in his will:
"It is my hope that the trustees,
through their control of the Charles
S. Howard Co., will continue the
operation of the racing stables . . .
even though it may be necessary
to continue such operation on a
smaller scale."
Saturday Noor operated on a
grand scale. Dispelling any notions
that he twice heat Citation because
the weights were too, heavy in his
favor, the Irish-bred horse did it
with only five pounds to the good.
He won the wav Howard would
have loved watching a horse win-
sweeping up from last place, pass
ing the entire field, catching Cita
tion in the stretch, winning by a
neck. And doing it in one minute
48 4-5 seconds, clipping four-filths
off the world mark for a mile and
one eighth.
This coming Saturday the two
handicap slara are due to match
strides again in the mile and a
quarter $50,000. That's one the Cal
umet farms would like Citation :o
win so as to put him far along
toward becoming the first million
dollar winner in racing history.
The $2,000 he picked up for second
Saturday made his all-time record
winnings total $926,630.
Holland. Holland is an all-state bas

The Willows wins came on four
