Chiefs Defeat Banks, -8-0; In State Baseball Tourney 6 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Wed., July 26, 1950 Indians Gain In American; Phils Lead National Again Bv JOE REICHLER Auoclilcd PreM Sportswrll.r Cleveland'! rampaging Indians, looking more menacing each day, loom as the real "dark horse" in the jumbled American league pen nant race. No club in the league and that includes the pace-setting Detroit Tigers and runncr-up New York Yankees has looked better than Lou Boudreau's men, who have run up 12 triumphs in their last 1C games. Whereas three weeks ago, the Indians trailed the Tigers by seven full games, they are only two and a half games out today. Thanks to a 7-6 triumph over Philadelphia last night while both the Tigers and Yankees were losing, the In dians find themselves in the best position they've been all year. True, they still are In third Clace, one length back of the Yan ppx and three in front of the Bijs- ton Red Sox, but they are in good thane to make a whale ol a battle out of it the rest of the way. They own three ton flight pitchers in Bnb Lemon, Bob Keller and Early Wynn. And in rookies Al Rosen and Luke Easter, they possess two Ol me lop Sluggers in me khhi. Schedule Favorable Cleveland's biggest asset Is the schedule. Not only is the Tribe currently facing a long home stand, but tne three closing wccks oi tne season will find the Indians play ing at home in 12 of the last 14 names. Should they remain any where near the top in the. next few weeks, they will be mighty dif ficult to stop. Keller was the winner yesterday although he needed help from Le mon in the ninth. It was Feller's 10th triumph of the year. He got a big lift from Easter, who smash ed his 18th and 19th homers off loser Alex Kcllncr. The Red Sox won a 7-8 nip-and-tuck affair from Detroit, scoring three runs in the eighth off relief pitcher Hal White to overcome a 6-4 deficit. Three runs in each of the fifth and seventh innings had enabled the Tigers to overcome an early 4-0 Boston lead. Ench club used four pitchers, with Chuck Slobbs the winner and White the loser. , Yankees Lose I Stubby Overmire pitched the St. Louis Browns to a 4-3 victory over New York. Ha had a three-hit shut out until the ninth. Four hits, in cluding a two-run homer by John ny Mire, gave the Yankees three runt. Overmire batted in what pro ved to be the winning runs with a two-run single off Vic Raschl in the fifth. Fine relief pitching by Joe llny nes and strong stickwork by Sain Mele and Gil Coan helped Washing ton triumph over the Chicago White Sox, 7-4. Philadelphia's Phillies moved back to tne top of the National league by handing the Chicago Cub Iwn shutout defeats, 7-0 and i n. Bubba Church hurled a three-hitter in the opener and Robin Ro berta followed with a six-hitter. It was the latter't 12th triumph. John ny Klippslcin and Bob Rush were the viclims. The Cubs now have suffered through three straight shutout los ses.

The Phils' double win put them half came in front of the St. Louis Cardinals, who whipped the Brooklyn Dodgers. 9-5. I he Boston Braves moved into third spot, two and a half games off the pare, by thrashing the Pittsburgh Pir ates, 7-2, as Johnny Sain notched his 13lh success of the season. A five-run eiehth inning and an- nlhrr tallv in the ninth on Boh Usher's error gave the Giants 7ji iriumnh river Cincinnati. Paced by Del Ennis' 18lh home run with two mates anoam, tne Phils were an easy victor in the opener. They had to wait until two were out in the last of the nin th to win the second game. Richie Ashburn took care of that, lashing a single to center to score Ralph Caballeio from second. Del Rice's three-run homer high lighted a four-run eighth inning which enabled the Cards to over come a 5-3 Dodger lead. The Cards' Stan Musial cracked a home run, double and sincle to extend his consecutive hitting streak through 29 games. Roseburg't Umpqua Chief! drub bed Banks, defending Oregon semi pro baseball champions 6 to O at Silverton last night to get back in the running in the state tourney Recdsport, which previously won from Roseburg, was tumbled by Central Point, to 1. Bus Sparer limited Banks to three hits in pitching the Chiefs to victory, and was aided by lusty hitting in the first inning, when the Chiefs racked up six runs. The game was called in the fifth. Baker, Roseburg lead off bat ter, started and ended the hectic first inning. Beating out an infield hit, he was advanced to second by Debernardi't sacrifice bunt. George Sanders was out, third to first, but Lindy and Kotnick con nected safely. Three successive errors by the Banks' shortstop, put Kirkpatrick, Ritchie and Virge San ders on base, and Sporer cleaned the bases with a sham blow into center field. Baker, coming up for his second time in the inning grounded out, shortstop to first. Debernardi Jed off with a single to start the two-run tecond inning. He was advanced by Kotnick't sin gle after two were out, and both scored as Kirkpatrick and Ritchie connected safely. The Chiefs did not score in the remaining innings. The defending champions were helpless before Sporer'a speed ball pitching. They went down in order in the first two innings, got a scratch single in the third, as four men came to the plate, and went down one-two-three in the fourth. A fifth inning rally was cut short by two strikeouts and a weak, in field grounder, after two hits were collected in that frame to provide the only threat of the game.

Schemer Squirts, Tri-City Capture City League Wins Schemers came to life Tuesday night to post an easy victory over Firmco, 14-5 and Tri-City swamped the hard luck Elks, 8-1, in a city Softball double header.

Firmco got a run in the fourlh on Moore's error that allowed Dan Dunham to score. They broke out with four more in the fifth after Frank Barnes and Kielh Hanna singled, Alvin Newton Dunham and Marvin Starkweather walked and Bob Harris cracked out a sin gle.
