Yanks Lead Tigers By One Game By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sportswrlter If Casey Stengel fell into a city sewer he would probably come up owning an oil well. The puckish pilot of the New York Yankees, who incidenlall; owns several oil wells, is one of the canniest managers in the bus iness. He also is a great guy for hunches. Hunrhs that clicked helped the Yankees sweep a douhleheadcr ! from Cleveland yesterday and j boost them to the top in the seclh- j ing American league race. The Yankees needed some clutch 1 hitting by Johnny Mir, Phil Riz-i xuto and Tommy Henrich. The fine fiitching of Tom Ferrick and Ed .opat also played a targe part in the 4-J and 3-0 victories that gave them one-game lead over the De troit Tigers. But if Casey hadn't followed his hunches those things might never have happend. Until an hour before p'.ay be gan, Stengel wasn't sure whether he was going to play Mize at first base. Then Slegel recalled that Mize had hit a couple of homers off Bob Feller, who was due to pitch for Cleveland in the opener. All the former Giant slugger did was slam a pair of homers, one in each game. lie also collected two singles and drew the walk in the eighth inning that eventually turned out to be the winning run. Hunch No. 2 came in the eiiihlh inning of the first game. Eddie Ford, the litle lefthander, was shaken up in a collision with Cleve land's I.uke Easter. Stengel thought Ford was favor ing his right side. He promptly re placed Ford with Tom Ferrick. The veteran reliever procded to; stap the Indians cold the rest of the way as the Yankees broke a 3 3 tie in their half of the eighth. ; Hunch No. 3 came in the same bottom half of the eighth. Mize had walked. Stengel sent in Joe Collins as a pinch runner. After Hank Bauer f 1 ie i out. Collins I stole second. That necessitated an ! intentional pass to set up a pos j sible double play. Casey sent in Henrich as a pincn nitter, and ne singled to score Collins with the winning run. Stengel didn't need to resort to hunches in the second game as Ed die I-opat throttled the Tribe with six singles. It was Lopat's fifth straight over Cleveland this sea son. The Yanks one game margin was accomplished when Washing ton's Senators held the slumping tKF.4 Trlrphmai LITTLE LEAGUERS B'" Martin. 13, of Houston, Texua, Is hoisted up on the shoulders of his teammates after pitching a one-hitter to defeat tbo lads from Bridgeport, Conn, 3-1, In the finals of the Little League Baseball World Series, played In Wililamsport, Pa.

The Tigers had to tally three runs in the ninth to come from behind and win the second game, 10-8. Suc cessive hits by Johnny (J roth, Johnny Upon, Gerry Priddy and Don Kolloway produced the runs. It marked the first time the Tigers had been out of first place since June 10. Boston's Red Sox stormed into third place, a game and a half in front of Cleveland, by whipping the Chicago White Sox, 6-1. It was Boston's 15th win in 16 starts. Veteran Joe Dobson turned in his 14th victory. Philadelphia's pennant hungry Phillies increased their lead in the National to six and a half games over Brooklyn. The Phils rallied for three runs in the ninth to come from behind and nip the St. Ixniis Cardinals, 9-8. Dick Whitman's pinch double with the bases loaded and Jimmy Bloodworth's scoring fly produced the three runs. Jim Konstanty, in his 59th relief ap pearance, was credited with his 13th victory. The Chicago Cubs downed the Dodgers, 6-5. Vcrn Bickford coasted to his 17th triumph as the Boston Braves pounded out a 9 4 win over Cin cinnati. Sal Maglie pitched the New York Giisiits to a five-hit, 4 0 shut out over Pittsburgh. It was his eighth straight and his 13th vic tory against three defeats.

Joe Louis May -Clean Up Foes NEW YORK (PI It Joe Louis still has the old "it," look for the Brown Bomber to do an other cleanup job on the heavy weights. This time there won't be any pieces around for anybody to pick up. It's a big "if," though. "If I win and fight again," said Joe as he arrived to set up train ing quarters at Pompton Lakes, N. J., "I want to do it quick. In December, o r January at the latest." The "unretired" heavyweight champion's first and biggest lest comes against Ezzard Charles, the NBA heavyweight boss, in Yankee Stadium Sept. 27. If, and here we go again, Joe can get by Charles, then he can get past anybody in the heavy weight league today. That would bring him up against Lee Savold, the Englewood, N. J., veteran who is recognized in Brit ain and Europe, as the king of (hem all, the Rocky Marcianos, the Roland La Starzas, the Cesar Bri ons, and you name 'em. Joe is in hock for around $200, 000 to Uncle Sam for income tax. A single fight with Charles wouldn't take him out of the fi nancial woods. So it would be logical for Louis to start another one of those "bum of the month campaigns" that kept him active and prosperous in '40 and '41. That would he fine for Joe. But the heavyweight situalion would be in a worse mess than ever. Yakima Threatens Tacoma In WIL IBy the Associated Press) The Yakima Bears have served a 14-inning notice on the Tacoma Tigers that the race for the West ern International baseball league's 1950 title is not over. The Bears delivered the notice last night with a 3-2 win over the Tigers in Yakima in five extra innings. It reduced the Tacoma lead to a mere half game which could be wiped out tonight in the final meeting of the season for the two bitter rivals. And while those two teams were fighting it out the long way, Wen atchce moved to within a game and a half of third-place Tri-City, defeating Salem 8-6 while Tri-City was losing to Spokane, 4-0. Vancouver ousted Victoria from fifth position with an 8-4 win over Its Canadian neighbor. Just one percentage point separates the two teams now. Payne-Kahut Fight-Called 'No Contest' SPOKANE (.V) An athletic commissioner's decision nullified' knockout a half hour after it was ; scored here last night by Rusty j Pavne of San Diego over Joej Kahut, the Woodburn, Ore., far-, mer. i The official action, taken be-1 cause of a misunderstanding, was ; announced by Commissioner Will- j iam Hopkins at a press conference! after unhappy fans had booed the. kayo and gone home thinking Payne had won two minutes and 14 seconds after the third round started. HoDkins rule', that Pavne had not been instructed to go to his corner after a semi-knockdown had been scored and that Kahut was hit with the knockout blow while legally down. He said the matter was unfor tunate that neither fighter was i at fault. Purses were not held up. i Pavne was slightly behind on points when he landed a smashing right. Kahut landed against the ropes, his seat on the bottom rope and his head and arms outside. Referee Bob Oliver stirted the count as Payne stepped back but Payne did not return to a neutral corner. Payne then landed the lethal punch as Kahut got his head and shoulders back into the ring but before Kahut got off the rope. Kahut dropped for the count, the crowd booed and Payne was de clared the winner. Then Hopkins intervened, de claring the final punch "legal" but because of the circumstances the match was "no contest." Payne weighed 182, Kahut 186. W. I. L. SCORES Lawyer Advances To 3rd Round In Tennis Tourney FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (.PI Tom Brown, a San Francisco law yer, advanced to the third round nf the national tennis champion ships yesterday. Last year I said I wasn't going to play any more," he commented. "But here 1 am hack again and on the Davis cup team, too." Brown, seeded No. 4. has an above-average chance of winning the title. For one thing, he's been playing better than at any time in recent years, ror another, he has plenty nf confidence after downing Australia s hen McGre gor in the Davis cup. Detroit's Ace Pitcher Called For Draft Exam DETROIT V Young Art Houtteman. league - leading De troit's ace pitcher, has been ordered by his draft board to re port Saturday for a pre-induction pnvsical exanunalion. General Manager R illy Evans of the Detroit ligers contirmed Houtteman's summons by. t h e draft board. Evans said Houtteman was to have reported last Monday, hut was out of town when the notice arrived. His appearance was post poned until the Tigers complete tnctr e.istern road trip. Houtteman is 23. He has won 17 and lost 10 this season. BIG RACKET? GAIN.SY1I.I.K. Kla. (.11 Whet would happen. Vniversity of Flor ida tennis coach Harry Fogelman wonders, if his players took the court Willi rackets iour feel long and three feet across. He can't find any rule that says It is illegal to have a racket that size -or any other size. Another thing Fobelman noted when he checked over rules of the American Lawn Tennis Association and most niaior college confer ences: no olficial value is given a match in dual meets. Apparently only common prac tice has established that each ingles and doubles match count! one point.

Padres Defeat Beavers Again By The Associated Press There's just no beating the home run as a lethal weapon. The Pacific Coast league bcre that out last night as: 1.

Altogether he drove in six runs and scored four. His home run total is now just one behind league-leading Joe Brovia of Portland. Jack Graham and Merrill Combs also homered for the Padres, who received a pair of four-hit pitching jobs from Roy Welmaker and Al Olsen. Olsen fanned nine in notch ing his 18th win. .

Brooks holder also lost one for the Seals. Chet Johnson got the win over Ernie Groth. Seattle reliefer Denny Galehouse was the beneficiary of Vico's clout which came in the eighth after Marv Rackley had singled. It wiped out Sacramento's 1-0 lead and saddled hard-luck Bill Evans with his 18th defeat. (He's won 11.) Bob Muncrief, with the aid of fancv fielding, handed Hollywood its third straight shutout on a diet of eight hits. The loss stretched the Stars' goose-egg string to 30 innings.
