He received a 135 000 bonus to sun with Detroit in 1946. 2. He was shipped to St. Louis slong with $100,000 by Detroit for Jerry Pnddy in 1949. Lanky Lou has blossomed into a winning pitcher for the amazing Chicago While Sox. The Sox picked him up for a song from the Browns last year. The coming of Kretiow into hia owo is just an other feather in the cap of fresh man Manager Paul Richards, re nowned as a handler of pitchers. Pests 4-Hirfer Krelow, who failed as a starter early in the season, faced Wash ington last night as the Sox opened their second tour of the east. Lou came through with the first snut out of his major league career a brilliant 3-0, four-hit job. The victory enabled the Sox, win ner of seven straight the last time they visited the east, to boost their lead to 3' i games over the runner- up New York Yapkees. The Yanks were upset, s i, by the lowly St. Louis Browns. Krelow, a 27-year-old right hander who failed to win a game last year, never was headed alter the third inning. The Sox jumped Con Marrero lor two runs in the third with Ed Robinson and Don Lenhardt driving in the runs. Robinson clinched the game in the fifth by driving in his 51st run, high for the league. Pillette Haunts Yanks Duane Pillette, exiled to the Browns a year ago, came back and haunted the Yanks at the stadium. The slim righthander stopped the bombers on lour scratch hits. Ihe Browns collected only five o!f Fred Sanford and three relief pitchers but made the most of ten walks. The Browns wrapped it up in the seventh when Tommy Byrne forced home two runs with bases on balls. The Cleveland Indians moved to within a game of the third place Boston Red Sox. outlasting the Philadelphia Athletica, 8-6, in a night game at Philadelphia. The Red Sox dropped a 7-3 decision to the Detroit Tigers under the flood lights at Boston. Cleveland's Bob Feller, with help In the ninth from Lou Brissie and Mike Garcia, gained credit for his ninth victory. The A's railed in the ninth, pushing one run home and placing the potential tying runs on base. Garcia stopped the threat by getting Gus Zermal to fly out. Ted Gray turned in his second victory for the Tigers in spiking the Red Sox. Gray is the fourth visit ing lefthander to go the route and win in Boston's Fenwsy park this year. The Tigers assured Gray of victory with a five run blast in the first Inning against Harry Tay lor. Preacher Roe and the New Y'ork Giants provided the fireworks in the National league. Roe Defeats Cardinals Roe turned in his ninth victory without a loss as he pitched the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers to a 6 2 victory over the Cardinals in St. Louis. Home runs by Jackie Robinson and (ill Hodges gae Koe an early margin and he remained in front the rest of the way. Hodges' homer was his 19th. Stan Musial of the Cards went four for four to take over the circuit's bat tint lead from Robinson, .380 to .375. The Giants whipped the Reds, 6-3, in 10 innings at Cincinnati. The victory moved Ihe New Yorkers from fourth to second place, six games behind the Dodgers. The Reds dropped into a third place tie with the Cardinals. Monte Irvin broke up the game with a three run homer in the tenth off Ken Raffensberger. Johnny Sain coasted to his fourth victory of the sesson as the Boston Braves humbled the Pittsburgh Pi rates. 13-3. The Braves pounded out 15 hits and scored in all but one inning. The Philadelphia Phillies came from behind and heat the Chicago Cubs, 65. The Phils spotted tne Cubs' leads of 4-0 and 5-2. They wiped out the deficit with four runs in the fifth. Pick Sialer featured the rally with a two-run single. Milo Candini was the winner but Jim Konatanty ssvedthe game by pitching one-hit ball over the final five innings.

Sutherlin Boys Defeat Own Team In garnering the only win In the newly instituted YMCA boys soft ball league last Saturday, the News-Review sou ad had to draw three Sutherlin boys from the op posing team to make a full team. Ironically, these three helped con quer their teammates. When Sutherlin showed up in full strength and the News - Review couldn't scrape together nine boys, the msnagers of the two teams agreed to allow a redistribution of players, according ta YMCA Di rector Merlin Donaldson. As a re suit, Darrell Anderson, James Havcland, and Marvin Denny were alloted to the News-Review nine. With full complements, these two teams will tangle this Saturday morning in a practice game at 10:30. Two other practice games are slated for t a. m. between North Roseburg and Presbyterian, and Methodist and Christian. According to Donaldson, these practice contests will allow the teams one more week to organize their teams for a belated league start. The artual league opener was set for last Saturday but only Sutherlin was able to appear in full strength. Pierce Posts Win Over Smith Squad Pierce Auto Freight posted sn easy, 14 5, win over still winless Smith Motors Tuesday night in the only Twilight league game at the Veterans field. The second game was forfeited to Faith Lutheran when Dillard Methodist couldn't field a team. Smith Motors grabbed a first-inning two-run lead, but the Freight ers lashed back in the second and hunched seven hits for five runs. They were never in danger after that. After they had added two more runs in the fourth. Del Davis opened the fifth with the game's only homer. In all, the winners collected 23 hits off losing pitcher Book. In the meantime, Pierre's Harry Bade was holding the losers to six scst tered singles.

These are words that should be marked for posterity, because they came from a member of that un compromising clan called umpires. He is Al Flegel, who Tuesday sent a cold chill of fear through the umpiring world by unselfishly admitting he had erred. The de cision came-when he allowed Bus Sporer to score from third after base umpire Bunky Hill had been hit by Vir? Sandera sizzling liner last Sunday at r-inlay field. It was a league game between Bandon and Roseburg. "The only reason I can see that this wouldn't be a vrjid protest is that the manager and the man I took to be the team captain agreed with me at the time the decision was made." Flegel reported. Baseball Guide Citai' Expanding on Flegel's reversal, former Chief manager, Earl Sar gent, cited paragraph 509 of the Official Baseball guide: "A fair hit ball becomes dead if it touches an umpire or a runner before it touches an infielder, including the pitcher; or touches an umpire before it baa passed an infielder other than the pitcher." On an inquiry to Southwestern Oregon league President Roy Har gens of North Bend, it was found that the protest will go through. Ilargens said he would only have the game replayed if a win or loss by one of the two teams in volved, meant a playoff berth among the top four teams. If it is replayed, he said, the game will start in the fifth inning where the miscue occurred. The conditions will be the same with the same men on bsse and one Chief out. Virg Sanders will be allowed to take first base. Hargens said this stems from a league ruling that says no man on base will move, but the batter will be al lowed to take first if his hit ball strikes an umpire. Elkton Conquers Oakland In Evergreen League Tilt In an Evergreen league game Sunday, Elkton had an easy time conquering Oakland. 12-2. Ray Cole and Howard Parks combined to twirl a nifty one-hitter against the F.Iks. In the meantime, although Oakland's Red Cole was striking out nine men. the win ners were collecting six hits off him. In the hitting department, Ed Mitchell of Elkton hit four times in five trips, including two doubles Parks and Pribble also hit dou bles. The next Elkton home game Is slated this Sunday against Glide. PENN BAN POSED NEW YORK (.Pi Four Ivy league schools, Cornell. Columbia.
