O CD O 0 Tribe Nips Senators; Yanks Split By RALPH RODEN Aktociatcd Pru SporU WrIUr Dale Mitchell, a bench warmer every spring, is one of the leading lights in Cleveland's stirring drive lor the American league pennant. . Mitchell, who has never failed to hit .300 in the big top, sits on the sidelines down south while rookies battle for his left field Job. But Mitchell doesn't worry. "I'll be in there before long," is his com ment. Sure enough, before the season is well underway Mitchell is the reg ular left fielder. There was some doubt this year if Mitchell would come tnrougn again. He got off to a horrible start after all aspirants for his berth failed, but he finally started to click, and so did the Indians, Rjirh .300 Mark Mitchell reached the .300 mark in batting last night as the Indi ans opened a crucial 18-game home stand by beating the Wash ington Senators, 5-3. The triumph, a 43rd birthday present for Manager Al Lopez, en abled the Tribe to pull one game ahead of the runnerup New York Yankees, who divided a twi-night doubleheader with the Tigers in Detroit. The Tigers won t h e opener, 6-3, but the Yanks grabbed the second, 12-5. Mitchell opened the Indian half of the first Inning with his ninth homer, only two shy of his output in four previous complete big league seasons. Before the Inning ended, Al Rosen boomed his 22nd homer with a mate on and the Indians never were headed. Home runs by Bob Avila in the third and Harry Simpson in the sixth accounted for the other Cleveland runs. Husky Mike Garcia scattered 12 Washington hits in posting his 17th victory of the year compared to eight losses. Mickey Vernon, with a double and three singles, and Ed Yost, with a home run, featured Washington's attack. The Indians meet every rival during their current stand. They collide with the Yanks in a three game series beginning Thursday and clash in a doubleheader with the Boston Red Sox Sunday. . 21. 6 Th Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Tues., Aug 1951 Jerry Cade Leaves Chiefs For Lack Of Pitching Jobs Jerry Cade, best pitching pros pect in years, has lied the Ump qua Chief wigwam. Team manager Bun Kelsay re ported Tuesday that Cade had re turned to Drain without giving him notice. Team Secretary Earl I'lum mer corroborated the statement Cade could not be contacted for an interview, but a Drain spokesman reported that the flashy lefthander was dissatisfied with his lack of pitching chores in recent weeks He quoted Cade as saying he had only been able to pitch two Innings in the last four weeks. Kelsay said, "I am sorry we lost him." He quickly added, how ever, that he d'dn't "feel guilty about it." He said Cade had been hit on the pitching arm before the Coquille-Rosebui g game on July 28 and had not been able to pitch for a while. He continued that Cade had been slated to hurl the Rose-burg-Brookings game on Aug. 12, but he didn't seem ready. Kelsay One of the most stunning upsets In American horse racing occurred when Jim Dandy, a 100 to 1 shot, won the Travers Stakes, Suit Yourself at Joe Richards Loqqqers, Chiefs Tied For Fourth After the Sunday Southwestern Oregon league games, Roseburg's Umpqua Chiefs still held a tenuous grip on the fourth runs of the league ladder with an even .500 percentage. Tied wnn ine umeis, nowever, was Coquille with the same num ber of wins and losses, ine unlets stand a good chance of falling into fifth, however, since the Loggers postponed the game with Reedsport until today because of forest fires. A win by the Coquille club would put it one-half game ahead of the Chiefs. Medford kept Brookings from moving into the fourth spot b y blanking it, 4-0, Sunday. Coos Bay North Bend matched the frontrun ning pace by hammering third place Bandon, 15-5.

Fairgrounds said that he had made the decision to pitch Bus Sparer instead of Cade in the Brookings tilt because of shaky showing on the day before when Cade had been sent In for two innings against Medford. The latter was an exhibition contest at Sutherlin. Kelsay intimated that the game was too important in the stret,ch drive to risk Cade. "I'm sorry it turned out that way," Kel say said, "but I would do the same thing again." The manager continued that he had also picked Cade to pitch Sun day's game against Myrtle Creek. Cade came to Roscburg in early July from Drain where he had pitched the high school team to the state baseball championship. The highly touted flingcr stepped into the Indian traces against Myrtle Creek in an early season game. In that tilt, he struck out 15 and gave up only three hits. During his stay wnn tne unlets, ne pitched in 10 games, winning seven and losing only one. He hurled 58 innings to run up a string of strikeouts total ing 81. He allowed 30 hits. This is an average of 13 strikeouts a game and 4.8 hits per game. Manager Kelsay said he would be replaced on the pitching staff by Wally Bcamer, a Sutherlin hurler, who just returned from the Appalachian league with the clos ing of the season there. Chiefs Need Double Win For Playoff This is the door-die weekend for the Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs. They play two league games on Finlay field and a Shaughnessy playoff berth almost depends on a double win. Because the fight for the fourth spot in the Southwestern Oregon league is so hot, league president Roy Hargens of North Bend has ordered continued play of the pro tested Roseburg Bandon game. Roseburg won the original tilt June 10 by a score of 8-7, but after a protest was filed by Ban don, Hargens ruled that the game would be continued from the fifth inning if a play off position de pended on the outcome. Umpire Errors It was in the fifth inning that Virg Sanders lined a drive that hit umpire Bunky Hill. Bus Sourer and Lovell Baker scored on the hit and plate umpire Al Flegel ruled that both runs were valid. He later reversed his decision on the rule that stater that a ball be comes dead when It hits an um pire. Thus, the men on base could not move and the batter would be allowed first base. This is the way it will stand when the two teams finish the con test Saturday night. Bandon will be ahead, 3-2. The Chiefs will be at bat in the bottom of the fifth with Sporer on third, Baker on sec ond and Virg Sanders on first There will be one out. On Sunday, the Chiefs close out a full weekend and the season's play in a game with Reedsport. Carlos Bernier. playing for Bris tol, Conn., in the Colonial league in 1950 stole 53 bases in 52 games. He's now running wild on the bases for Ben Chapman's Tampa Smokers.
