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.

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

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.

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.

Hcce just slip behind the wheel for a moment.
You'll find that literally, and wonderfully, true
in the 1951 Packard!
See that right front fender? You've never seen that
before from the driver's seat. And what a won
derful feeling of driving sureness that can give you
in tight traffic, in parking, in any driving situation.
Dead-ahead vision's better too. "With Packard's
new, liwer bonnet, you enjoy "close-up-vision'v of
the road directly ahead of your wheels!
But that's only part of the story! There are
other things to see in this greatest Packard of all
time. Head her out on the highway. Have you ever
experienced smoother automatic driving than
Packard Ultramatic Drive? Have you ever com
manded more alert power than you have under
your throttle-foot now? That's the new Packard

Now hit that rough stretch ahead. You're on it
now, in case you didn't know. Did you ever see
steadier going? Road shocks are completely
absorbed. Your steering wheel hand doesn't even
feel them. And your passengers hardly realize the
road's been torn up! This car paves its way in
comfort.
Well, that's just an idea of what's ahead for
you. Why don't you drop in today for an actual
demonstration?
