Shantz May Set Pitching Record By Th Associated Press Little Bobby Shantz, leading can didate foor the American League'! most vauable player award, looks like baseball'! "Man of the Year." With a dazzling 18-3 record, the little lefty is a sure thing tp be come the first 20-game winner in '52. Barring a slump he should become the first to win 25 for the Philadelphia A'j since Lefty Grove in 1932. Even the 30-win mark, a target nobody has hit since Diz'.y Dean's performance in 1934, is within reach. For the A's still have 50 games to play, Shantz' 19th was a four-hitter against Detroit, 2-1 in the first game of a doubleheadcr Thursday. He struck out seven and walked only two in outpitching young Bil ly Hoeft. The A's also took the second game, 3-2, with three in the ninth off Virgil Trucks. The Philadelphia wins helped tighten the American race a bit. Even the fifth-place A's, eight games back, remain in the race. Vic Raschl, regaining his old place as New York Yankee ace, won his 10th straight and 12th of the season by 6-2 over Chicago to keep the Yanks three games ahead of the Indians. Cleveland staged a six-run ral ly in the eighth to make it two of three over Boston, 8-2. Washington remained S W games back of the Yanks by scoring five in the first inning before anybody was out to rip St. Louis, 10-5. Brooklyn widened its National League lead to six games over New York by knocking off Pitts burgh in two games, 7-6 in 11 in nings and 4-1. Chicago went wild to score nine in the seventh and trim the Gi ants, 11-8. Despite an 11-1 lead, the Cubs had to battle to stave off a late Giant rally. Three in the seventh and four in the eighth on Jim Rhodes' grand slam homer made it close. Drain In 2-Game Weekend Series Currently shaping as the classic baseball battle in the 1952 South western Oregon League baseball season is the two-game scries at Drain this weekend between the Black Sox and the Coos Bay Lum berjacks. The Saturday night and Sunday afternoon series pits the one-two teams in the League and also the two teams with the lion's share of pitching and hitting talent. The ' Black Sox have five men batting over .300 and the Lumberjacks have six. The Sox have the best left handed burling team -in the state's semi-pro ranks with Roy Ilolser (7-1) and Jerry Cade (4-1) The Lumberjacks have gangling Al Trcichel, who is' the best in the league now with a perfect 8-0 rec ord. His teammate Ward Rockey was once one of the best in col legiate htirlers while playing with Washington State. The battle of the giants Is sig nlgicant in two ways. First, a dou ble win by the Lumberjack team would bring them within two games of the League-leading Sox. Secondly, of the three Drain losses this season, two have been to Coos Bay-North Bend. These are the only two losses for the Sox in League play. The third loss in a season of well over 25 games was a 4-3 setback by the Silver ton Red Sox. Meanwhile, the Lum berjack power Is graphically re- veaiea in a season s Berri Long Stages Third Golf Upset LOS ANGELES Wl The Worn en's Western Amateur golf tourn ament reached the crucial semi final stage Friday and it was up to ex-champion Polly Riley of Tex as to stop the title surge of a 15-year-old walloper from West Vir ginia, Berri Long.

The West Virginia champion, coming from behind for the sec ond straight day and her third up set in succession, defeated pretty Gloria Fecht of Palm Springs, Calif., 1 up on the 19th Thursday.

While Hal Zurcher'i Pee Wee squads were sweeping their last-three-game series at Myrtle Creek, one neophyte hurler threw a no hitter and another gave up just one hit. Bill Oerding pitched the no-hitter to whitewash the Myrtle Creek team of 13 and 14-year-olds, 9-0. It was the first game on the mound for the youngster. In games before, he has played first base. In the five-inning stint, he struck out eight and allowed only four Myrtle Creek batters on base, all through walks. , His teammates wrapped up the win with six runs in the first inning. The one-hitter was a bitter one for little Mike Brum'age. He was pitching for one of two Roseburg teams, 12-years old and under. In this three-inning game, he had a no-hitter up to the last frame. Then with two outs, a Myrtle Creek player lammed a home run for the only hit. The Roseburg team won easily, however, 22-2. Sixteen runs were scored by the locals in the first inning. A Roseburg batter stole the show in the third game. Louis McAllis ter got three hits in four trips in leading his younger Pee Wee group to a 15-8 victory. The 11 year old rapped two triples and a single. This trio of victories gives Rose burg eight wins and three losses against Myrtle Creek.
