Younker, all-around utility mun for the Sacramento Solons, has been traded to the Portland Beavers for Curtis Schmidt and cash, Bill Klepper, general man ager of the Beavers, disclosed to day. Younker, catcher for Sacra mento, will appear in the Port land line-up as soon as possible, Klepper said. The husky, hustling heavy weight is rated as one of the league's foremost utility players, besides being able to hit a sea son's .280 which was recorded in his favor in 1043 during a hitch with Hollywood. Curt Schmidt, the Santa Clura boy who has filled in only brief ly at third base and in the out field for the Beavers this season, may realize an ambition to get into the lineup oftener playing with Sacramento. 'Busher' Becomes Most Effective As Bench Jockey By WALTER BYEHS CHICAGO, July 5 (UP) Al though he's only a "busher" in basebull parlance, Karl Scheel's bugle-pitched voice has made him the most feared and divtiked bench jockey "in the big ...igu.'i today. Schcel, 24, is batting practice pitcher for the White Sox and has the one burning hope he will make the grade as a full-fledged hurlor some day. He already has gained sweeping notoriety by his mastery of the "ra..bcrry. He ribs them all without mercy, from the league-leading Tigers to the lailend Athletics in a kind of "war of nerves." His sharp tongue brought on the recent Brown-White Sox "battle or the dugout" in St. Louis and the way lie's continuing his "needling campaign" there appears to be other Harelips m the oiling. Bubo Newson of the A's. My ron Ha.vworth of the Browns and other players who have been tar gets for Scheel's blasts are ready to make him eat his words. Distracting Many bench jockeys have gain ed fame in baseball, but seldom have thev been able to gel a play er's goat as effectively as Schcel. And oddly enough although hi is a former marine lie uses only "soft" words. It is hard to explain why lie is so successful at irritating play ers except that his voice is pi Jiv ing and distracting. It gives the effect of finger nails scratching across a slate blackboard. "I love baseball," he said, "and I just razz them to keep the game going. I never use profanity nor do 1 get personal. I give it tJ them one and all." There are 13(1 hospitals in New York city. They contain more than 30,000 beds.' VI til gptotu I MOTOR CO. PHONE S09 Senators Record 10 Wins on Road; In Third Place By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, July 5 (UP) Given a diet of daylight games in a smaller park than Griffith stadium, the Washington Sena tors indicated today they might provide the surprise of the year by winning the American league pennant. ' The sudden rise of the Senators to a contending spot in third place, just four-and-a-half games behind the Tigers, needs a little explanation. It appears lo be highly significant because: 1. The team has won 10 out of 14 games on the road, where al! but two were played in daylight, for the best traveling mark of any major league team this sea son. At home all but Sunday and holiday games ore at night. More Hits 2. Away from the distant fences of Griffith stadium, the biggest park in the majors, they have hit 11 homers, eight on the current trip, whereas not one homer has been hit by a Senator. The team showed its class on the road by winning a holiday double header from the White Sox at Chicago, 5 to 4, in 12 inn ings, and 11 to 2. The double wins made it three in a row over the Sox whereos the Yankees, who prucecJcd the Nats there, dropped four out of five. Win Two Third baseman Harlond Cliff, who has hit eight of Washing Ion's 1 1 homers( got three yester day. He tied up the first game at 3-all in the ninth with his first, and hit one with the bases filled in the second. He batted in sev en runs as the Senators made 13 hits in each game. Two ex-service men who uro pacing the American league pitchers each won a game at De troit. Dave Ferriss, Red Sox rookie, won the opener, 4 to 3, for his 13th win. Paul (Dizzy) Trout was the loser of his ninth game. Alton Benton oulpilehtd Clem Hausmann in the nightcap to give the Tigers an even break, 5 to 2, winning his sixth game and the first since breaking his leg, May 24. Divide Pair The Yankees and Indians di vided at Clevaland. Hank Bor- owy, New York ace, suffered his second defeat in a row ns the In dians won the opener, 4 to 2, while Steve Gromek yielded eight scattered hits for his ninth win. The Indians tied a major leugue record by having no assists. The Athelics ended a 14-gamc losing streak at St. Louis, win ning the opener, 3 to 2, but Pete Gray, one-armed outfielder, gave tlie Browns an even break by singling home two runs in the ninth. The Cubs continued their bril limit nlay at Boston, moving within three and a half games of the leading Dodgers by winning two from the Braves, 5 to 3 and 7 to 0. Paul Derringer's relief pitching saved the first game when he stopped a Boston raiiy in the eighth. Homers by Andy Pafko and Bill Nicholson gave the Cubs the second victory. Cards Tako Two The Curds, led by little Aiigio Bergamo, who made eight hits including a triple and two home runs and drove in nine runs, beat the Giants twice at New York, B to 4 and 10 lo 2. Hay Sanders and Elvin (Buster) Ad urns also hit homers for the Curds as Charley Barrett and Eldrcd Byerly chalked up easy victories. The Dodgers lost ground with a split against tlie Keds, who won the opener. 4 lo 3, as Al Libke accounted for all the runs with Iwo doubles and two singles. Brooklyn took the second, 5 t: 3. Bucky Wultcrs won the open er for the Reds. The Pirates, irked at losing the opener to the Phils, 7 to 0, on an error, came back with a 15-hit attack to win the second, 13 lo 0. Mux Butcher pitched a six-hit shutout in the second in which Jim Russell paced the batting with a homer and double. Tracks.

When he told players what to ao, he told them so eplosively that they always remembered.

"Mueller, remembering Mc Graw's explosive advice to break up a double play by any means possible and forgetting that his side had been retired jumps up into the air to deflect Adam's peg to first. The ball hit him right in the mouth, splitting hi lips and knocking out a couple of teeth.
