Portland Trades
For Younker, Sac
Utility Catcher
PORTLAND, July 5 (UP) Hoy
E. 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.'

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.

he told them so eplosively that

"There was that time, back in

And the Giants are al bat. with

Brake it Up
"I can't remember what Giant
is at bat; but he drives a sharp

shortstop, who tossed the ball to
our second baseman & p a r k y
Adams, for an easy out on Muel

"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.
Lose Men
"Mueller is rolling on the base
path in pain, and nearly every

laughter. And. McGraw comes

out, bellowing awful bad names
