Beavers Lose 2
To Seattle; Now
Lead Four Games
San Francisco Also
Gains With Two
Over Oakland
By Untied Press
Seattle hung two defeats on
the pacesetting Portland Beavers
Sunday afternoon and in doing so
slashed the Pacific coast baseball
league lead to four games. Cur
rently in second place, the Rain
icrs arc in position to seriously
threaten Portland's tenure if they
can fatten their averages against
Los Angeles next week.
Seattle won the first game. 6-2,
on the strength of a four-run out
burst in the seventh inning. Vet
eran Pitcher Carl Fischer held
the Bevos to eight hits as Scat
tie won the nightcap, 5-2.
Seals Gain
San Francisco gained on third
place Sacramento with a twin
victory over Oakland by scores
of 7-4 and 8-2. Hollywood made
it three straight over Los An
gcles and gained an even split
when it routed the Seraphs twice,
7-3 and 8-3. San Diego and Sac
ramento divided their double-
header, the Padres winning the
opener behind Carl Dumlcr, 4-2
and dropping the finale when
Guy Fletcher chulked up his 19th
pitching victory by a score of
9-2.
Don Pulford held Seattle to a
pair of hits until the seventh
inning of the first game when the
Rainiers landed all over him.
When the smoke had cleared, Se
attle was in the lead.
Three Deals
In the first frame of the ab
breviated finale, they scored four
times in the first and were never
headed.
The Oakland club announced
Sunday the unconditional release
of Pitcher Halo Chelini and re
serve infieldcr Jim Herrera. The
release of these players was nec
essary to make room for three
new outfielders, an infieldcr and
a pitcher, reeentlv purchased by
the club. 1
Outfielder Nick Rhabe, who
has been on the suspended list,
was sold Sunday by Los Angeles
to r-oniand m a straight cash

Tigers Win Two,
Take Two Game
Lead of Senators
Two New Hurlers
Come Through to
Double Victory
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (UP)
Any dangling doubts the Detroit
Tigers mean business about win
ning the American league pen
nant were dispelled today after
week-end debuts by the two
pitchers they picked up as "flag
insurance."
The Tigers aren't comfortably
in front as yet only two games
to the good with the tough Wash
ington Senators - dogging their
tracks but there is good reason
to think they have established a
trend which will hold them.
Wins Own Game
Yesterday genial Jim Tobin,
the exponent of the fluttering
"crawl ball" made his Detroit
debut as a relief pitcher in the
ninth inning against, the visiting
Yankees. The Yankees swung
themselves weak for three inn
ings against his tantalizing tosses
and got nowhere. Then he broke
their hearts in the 11th with a
three-run homer to produce a 9
to 6 victory. Tobin, top home run
hitter among major league pitch
ers, connected with a 400 foot
drive to end the game. Russ Der
by had tied the score with a hom
er for the Yankees, sending the
game into extra innings.
After Tobin's feats, Hal Now
houser had an easy time of it in
winning his 18th game, 8 to 2, in
the nightcap, backed by 12 hits
and four Yankee errors.
Senators Split
The Senators got only a split
at St. Louis, winning the opener,
9 to 5, as ex-Brownie Mike Krce
vich led the 13-hit attack with
two doubles and a single. Bob
Muncrief pitched five-hit ball for
the Browns in taking the second
game, 4 to 1.
The White Sox lost their first
Sunday game at Chicago this sea
son when Philadelphia won the
opener, 7 to 0, behind Jess Flores'
four-hit pitching. Chicago re
taliated to take the second game,
5 to 3.
Dave Ferriss, Boston's dedoubt
able rookie, won his 19th game
against five defeats, beating
Cleveland, 7 to 1, but the Red Sox
succumbed to the steady pitching
of another cx-G. I., rookie Pete
Center, who hurled an 8 to 2 vic
tory for Cleveland in the second
game.
Greater Lead
Chicago bulged its lead to six
and a half games with 4 to 3 and
12 to 6 victories over the Phillies
at Philadelphia in the National.
Paul Erickson, striking out eight,
won the first game in which Phil
Cavaretta, key player, suffered
a shoulder injury that may side
line him a week. Hank Wyse had
no trouble winning bis 18th game
as the Cubs supported him with
18 hits in the second contest.
Brooklyn and St. Louis, bat
tling for second, cut each other's
necks. The Dodgers won the
first game, 7 to 3, coming from
behind after Buster Adams hit a
first inning homer.
Homers gave the Giants 3 to 2
and 6 to 5 wins over the Reds,
who now have lost nine straight.
Danny Gardclla's two-run homer
gave Van Lingle Mungo his 12th
win in the opener. Mel Ott's
pinch homer provided the margin
in the second game, won in re
lief by Ace Adams.
Elwyn Roe's second straight
shutout, 3 to 0 over the Braves
at Boston, gave Pittsburgh a split
after a 7 to 6 first game loss on
a timely eighth inning single by
Tom Nelson, his third of the
game.

New Swede Distance
Runner Beats Arne
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 13 (UP)
Sweden's dual monopoly of dis
tance running honors threatened
to become a triumvirate today
after the triumph of a virtually
unknown track man, Lenhart
Strand, over Arne Andersson in
the 1,500 meter distace yester
day. Lenhart ran the distance in
3:47.6, surpassing the last offi
cially recgnized mark of 3:47.8
held by Jack Lovelock of New
Zealand, but filing 4.6 seconds off
the mark set by Gunder Hagg

One Mexican named Costello
Caruso almost turned the trick

Conn said that he was "out" on
