NEW YORK, Aug. 3-()-Enos
Slaughter of the St Louis Cardi
nals and Larrupin Louie Novi
koff of the Chicago Cubs did vir
tually all the hitting for the Na
tional league's leaders last week
but that wasn't enough to make
them contenders for the lead.
Slaughter pounded oat a dozen
hits in 27 times at bat to lift
his batting average ten points
to .319. That moved him from
sixth place among the "first
ten" regulars to fourth but still
Heft him nine points behind
third-place Joe Medwick of
Brooklyn, whose average drop
ped only one point, and 32
points behind the pace-setting
Dodger, Pete Reiser.
Novikoffs 13 hits in 34 times
at bat hoisted his average from
.300 to .308 and advanced him
from seventh to sixth place in the
standing.
Reiser, who connected only
seven times in 30 attempts, drop
ped eleven points to .343 and Runner-up
Ernie Lcmbardi of Bos
ton, with one hit in five times up,
dropped four points to .336.
Two points behind Slaughter
at .317 came Stan Mnsial of St
Louis, who was fourth last
week, and then Elbie Fletcher,
Pittsburgh, 414; Novikoff, .308;
Johnny Mize, New York. .299;
Walker Cooper, St. Louis. .29

VANCOUVER, Aug. 3-(CP)
The Vancouver Capilanos gave
Paul Soderburg a grand welcome
Monday night as a Salem Senator
server, letting him get by for just
one scoreless inning then blasting
him with' a nine-run assault in
the second inning, and ' finishing
off on Senator Manager Charlie
Petersen for at least one run per
inning from there on out to pile
the worst defeat on the Senators
this season in a Western Inter
national league baseball game, 21
to 5. ; '
Soderburg, whom Salens
picked up In Spokane, Saturday
night when the Indians released
him outright, gave up three
singles, a double, a home run
and two walks for the Caps'
nine-run second. Petersen took
over from there and was touched
for two runs in the third, four
in the fourth, one in the fifth,
three in the sixth and one each
in the seventh and eighth.
Lefty Glenn Elliott coasted along
while his mates poured it on and
hung up his third straight victory
since joining the Caps out of Ore
gon State college. The Solons
found him for two runs in the
sixth, two more in the eighth and
a single tally in the ninth, bounc
ing 10 hits off his offerings.
Four home runs and five Sa
lem errors helped the Caps to
the slaughter, Bill Wright hit
ting the one in the second frame
with one on, Hal Sueme slam
ming another in the fifth. Ford
Mullen following suit In the
seventh and Sueme repeating
again In the eighthu The last
three came with the bases tin
occupied. Five of the Vancouver hits
came off Soderburg all in the
second inning the rest off Peter
sen, the regular centerfielder of
the Senators, who, because of in
juries and player losses on the Sa
lem team, has been playing a num
ber of positions in recent games.
The lopsided win gave Van
couver a 1-0 jump in the current
four-game series which ends here
Thursday night and takes up in
Salem on Friday night.

His opponent, Dutch Harrison,
the Arkansas traveler of Harris

to take a 75. Harbert thus won the

JOE DIMAGGIO
DiMag's Bat
Starts Boom
Toicard Top
CHICAGO, Aug. 3-VThat big,
broad-shouldered fellow clubbing
his way up in the American league
batting race is Joe DiMaggio.
The circuit's averages through
Sunday's games showed he was
hitting at the highly respectable
clip of .304 that was good enough
to give him tenth place in the list
of the ten top bat wielders.
Much could be made of it,
too. It was the first time in
many moons the New York
Yankee titan was in the slug
ging set And It could be re
garded as a token of Interesting
things to come.
DiMaggio's uprising should,
however, have no immediate ef
fect on Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox who continued to set the
pace in .346 style. He could worry
a bit, though, over the persistence
of the Yankees' Joe Gordon, who
was running a close second with
.341.
The others stood In this or
der: Taft Wright, Chicago White
Sox, .335; Stan S pence, Wash
ington Senators, " .329; . Bobby
Doerr, Boston, .326; John Pesky,

-Louis Browns, 415; George

Keith Brown remained at the
top of the standings after last
night's games at Sweetland field,
when they rolled over PM Ma
chine 7 to 0, while Golden Pheas
ant kept pace with a 6-2 victory
over PM Office.
The Pheasants scored a minor
upset when they defeated the
officemen. Combing the offer
ings of Bob Knight for nine hits,
they scored one ran in the third,
two In the sixth and three in
the seventh. The office tallies
came singly in the fourth and
fifth frames. Smlther held the
office team to seven bingles.
Keith Brown did the expected
thing when they blasted two Ma
chinist hurlers for seven hits. The
Brownies, now the hardest-hitting
ball club' in the' league, scored
their seven tallies in two innings,
three in the third and four In the
fourth. Freeman and Peters held
the Machinists to one hit in rack
ing up the win. -"
Wednesday night's games will
, feature the first shewing of the
Kamage's "Bottlers" for the see
half. They will meet the new
edition of the Soldiers, in what
should shape up as a' knock
down, drag out fray. The nighU
cap will bring together the first
half winning Papermakers and
their factory cousins, the Paper
mill Machine. The. 'Makers
barely scored a t- decision
over the Machinists in their last
tut, and the enrrent cellar
dwellers will be oat for revenge.

the Polo Ground had been ex
tinguished, except a spotlight
which illuminated , the American
flag while an orchestra played the
Star Spangled Banner in what had
been' intended for a stirring and
patriotic closing Cremony.
The impetus for the Dodgers'
triumph had been furnished by
. Dixie W a I k e r's fourth round
tripper of the, season with two
aboard in the third inning and
by Dolph Camilli's grand slam
which knocked the former Flat
basher, Van Lingle Mango, oat
of the box In the fifth?
But the Giants remained un
daunted, tying the score with three
runs in the fourth, tallying an
other run in the seventh and
threatening Whitlow Wyatt again
In the ninth when the game was
called. -: . ' I . '. i '
Bill Werber led off with a sharp
single to left and while the hiure
crowd shouted for a homer, Mel
Ott walked.- Then Umpire George
Magergurth took off his mask,
steDDed out in front of the date.
and waved his arms to indicate the
game was over.
The announcer at the public
address system, who previously
had asked everyone to remain
for the ceremony after the game,
explained that the umpire was
calling the contest because of.
coastal dime at regulations,
which forbid outdoor floodlights
being used more than one hour,
after sundown.
But both the crowd and play
ers were confused, the Brooklyn
team kept its position in the field
and several of the Giants remain
ed clustered on the first base line
until the fans, who had been al
lowed to overflow onto the field
during the game, finally broke the
police lines and headed for the
exits. i j .
Even after the lights were
turned ont and the playing of
the national anthem began, the
crowd continued to b o o and
thousands poshed unheeded for
the exits. Others who stayed in
their - seats w a red burning
matches, or made torches out.of
their score cards so the darken
ed park looked like a conven- -tion
of fire-flics. Only near the
end could the music of the Star
Spangled Banner bo heard.
The game, last of the National
league's eight events foc-the bene
fit of the army and navy relief
funds, started auspiciously enough
with Commissioner Kenesaw M,
Land is and .countless, other digni
taries in the stands a n d fans
.standing, around the outfield, and
along the foul lines the first time
they ever had been permitted on
the. field in the history of the
Polo Grounds.
- The attendance waa the larg
est on record for a single game
at the homo of the Giants al
though it fell short of the 60,-
OS or more for which officials
had hoped.
Receipts amounted to approxi
mately $80,000 and exceeded the
record relief gate of S60.661.58
which the Giants and Dpdgers
drew at Brooklyn earlier this sea
son. ... ,
It was Wyatt's 13th triumph
against three defeats and Mungo'g
second loss since returning to the
National league.
