Bevens paddled them alright, with a snappy, -bur-hitter good for a 3-1 vlctorv and his 12th of the season. ' J Hk - The burly of Bailey road was top-gap, but also as a batsman. He to score the first Salem run in the brought in two more before Right-: bander John Conant could master the situation. Bev also banged a single in the fourth, and when at bat with a runner on second base In the sixth drew so much respect from cautious Mr. .Conant that be walked his adversary. Given an encouraging cheer for practically his every move by . the excellent Sunday doubleheader gathering of 2421, Bevens stopped what could nave been a really dis astrous weekend. In losing the Tirsi game ine saiems lanaea ai the even .500 mark in the stand ings and lefth themselves an easier target for the onrushing Tri-City and Wenatchee clubs. But in cop ping the nightcap as they did, the U.., 4k m. level and now stands by until Tuesday night when the league leading Vancouver Caps come in to open a three-game stand. ;t First Inning Did It The pesky Indians wrapped up Sunday's opener in th first la ning at the expense of Lefty Alddn Wilkie. Four runs on as rrtanjr hj two glaring errors and two bases cn balls put the tilt to shambles for the home side. Another 'four hits in the second frame brought about the final run of the' game Bf VA II St AM t In dire straits for pitchlag depth. Mgr. Hugh Luby called ion Curt Schmidt as Wilkie's -felf. - and Curt responded capably if not brilliantly. He was in trouble every inning but managed to get through it all sans a run being scored against him. There was to be no scoring at all for the Salems, however. Rrght hander Ward Hockey, the onetime Washington State collegian, eased by the local lads with a four-hitter. He never was in really serious trouble in uncorking what doubt lessly was his topmost effort 'of the season. 1 . This win gave the Tribe an 8-3 bulge on the Salems for a seasonal count. So Bevens put an end to that painful procession also. Spo kane banged Wilkie and Schmidt for 13 safeties in the opener,, iflp-t lng to cost the former his seventh kidsck ot uie campaign. ? jjt Close to Shntoat ' i - r Bevens came within an eyelash of blanking the enemy in the fi nale. He had a three-hitter with - one out in the sixth when Mel Wasley lined a solid smash into right-center that got' by both Bill Spaeter and Dick Faber. Wasley went for three bases on the blow but had to slide into third on very close play that brought hefty vocal blast at Umpire Eiler for calling Wasley safe. It was that close. At any rate Bill Sheets ground ed weakly to Richie Myers as next man up, Wasley trotted in with the only tally Spokane was to get. Wasley's hit was the last they got also. One rip-snorting inning, a wea pon Spokane had used to win all three' of the previous games, put It in the sack for Bevens. As men tioned he was the batting hero of It all. Jim McKeegan, who seems to be improving with every game now that he's the suad's No. catcher, opened the lower portion of - the third with a smash that Steve Mesner couldn't handle. Bevens then bopped his wicked liner into left center for a double, scoring McKeegan. Myers fouled out but Boss Luby sent Bevens to third with a -solid single to left Dick Faber lofted a long drive to deep center, caught by Eddie Mur- piiy. aura ocycih iraicu UKI IMC fc- J . -1 . W catch.- ' Spaeter Beps Doable Luby then swiped second and kept right on going when Sheets' . throw bounded into center field. A walk to Glenn Stetter set It up for Bill Spaeter to drop a double into left field, scoring Luby with the third and final run of the heat. Conant was a mighty tough hombra.from there on out, giving but two hits.1 His total yield for the game was seven, two each by llcKeegan and Bevens.- ' incidentally, Bevens has now defeated every club in the league t least once. Up until last night Spokane wasn't among his victims. The crowd of 2421 swelled the season total to 59,188, far over the entire 1850 Waters field total .

July MSVBig Don Newcombe of p e n n a n t-minded Brooklyn and Ned Carver of the last-place St. Louis Browns are expected to be the starting pitch ers Tuesday in the. 18th All-Star baseball game at Briggs stadium. Expected is the word because managers Casey Stengel of the American league and Eddie Sawyer of the Nationals won't an nounce batting orders and pitchers until tomorrow morning. Stengel and Sawyer have been occupied with more urgent business lately. The dope book says Newcombe (12-4) Is a cinch. All eight mem bers of the strong National league staff worked over the weekend, but the jumbo sized negro pitched only two-innings In Brooklyn's victory over the Phillies Sunday and as he is famed as a work horse,' Ihe should nave no trouble pitching his stint of three innings here' on Tuesday. -Newcombe Beat Giants Newcombe's last full game was a steady 8-4 win oyer the New York Giants Thursday night to give the Dodgers a clean sweep in their big series. Sawyer might prefer to throw a lefty against an American start ing lineup that includes five left- handed hitters. But his two south paws Preacher Roe of Brooklyn and" Warren Spahn of Boston- were used Saturday or Sunday. I Stengel, admitting he booted one In passing up Bob (No Hit) Feller, lis seriously handicapped by the I American league rule forcing him I to ' pick only one pitcher from each club. Three of the best in the league Vic Baschl and Allie Reynolds of the Yanks and Feller aren't even on the squad. The I idea is to not handicap clubs In the, race by using up their pitch ing strengtn.
