Thornton S. Lee
Pitching Mystery
Of Battling Sox
By Cart Lundqulst
(United Plat Staff Correspondent)
; New York, May 14 ib The
best minds in baseball were hav
ing little or no luck today in solv
ing a mystery within a mystery
the baftllng case ot the first
place White Sox and pitcher
Thornton Starr Lee.
Th& first part isn't too tough
to solve Chicago is pacing the
pack in the American league wltn
fine pitching, timely hitting and
the manager Jimmy Dykes' brand
of hustlo. But it s tno -way m
that suDerior Ditching, particular-
)y as regards lefty Lee that calls
lor detective worn.
It was suorislng In the first
place that Dykes kept Lee after
three uau seasons in wiui.ii ne
won 10 games and lost 25.
Won 22 Games
The rangy resident of Phoenix,
Ariz- had a great year In 1941
winning 22 games. Then he de
veloped arm trouble and became
a left-handed liability. Operations
for removal of elbow bone chips
and a shoulder growth didn't help
and finally in 1943 he was signed
to a $1 a year contract, pending
recovery of his one-time form. He
came back temporarily, enougn
to get back on the payroll, but
last year he slumped again, win
nlng only three and losing nine.
This year, with no more opera
tions and no plausible explana
tion, he has regained his form and
today after a 5 to 1 victory over
the visiting Washington Senators,
is the team's top winner with four
victories and one defeat. He had
all his old guile, sweeping curves,
change of pace, and excellent con
trol, walking one batter and scat
tering 10 hits harmlessly.
Sox Iieaeta First
With another, veteran, Orval
Grove, who won, 4 to 2, In the
second game, he collaborated in
the day's only double triumph.
moving the Sox back Into first.
Guy Curtwright, with a second

provided the batting punch.
The best pitching In the majors
yesterday was on display at De
troit where rookie Dave Kerrlss
won an 8 to 2 victory for the Bos
ton Red Sox and Alton Benton
pitched a three-hit 2 to 0 shutout
lor the Tigers.
The St Louis Browns salvaged
their second game at Philadelphia
,t;Wlth a seven run rally in the
eighth to win, 8 to 2, after the
Athletics won the opener, 4 to 1.
Donald Wins Again
Atley Donald maintained his
"hoodoo" over the Indians, pitch
ing the Yanks to a 1 to 0 victory
in 10 innings at Cleveland for his
13th win against them since 1939.
Ho has lost only once, to Bob
Keller in 1941. Yielding seven
hits, he outduelled Charley (Red)
Embree, who gave up only live.
The Indians knocked tho Yanks
out of the league lead, winning
the second game, 4 to 2, with a
four run rally In the third that
gave pitcher Steve Gromck a
working margin. The decisive
blow was Jim McDonnel's double
with the bases full.
The New York Giant winning
streak ended at eighth but not
until the National league leaders
had topped the Cards, 4 to 3 in the
opener. St. Louis won the second,
C to 5.
Dodgers Victors
The Brookly Dodger-eight-
game streak remained Intact after

gave up 11 hits but distributed

San Francisco, May 14 IIP)
Clarence (Pants) Rowland, presi
dent of the Pacific coast league,
long has been an advocate seri
ously or jocularly of making
the Pacific coast league a "third
major league."
as far as tne i;h:j season is
concerned, it Is possible that Row
land has a third major league al
ready, but doesn't know it. In fact,
might be that an ne would
have to do Is declare himself
League classifications generally
are based upon class of play, at
tendance and population of cities.
Admitting that the standards of
play In the majors are down again
this year (and so it Is in the Pa
cific, too), let's use those three
classifications for a basis of comparison.
l Attendance: on a per game
basis, the 1945 Pacific coast
league is 'way ahead of either
the National or tho American
league at this writing.-Average
u n d a y attendance will run
around 12,000, with some crowds
reaching to 13,000 and 20,000.
i Class of play: there Is no
exact comparison possible on this
bject, but there are examples,
wit:
The San Diego Padres finished
Inst In the 1944 Pacific coast
league race, but still had enough
talent to send five men to the
majors all of whom appear
likely to stick. These were pitch
ers Frankle Dasso to Cincinnati;
Rex Cecil to Boston Red Sox;
Chet Johnson to Cleveland; in
fielder Eddie Wheeler to Cleve
land; catcher Bill Salkeld to Pitts
burgh. These five men, with con
siderable other help, couldn't get
out of the cellar in 1944. Still,
they are doing well In the majors
mis season.
On tho other side, there are the
major leaguers, still in their
prime, playing in the Pacific
coast league this season, who
aren't doing any too well: Lou
Novikoff, tho Los Angeles slug
ger, who may not do much better
at the plate than he did with Chi
cago; and Charlie Wensloff, a
winning, pitcher with the New
York Yankees a couple of seasons
ago, now on "lend-lease" to San
Diego, who is taking his bumps.
a copulation: outside the me
tropolitan area of New York, the
other 13 clubs In the major haVal
Portland Beavers
Get 6-Game Lead
(By United rrwj
The Portland Beavers headed
for home today with a six-game
lead and the confident feeling
that they've easily handled the
most vigorous opposition their
Pacific coast league rivals could
offer.
Manager Marv Owen's men de-
18,000,000 persons or a b o u t
1,300,000 per club: the Pacific
coast league has a-potential of
about 900,000 per club, with at
least four of the cities with larger
potentials than Cincinnati of the
National league.
It could be that tho "third ma
jor league" already is In opera-
