PAIGE TWO
Giants Go West
To Battle Reds
In Torrid Series
' By Carl LuncIquiHt
(United PreM Surf Correspondent)
New York, May 23 dii The Na
tional league goes .west today and
the American league moves east,
and the trips are necessary for the
leaders of both leagues If they
are to prove their rights to the
leads.
. Mel Ott's New York Giants,
pace-makers in ' the National
league with 21 victories in 28
games, most of them at the Polo
grounds, play a night game at
Cincinnati. This four-game Giant
. Reds series probably will be the
most closely-watched of the east-
west meetings. New York has
lost Its last two . games, . both
against Pittsburgh,
The second-place Brooklyn
Dodgers meet St. Louis in four
night games, beginning tonight,
and must win at least oticc to
hold second against the rallying
Cardinals. Brooklyn hopes in this
14-game western swing are not
enhanced by knowledge that star
catcher Mickey Owen may not
even play all of the St. Louis
games before entering the army.
Boston plays at Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia at Chicago in the
' other games. The cubs were
strong pre-scason favorites, but
their stock dropped after they
lost nine of their first 12 games
in the recently-completed road
trip. But the Chlcagoans are a
good home club and apparently
are on the upbeat, since they
whipped Brooklyn at Ebbets field
in their latest appearances. The
series with the Phillies won't hurt
their chances.
Teams Move fcnst
The American league's western
learns are coming east for the
first time, and one-armed Pete
Gray of the St. Louis Browns is
arousing more interest than the
Chicago White Sox, who have
good pitching and timely hitting
and still arc a surprise because
they're leading the league.
Gray faces Boston's candidate
for "rookieof-the-year" pitcher
uavo errlss in a standout game
today, and this individual duel
almost obscures the fuct that the
Browns have won eight of their
last nine games and are only two
games out of first place.
Chicago is -at New York, and
this matching of the first-place
and fourth-place teams ensures
some first-division juggling. The
Yankees! shut -.outi 'Philadelphia
yesterday, ' 3 to 0, -in- a twilight
game-war was we- only major
league activity. ' , Hank Borowy
won his sixth game against one
defeat despite the fact he had to
leave the game In the seventh
inning with a blistered finger.
Catcher Herb Crompt on drove in
ail the Yankee runs with two
singles.
Gap Is Cut
This victory brought New York
within one and a half games of
Detroit and St. Louis, who are
tied for second two games behind
Chicago.

There Is a- new game in Pacific
coast circles. 1
You can call It discovering Pier-
cttl. The subject of the game,
which threatens to become as pop
lar as bingo, Is the same Marino
Plerctti who .hurled a 3-hit shut
out over the Detroit Tigers for
ho Washington Senators
last
bunday.
That Plerettl Is small, Is pretty
well established. Me is in the same
class with restaurant trout. How
ever small, there are gentlemen
of the inky-fingered guild that re
member having noticed him
around.
Of course In this baseball wacky I
town the midget moundsman can
count many of the faithful. May
be they ai-e somewhat biased af
ter the way he wrapped up 26
Pacific Coast league games lor
the local bums last year.

Defeat Phillies
Great Lakes, III;, May 23 Mi
Chief specialist Bob Feller, pitch
ing his first game against major
league competition since 10 11,
lasted only three and one-third
innings but his Great Lakes Blue
Jackets defeated the Philadelphia
Phillies yesterday, 1814.
It was the Bluejackets sixth
straight victory.
The former Cleveland Indian
pitching star, now coaching the
navy team, allowed 11 hits in
cluding home runs by Jlmmle Fox
and l.len Crawlord. Feller
was
replaced In tho third by Denny
Gatehouse, former . Si. Louis
Brown star, who finished the
game.
Generals Victors

Grant's galloping General ran
away from the field to a new city
title in the finals at Franklin
bowl Tuesday afternoon.
What exx'its had figured to be
a close duel between Giant,, lien

a rout as the Generals garnered

ball parks was only a fuzzy ado
lescent then. Must have been even
smaller. But the scribe remem
bers that the youngster lamented
when he'd hold the rival team to
three hits and only strike out 16.
As time went by the reports
kept coming In. So the paper put
a checker on Marino's trail. The
word came back that he was pitch
ing opposing teams loop-legBCd.
If he didn't strike out at least 15
batters he lost all desire for food.
Most hatters wore lucky to get a
loin on mm.
Later the San Francisco ball
club had its chance. They passed
him up with the shrug, "too
small."
The same Detroit gang that dls-
covered Plerettl last Sunday had
a scout follow the boy around for
three weeks before the verdict
was passed, "too small for the
majors."
Philadelphia, New York, and
Brooklyn all had their chances.
Pittsburgh ottered to look him
picRM mm up for the bargain
basement draft price of $7,f00.
So Marino Plerettl toils this sea
son for $7,500 a $50,000 pitcher
who was too tiny to be discovered
In time.
The best that Jefferson could
manage was 2(i points for runner
up honors.
Washington took third place
wilh 21 counters, Roosevelt was
fourth with 14'4 points, Benson
next with 13, followed hy Frank
lin with six and Lincoln with four.

all major league baseball teams,
particularly the St. Louis Browns,

(Br United Press)
The Hollywood .- Stars went
down to their 35th defeat in 50
Pacific Coast league engagements
last night amid predictions that
the club management was about
to declare Manager Buck Fausett
unessential to baseball In film
town. While the Stars were taking a
14-4 lacing from the Sacramento
Solons, the league-leading Port
land Beavers broke a five-game
losing streak by whipping San
Francisco, 5-2, and the Oakland
Acorns humbled the San Diego
Padres, 3-2, in 10 innings.
Allow 16 Hits
' Some southland sources report
ed that Hollls (Sloppy) Thurston,
scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates,
had all but signed on as successor
to Fausett at Hollywood. In losing
the opening game of the series to
Sacramento, four Twink pitchers
allowed 16 hits, including seven
extra base blows. Jack Calvey
featured the offensive with two
triples. Guy Fletcher racked up
his ninth mound decision for the
Solons.
Portland tagged Bob Joyce of
San Francisco for his fourth loss
of the year against eight victories.
The Beavers iced the issue with
four runs in the fifth inning.

Vic Picetti, 17-year-old first
baseman, was practically the
whole Oakland club as the Acorns
came from behind to nose out
pepper Martin's Padres. Picetti
singled in the bottom half of the
10th to score Norm Deweese with
the winning marker. He had dead
locked the score in the eighth
with a base hit which tallied Les
Scarsella. Mitchell Chetkovich,
making his first mound appear
ance for Oakland, relieved Floyd
