When Hit By Ball

(UniUd PreM Staff Correspondent)
New York. May 25 U The
dreams of Alton Benton, an ex-
sailor who had hoped to pitch
his Detroit team mates to a pen
nant, all hut faded away today
as he lay In a Philadelphia hos
pital with a broken Jeg,
The baseball wheel of fortune
rarely has played a crueler pranK
than In stopping the stout-hearted
Oklahoman in the midst of one
of the greatest comebacks of the
diamond. Benton was an Inspira
tion to every U. I. dbji player wno
hopes someday himself to return
to making a living on me aiam
- ond. -
Coming back to the Tigers after
a medical discharge, he won live
straight before losing a four-hit,
1 to 0. game to Washington last
: Sunday, in six games he per-
mitted only 26 hits for an avcr-
age of 43 per game, gave up only
. two earned runs and tossed three
v shutouts.
It was In the fourth inning yes
' terday when fate struck Its blow.
Benton was pitching against the
Athletics and had a 2 to 1 lead
' when Bobby Estallela hit a low
i but sharp line drive which struck
his right leg above the ankle.
What happened after Benton
left the game, illustrated how
sorely he Is needed. Relief pitcher
Ies Mueller was r(ammered for
lour runs in tne nexi inning anu
'. Philadelphia won, 7 to 2, although
' the game was played under pro
test because the A's batted out
of order in the second and umpire
Eddie Rommel ruled the side re
tired with only two out.. Both
managers protested.
The Cleveland Indians put over
a JOth inning run on doubles By
'. Pat Seerey and Jim McDonnel to
beat the Senators In a night game
. at Washington,! to 0. Sieve Gro-
jnek shaded Roger Wolff-for his
, fifth victory.
Mctheny Gets Double
.The usually light-hitting Bud
Metheny made a double and two
singles to account for three runs
as the Yankees topped the leading
Chicago White Sox at New York
for the second day in a row, 6
io 3.
The Red Sox, led by rookie Ben
Steolner and Leon Culberson, beat
the St. Louis Browns at Boston
for the second day, winning, 8 to
C, with a 14-tjlt attack on three
tiltnhnr "
Id the National, pinch hitter
Danny Cardella hit a two-run
homer In the eighth to give the
New York Giants a 7 to 6 victory
over the Reds at Cincinnati. The
Reds knocked out Bill Volselle,
leading major league pitcher,
seeking his ninth win, in the sec
ond Inning.
Dick Barrett of the Philadelphia
Phils ended the three-gume win
ning streak of the Cubs at Chi
cago, 6 to 3, beating veteran
Paul Derringer with a five-hit
pitching job. The major damage
off Barrett was home runs by
Anay 1'aiKo and Marry Lowrey
Homer Big Help
A homer by John Barrett In
the 11th gave the Pirates a 10 to
!) edge over the Braves at Pitts
burgh, their spcond straight extra
inning win against Boston. The
Pirates used 21) men, ending the
game with shortstop Frankle Gus
tine catching.
Charley Barrett, who came to
the Cards yesterday In a trade
for Morton Cooper, got off to a
winning start with his new own
ers, ix-ating the Brooklyn Dodg
ers, 7 to 5, with plenty of hitting
support. The Curds. In wlnnlnu

Portland Beavers
Lose Two Games
(By United Prwi)
Results In the Pacific Coast
league last night were enough to
unbalance the minds of the cir
cuit's followers.
The basement-dwelling Holly
wood Stars took their second
straight win over Sacramento, 7
to 6, while the seventh-place San
Francisco Seals trampled on the
leading Portland Beavers twice,
5 0 and 4-1.
The Seattle Ralniers cut Port
land's margin to two games by
making it three In a row over
Los Angeles, 9-2, and the Oak
land Acorns whipped San Diego,
5-3.
Neat pitching performances by
Frank Seward and Elmer Orella
were responsible for San Fran-i
Cisco's victories. Seward spaced)
out five hits In the opener and
Orella turned in a seven-hit job
In the nightcap. f. i
Walks Are Factors ... ' !
Hollywood tallied lis winning
runs against Sacramento In the
sixth inning on two walks, a
single by- Les Powers and a
double off the bnt of Ken Rich
ardson. Credit for the win went
to John Marshall, who rellev-nl
Ron Smith in the second. The
defeat was charged to Joe Wood
Jr.
Southpaw Ilnlo Chelinl finally
shook off his various arm ail
ments to beat San Diego for Oak
land. Chelinl allowed 11 hits hut
couldn't be hit In the clutches.
Chet Rosolund paced the. Acorn
attack with three hits off Jim
Brillhcart, while Norm Dpweeso
and Les Scarsella clouted
doubles.
Los Angeles, usually one nf
the Fteadiest fielding teams in
the league, came apart at the
scams against Sen tile.- The An
gels committed three errors In
the fifth Inning to add to Cluulle
Cuellar's mound misery. Hal Tur
pin was the winning pitcher, re
ceiving potent batting support
from Jack Whipple, who collect
ed four for four.

Senior Softball
League Organized
Representatives of several or
ganizations interested In the pro
motion of a Softball program met
in the City hall last night.. A
league was organized to be
known as the Bend Senior Soft
ball association with Sam Blucher
chosen to head the organization.
One of the most significant de
velopments was me decision to
make it an "old man's" league by-
setting a minimum age require
ment of 21 years. It was the
general attitude of the group that
more of the grey beards of the
town would participate if they
did not have to compete with
high school boys.
The group also voted to ask
the Bend recreation committee to
Incorporate the league into the
playground program, leenng tnat
the program which would provide
recreation for 75 to 100 adults
should be under the supervision
of the municipal program and
make use of existing facilities.
Rules Suggested
Several league rules were sug
gested but it was decided to leave
the formulation of these to the
executive committee composed of
Blucher, Wilfred Jonas and
Claude Cook.
Representatives of the Elks,
Jaycees, Ordnance Shop, Lions,
Western Union and the Camp
Abhot navy were present. The
group agreed that each of the
civilian teams to enter would de
posit a guarantee of $15 that
they would finish the schedule.
A split schedule will be drawn
up by the executive committee
with the opening game set fpr
Monday, June i.
