Stars, Padres

League Race
San Francisco, May 4 UPi The
Pacific Coast league leadership
knot drew a little tighter last
night, hut the Hollywood Stars
and the San Diego Padres didn't
lose any rope.
Both teams managed to eke out
photo-finish wins with last minute
spurts. The Stars' one extra game
on the playing ledger enabled
them to claim a half-point margin
over the Padres.
While San Diego was skidding
in under the wire with three last
ditch runs in the ninth Inning to
sneak by San Francisco 5-4, the
Stars were breaking an eighth in
ning tie through the good fortune
of a Seattle bobble and a pop fly
to. win out, 5-3.
' Beavers Win One
But last inning rallies and close
ball games weren't confined to the
top bracket clubs last night. The
lowly Portland Beavers, smarting
from a 7-6 defeat in the first game
of a twin bill with. Oakland at
Emeryville, turned the tables in
the second game to edge the
Acorns 7-6. . it
. The first game was broken up
in the last inning when Los Scah
sella powdered one of Tommy
Bridges slants in the stands with
Maurice Van Robays on base.
Scarsella was tough on Portland
chuckers during the evening and
found three home run balls to
share the lead with Max West in
the PCL with 11 roundtrippers to
his credit.
In another close ball game at
Sacramento, the Solons came to
life in the eighth inning and ran
seven runs through the Los An
geles defense for an 11-4 tally.
Frankie Dasso scattered eight
Angel hits for his fourth win
against two setbacks and was
troubled only once when Los An
geles collected two in the fourth.
The pitchers had a rough night
of it all the way through, but the
heartbreaker befell Seal slinger
Ken Gables, trying for his first
win. He fell short in the ninth
inning when the Padres pushed
across three runs to clinch the
game. The Seals' four runs were
earned off the three-hit pitching
of Lyman Linde whose creditable
slants gave him his fourth win of
(he season.

Sport Parade
By Oscar Fraley
New York. May 4 (IP) When 33
sleek racing cars roll down the
red brick straightaway at Indian
apolis on Memorial day to get
the green flag which starts them
on a breathless 500-mile journey,
two lead-fooled dreamers with
similar names won't bo (here.
One is Ted Horn:
The other Is Byron Home.
For Byron it would have been
the realization of an ambition.
The young driver from Pennsyl
vania was in the 38th lap of his
100-mile test to qualify for the
500. Something went wrong and
he crashed head-on Into a brick
wall.
As for Ted, he was killed In a
crash at Duqoin, III., last October.
A gay, genial man, he had won
just about everything in racing
but in 10 tries never was able to
take this biggest one of 'em all.
Ample Warning
Ted Horn had plenty of warn
ings before he rolled over a fence
into eternity at the Duqoin fair
grounds race track. But he had
been born with a love of mechani
cal speed and never c6uld get it
out of his blood. .
At 14 he had a "hot rod" a
souped up Ford. And one year
later ho started his racing career.
Ted was only 18 the first time he
cracked up and was injured se
riously at the Ascot speedway.
For two years he retired, resist
ing the ever present urge until he
could stand it no longer. He re
turned to the cockpit in 1930. Two
years later he was injured again,
his back punctured twice in a
crack up at Los Angeles.
And trouble continued to fol
low him at two year intervals. In
1935 he went through a wooden
wall at Lewistown, Pa., escaping
with a plank driven into his right
shoulder. And In 1937 he was
nearly scalped in a five-car crash
at Nashville.
But Ted had chosen his lot and
he stuck to it. He was a real
champion, too, head of all drivers
for three years and holder of 68
individual track records.
Yet, never did he win the big
one.

Senators Take
Slugging Honors'
In Qwn League
By Carl I.untlqiiisl
(Ilnitnl-rrcss Simla Writer)
New York, Mav 4 Uli It just
doesn't make sense, it's like. Lefty
Gomez trying to break Babe
Ruth's home run record, but just
the same It is true, the Washing
ton Senators suddenly are the
new slugging experts of the
American league.
Hitting an all-time team high
of seven homers in one game
yesterday, the Senators shell
shocked the White Sox at Chi
cago, 14 to 12, in 10 innings to
amaze, everybody who ever look
ed at a box score.
The Senators supposedly are the
powder-puff batsmen of baseball.
Traditionally, they hit fewer
homers than any team in the ma
jors. Last year they didn't get
their seventh homer ror the sea
son until June 8. And today they
lead the American league with 15.
A year ago they didn't get their
15th homer until July 30 when the
season was more than half over.
Break Tie Scoro
With the score tied at 12 all,
Washington clinched things in the
10th with the homers by Gil Coan
and Al Evans. Chicago also got
two homers, by Joe Tipton' and
Gus Zernial.
The Yankees, winning tlfelr 11th
game in 14 starts, topped the
Browns, 5 to 3, at St. Louis with
an eighth inning rally in which
a double by Tommy Henrich and
a single by Bobby Brown provid
ed the winning edge.
The Red Sox and Tigers battled
to a 13-inning, 14 to 14 tie in a
slugging bee at Detroit caled be
cause of darkness.
In the National, Riflin' Ralph
Branca of Brooklyn became the
first big league pitcher to win
four games when he shut out the
Reds, 3 to 0 on eight hits.
Pitches 5 Hitter
Walt (Monk) Dubiel of the Cubs
pitched a five-hitter under the
lights at Boston lo beat the
Braves. 4 to 0, and cut their
league lead (o a half-game.
Home runs by Willard Marshall,
Sid Gordon, and Mickey Living- used three of them along with
ston, all of them off Murry Dick- three walks and a hit batsman In
son, led the Giants to a 7 to 3 the seventh Inning to score six
night win over the Pirates at Now runs and beat the Cartlinals, 7
York. to 3, at Philadelphia.
The Phils got only five hits, but Cleveland and Philadelphia in
the American were not scheduled,
Europe's disastrous Black
Death of the 14th century was
spread, in part at least, by mice
and rats. .
