THE BEND BULLETIN SPORTS NEWS GENERAL NEWS CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 33rd Year BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29. 1949 Sport Parade Padres Skid Info 5th Place In Coast League; Hollywood Stars Defeated by Oakland By Paul Hawkins (United Press Sports Writer) San Francisco, June 29 While most eyes wore focused on the cellar division battle between Los Angeles and San Fran cisco last night, the middle bracket clubs of the Pacific coast conference pulled a fast shuffle. The San Diego Padres suffered the most thoy skidded from third place into fifth and Oakland and Sacramento each moved up a notch into third and fourth place respective ly. The league leading Hollywood Stars, who so far have made a rout out of a so-called pen- nant race, were dimmed by the invading Oaks in a close one, 4-3. The win pulled the Acorns up into third place, the first time since May 27. Milo Candinl, out west from Washington's Sen ators, hurled a six hitter, and ookie Jackie Jensen came "through with a clutch single for the winning run to help the Oaks cause. Seals Win San Francisco, fighting desper ately to keep out of the cellar rhat Portland so recently vacated and Los Angeles inherited, came through with a ninth-inning tally to sneak by the Angels 5-4 In the bay city. The initial tilt of the nine game scries, which may decide posses sion of the unwanted booby slot, was won by the Seals on a ninth frame double by Cully Rikard, driving in pitcher Con Dempsey. It gave Dempsey his ninth win against seven defeats. Four An gel hurlers gave up a total of seven hits while Dempsey was passing out six. Seattle Dicked up a game on Hollywood by edging San Diego 3-1. The Suds collected six hits off Jesse Flores, three of them in the first inning good for their three runs. Denny Galehouse, a veter an from away back, gave up 10 hits to the Padres but spaced them in the right places. Sacramento invaded Portland and breezed along behind the sev en-hit pitching of Bob Gillespie to defeat the Bevos by a not-so-close 91. The Solons found the garden walls of the Portland ballyard to their liking. Ralph Hodgin, Walt Dropo and Bill Wilson all poled out roundtrippers to lead the bat ting barrage of 13 hits off Vince Dibiasi and Ad usKa. In Tournament Wimbledon, Eng., June 29 ir Ted Schroeder of La Crescenta, Calif., the only remaining Yank in men's singles, carried the, American hopes into the semi finals of the Wimbledon tennis championship today against Eric Sturgess, the steady South Afri can retriever. And in women's singles, top seeded Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Calif., and Mrs. Margaret Osborne Du Pont of Bellevue, Del., the U.S. amateur queen, were favored to turn back Brit ish opponents in the quarter finals. Mrs. Brough played Mrs. Molly Blair and Mrs. Du Pont met Mrs. Betty Hilton. Mrs. Patricia Can ning Todd of Xa Jolla, Calif., and Mrs. Helen Pedersen Rihbany of Boston, already were in the semis. In tsc other men's singles semi final, Jack Bromwlch, the ambi dextrous Australian who was beaten in the 1948 Wimbledon finals by Bob Falkenburg of Hollywood, Calif., squared off against Jaroslav Drobny, t h c chunky Czechoslovakian cham pion. Scattered doubles matches rounded out the remainder of the ninth day's program. New York, Juno 29 U' Mana ger Billy Southwoith today picked tne tsrooKiyn uoclgers and the St. Louis Cardinals as the clubs his Boston Braves will have to beat to retain the National league pennant but cautioned that "any club in the league can upset the apple cart. 'The others are strengthened. all down the line," the little skip per commented as he refused to predict a probable winner on the grounds that it was "far too early to tell." Billy the Kid pointed to the record as proof that no club has been able -to pile up a command ing lead, such as the Yankees have held in the rival American league. Still Wide Open "It's wide open," he insisted. "A winning streak by any club could put them up there." As for his injury -riddled Braves, Southwoith blamed the club's current dilemma on "lack of pitching." "That's most of our trouble," he asserted. "Our pitching isn't too hot. If we get better pitch ing, well . . ." The biggest blow to the Braves' hopes, however, was the injury ot both its first basemen, Earl Torgeson and Ray Sanders. Their replacement, Elbie Fletcher, was credited by Southworth with "do ing a pretty good job." Billy the Kid is high on Del Crandall, the 19-year-old catcher brought in from Evansvillo at the suggestion of Bob Coleman, former Braves manager. Cran dall gives the Braves one of the youngest batteries in major league history when he dons the pads to catch Johnny Antonelli, also 19. "Dell is six feet, two, and weighs 195," Southwoith said. "He has a good arm runs well and handles the pitchers well." Hits 380 Crandall currently is' hitting around the .380 mark after five full games. Running quickly through the league, Southworth insisted that the Chicago Cubs "looked good when he saw them"; that Cincin nati was "formidable"; Pitts burgh was "tough," and the Phil lies were "up and coming." But it was the Cardinals on whom he laid particular empha sis. "The Cards have the reserves now," Southworth said. "Marty Marion is back in the lineup and Lou Klein and Tom Glaviano give them protection. Also they have the outfield strength." As for Brooklyn, Southworth puts the Dodgers "on a par" with the Cards as the "two toughes)." But, while he isn't making any claims, you can tell he expects those Braves to start rolling soon. DiMaggio Aids Yankess With Home Run Clout New York, June 29 (til Joe (The Pro) DiMaggio was his old magnificent self today which could mean that the Yankees may be ready to make a runaway of the American league race. At least such a conclusion is logical. For without Joe the pro. the Yankees were able to win 41 of their first G!5 games for a com fortable first place of 4 'a games. They had more consistency, more bench depth, and most of the time better pitching than any other club. Now, with the tremendous psy chological lift they are bound to get with baseball's most illustri ous player back in action, they should he tougher then ever. Joltin' Joe provided the meas ure of difference between victory and defeat in his first big league ball game o 1949 last night in Boston when he' hit a two-run homer, a single, and save a 5 to 4 victory over the Red Sox in the ninth with one pf his personally patented "run-a-mile" catches of a smash by Ted Williams to end the game. Athletics Win The second place Athletics won an easy 6 to 1 decision from the Senators in Washington as Alex Kellner, their surprise pitching star, hurled seven-hit ball to win his 11th game and fifth in a row. At Cleveland the Indians won a 4 to 2 decision from Detroit in which Bob Lemon pitched eight- hit ball to win his eighth victory and Mickey Vernon hit a two-run homer. Jerry Priddy, back after a brief layoff due to a pulled leg muscle. drove in the winning .run in the 12th with a single and earlier hit a homer as the Browns topped the White Sox, 7 to 6 at Chicago. Duke Snider's three-run homer gave the Dodgers a 5 to 3 vic tory over the Phillies in which Pitcher Preacher Roe struck out nine batters in winning his sev enth game. Lefty Howie Pollet kept the Cardinals just a game behind Brooklyn when he pitched an eight-hit, 5 to 0 shutout over the Cubs. A home run and three-hit pitch ing by Clint Hartung gave the Giants a 2 to 1 triumph over the Braves at New York. The Reds and Pirates were rained out at Pittsburgh. Mondschein Leads in Decathlon No. 174 Tulare, Cal., June 29 Hl'i Irving Mondscliein, veteran New York athlete and former cham pion, vaulted into the leadership of the 1919 AAU decathlon here today with 4.025 points at the end of five events.

Billy Albans, of the University of North Carolina, was in third place at the end of five events with 3.8GG points. The only other man in the field of 19 competitors who appeared to have a chance of winning the crown is Flovd Sim mons of Chapel Hill, N.C., who was a weak fourth with 3,498. Albans and Mondscliein picked up a lot of their points in the lilsli . jump, where thev tied for first place at (i feet 3'i inches good for 922 points.
