Takes Two Wins
By DO.Y TIIACKREY
United Press Sport Writer
There is always a certain per
centage that doesn't get the.
word" and in Hie Pacific Coast
League that includes Seattle, Los
Angeles and Portland.
If those clubs had paid attention
to what the experts said before, the
season started, they would realize
that they have no business running
one-two-three at the top of the loon.
All three clubs celebrated May
Day yesterday by taking double
wins, .
Upstart Los Angeles whacked
favorite Hollywood twice, .7-5 and
5-0, and would have taken over the
league lead if Seattle had faltered.
But the top dog Rain iers didn't
stumble. They winged past San
Diego 4-3 in the first game and 6-5
In a 12-inning nightcap.
Oakland Split
Portland took care of Sacramen
to 9-8 and 30 on the big bat of
Dick Whitman and San Francisco
split with Oakland. The Oaks won
3-2 and then the. Seals triumphed
1-0.
In all there were five games de
cided by a single run and three
shutouts.
Los Angeles pounded out 10 hits
In the opener to offset dome runs
by Bobby Del Greco and Leo Walls
and win that game. Then In the
second contest Jim Brosnan allow
ed but three safeties in copping the
decision. Bob Talbot homered with
one on In the filth inning to assure
the victory.
Seattle won a couple of closies
from San Diego with Elmer Sin
gleton prevailing over Ed Erautt
in the opener a'though Singleton
had to be relieved. Each team got
five hits and Lddie Kazuk homer
ed for the losers.
The second game was supposed
to be seven Innings but turned out
to be 12 instead. Monty Basgall'R
single in the. 12th broke up the
game and gave the loss to Al
Lyons. Bill Brenner took credit for
the win. Bob Balcena and Ray
Orteig homered for Seattle to keep
the game going past the regulation
point.
Two-Run Homer
Whitman hit a two-run homer in
the eighth frame to climax a come-from-behind
effort by the Portland
'Beavers. Sacramento scored eight
runs in the first three Innings of
the first game and that was, all
they got all atternoon.
The Beavers chipped aw.ny un
til Whitman's homer erased the
Sacramento lead. Glenn Elliott got
credit for the win and Milo Candini
was Ihe victim.
In the second game veteran Red
Adams held the solons to five hits
and fanned eight in posting the
win. Again Whitman was the big
gun, hitting a two run homer in
the. third for the first Beaver
tallies. .
Boh Cain needed help from Allen
Gettel In the ninth but managed to
get it as ho bested Steve Nngy In
the first game ot a cross-bay split.
In Ihe second game veteran
knuckleballlng Gene Benrdnn rut
Ihe Oaks off with four hits and
scored the winning run himself
Bearden checked across In the
fifth with Ihe only run after walk
ing. Dave Mellon drove, him honw
with a double.

Aging Bob Feller
Hurls One-Hitter
For 2 to 0 Win
By Fit ED DOWN
l ulled I'resB Sports Writer
The major leagues' long-suffering
hurlers turned back the clock
Sunday with Ihe season's most bril
liant mound performances to cele
brate the 35th anniversary of the
classic pitching duel of 'em all.
Bob Feller and Herb Score gave
26.595 Cleveland fans the day's top
thrill with a pair of dazzling per
formances as the Indians downed
the Boston Red Sox, 2-0 and 2-1.
First, the 36-year-old Feller tossed
the 12th one-hitter of bis fabulous
career. Then, Score, who was only
lour years old when Feller pitched
his first one-hitter In 1938, struck
out a' season's high of 16 batters
and threatened Feller's all - time
record of 18 strikeouts in one contest.
That Wasn't All
But that wasn't all. Johnny An
tonelli went 16 brilliant innings to
give the New York Giants a 2-1 ver
dict over the Cincinnati Redlegs;
Bob Turley turned in a sizzling
four-hitter as the New York Yan
kees scored a 6-1 win to snap the
Detroit Tigers seven-game win
ning streak and Ronnie Kline
'lipped a seven-hitter as the Pitts
burgh Pirates downed the St. Louis
Cords, 7-0. The Cards won the first
gnme of Ihe double-header, 4-3.
All in all, it was a fining celebra
tion for Ihe 25th anniversary of the
famous 26-inning, 1-1 pitching duel
between Leon Cadore of Brooklyn
and Joe Oeschger of Boston on
May 1,1020.
Feller, who holds the modern
records of three no-hltters and a
dozen one-hitters, pitched a no-hitter
for 6 1-3 innings before catcher
Sammy White singled cleanly to
center field. White s hit came after
Cleveland catcher Jim Hegan
couldn't- hold a potential third
strike foul tin on a 2-2 nitch. Onlv
four" Red Sox reached first l5ase
snfely as Feller gained his first
133.1 victory and the 263rd of his
career.
Scor Electrifies Crowd
The crowd si ill was buzzing over
roller s brilliant game whom Score
electrified it by striking out nine
Red Sox in the first three, innings.
Afler five frames, the 21-year old
southpaw had struck out 12 batters
and needed "only" six more to
equal Feller's mark set on Oct. 2
1038. He failed to got them but fin
ished tho game wilh a four-hitler
and his second major league tri
umph. Antnnelli nut-lasted five Cinei--nall
pitchers, striking out 11 Red
Ices nnd walking inly five in a four
hour and 13-minule test of endur
ance. The strong southpaw finally
got Ihe run he needed for virtory
on Kith-inning singles by Whitey
Lnekman. Don Mueller and pinch-
hitler Bill Taylor. The second game
of the scheduled double-header was
onslponod because of a local curfew.
Turley, who pitched a one-hitter
in his previous outing, yielded only
four singles and struck out six
Tigers as the Yankees moved into
a llirco-wuy lie for second place
behind Ihe Indians. Turley, whose
record now is -1-0. also nut the Yan
kees in front l slay with a double
1i : 1 1 broke a 11 deadlock In tin
firth inning.
Kline Wins First
Kline, a 23-year old right-hander

major hazard. SI 111, I cun't Imagine
what happened lo the others in the
