Sports Parade
By Jack Cuddy
New York, July 20 U.R Lady
Luck got cockeyed with the heat
over the week-end and shifted
rollicking Rollie Hemsley
straight from baseball's bone
yard to the pennant-bound Yan
kees when Catcher Buddy Rosar
jumped the club and shuffled off
to Buffalo.
It was one of the screwiest
double plays in major league
history. Backstop Rosar tossed
aside his Yankee uniform to try
for a policeman's job in Buffalo.
Then, because of this escapade,
Ralston Burdett Hemsley was
called to the rescue. Hemsley,
the discarded playboy, who was
released on Friday by the Cin
cinnati Reds for weak hitting.
One uncouth observer re
marked: "In this goofy deal, the
pot replaced the kettle."
We talked to the three princi
pals involved, and we will tell
you exactly what they said.
Rosar (on the telephone
from Buffalo) explained
that for a long time he had
had a yen to become a po
liceman, At last he had his
chance, by taking a civil
service examination during
the week-end. He asked
' Marse Joo McCarthy of the
Yanks who incidentally
also lives in Buffalo if he
could have a couple of days
off, Marse Joe said no. So
he dood it, anyway,
Rosar, speaking on Sunday,
said, "I took the examinations
today, here in Buffalo the
mental, physical, agility and
written. If I have passed, I'll
be admitted to the force. No,
that doesn't mean that I'll quit
baseball. I'll work on the force
during the off-season, and take
a leave of absence to play ball
during the summer time. No,
the draft had nothing to do with
It. I'm in 3-A, I'm married and
have a 15-months old daughter,
Mary Ann, and my wife expects
another baby any day now."
McCarthy In the dressing
room at Yankee stadium, be
tween games of yesterday's dou
bleheader with the White Sox,
said, "Rosar asked me for a
couple days off. I told him It
was impossible what with Bill
Dickey out for a week or so
with a bad shoulder, leaving
only rookie Kddie Kcarse, who
needs more seasoning.
"I knew I had to have an ex
perienced catcher immediately,
and I remembered that Hemsley
had been released by th Reds on
Friday. So I telephoned him at
Cincinnati and ho took the job
To keep within the 25-plnycr
limit, I optioned Kearse to New
ark, since Rosar sllll Is a mem
ber of the club."
Hemsley, who flew to New
York and caught both ends of
yesterday's doublrhcnder, also
was interviewed In the stadium
dressing room. He said, "I was
sitting in my apartment at Cln
cinnatl Saturday evening, won
dering where I would go next
I had a couple Irons in the fire
but nothing too hot.
"All of a sudden the
phone rang and a guy says
he's McCarthy of the Yanks
offering me a Job. At first
I thought somebody h is
kidding me. But then I
renllted It wasn't a rib and
1 felt so dnrned good thnt
tears almost came to my
eyes. What a feeling let
out by the Rods on Friday
and hired by the Yanks on
Saturday, Yes, I guess It
was the greatest break I
ever got. Anyway, four
hours later I was on a plane
heading for New York."
China now has 4,500,000 men
under arms, 2,000 more in train
ing and more than 30 officers'
training academies.

Turpin Wins
16th Game of
Coast Season
(Br the Aiuoeiat'd Prt.a)
The Seattle Rainiers moved
into a tie for fourth position in
Pacific Coast league standings
this week-end as a result of
three successive one-run victor
ies over Oakland while Port
land's drive to get out of the
cellar bogged down badly
against Hollywood with three
defeats.
Farmer Hal Turpin chalked
up his 16th win of the season
yesterday with a tight four-hit
performance against the Oaks. to
win 3 to 2 in the opener. The
Rainiers hit safely 10 times but
were unable to bunch their bin-
glcs for an impressive run total.
In the nightcap, the Seattle
squad pulled the game out of the
fire in the seventh inning with
one run to win 4 to 3 while two
Rainier hurlers held the Oaks
to five safeties.
Saturday's game was won 7 to
6 after nipping a ninth inning
rally of the Oaks fter one run
was scored.
Hollywood also won by 7 to 6
over Portland in Saturday's
game and then pounded the
Beavers for 25 hits yesterday to
take the twin bill, 7 to 1 and 8
to 5.
The Stars broke up a pitching
duel in the eighth inning of the
opener with six runs to break
a one-all tie and then took an
early lead in the nightcap which
they 'never relinquished. The
Beavers threw a short scare into
the Oak ranks with a four run
ninth inning but were halted
before they could do real dam
age.
The Stars moved from seventh
to sixth place in winning the
double bill.
The Los Angeles Angels con
tinued their fast pace with a
triple win over San Diego to
lengthen their league leadership
by two full games and clouted
San Diego from undisputed pos
session of third place to a tie
for fourth.
Angel pitchers made powder
puff hitters out of the erstwhile
slugging Padres, nearly shutting
them out in both Sunday games,
winning the first 3 to 1 and the
second 6 to 1. Los Angeles' Sat
urday margin was 7 to 3.
Sacramento, ousted only last
Friday from the top after a ten
ure of several weeks, went into
the week-end with a chance at a
comeback in two doubleheaders.
Instead, San Francisco downed
the Solons three straight before
losing Sunday's nightcap and
took over third place by a single
percentage point.
The Seals won Saturday's
games 4 to 3 and 10 to 0 and
Sunday's opener 5 to 4. Sacra
mento took the nightcap 11 to 7.

Short Jump
From Cellar
The Salem Senators, just two
percentage points removed from
the Western International league
cellar, will return to Geo, E.
Waters park tonight for a series
with the Spokane Indians. The
game is scheduled for 8 o'clock
and the series will continue
through next Sunday. Since the
two clubs were rained out a
number of times early in the
season it is probable a number
of doubleheaders will be played
during the week.
'By the Associated Press)
Cellar - dwelling Spokane
shoved idle Vancouver into first
'place in the Western Interna
tional baseball league yester
day by defeating Tacoma in both
games of a double-header, 5-3
and 6-5, The second game went
12 innings.
Vancouver, which did not play
because of the ban on Sunday
baseball in British Columbia,
found itself only three slim per
centage points ahead of Taco
ma in swapping first and sec
ond places, and the league stand
ing back where they were sev
eral weeks ago.
Spokane started Tacoma's
downfall Saturday night, beat
ing the Tigers, 7-2, while Van
couver was catching up with a
double victory over Salem, 9-0
and 9-5.
Spokane opens a week's play
at Salem today while Tacoma
starts a five-day stand at Van
couver tomorrow.
The Indians pounded Taco
ma's Fred Bradley for 16 hits
in yesterday's first game. Spo
kane's Bill Garland kept Ta
coma's seven hits fairly well
scattered. Morry Abbot hit his
ninth home run of the season
for the Tigers in the sixth with
a man on.
The second game, which was
scheduled for only seven in
nings, was tied up in the sixth
at 5-all. In the 12th, Vic Buc
cola, Spokane first baseman,
walked, went to second on a sac
rifice and scored on Joe Rus
so's single.
Hub Kittle, acting manager of
the Indians since the indefinite
suspension of Ray Jacobs Sat
urday, pitched the whole game
for Spokane.
Jacobs, sitting in a grandstand
box almost directly behind the
Spokane dugout, was accused
of directing his club and was
ushered from the park by a
policeman at the direction of the
umpire after a 15-minute Inter
ruption of the game, midway in
the contest.
President Robert Abel of the
league would not say when he
would act on his suspension of
Jacobs and Pitcher Bob Moll

tending their winning streak to
