If the Giants Had-'

Even so the Pirates outhit the
Giants, getting 15 blows off Lar
ry Jansen who finally staggered
to his first victory after being
knocked out four times previ
ously. Dixie Walker paced
Pittsburgh with three hits.
The Dodgers finally knocked
out Howie Fox, the only Cin
cinnati hurler who was able to
go the route against them last
year, winning a 5 to 1 decision
at Brooklyn in which Joe Hat
ten pitched seven hit ball to win
hit second game.
Lefty Ken Heintzelman of the
Phillies gained his fourth win
of the year by beating the St.
Louis Cardinals, 7 to 5, in a
night game although he needed
ninth-inning relief by Ken
Trinkle when the Cards staged a
three-run rally.
Big Johnny Sain, recovering
from a slow start, marked up his
second win by pitching the Bos
ton Braves to a 4 to 3 decision
over the Chicago Cubs
In the American league, two
strong-armed right handers, Vir
gil Trucks of Detroit and Vic
Raschi of New York, picked up
their fourth straight triumphs
Trucks ran over the Red Sox
with a three-hit, 5 to 1 job,
missing 8 shutout only when
Ted Williams hit his fourth
homer of the season and his
third in his last three games
Raschi wasn't as effective as
Trucks but got more long dis
tance hitting support in beating
the Browns, 10 to 5 at St. Louis.
Those suddenly amazing Sen
ators kept aiming for the fences
in Chicago, picking up three
more homers as they overcame
7 to 0 deficit and went on to
beat the White Sox, 8 to 7.
Two homers and a game sav
ing catch of a liner in the ninth
which he turned into a a double
play were Joe Gordon's con
tributions as the Indians beat the
Athletics, 4 to 3 in Cleveland
for Gene Bearden's third tri
umph.

Salem and Victoria split their Wednesday night twin bill
with Salem winning the first, 4-3, but dropping the nightcap,
16-6.
Bus Sporer looked like a new man, striking out five and giving
up only six hits and a free pass in the opener.
Victoria opened the scoring
for the evening in the second
canto when Wayne Peterson
tailed to come up with Hack's
hot grounder to third. He mov
ed to the third sack when Mor
gan singled to left and came
home on Sol Israel's hit to cen
ter. Here Sporer went to work on
Day and Maycock striking both
out to get out of the hole and
retire the side.
Mel Wasley led off the fourth.
dropping one behind first and
Bob Cherry followed with a
free trip. Orteig sacrificed. Al
Spaeter cracked a single to the
left garden to send both Wasley
and Cherry over.
Beard walked, Sporer sacri
ficed, but Maycock picked off
Spaeter at third to dampen the
Salem rally.
The Senators added two more
tallies in the sixth when Orteig
walked, Spaeter sacrificed,
Beard walked, Sporer singled
to center scoring Orteig. Wirt
dropped one In to score Beard.
Victoria bounced back with
two runs in the top of the sev
enth. Sporer gave his only walk
of the night to Israel, and Day
punched one through the hole
into left field, and a twin kill
and a strike out ended the game
after the two runs had scored.
The second game had every,
thing but a touchdown and i
field goal. The hot and cold Vic
toria squad looked like much
more than a cellar dweller
throughout the nine inning af
fair.
The Athletics collected their
18 runs on 15 hits and 11 walks.
They were helped along by two
Salem miscues. The Senators
garnered 14 hits, but had the
advantage of only five walks
and one error. The locals staged
a ninth-inning rally which pro
duced three runs which were
too little and too late.

Tough Luck Kid
"I can't afford to get hurt any more," commented Johnny
Bianco, Salem Senator right hander as he concluded a brief sketch
concerning his career as a diamond performer. And, certainly
the big fellow has had his share of tough going. In addition to
the war cutting a four-year slice out of his career, Johnny has
been stymied on no less than four occasions: (1) A bad appendix
while playing with Binghampton of the Eastern league; (2)
Broken ankle with Newark of the International league; (3) Hit
by a line drive while with Portland in 1947, and (4) typhoid
fever while playing with Beaumont in the Texas loop. The line
drive sidelined him for 16 weeks while the other mishaps cost
him much valuable time.
Blanco's Career
Born in New York City Feb. 2, 1922, Bianco was educated
in that place, graduating from Alexander Hamilton high
school. He then matriculated at St. John's university in
Brooklyn but cut his educational career to become a profes
sional baseball player. Flayed baseball and basketball In
high school and basketball at St, John's. His first pro ex
perience was with the Amsterdam club' of the Canadian
American league In 1939. In succession he moved to Bing
hampton and Newark and then joined up with the navy. As
a sailor he went wherever duty called and that was pretty
much over the globe. He traded his bell bottom trousers for
civilian attire in 1945 and the next season joined up with
the Kansas City club of the American Association. In June
he was sent to Beaumont. "About the only good thing I
can say of Beaumont is that Is the place where I met the girl
I later married," Bianco remarked. That was in 1946. The
next year he went to Portland where he was Injured by the
line drive. Back with Beaumont in 1948 he contracted ty
phoid and was ill a number of weeks. So, it isn't hard to
figure out that the big fellow hasn't had too much of a
chance to date. He is 6 feet J!4 Inches and weighs 194
pounds.
Players Must Take It
Regardless of the nature of
which at times becomes downright vitriolic and terribly per
sonal, baseball players are expected to shrug it off as a part of
the game. Jack Wilson, former
Tuesday night's game from the
Leo Durocher's case, expressed
Chandler should not have turned
loose without a penalty. Jack

the right to make any comment

in the direction of Bill Beard "get another pitcher," Jack grinned

Parking Charge Irks
The two-bit fee being currently assessed for the privilege
of parking automobiles on the property owned by the Salem
Baseball club management has aroused a mild storm of
protest. We recall Biddy Bishop experimented along this
line during the first year of organized baseball in Salem and
gave it up after a short try. The Senators are following the ,
practice established elsewhere and is an attempt to take care
of the additional expense of operating a ball club . , . This
correspondent has heard a number of requests for earlier
starting time at Waters park. They point out that seldom Is
a contest finished In less than two hours and frequently they
extend much longer. "That means we don't get home before
11 o'clock and that's too late for the average business man,"
one fan complained.

The top 10 rounder will bring

Stars Boost
Bevos Drop Homer Duel
(Br th. Aiuocl.t.d PrrM)
The film capital Is convinced it can turn out something besides
good movies good baseball clubs, for Instance.
The Hollywood Stars now are a game and a half ahead of ipc
ond place San Diego in the Pacific Coast league standings. Th
Stars took Seattle into camp 4-1
blanked the Padres, 4-0.
Glen Moulder allowed the
Rainiers but six hits and missed
shutout when Heini Becker
tripled in the sixth frame and
trotted home on Tommy Neill's
infield out.
A record crowd for the season
of 8.969 fans at San Diego saw
the Seals' Manny Perez shut out
the Padres by allowing but two
hits. Jess Flores held the Seals
scoreless until the eighth, when
Reno Cheso slammed a four
master to bring in Dino Restelli,
who had singled.
Oakland squeezed by Portland
7-6 in a game which saw seven
home runs. Acorns George Met-
kovich and Mel Duezabou each
smacked out a pair. It was the
ninth and tenth for Metkovich.
Lea Scarsella also connected
with a four-bagger for Oakland.
Ford Mullen and Johnny Ruck-
er did the homer honors for the
Beavers.
Oakland's five homers boost
ed the Acorn total for the sea
son to 45, strengthening their
lead in that department,
Trailing 6-5 going into the
last of the ninth, Acorn Ducza
bou doubled and went to third
on an error. Then Metkovich,
with two away, grand-slammed
for the victory.
