    BoSox Stall
Wins; Nats
By the Associated Preul
If the Boston Red Sox ever
catch up with the New York
Yankees in their season-long
American league pennant chase,
most of the credit must be given
to their much maligned pitching
staff.
In the last five weeks, during
which time the Red Sox have
picked up six and a half games
on the front - running Yankees,
Boston hurlers have pitched 25
complete games in 34 starts. As
a result, they've won 25 of them
to whittle their deficit to five
and a half games. On July 4 the
Red Sox trailed the leaders by
12 games.
Ellis Kinder, the Red Sox'
righthanded ace, is the latest
to go the route. He finished
what he started last night,
beating the Yankees, 6-3, for
his 13th victory against five
losses.
Kinder permitted the Yankees
10 hits, including a pair of home
runs by Outfielder Hank Bauer,
but an early 5-0 lead furnished
. by Birdie Tebbetts and Ted Wil-i
Hams barried him through. Teb
Hillsboro Snares Legion
Title, Berth in District
Albany, Ore., Aug. 10 m '
Hillsboro captured the Oregon
American Legion junior base
ball .championship .last .night
and a berth in the regional
tournament starting in Portland
Friday. '
The upstate team won the
crown by drubbing the Portland
Byerly's 11 to 1, in a second
game of the night after the chal
lengers from the big city edged
Hillsboro, 9 to 8, in the first.
A hillsboro victory in that
initial game would have given
the previously unbeaten team
the crown on six straight, but it
wasn't that easy. In that first
game, Byerly's took an early
lead and then snuffed off a
ninth inning Hillsboro rally at
one run to squeeze out the 9 to
8 win. Hillsboro got eleven hits
off Jim Peterson, who went the
route, but he had scattered them
effectively in all but two in
nings. The second game was vir
tually no contest, with five
runs In the fifth icing the
crown for Hillsboro. Jim Nier
man, who played first base in
the initial contest, hurled two
hit ball while his team mates
loosed a 12-hit barrage off
three Portland pitchers.
Named outstanding players
were Byerly's Ray Hyde, a
pitcher; Hillsboro's Bobby
Frantz, an infielder; Dave Mon
tagne, Byerly outfielder and

Stars Trim

The Hollywood story (the
baseball team) is an amazing
one. From June 1 through Aug.
9, the Stars won 36 games and
lost 35, a little better than .500
ball, Yet, today they still lead
the Pacific Coast league by' 5 ',4
games. On June 2, their lead was
six games.

Ban Dieto at Ban Francisco postponed.
It is unusual, to say the least,
for a club playing 50-50 ball to
maintain such a wide lead. But
there's a reason for it.
On June 2, San Diego and
Seattle were in second and third
place. Since then San Diego and
Seattle have played .471 and .479
ball, respectively the only two
teams to fare worse than Holly
wood. . Sacramento and Oakland are
now in second and third place.
They were in the second divi
ion on June 2.
With such mathematical luck
and the way they played Tues
day night the Stars look like
a good bet to stay in front the
rest of the way. The Stars
spotted Portland two runs in
the first inning and then went
n to win 6 to I. It was Pinky
Woods' 17th win.
Ken Holcombe, ace of second
place Sacramento's mound staff,
won his 10th win in a row as he
set down Los Angeles with five
hits for a 11 to 4 triumph. Jim
Tabor hit his third homer in two
nights.
Jackie Jensen, often a hero
for California on the gridiron,
was just that for the Oakland
Oaks. He slammed a ninth
lnninr grand slam homer to
break up a tight pitching duel
and give the Oaks a 6 to 2 vic
tory over Seattle. His clout
came off Guy Fletcher, the
league's winningest pitcher.
Earlier, Jackie had slammed

Mulligan (general manager of
the Purtland-Salem baseball
combine.)"
"So far as this talk about re
moving the franchise from Sa
lem is concerned," Healy con
tinued, "I doubt if the league
would authorize any such trans
fer. ,
"There was a great deal of
trouble when the franchise was
moved to Salem from Belling
ham before the war, and they'd
have just as much if not more
trouble trying to shift it out
of here."
Healy, who was connected
with the management of the
Bellingham club for a year in
pre-war days summed up the
opinion of his backers and him
self by flatly stating:
"Salem is a good baseball
town. All it needs is a ball
club."
Meanwhile, George Emigh,
business manager for the Sa
lem Senators, disclosed that
Mulligan had come to Salem
Tuesday to study the "reaction"
to accounts that the franchise
be sold or transferred.
He added a new lure to the
sales campaign line by point
ing out that the Salem school
board might figure in plans.
One of the proposals in the
past has been for the school
group to purchase the physi
cal plant of the park while
the franchise is sold separate
ly. Frank Bennett, " superintend
ent of Salem schools, however,
said that the idea had been
discussed, but not with any
individual or group interested
in the purchase of the club. He
said that no new approach had
been made to him and that he
doubted if board members had
been asked for opinions. The
board met Tuesday night and
did not consider any subject
relative to the park or Senat
ors. Surinam is increasing its ship

Bremerton While Salem
about the threat of moving the Western International league
franchise from that city, the topic of all the conversation
the Salem Senators were hanging a 7 to 6 defeat on Brem
erton Tuesday night,
A single by Bill Burgher in
the 10th inning, which scored
Wayne Peterson from second
was the deciding run in the ser
ies opener.
Bremerton had left off with
two runs in the first inning off
Salem starting Hurler Jim Ol-
sen, and Salem got back one of
these tallies in the top half of
the second.
Another Brem uprising in the
sixth shoved the Tars out front
4 to 1.
Salem went to work on Brem
erton chucker Dave Dahle in
the seventh inning, and before
the Solon half of that frame
was completed, Dahle was yank
ed in favor of John Marshall and
the Oregonians had pushed
across five runs to give them
6-4 advantage.
nut the hometowners came
back strongly in their half of
the seventh, sending Olsen to
the showers as they racked up
pair of runs. That knotted
the count at 8-all.
Jimmy Foster and Bill Os-
born finished out the pitching
duties for Salem, holding Brem
erton scoreless.
In the 10th inning, Wayne
Peterson singled, then stole sec

Mangrum, a dapper -Texan who

by the unintentional generosity
of Sam Snead.
Larruping Lloyd posted a one

Snead overcame a five-stroke

But on the final nine, while

Charles Rules Favorite
To Stop Gus
New York, Aug. 10 m
Ezzard Charles rules a solid 5
to 18 favorite to punch 34-year-old
Gus Lesnevich full
of holes tonight at Yankee
stadium in the first defense of
his newly-won NBA heavy
weight boxing championship.
The 15-round bout is scheduled
for 7 p. m. (Pacific Daylight
time).
Only 49 days after he cauti
ously outboxed Jersey Joe Wal-
cott to win the crown, the lean
28-year-old Cincinnati Negro
rushes to the post in an effort to
convince New York skeptics of
his right to be called "champ."
No matter how soon he may
knock out Gus, if at all,
Charles will not be champ in
New York state. Eddie Eagan,
chairman of the state Athletio
commission, has ruled the
winner must meet Lee Savold
or "some suitable opponent"
before he gives his official
blessing. Ezzard is king in the
other 47 states.
It figures to be a good fight,
while it lasts, perhaps even sen
sational, lor Lesnevich is pre
pared to shoot the works early.
The vet from Cliffside Park, N.
J. can punch with either hand.
He says he will go to Charles'
body but may surprise by head
hunting with his stiff left hook.
Al Weill, IBC matchmaker,
was busy on the overseas tele
phone yesterday, lining up Sa
vold, the Englewood, N. J. vet
eran, for a shot at the Charles
Lesnevich winner. After Bill
Daly, Savold's manager, agreed,
provided Bruce Woodcock's re
tirement became definite, our
Brucie changed his mind and de
cided to fight.
