Portland Splits with
Coast League Leaders
San Francisco, Aug. 15 (U.R) The Hollywood Stars could thank
their lucky Angels today tor some timely hitting and pitching
In yesterday's Pacific Coast league games. The league leaden
themselves could do no better than a split, but the bottom
crawling Los Angeles Angels pulled down the Sacramento Solons
twice. All the other clubs split
Sunday bargain bills.
Hollywood dropped the open-
r to Portland 8-3, but salvaged
th second one 7-1. Oakland beat
Seattle 7-0, and then fell 3-2.
San Francisco got by San Diego
9-3 and then got bopped 3-2.
The Angels dropped Sacra
mento to five and one half
"games behind the Stars by win
ning 7-3 and 3-1. The second
game was a 12-inning thriller
that saw Sac hurler Ken Hol
combe's win streak snapped at
10 games.
In the first one Los Angeles
jumped on Frank Dasso for four
first inning runs and then held
to that lead. Lee Anthony went
the route for the angels and gave
up only seven hits. Cliff Aberson
parked the first inning rally
with a three-run home run.
Holcombe pitched good
enough ball to win his 11th
straight and 18th of the year,
but instead got his sixth loss.
The Sacs led 1-0 in the ninth,
but Los Angeles tied it and then
V got two more runs in the 12th.
I Cal McLish and Ken Gables
held the Solon batters to seven
hits.
Portland bombed three Star
pitchers for 15 hits in winning
the first one, but could only
solve Gordon Maltzberger for
three in the second. One of those
was a home run by Leo Thomas,
Dr. Frank Dierickx was the
loser.
Frank Nelson baffled Seattle
with seven hits to win his 11th
game in the first contest in the
north, but the Rainiers beat
Milo Candini in the second one.
Herb Karpel was the winner,
giving up seven hits.
The San Francisco Seals look
ed like cinchs to win two games,
but faltered in the last inning
of the second one. The seals
blasted Lyman Linde for seven
hits and five runs in the fourth
Inning of the first one to cinch
it and led 2-1 in the top of the
seventh of the second. With two
down Harvey Storey lofted to
Walt Judnich, but the veteran
outfielder made the Seals fourth
error of the game and Storey
wound up on second. A follow
ing single and a triple gave the
game to the Padres.

BoSox Continue to Press Leader
New York, Aug. 15 (U.R) The 1
continuous charge of the Bos
ton Red Sox is full of individ
ual success stories, the latest I
being "the comeback of hand-1
some Jack."
Jack Kramer, a husky hunk
of hurling hero, is handsome
enough to play in the movies.
But that's nothing compared to
the handsome way he has join
ed in the spirit of the Red Sox
surge, which today hoisted Joe
McCarthy's men into second
place in the American league
standings, a scant four games
behind the ' leading New York
Yankees.
When the Red Sox were
floundering on the road to obliv
ion those dark weeks leading up
to July 4, Kramer was as bad
as the worst of them. He lost
six straight games without earn
ing a victory all season.
'But as the Sox snapped out of
their sad sack sickness, so
Kramer came around, too. He
finally won his first game of the
season July 24 against the
Browns, even though he need
ed seventh inning relief. The
next time he did better, pitch
ing a six-hit victory over De
troit.
Yesterday he racked up win
No. 3, teaming with lefty Mel
Parnell for a doubleheader vic
tory over the Washington Sen
ators. Parnell won the first
game, 9 to 3, for his 18th of the
season. Kramer won the, sec
ond, 13 to 4, for his third.
And amid the Red Sox slug
ging, the leading Yankees didn't
do their cause much good
splitting a doubleheader with
Philadelphia, wining the first
game. 4 to 2, and losing the sec
ond on Alex Kellner's five-hit
pitching, 4 to 3.
Cleveland kept in the fight
with a double victory over the
White Sox, 4 to 3 and 5 to 0.
At Detroit Freddy Hutchin
son and Art Houtteman com
bined to give the Tigers 6 to
2 and 4 to S wins over the
Browns.
In the National league, It was
Brooklyn's turn to gloat. The
"to the finals while Hillsboro,
who lost in that game, had to
overcome Waipahu, 6-5, yester
day to return to the title test.
Butte, Lewiston and finally
Waipahu were dumped from the
double elimination play during
the week-end games here.
Once-beaten Hillsboro could
push tonight's test into an ex
tra game by winning the first.
But the unbeaten Bremerton
team had little trouble Satur
day night in handing the Oregon
boys the short end of an 11 To
6 decision.
The American League has won
12 of the 16 All-Star games
played since the series began in
1933.

Babe Ruth Not Forgotten
One Year After Death
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York, Aug. 15 (U.R) The Babe will have been gone a year
tomorrow and, while most baseball men feel that sooner or later
someone will surpass his "big 60," the world knows that records
aren't needed to remember George Herman Ruth.
It has been 22 years since the
60 home runs. That's a tremen
dous space of time in a game!
where records are made to be
broken as this greatest of them
all surely will be some day.

Yakima had its league lead

the second tilt, the Yaks got but

Bambino smashed his record
record books on some future
date. It will take a lot of do
ing against his total of 714 hom
ers; his winning the longest
game in series pitching history,
14 innings on the hill and his
series mark of 29 consecutive
shutout innings, among others.
But they 11 never erase the
glowing memory of the Babe.
For here was a man marked
for greatness, an intimate idol
atry which seemed to make him
i member of everybody's fam
ly. It was a magnetism out
lasting time which is impossible
to explain. Even the Babe felt
it, and couldn't put a finger on
it.
Sure, everybody knows me.1
he quipped one day. "Why not,
with the mush I've got.
But one thing is certain, he
nad a grip on the national imag
ination even the international
feelings such as no athlete
ever had, or probably ever will
have again. During his last ill
ness, just a year ago as letters
poured in from kids who never
had seen him, a doctor tried to
explain it.
"Why, because of what he
stands for. A kid from any
fork of the creek knows he can
make the grade if he's got what
it takes. You can't buy it. You
can't pay someone to do it for
you. It's just that kids are par
ticular about their heroes."
So it was that the kid from
Baltimore industrial school left
behind a legend, a moral home
run for others who started to
the plate with two strikes al
ready on them.
, And when he left, a year ago
tomorrow, he had had just about
everything he wanted except
one. That one unrealized de
sire was to manage the Yankees
the team he had made. The club
will dedicate a plaza to him to
morrow, just outside the tower
ing white walls, and you feel
almost as if it is a salve to the
club's conscience
For actually the Babe needs
no monuments.
They have them in the hearts
and the minds wherever he
played. Even outside the big
leagues, for the Babe barnstorm
ed all over, and there are mark
ers in Georgia cow pastures and
in Kansas fields. And In even
those remote places old timers
will come out and point, and say

Soap Box Derby Crown
Akron, O., Aug. 15 TO For the third time in the Jut fiv
years, an Akron entrant today wore the crown of all-Amrion
soap derby champion.
Racing yesterday over the national derby downs sours where
just last week he won the Akron district finals, 15-year-old Frsddy
ijerks roiiea nis Diack wainuti
speedster to victory over 147
other entrants from 40 states,
Panama, Canada and Alaska.
The youngster, who carved
the body of his mount from an
80-foot walnut tree, has a $5,000
college scholarship coming for
his victory. He said he planned to
study automotive design, but had
not selected his college.
A crowd of upwards of 50,-
000 sat in intense heat along
derby downs as the host of
champions battled it out in 78
trials. The kids were sponsored
by local newspapers. Several of
the writers who accompanied
them were emphatic in their sug
gestions that Akron refrain in
the future from holding its dis
trict trials on the derby downs
course.
Some said they thought fami
liarly with the titled track gave
to strangers:
"See way over there over the
top of that barn? That's where
I saw Babe Ruth hit a home
run."
As far as the Yankees arc
concerned, the recognition comes
a bit late.
As for the Babe, the kids don't
need anything to remember him
by not the graying kids of yes
terday, the apple-cheeked kids
of today, or those of tomorrow.
