Spokane, Wash., Aug. 25 For
nearly three hours the Salem
Senators ' and Spokane Indians
went round and round last night
and when the groundskeeper fin
ally turned off the lights, the
visiting Solons were out in front
11 to 9. The win, chalked up by
Gene Peterson, although he was
jerked in the seventh, enabled
the visitors to return home with
the series on a 2 to 1 basis. Jim
Olson finished on the mound
for the winners while the In
dians employed four flingers in
an effort to pull the contest out
of the fire.
Andy Adams started for the
Indians and had a six to three
bulge going into the top of the
seventh when the roof collapsed
on him. Ken Kimball came in
and pitched a third of an inning
and when it was evident he was
no match for the hard slugging
Solons, John Conant took over.
Conant had two strikes and
three balls against Art Penning
ton when the Negro shortstop
powered the next pitch over the
right' center fence to score two
runs ahead of him. Lee Howard,
.who took over the first basing
Job after Larry Barton had been
chased for using language unbe
coming a gentleman, eventually
wound up on the mound.
The seven runs notched by the
Senators in the seventh came in
handy as the Indians came back
with three in their half to trim
the margin to a 10-9 basis. Sa
lem added another in the ninth
and then stood off the Spokes
as they tried to engineer a last
ditoh rally.
Pennington and Dick Bartle
each hit four for five and six
of the 17 Salem blows were of
the extra base variety,
Wenatchee downed Yakima 10

Belloise, 30 and nearly bald,
provided Robinson with such
stiff competition last night that
it seemed in the fourth and
fifth rounds he might turn in an
upset.. Steve had gone into the
ring an underdog at 3 to 1.
But near, the end of -the
seventh round, Robinson explod
ed such a terrific left hook on
Steve's chin that the Bronjt
Italian plummeted backward to
the canvas" and lay there with
blood streaming from his nose
as Referee Eddie Joseph waved

that Manager Eddie Walker noti-

Did Yankees Make Good
Deal in Acquiring Mize?
By CHARLES C. CAIN
(For Hugh Fullerton, Jr.)
Detroit, Aug. 25 W) Baseball
circles were divided today in
their opinions on whether the
New York Yankees had made a
wise move In their investment
of a bundle of cash for first
baseman Johnny Mize.
The ex-New York Giants star
first baseman joined the Yan
kees here Tuesday and1 showed
some of his former tremendous
hitting power in his first ap
pearance in batting practice. He
drove two balls into the Briggs
stadium stands before retiring
to the bench where he spent the
afternoon. . , - - -
Manager Red Rolfe of the Ti
gers was among those who
thought Mize would help the
New Yorkers a lot in their pen
nant drive. "Generally it isn't
until a player has been around
the circuit twice that the pitch
ers can pick out any hitting
weaknesses he may have and a
lot of them are not too familiar
with Mize's abilities," he said.
Yankee Manager Casey Sten
gel, although happy to get the
additional batting power offer
ed by Mize, was concerned over
two other problems one was

Pennant Chases in Both
Major Leagues Tighten
(By the Associated Preul
The spirited stretch battle between Brooklyn and St. Louis
may develop into a personal feud between the rival managers
of the pennant-hungry clubs. Thus far, Eddie Dyer, boss of
the Redbirds, has kept his peace. At least he hasn't openly
belittled the Brooks. But not old Burt Shotton. The 84-year-
oia ureDrana, sometimes reier-T
red to as "Battling Barney," is
simply boiling for a fight.
Nearly back to his normal
cocky self following a couple of
smashing victories over the Car
dinals, the silver-haired pilot of
the Brooks disdainfully referred
to the Redbirds as "Just a so-
so ball club."
"They're not. much," Shotton
dismissed the Cards today. "And
here's why. We've never felt
worse, played worse nor looked
worse than we have during the
past week. And yet those guys
could build up only a one-game
lead on us. In my book that
makes the Cards not so hot.
Informed of Shotton's remarks,
Dyer had this to say:
"Lets see, now, how have
Hildebrand, a German moun
taineer, has been to both before.
He was a member of a Ger
man exploration party that
claims to have made the first
ascent to Ruwenzori's peak, in
1937. The party also claimed
the first southern slope climb to
the peak of Kilimandscharo.
But the men took only ordin
ary -mountain-climbing equip
ment. They were some-what sur
prised to find that the equator
ial peaks offered good ski slopes
The war interrupted Hilde-
brand's chances of getting back
there with a pair of skis. Now
that the fighting is over, he is
eyeing the possibility again.
Why these East African moun
tains? Well, there is something
fascinating about these equator
ial peaks. Once seen, you want
to. see them again, he explains.
You reach the foothills with a
typical Jungle safari in steam
ing Weather. Then you start
climbing' and. you are in the
snow. ' . ' -
Hildebrand has climbed the
Matterhorn and Mt. Blanc but
still prefers East Africa.
Ruwenzori is 16,000 feet high
From a map it appears that it
slopes down directly across the
equator. Kilimandscharo is far
ther south but in the equatorial
region.
Anybody with good equip
ment and a good heart can climb
them," says Hildebrand.
Fred Egan's victory with Miss
Tilly in the Hamblelonian was
his second. The 69-year-old dri
ver scored with Spencer Scott
in 1940.

Shotton's Dodgers never
