Top Battles Expected to
Aid Indian, BoSox Chances
By FRED DOWN
(United Prtu Bporti Writer)
New York, July 21 (U.R)The
Detroit Tigers and New York
Yankees begin their first-place
showdown tonight in the first
clash of a three-game aeries
while two uninvited gnests hope
to crash the pennant party.
Both the hard-driving Cleve
land Indians and explosive Bos
ton Red Sox planned to break
Into the flag struggle in a big
way while the two leaders cut
their own throats in hand-to-hand
struggles. A four-way race,
similar to the National league's
muddle, was a possibility by
Sunday night.
Here's how the American lea
gue's "big four" shaped up:
The Tigers still held a EH
game lead over the Yankees
but have given ground to
both New York and Cleveland
trace the July 4 theoretical
halfway point of the race. The
Yankees had won 11 of 11
games and sliced two games
off Detroit's lead while Cleve
land's 10-5 pace had cut a half
game off it. The Tigers have
i won nine of 14 since July 4.
' The Red Sox were 8lA games
off the pace and had split 14
games since July 4 but were in
much the same position as a
year ago today when their drive
on first place was gaining mo
mentum. Their first-place defi
cit, in fact, was exactly 8
games a year ago the same as
it is today.
The Sox showed they were
n't ready to roll over and play
dead yesterday when they
spotted Art Houtteman and
Detroit a 5 to 0 lead and came
'. on to win, 6 to 5, on Dom Di
Maggio's Uth-inning double
which tallied Billy Goodman.
Walt Dropo and Bobby Doerr
blasted ' homers for the Sox
while Pat Mullin hit an inside-the-park
homer for the Tigers.
Relief Pitchers Chuck Stobbs
and Ellis Kinder held the Ti
gers to one hit through the
last eight innings, with Kinder
picking up bis ninth victory of
the season.
Cleveland beat the Philadel
phia A's, 3 to 2, in 11 innings in
the only other A.L. game yes
terday to advance to within 4
games of the Tigers. Sad Sam
Zoldak, who relieved Steve
Gromek, won his own game
with a single after Bob Kenne
dy's ninth-inning homer tied
the score.
The pressure of the four
way National league scramble
began to show unmistakably
" on the contenders as the Car
dinals, Phillies and Dodgers
all bowed to second-division
teams.
The Dodgers suffered the most
bitter blow a twin defeat at
the hands of the reincarnated
Cincinnati Reds last night. Ken
Raffensberger held the Dodgers
to eight hits to beat Don New-
combe, 3 to 1, in the opener and
Ewell Blackwell threw a seven-
hitter to win the second game,
6 to 2. The Reds hottest team
In either league have now won
SI of 29 games, a .724 pace and
are within a half game of the
sixth-place Giants.
The . Reds settled matters In
the first game with a two-run
rally in the first inning and
snapped a 2-2 tie in the seventh
Third Baseman

Kansas City Blues of the Am

Small Streams Poor, Other
Spots Good for Fishermen

valley streams are now in poor
shape for trout fishing and the
Abiqua, Butte, Silver and Drift

Seattle's Star Hurler
Chases 16th
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The baseball banshees, all the
jinxes and gremlins which have
guarded .Pacific .Coast .league
pitching records for 41 years,
emerge in force tonight to haunt
28-year-old gent named Jim
Wilson.
When right hander Wilson
takes the mound for Seattle in
quest of a record-equaling 16th
straight triumph, he not only
must contend with the bats of
the Hollywood Stars. He must
also face the whammy,' scourge
of all pitchers, curse of all base
ball.
Wilson must shoulder a bur
den his team mate, Charley
Schanz, could not carry last
night, Schanz, just back from
the American league, chucked a
four hitter, yet the Hollywood
ace, Jack Salyeson, beat him 1
to 0.
Every mind at Gilmore field
tonight will have a single
thought: can big Jim tie the
record set by Frank Browning
of San Francisco in 1909?
Wilson has been winning
steadily since May 3. Seven of
his wins have been shutouts.
If last night's contest fore
shadowed anything, then Wilson
is shipwrecked before he gets
aboard, Salveson and Schanz
duelled scorelessly until the
ninth, when Murray Franklin's
bases-loaded single gave Holly.
wood the game. Salveson, whose
record now stands at 13-1, yield
ed seven hits. It was his 10th
straight win.
Elsewhere along the circuit,
the proceedings were nearly
as spectacular. Oakland main
tained its three game lead by
lacing Portland in a 9 to 6 hit
orgy and High Herman Besse
cranked Los Angeles to a 2 to
0 shutout over Sacramento.
Both he and Harry Gumbert
pitched four hitters.
At San Diego, Jackie Tobin's
pinch hit homer with the bases
full in the 10th inning gave San
Francisco an 8 to 4 conquest of
Cow Camp and Snow Creek
areas offer good fly fishing. The
lower Deschutes is clear and fly
fishing in early morning and late
evening reported good.

Bear sluggers, took it on the
chin last night as Bob Costello,
John Tierney, Gene Valentine
and Bill Spaeter were rapped
for 14 solid blows.
Costello, starting chucker,
worked four innings. During his
stay the Bears tallied three
times, but none of the runs was
earned. Tierney came on in the
fifth and promptly walked four
batters and five runs were
notched off him during his one
third of an inning.
Valentine stuck it out for
innings and then turned the job
of halting the Bears over to
Spaeter. The latter was tagged
for eight hits and five runs.
Each night one of the Salem
batters has come through with
three hits. Last night it was
AI Drew's turn. The other five

'Model Boy' of Ring Being
Groomed with New Punches
By JACK CUDDY
United Frees Sporte Writer
Greenwood Lake, N. J., July
21 (U.RX Here, where the Ram-
apo mountains dip green fingers
into a postal-card lake, blond
Charley Fusari the ring's
"model boy" is being remod
eled for his title fight with wel
terweight champion Bay Rob
inson. They are scheduled for 15
rounds at Roosevelt Stadium,
Jersey City, August 9.
Slender, clear-skinned Char
ley is generally rated "the nic
est boy in boxing" because of
his lily-white personal conduct,
his devotion to his parents, his
religious fervor, and his work
with juvenile delinquents.
Charley's aura of cleanli
ness has even permeated one
of his investments. The 24-year-old
knockout specialist
from Irvington, N. J., is a
water merchant. He now
owns a company that sells bot
tled spring water in New Jer
sey cities. And his father,
Ignazio, owns a milk route In
Irvington and Newark. No
"giggle soup" for the Fusaris.
Unfortunately, the Fusari's
'Grade A" for milk, water and
deportment may have little ef
fect upon the ring officials in
Jersey City when Charley
squares off against brown
skinned Sugar Ray of Harlem,
who is generally rated the
world's No. 1 fighter in any div
ision today.

Williams Starts
To Exercise Elbow;
Eyes Early Return
Boston, July 21 (U.R) Ted
Williams began a long grind of
exercises and treatments today
in hopes of getting his broken
left elbow in playing shape be
fore the baseball season ends.
He was cheerful and more op
timistic than the doctors who
operated on him after he suf
fered the injury in the All Star
game at Chicago July 11. They
had made no promises, but said
they hoped he would be back
before the season is over.
'I think I'm going to come
around a lot sooner than they
think," Williams said. "The
arm's not painful and you can
pretty well say it's going to be
all right."
Williams was released from
the Sancta Maria hospital in
Cambridge yesterday, six days
after doctors removed several
bone fragments from his left el
bow. The cast was removed and
his arm was in a sling. The
stitches will probably be taken
out Saturday and then whirlpool
treatments will begin.

That's why Tony Marsillo
a swarthy, youngish, black-stub-
bled trainer plans to have his
modern "Kid Galahad" use new
weapons of destruction in his
one-night crusade against Rob
inson.
"He'll be nslng new punches
and a different style," Marsillo
explained. "We're remodel
ing him for this fight. You'll
be surprised when you see him
at Jersey City." .
Trainer Tony, a brother of
Manager Vic Marsillo, added
that Charlej probably could
fight in his usual style and beat
Robinson, "who'll be weakened
by weight-making, when he
pares down to 147 pounds for the
first time since his fight with
Kid Gavilan last July."
But Tony emphasized: "We're
not taking any chances. There's
too much at stake. We want to
be sure of winning, and I mean
s-u-r-e. Naturally, I can t make
public the changes we're putting
in. Maybe the boxing writers'll
be able to catch them when he
begins sparring Saturday."
With a wnile-toothed grin,
he added, "And maybe they
won't."
Tony declined to disclose
whether Fusari would have
secret workouts. He admit
ted, however, that Charley has
been taking "special" exercise
for his new style during the
three weeks he has been con
ditioning here at Teddy Glea
son's camp.

Becomes Active
Pitcher Again
Boston, July 21 W.R) Baseball
life began anew at 40 today for
Bucky Walters of the Boston
Braves as he doffed the robe of
coach and became an active
pitcher again.
General Manager John Qulnn
of the Braves put the veteran
righthander back on the firing
line in the ardent hope that his
throwing arm has enough vic
tories left in it to keep the sur
prising Bostonlans In the thick
of the pennant fight.
An incidentally, Qulnn thus
gave Walters an unexpected
chance to enter one of baseball's
most exclusive clubs the 200-
