Cop Third Straight
(By the Associated Press)
The pace of Pacific Coast
league baseball is mounting.
Last night at the northern end
of the loop, Seattle bested Port
land, 14 to 11, in a game which
had the fans on the edge of
their seats. The Rainers appar
ently had the game won by a
6 to 1 margin going into the
seventh when they staged a
wild rally that added eight runs
on seven hits.
Portland retaliated with an
eight-run riot in the eighth on
six safeties and an error and
then went on to score two more
tallies in the ninth. Jo-Jo White
saved the game for the Rainiers
with a shoe-string catch of Larry
Barton's line drive that came
with two outs and two men on.
Down south, Hollywood fans
saw their team halt the league
leading Los Angeles Angels' win
streak at 14 games with a 13
hit blast that humbled the An
gels, 21 to 1.
Oakland Third Baseman Les
Scarsclla poled out a three-run
homer in the ninth frame to
give the Oaks a 8 to 7 decision
over San Francisco.
Sacramento lost a 10-inning
game to San Diego, 2 to 4. as

12TH WIN IN
Boss Luke Sewell Being
Talked Manager of Year
Tribe Snaps Yank Wins
By Judson Bailey
Associated Press Sports Writer
James Luth.r (Luke) Sewell,
the 4i year-old pilot of the St.
Louis Browns, is being spoken
of these days as the manager of
the year and while this may be
premature. It couldn't happen to
a nicer guy as the saying goes.
Probably no manager of a,
fourth place club ever has been
considered for any such recog
nition before, but it has been a
long time since the Browns
have been in the first division
at this extended stage of the
American league pennant race.
The fact that the Browns now
not only are In fourth place,
but have won 12 of their last
14 contests and are just four
games back of the second place
Boston Red Sox, is a glowing
tribute to the leadership of the
soft-spoken university of Ala
bama alumnus.
Laabs Hits Three
Sewell caught five innings
yesterday while the Browns
went about beating the Phila
delphia Athletics 9-6. Chet
Laabs. who hrs developed into
a star recently, made three hits

This happened while the New
York Yankees were ending their
11-game winning streak at
Cleveland and dropping a full
game of their ample lead to all
the first division teams in the
league.
The Yanks had a 2-0 lead
and big Ernie Bonham was with
in whisper of his fifth shutout,
with two out in the ninth, when
Phil Rizzuto made an error to
give the Indians an opening.
They promptly tied the score
with three singles and then won
the game 3-2 in the -eleventh on
two more singles, one a pinch
hit by Otto Denning to drive
over the deciding run.
The Boston Red Sox halted
their losing streak by nosing
out the Chicago White Sox 3-4.
Giants In Third
Washington whipped the De

Carrasquel's third triumph with

place by out-homering the Pitts
burgh Pirates 8-4.
In the only other contest
scheduled ,a night affair at
Philadelphia, the last-place Phils
knocked off the St. Louis Car

games behind the league-leading
Brooklyn Dodgers.
