TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) Detroit Makers, New York, May 9 (U.P.) Red Rolfe took hia flying Detroit Tig' era into the Boston bad lands to day with a mild beef at the schedule makers who year after year force his boys to face the Yankees and Red Sox in succes sion. "I auess there really isn't much that can be done about it," Rolf said after his league lead ine Detroiteri routed the Yan kees, 7 to 1, behind the slick pitching of Art Houtteman yes terday. Logical Way Cited "That's the logical way to travel instead of jumping off to Philadelnhia or Washington in between games with the Red Sox or the Yankees. Some trips we so to Boston first and come into Yankee stadium with our Ditchine all shot. "Others, like this one here, we go to New York first and then hit Boston and ordinarily we can't use the same pitchers against both ciuds. Houtteman, who won't be 'able to go in Boston except in relief, had things all his way with the Yankees. He shut them out until the ninth, while his mates blasted 10 hits. Indians Lose 4-2 In the only other American league contest, played last night, Sid Hudson pitched and batted Washington to a 4 to 2 victory over Cleveland. Jim Russell blasted a two-run homer for' the Dodgers in the ninth. It was just enough to top the Pirates, 7 to S, at fittsDurgn. They had their usual last inning jitters. Rookie Bud Podbielan. who had been given a 5 to 0 lead, kept frittering it away. He finally had to leave the game for Jack Banta when Pitts burgh made two tallies on a homer by Ralph Kiner, a single by Danny Murtaugh, a walk, and a single by Earl Turner. Cards Beat Braves Gerry Staley's eight hit pitch ing earned the St. Louis Cardin als an easy 11 to 3 victory over the Boston Braves last night. The Cardinals rapped three Bos ton pitchers for IX hits, includ ing a home run by Tommy Glaviano. , Vern Bickford, the Boston starter, suffered his third straight loss.
