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.

The work has caused him to learn
a lot of history on the sme.

of digging for authentic data and
