If' Browns Amaze With Third
i Straight Diamond Victory
New York (U.R) It was
good opening day wisecrack
when Brownie Manager Rogers
Hornsby said "in order to win
'em all you can't afford to lose
the first game," but how much
longer are his ex-sad sacks going
to keep it up?
They were three in a row to
the good Friday and right up
there at the top with such fast
company as the Dodgers and In
dians, who also won their first
three games.
The impressive thing about
the Browns is that they've
looked sharp all the way. Thurs
day ex-Tiger Bob Cain bore
down when he had to and gained
a nine-hit, 3 to 1 victory over his
old mates when Les Moss and
rookie Bob Nieman hit succes
sive homers in the eighth and
ninth to hand Hal Newhousor a
tough defeat. The Browns got
only five hits but made them
count.
17 Hits Each
Brooklyn and Cleveland each
made 17 hits to win their games
Thursday, the Dodgers whipping
the Braves, 8 to 2, while the In
dians topped the White Sox
again, 5 to 3.
In other American League
games, lefty Bob Shantz topped
the Yankees, 3 to 1 at Philadel
phia, while rookie Faye Throne
berry's grand slam homer was
the big blow in rookie .Bill
Henry's 9 to 2 victory for the
Red Sox at Washington,
Connie Ryan hit an 11th In
ning two-run homer to give the
Phils a' 5 to 3 decision at New
York, while in other National

Aged Relief
Hurler Helps
Padres Win
San Francisco (U.R) Huge
waddle-walking Al Benton, e
pappy guy among ball players,
was toasted Friday as the best
relief pitcher in the Pacific Coast
league.
The 6-foot, 4-inch righthander,
who lived 11 of his 41 years in
the major leagues, won the high
praise from Frank Lefty O'Doul.
O'Doul dared compare Big Al to
Ol' Pard Win Ballou, the former
Seal "jug" expert who was for
many years acclaimed as peer
less among the bullpen firemen.
Benton worked in his sixth
game of the season Thursday
night and helped San Diego de
cision San Francisco, 10-6, and
take over the PCL lead.
In his twilight years as a ball
player, Benton was turned into
a relief pitcher exclusively by
O'Doul this year. The move may
prove the gem among many
U Uoul wisdoms.
San Diego nabbed Its half
game loop lead at the expense of
Los Angeles, which dropped a
4-1 contest to Seattle. In other
affairs, Portland won its third
in a row from Oakland, 8-3, and
Hollywood hammered Sacra
mento, 11-3.
Portland broke open its game
with Oakland in the third, scor
ing five runs on two hits, three
walks, one hit batsman and an
Oak boot. Lyman Linde got into
the pitching act in the fourth and
kept the puling Acorns suffic
iently at bay to warrant the win.
