Senators Stir
By Nabbing
Thump Detroit Crew 6-2
BY UNITED PRESS-
As if there wasn't enough ex
citement in Washington in this
presidential election year,
; Bucky Harris and his Senators
' have to go stirring up some more
i with a six game winning streak
'. and a drive that could make
them solid contenders if they
i don't fold up.
Usually, the Senators fold up
nicely and let the election take
its course in other presidential
years.
But the wily Harris seems to
' have other plans. Wednesday
night as the Nats made it six
in a row with a five-hit, 6 to 2
victory over Detroit by Sid Hud
son, they strengthened their
hold on third place and stood
only 2'i games out of first.
They kept pace with first
place Boston which downed Chi
cago, 7 to 2, and with second
place Cleveland which again
' banged the Yankees, 7 to 2. And
they picked up a full game on
the fourth place Browns who
were downed, 1 to 0, by the
Athletics.
Dodgers kp ahead
In the National League,
Brooklyn stayed half a game
in front of the Giants by win
ning a 5 to 4 decision at Cin
cinnati, while the Giants topped
the Cardinals, 3 to 1. The
Pirates ended a six-game losing
streak by defeating the Phillies,
S to 1, and the Cubs and Braves
were idle because of cold
weather.
Hudson, a veteran who was
supposed to have been washed
up because of arm trouble, now
is throwing with a full over
hand motion again and he gave
it the works against the Tigers
for his second straight route
going performance. Jackie Jen
sen singled and doubled and
drove in a run. Archie Wilson
went hitless but drew two key
walks and still has a .524 aver
age. Jim Busby collected two
hits and scored two runs.
Fourth Straight
The Yankees dropped their
second straight to the Indians,
: who now have won four
straight. Mike Garcia gave up 12
hits, but the Yankees left 10
men on base to make it a hor
rendous total of 14S for the
campaign. They also have hit
only five homers, which com
pares with 18 for them at this
stage last year.
Al Rosen, who now has eight
homers himself to pace the AL
got the latest Wednesday as he
drove in two runs with two
hits. Bobby Avlla made three
hits while Harry Simpson and
Luke Easter got two each.
Rookie Bill Henry pitched
five-hit ball and drove In two
runs with a triple, also adding
a single as Boston won easily
over Chicago. Clyde Vollmer
hit two doubles and Johnny
Pesky drove in two runs with
another double.
Lefty Alex Kellner gained his
first shutout in five years in the
majors -for the up-and-coming
Athletics, holding the Browns to
five hits, and choking off a rally
in the ninth with the bases full.
Philadelphia scored the only run
in the first inning on a double
by Eddie Joost, a pnlr of walks
and a long fly ball by Ferris
Fain.

Simmons Tallies
Winning Marker
For Spokane Nine
BY UNITED PRESS
Pitcher Frank Case believes In
doing a Job quickly, and that
policy had a lot to do with Spo
kane's being at the top of the
Western International league
standings Thursday.
The 21 -year-old righthander
put out the fire after John Mar
shall had been shelled in the
eighth inning, then batted home
the winning run in the ninth as
the defending champions edged
Lewiston, 5-4, Wednesday night.
Chase won his own game by
drilling a sharp single which
scored Pat Simmons, who had
reached second on a fielder's
choice and an error.
Vancouver Helps
His brief stint on the hill and
at the plate boosted the Indians
to the top of the pack since Van
couver knocked off Victoria, the
former pace setter, 7-2.
In other action, Wenatchee
walloped Tri-City, 10-2, and Sa
lem romped " over the hapless
Yakima Bears, 7-1.
vancouvers victory was the
Caps' third straight over the
fading Tyees. RiRhthander Ed
Locke doled out only four hits
and struck out six as he went
the distance for the win. He col
lectcd two singles and a triple at
tne plate.
Hite To Fourth
Wena tehee's victory lifted the
Chiefs from sixth to fourth place
in the standings. Credit for the
win went to Frank Dasso, one
time Pacific Coast league strike
out king, who scattered eight
hits and whiffed nine batters.
Salem had little trobule In
whipping Yakima's cellar-dwellers
as Sal DeGcorge went all the
way in notching his second
straight win. The Senators scored
five runs in the fifth inning on
four singles, a walk, an error
and Dick Bartle's triple.

Chuck Davey
Whips Vejar
Chicago (U.R) Southpaw
Chuck Davey vaulted into the
top rank among welterweight
contenders and gave a large
share of the credit to former star
Lew Tendler.
It was Tendler, Davey reveal
ed, who taught him in a 10-day
session how to pack extra power
into his punches blows like
those that four times hammered
young Chico Vejar to the Chi
cago Stadium canvas Wednesday
night to rack up an important 10
round decision.
"I'm hitting a lot harder with
that left hand now since Tend
ler got hold of me," said Davey.
"He taught me to put my body
behind the blow and I've some
how got a lot more power with
the punch."
Plenty of Power
Davey showed plenty of pow
er and class in his nationally
televised scrap with Vejar, his
most important victory.
The triumph, 32nd of Davey's
pro career which began after he
won four national collegiate
titles as a Michigan State college
scrapper, preserved his undefeat
ed record. More important, It
elevated him into position as a
leading contender for champion
Kid Gavilan's title.
Then Davey put in the con
vincer in the sixth and seventh.
In each case he boomed a left to
the stomach and in each case he
put Chico down, the first time
for a six count, the second for
eight. And these were the
punches that won.
American League
Gives Ump Job
Cedar Grove, N. J. (U.R) A
vindicated Scotty Robb, eager
to begin his new job, humbly de
clared Thursday he felt "honored
beyond words" at the surprise
invitation to umpire in the Amer
ican league.
The 45-year-old Robb, who
quit his job as National league
umpire Monday following a fine
and public rebuke, said he plans
to relax at his home here until
American league President Will
Harridge instructs him to begin
his new duties about May 13.
Felt Low
"I felt pretty low when I came
back home from Cincinnati the
other night," he recalled, refer
ring to the resignation he sub
mitted to National league Presi
dent Warren Gijes.
TO TEST PROWESS It will
be boxer against puncher when
Bert Hartley, above, Mcdford,
and Frank Finell, Roscburg, col
lide on Friday, March 16, in the
election night card at the Med
ford YMCA. Hartley, rated one
one of the smoothest lads on the
Mcdford Y team, will put his
ring generalship up against Fin
ell's punching ability. Hartley,
also, has developed a sharp
punch of his own. In addition to
the regular 12-bout card there
will be a mystery bout between
a well-known Republican and
equally well-known Democrat.

PADS' LUNA HURLS 1-0
DECISION OVER SOLONS
San Francisco (U.R) Guil-
lermo Palmero Luna, a Mexican-
born pepper pot who pitches
sweeping southpaw curves, laid
claim Thursday to being the
most effective and luckiest
moundsman in the Pacific Coast
league.
Luna, San Diego's unbeaten
ace, turned the dial to victory
Wednesday night -vhen he
worked a nifty four-hitter to get
the first-place Padres a 1-0 de
cision over last-place Sacramen
to. The bucket of whitewash he
threw at the Solons his third
this season attested to his ef
fectiveness. Luna's luck was evidenced
when he defeated Sacramento's
chesty Chester Johnson, who
confidently fired a two-hit game.
Johnson, losingest pitcher in the
PCL last year after winning 22
contests in 1950, was trumped
by the Pads in the eighth inning,
when Thurman Tucker singled
home Luna with the game's only
run.
In other battles, homers by Jim
Russell and Clin Conaster car
ried Portland to a 4-3 win over
Seattle, San Francisco out
slugged Hollywood, 10-B, in a 2

The Los Angeles - Oakland
game was postponed because of

at Moscow in division play
since 1939.
