Acorns Gain On San Diego
As Hirtle Tosses 3-1 Win
San Francisco (U.R) The
wheel of fortune, its little white
ball starting to plop In the wrong
places, went spinning around
Lefty O'Doul's head Wednesday.
But the San Diego manager
wagered and hoped his luck
would hold out a while longer.
O'Doul and his Padres enjoy
the altitude of first place, though
they seem to be descending
slowly.
Oakland sliced the Pads' Pa
cific Coast league margin to a
game and-a-half Tuesday night,
nipping San Diego, 3-1, on Lefty
Lloyd Hittle's fine pitching per
formance. Homer Beats Portland
San Francisco turned three
hits into a 3-1 victory over Port
land because one of the safeties
was a homer by Joe Grace with
two on.
Los Angeles nipped Sacra
mento, 4-3, when Gene Baker
doubled to set up the tie-breaker
in the eighth. It rained at Se
attle and Hollywood and the
Rainlers did not play.
- The appearance of San Diego
as a league leader was taken
as a temporary thing, even to
O'Doul. But Lefty doesn't plan
to yield his top spot without a
skirmish or two. He's added tal

Earlier, the Oaks had picked

Grace, the Seals' leading stick

Hurler Says
Eddie Stanky
Steals First
New York (U.R) Eddie Stan
ky Is the only man who steals
first base and gets away with it
every time insists Yankee
pitcher Bobby Hogue.
"They claim it's impossible to
steal first base," snorted the
chubby Yankee relief ace, "but
Stanky does it right under the
umpires' noses."
Hogue. who played together
with Stanky on the Boston
Braves in 1948 and 1949 and op
posed him in both National
league competition and 1951
World Series since then, says
"The Brad" has the technique
down pat.
Squirms Llka Eel
"He inches up and down in
the batters' box," Hogue ex
plained, "he squirms around like
an eel . . . he crouches one min
ute and gets up on his toes the
next . . . he's all over the place
. . . you simply can't pitch to
him at all.
"He's a genious at getting on
base. One way or another, he'll
do it. And the impires don't do
a thing about it because all of
his tactics are perfectly legal.
"I always liked Stanky,"
Hogue went on, "but I hated to
see him come up to hit against
me in Ihe World Series. He was
up to his old tricks as usual. I
think a pitcher has to work three
times as hard on him than on
any other hitter. And the funny
part about Stanky is that he's
not a great hitter and prru-My
never will be one."

Solons Climb As Marrero
Shuts Out Brownies 2-0
By UNITED PRESS
Connie Marrero, who doesn't
speak much English, was put
ting it on his curve ball instead,
and hitters were cursing him in
different languages all over the
American league.
Washington's cigar - smoking
Cuban cutie, who is supposed to
be more than 40 years old and
hurls all winter in Latin-American
competition when other
hurlers are resting their aching
bones, has been a terrific spring
winner for the past two seasons.
His only trouble is that he gets
tired when summer comes and
he runs out of gas.
But in the early stages he Is
unbeatable. Last year he won
five games in a row before los
ing on May 25. This year has
been a repeat pattern.
Tuesday night, in one of his
greatest jobs, he held the
Browns to four hits in a 2 to 0
victory that put Washington
within two games of idle first
place Cleveland. It was his
fourth straight, without a de
feat. Many Pop Ups
Marrero was so effective with
his curves that he struck out
eight batters and all but one of
the rest went out on pop ups to
the infield or were out stealing.
Marrero himself retired the on
ly St. Louis batter to go out on
a ground ball. He walked only
two men.
The only dark cloud on the
horizon is that summer is com
ing. Last year, after running up
an 11-3 record, he faded and did
n't score another victory after
Aug. 4, being knocked out of the
box on his five final appearan
ces. But if the Senators can pro
vide him with some vitamin-filled
cigars or some other energy
producing magic, they might
keep right on causing trouble in
the American League race. Be
cause this year, Marrero has
added pitching help, plus a bet
ter all-around team behind him.
Tuesday night, with one well
timed rally, the Nats got the
runs they needed to top
Brownie left-hander Tommy
Byrne. They bunched three of
their nine hits for both runs in
the second Inning. A walk to Ed
die Yost and singles by Jim Bus
by, Jackie Jensen, and Archie
Wilson, all of them Senator new
comers, etched the final score.
Byrne was rescued from trou
ble at other times by four dou
ble plays.
Sain Outlasta Sox
In the only other major league
game played, right hander John
ny Sain of the Yankees scorsd
his fourth victory against one
defeat, by outlasting the White
Sox at Chicago, 4 to 3. He gave
up only six hits and just one
