A 19-inning victory for the Indians over the Browns, 4 to 3, as Satchel Paige finally met his match in the third marathon relief jab he had been involved in in less than a month. A fist fieht in Boston between Earl Torgeson of the Braves and Sal Yvars of the Giants. And a proud new entry in the record books for a great competitor. Enos Slaughter of the Cardinals, who drove in his 1,000th run in an 8 to 3 victory over the Reds at St. Louis. Paige, who pitched 10 shut out innings against the Indians, had victory over Cleveland re liever Lou Brissie within his grasp when he finally wore out in the bottom of the 19th and yielded two runs on a single by Bobby Avila, a double by Al Rosen, and a pinch-single by Hank Mjeski. Just before, Bris sie had yielded a run that put St. Louis ahead, 3 to 2, on a walk to Dick Kryhoski, a sacri fice by Bob Nieman, and a single by Jim Delsing. Just Misses Curfew The game just missed being a curfew-halted tie by one min ute. The 18th inning wound up at 12:49 a.m. The new major league rules prohibit any inning starting in a night game after Yakima Nabs Pair From Vancouver By UNITED PRESS Dario Lodigiani's Yakima Bears may not win the Western International league pennant this year, but the current cellar- dwellers suddenly have come to life and are making it miserable for other members of the loop. The Vancouver Capilanos were the Bears' latest victims. The Canadians skidded to seven full games off the pace Tuesday night by dropping both ends of a double-header, 7-5 and 5-1. Victoria Splits Pace-setting Victoria split with Wenatchee, winning the first 11-0, but losing the wind up, 3-1. In single bills, Salem blanked Spokane, 7-0, and Tri City clubbed Lewiston, 7-1. Bill Stites of Wenatchee and Cal Mclrvin of Victoria dueled until the ninth inning of the sec ond game when two singles, a walk and a bunt gave the Chiefs their winning runs. Mclrvin was returned temporarily from the parent Portland Beavers after Bob Drilling refused to report to the class A club. Jack Hemphill hurled a neat six-hit shutout as Salem whipped Spokane. Tri-City took advan tage of loose fielding and bunch ed its seven hits to roll over Lewiston.

July 2. 1952 Scuffle, Feature 12:50 a.m. The Browns sent the game into extra innings when they tied the score off starter Bob Feller in the ninth on a pinch-single by Gene Bearden, a sacrifice and Jim Rivera's single. Brissie gave up six hits as he worked from the 10th to the finish, while. Paige yielded eight hits from the ninth on.

Paige,-June 20, pitched score less ball for nine innings in a curfew-called 5 to 5 tie against Washington and on June 3, also against the Nats, pitched six scoreless innings to gain a 3 to 2 victory in 17 innings. Dugout Scrap At Boston, as the Giants made it three straight over the Braves, 6 to 3, Torgeson flat tened Yvars in a dugout Jirawl in which the Giant catcher got a three - stitch cut over his eye. The argument developed when Yvars broke Torgeson's bat after complaining the Braves' first baseman stood too deep in the batter's box at the plate. Slaughter, who despite his 36 years is having one of his great est seasons, went past the 1,000 RBI mark when he drove in five tallies with two homers. He joined Bob Elliott of the Giants as the only other active Nation al leaguer who has hit that mag ic level. His total now is 1,001. The Dodgers stayed 3A games in front of the pursuing Giants by winning a 4 to 3 de cision from the Phils on a pinch single by Peewee Reese that pro duced the winning run in the ninth.

OPEN TONIGHT TILL 9 Long Ball Hitters Aid Oaks Cause San Francisco U.P.) Two guys, hired by Oakland to hit the long ball, offered a hope Wednesday that their bats may pry Hollywood from its hold on the Pacific Coast league lead. The belters, both outfielders, are gentleman Sam Chapman and Johnny Ostrowski. Chap man, the class of the league in cenierfield, has mildly disap pointed some who expected him to rip holes in the PCL's most distant fences. Seven Homers Down by his own request from more than a decade of service with the Philadelphia A's and Cleveland, Chap has clipped out seven homers, batted in 42 runs and hit better than .260 in his 85 games as an Acorn. He miss ed spring training but overcame that handicap by playing himself into condition. His manager, Mel Ott, and owner, Brick Laws, are delight ed with Sam's servicei. Laws says Chapman has won "eight or nine games" for the Oaks on his professional outfielding alone. Ostrowski, a veteran Coast leaguer, was obtained from Sac ramento in a straight trade for Len Attyd. Since joining the Oaklanders, Ostrowski has belt ed five of his 13 homers and he's hitting about .250 with 43 RBI's. Lead Trimmed Both Chapman and Ostrowski ripped four-masters Tuesday night to pace Oakland's 6-1 vic tory over Hollywood. The loss trimmed the Stars lead to two games over second-place San Diego, who whipped Portland, 6-2. Oakland, in third place, is four games behind Hollywood. Los Angeles, though out-hit al most Iwo-to-one, whipped San Francisco, 6-2, and Sacramento overwhelmed Seattle, 10-5. Ostrowski had three hits and Chapman two, bolstering Allen Gettel's six-hit pitching against the Stars. GENE SMITH FAVORED Washington U.R) Gene Smith of Washington, seeking his 32nd straight victory, was a slight favorite to score a repeat triumph over Glen Flanagan of St. Paul, Minn., Wednesday night, in a televised 10-round bout at Griffith Stadium. The bout is regarded as one in a se ries to determine an "interim champion" while Featherweight Champion Sammy Saddler is in the Army.
