(International) MEDFORD&eTRIBUNI Athletics Start. To Drive; Bob Shantz Gets 19th Win By UNITED PRESS "The baseball season moved Friday into the hot, pressure packed "dog days" of August and wily little manager Jimmy Dykes had his underdog Phila delphia A's all set to make their bid for the 1952 American League pennant. Dykes turned the A's loose in a ferocious finish last year and they played the best ball in the league during the final six weeks, winning 29 of their last Young Pro Leads Tarn Chicago U.R) Youthful Dick Mayer, only three years a professional, was target number one for golf's best shooters Fri day for the second round of the Tam O'Shanter's "All American" open tourney. Mayer, 28-year-old blond from St. Petersburg, Fla., displayed a smoking putter Thursday as he slashed seven strokes off par on the 6,915 yard course for the undisputed 8-hole lead with a 65, one stroke ahead of PGA Champion Joe Turnesa, Briar cliff, N. Y. But Mayer hardly was home safely in the 72-hole tournament which will pay the winner $6,420. Forty four of the 129-player pro field broke par 72 and barring another leading round by Mayer, any of these possibly could slide into a deadlock at the midway point tonight. There were big names aplenty close behind him in addition to .Turnesa. Sam Snead was dead locked with Ted Rhodes, Chi cago, and Bob Gajda, Birming ham, Mich., for third place with 67, two strokes behind. 43 games. But they got going too late. Shantz Wins 19th This year, they are making their move a little earlier. They've won 12 of their last 16 games, including Thursday's double sweep at Detroit, in which Bobby Shantz. won his 19th game, against just three de feats, 2 to 1 on four hits, and lefty Alex Kellner pitched six hit ball to win the second game 3 to 2. The second triumph came at the last moment when the A's put over all their runs in the ninth on a pinch-single by Allie Clark, a pinch double by Kite Thomas, a passed ball, Eddie Joost's single, and Ferris Fain's double. That offset earlier hom ers by losing pitcher Virgil Trucks and Walt Dropo, his 19th. Skeeter Kell drove in both Philly runs with a single in the opener and Detroit's only run off Shantz was unearned. Yankees Win The victories left the sixth place A's Only eight games be hind the first place Yankees, who beat the Chicago White Sox 6 to 2 behind Vic Raschi. The second place Indians topped the Red Sox 8 to 2 and the Washington Senators beat the Browns 10 to 5 in other Ameri can League games. In the National League, the Dodgers moved six full games in front of the faltering Giants by winning a pair from the Pirates 7 to 6 in 11 innings and 4 to 1, while the Cubs pummeled New York 11 to 8, and the Cardinals topped the Braves 8 to 3. Pernicious anemia was first described by Thomas Addison, English physician (1793-1860), one of the early students of the ductless glands . . . Millers Slate Last League Game Sunday Against Butte Falls Nine Central Point The Central Point Millers will play their last league game of the season Sun day at 2:30 p.m. on the Central Point field when they tangle with Butte Falls.

Yakima Beats Caps At Yakima, rookie Chuck Don ley fired a good curve ball to hold the Vancouver Capilanos to seven hits as the Bears down ed the Canadians 6-4. It was Don ley's first win in pro ball.

U.R) Clem Labine, who once was Manager Charlie Dressen's choice to take Don Newcombe's place on the Brooklyn pitching staff this sea son, Friday was optioned to St. Paul on 24-hour recall as the Dodgers brought up right-hander Ray Moore from their Ameri can Association farm club. Labine has a sore arm and a 7-3 record but his, performances have not been as impressive as his won and lost mark. He failed to complete any of his six starts. Moore, a 26-year-old. hurle was with the Dodgers in spring training after performing with Montreal of the International League and Fort Worth of the Texas League in 1951. , Poor control has been his big weakness but, in his last three games for St. Paul, he managed to limit his walked batters to 11 while striking out 26.
