Trucks Scores 7fc.: Victory;
Sox Keep Pace With Yankees
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Pr Sports Writer
Virgil Trucks of the White
Sox admits some of the old-time
fire is gone from "his fast bai?
but even so, he still has enough
stuff to keep that pennant light
gleaming in Manager Marty
Marion's eye.
In the old days, Trucks used
to average 10 to 12 strikeouts
a game. But now at a more mel
low 36, he leaves such feats to
younger blood like Herb Score
or Bob Turley. "
So far this season, the Chi
cago right-hander has recorded
only 36 strikeouts, a far cry
from Score's 107 err Turley's 96.
But Trucks is right up there
with both in the vital won-lost
department.
Even though he "struck out
only four batters Thursday
night. Trucks registered his sev
enth victory of the season and
his second shutout in a row
beating Baltimore, 8-0. The six
hit victory marked his fifth
straight and kept the White Sox
within two games of the pace
setting Yankees in the close
American League race.
George Kell drove in four
runs with three hits while Walt
Dropo and Nellie Fox also
slammed out three hits. Fox col
lected 11 hits in 16 times up
during the four-game series with
the Orioles.
Indians Beat Senators
Cleveland remained a game
behind the White Sox and three
games off the pace by defeating
Washington, 8-5. Bob Lemon
failed to go the distance for the
ninth time in his last 10 starts
but gained his ninth victory after
yielding all 12 Washington hits
in eight innings. Mike Garcia
came in to pitch the ninth and
gave up two hits before striking
out Mickey Vernon for the final
out. Bobby Avila and Larry
Doby each collected three hits
to lead a 15-hit attack.
Billy Klaus, who couldn't win
a regular berth with either the
Braves or the Giants, smashed a
two-run homer in the last of the
ninth off Johnny Sain to give
the Red Sox a 7-6 triumph over
the Athletics. Klaus' homer was
one of four hit by Boston Ted
Williams, Jackie Jensen and
Norm Zauchin also connecting
for the circuit. Reliever Tom
Hurd gained his first victory of
the year.
Held scoreless by Frank Lary
for eight innings, the Yankees
erupted for all their runs in the
ninth to nip the Tigers, 3-2.
Yogi Berra's two-run homer and
Elston Howard's pinch single
with the bases full accounted
for the Ynakees' runs. Southpaw
Tommy Byrne pitched a four
hitter and became the first Yan
kee hurler to go the distance
after 15 in a row had failed.
Ted Kluszewski teed off for
his 19th and 20th homers against
the Dodgers and his second one
of the game in the 10th inning
to give the .Redlegs a 6-5 deci
sion. Until he delivered the home
run ball to "Klu" in the 10th,
Father's Day June 19, 1955
MEDFORD'S FINEST MEN'S STORE MAIN AT CENTRAL
relief pitcher Jim Hughes had
retired 14 batters in a row. Her-
shell Freeman gained the deci
sion by relieving Art Fowler
and hold Brooklyn scoreless
over the last 3 23 innings.
The Cubs strengthened their
hold on second place in the Na
tional League with a 2-1 victory
qver the Giants. Warren Hacker
hurled a five-hitter, losing his
shutout when Bill Taylor hit
a pinch homer in the eighth. The
Cubs scored their two runs off
Ramon Monzant in the third on
a walk, Frank Baumholtz triple
and a single by Ransom Jackson.
Murry Dickson shut out the
Braves for the second day in a
row, limiting them to four hits
while pitching the Phillies to
a 3-0 victory. Bob Buhl started
for Milwaukee, yielded seven of
Philadelphia's nine hits and two
of their runs, then left in favor
of Ernie Johnson in the ninth.
Harvey Haddis pitched his
first complete game of the sea
son and his first shutout as the
Cardinals blanked the Pirates,
5-0, with the aid of homers by
Al Red Schoendienst and Bill
Sarni. Haddix allowed Pitts
burgh only four hits in gaining
his fourth victory against eight
losses. Vern Law was the loser.

86 PROOF. THE OLD HERMITAGE CO U PA MY. FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY
Erv Lind Florists had their
bad moments at the fairgrounds
park here last night but the
flashy, hard-hitting, hard-throwing
Portland girl softballers had
too much class and too much
pitching for their rivals as they
slugged out a 13 to 3 triumph
over the Basin-Ettes of Klamath
Falls.
The fracas, matching Port
land's Western Women's Soft
ball League entry, and Klam
th's reigning Oregon champs,
was the main attraction of a
gals' doubleheader. In the open
er the Roseburg Lumberjills
collected two runs in the final
seventh stanza to tumble the
Rogue Valley QT's 7 to 5.
The colorful Florists, who
play with snappy precision and
throw, run and hit like and as
well as many men, demonstrated
aptly why they are one of the
top women's aggregations on the
Pacific coast and why a number
of their squad have gleaned All
American honors.
Three home runs and three
doubles highlighted the Portland
offensive. While the Florists
were blasting out five hits,
Pitchers Pearl Pinion and Mar
ian Kozak limited the Klamath
nine to a lone scratch hit.
Big Fifth Inning
" Majority of the Lind runs
were crammed into the fifth in
ning when the Portlanders cap
italized on Hap Piper's three
run round - tripper, three other
hits and four Basin-Ette miscues.
Seven runs crossed the plate in
the frame. Kozak doubled and
Robbie Mulkey and Carolyn
Fitzwater socked singles. A base
on balls and a fielder's option
along with a passed ball also
had a role in the run production.
The Florists got two runs in
the third panel on Mulkey's
home run, a base, on balls, a. pass
ed ball, Margaret Dobson's sacri
fice and a wild pitch. Norma Eby
led off a four-run fourth with a
homer. Fitzwater and Bev Cox
got singles in the inning and a
sacrifice flyout by Pinion and a
walk, error and stolen base help
ed out.
Maxine Johanson beat out the
throw for Klamath's hit in the
fourth inning and a couple of
errors permitted her to score. A
base on balls, error on a fielder's
option, a wild pitch and a ground
out..
Ob Ball to Oulfitld
Combined pitching and field
ing strength of the Flower Girls
was such that the Basin-Ettes
hit only one ball out of the in
field. That was a fly ball easily
caught. The Lind misplays were
bad throws by Catcher Lois Wil
liams. Klamath failed to get any
one on base in five of the inn
ings. Williams hit two doubles in
three times up for the Florists
and Mulkey and Fitzwater each
got two for four.
Roseburg gained its winning
markers on an error, two bases
on balls, two wild pitches and a
ground out. Three Jill runs
came in the first inning on hits
by Clayre Carter and Margaret
Blizard, a base on balls and an
error. An error, a couple of
ground outs, a walk and Gladys
Oyler's single accounted for two
in the second.
The QT's used a hit by Doris
Hickson, a base on balls and a
four-base error for three runs in
the third canto. They tied up the
score in the fourth inning with
two runs. Dorothy Shearing got
a single and Diane Tuttle a
double. There was one error and
a wild pitch in the stanza.
The shapely Florists may. re
turn here on August 30 against
the Fresno Rockets, present
world champions.
