8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Or. Friday, July 10, 1939 San Francisco On Top Again In National; Dodgers Hold 2nd After Nudging Braves STANDINGS By FRED DOWN United Press International Elroy Face is still flyin' high-and Willie Mays, is fly- in low again. Take those facts and toss in a brilliant 11-inning relief performance by Los Angeles' Roger Craig and you have the big reasons teams in the Na tional league first division feel like college kids in telephone booth. San Jfrancisco is the new "top dog" with a 47-35 rec ord followed by Los Angeles a half game "down," Milwau kee third one full game be hind and Pittsburgh fourth only . 3V2 games from the The latest shuffle occurred Thursday when the Giants spoiled Fred Hutchinson's de but with a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and the Dodgers knocked the Braves from first to third place with a 4-3 win in 13 innings. The Pirates, coming from behind for the 27th time this season, edged out the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, in 10 innings. The Chicago White Sox moved to within a game of first place in the American league when they defeated the front-running Cleveland Indians. 4-3, and the Boston Red Sox walloped the- New York Yankees, 14-3, to drop the world champions back into fourth place. Three Twi-Nighters There also were three twi night doubleheaders-St. Louis downed Philadelphia, 6-2, af ter an 1-0 defeat in the Na tional league and Baltimore beating Washington, 8-0 and 5-0, and Kansas City debat ing Detroit, 5-0 and 4-0, in the American league. Face, Pittsburgh's sensa tional relief ace, tied a 49-year-old club record when he received credit for his . 13th straight victory of the sea son. The 155-pound right hander, near goat of Tues day's All-Star game, yielded a score-tying single to Sam Taylor in the Cub's ninth but became the winner when pinch-hitter Harry Bright sin gled home the decisive run in the 10th. Face's 13 -game winning streak is six short of the NL and major league mark set by Rube Marquard in 1912 ,and his two-year string of 18 straight victories also is six shy of the mark set by Carl Hubbell in 1936-37. ' Mays, hero of the All-Star game, opened the ninth in ning of a 2-2 tie game with a single and then took off like a guy on a motorcycle. San Francisco's "golden boy" promptly stole second on re lief pitcher Tom Acker of the Reds and then scored on Daryl Spencer's infield hit. Dodgers Tag Spahn Wally Moon doubled and Rip Repulski singled to give the Dodgers the run that tagged Milwaukee's Warren Spahn with his ninth loss and dumped the Braves into third placet Roger Craig, taking over in the third inning, shut out the Braves on three, hits for the last 11 innings. ' Jim Landis drove in three runs ' with a two-run single and a sacrifice fly and Bubba White Sox who beat the In dians for the ninth time in 13 meetings. Bobby Avila knocked in four runs with two homers and a single and Ted Wil liams drove in three with a homer and a double to lead a 14-hit Boston attack that totaled 30 bases. Gene ' Conley pitched' a seven-hitter for his third shut out and Gene Freese hit his third grand slam of the season to lead the Phillies' 17-hit at tack in their first game but the Cardinals earned a split on the seven-hit hurling of Larry Jackson. . Milt Pappas pitched a sev en-hitter and Jerry Walker four-hitter as the 20-year-old righthanders gave the Orioles a sweep of the Senators and undisputed possession of third place in the American league Ray Herbert and Johnny Kucks each pitched a five-hit ter for the Athletics, who also were aided by a homer in each game by Bob Cerv.- Her bert struck out 10 and walked two. , .

Major Leagues To Starr Week Apart in 1960 By ED SAINSBURY Chicago (UPD Major league executives met in joint session Jtoday to . tackle such problems as inter-1 e a g u e trading and financial help to the struggling minor leagues Both matters came under heavy discussion " in separate American and National League meetings Thursday, but it remained for a vote of representatives of the 16 clubs to approve or reject the pro posals. A vote to approve inter league trading would permit clubs to cross league barriers in player swaps beginning in a post-season Nov. 23-Dec. 15 period this year. It would eli minate the necesisty of ob taining waivers. Further Study Likely Raising and disbursing fi nancial funds to rescue the minors was a weightier prob lem facing the club owners This was likely to be handed over to a committee for furth er study rather than receive outright approval or rejec tion. ine club owners tuned up for today's session by voting Thuresday to start their 1960 seasons onen week apart and then agreeing to observe the same suspended game rule in both leagues. . Both leagues opened a week earlier this year, but Ameri can league club owners call ed the experiment quits and agreed to return to an April 19 opening next season. The far-f lung National league voted to stick with an April i. 12 inaugural. Both leagues, however, will close simultaneously on Oct. 2. INDIANS BUY .'RIVERBOAT' Cleveland -' (UPD The Cleveland Indians have pur chased the contract 'of pitcher Robert "Riverboat" Smith to fill the vacancy left open by the sale of reliever Dick Brodowski to Toronto Wed nesday.

The upstart Sah Franciscans have crashed into the rarified air of the senior loop's top spot several times since mov ing west, but they've never been able to maintain ten ancy. The Milwaukee Braves, who have had a two year lease on the top, had their bid for an extension dampened Thursday night when a joint California effort sent them tumbling to third. The Giants measured Cin cinnati 3-2 while Los Angeles dropped the proud Braves, 4-3 in 13 innings. Thursday night's Giant vic tory had more than one pleas ant aspect. Not among the least was the fact they es caped being defeated by big Don Newcombe, always a Gi ant nemesis, iNewcombe re tired after eight innings for a pinch hitter with the score tied at 2-2. STRETCHING OUT HANDS in congratulation, team mates of Eddie Mathews, Braves, hail him as he walks to dugout after first inning homer off Early Wynn, White Sox, in annual All-Star game at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh.
