By JUDSON BAILEY , Associated Press Sports ,Wrltor The unluckicst man In baseball, by all odds, Is Lefty Edgar Smith of the ChicoKo White Sox. After he had lost 10 games in a row without winning, the fnt, good-natured southpaw star thought his tide hnd turned Sundny when ho beat tho Washington Senator. Ho figured ho had hit bottom in the game he Idles although allowing only' two hits. But Smltty learned last night that thoro are even tougher bruaks: The Ronton Itcd Sox beat him 1-0 on a home run when tho ball stuck under the bull pen bench at Cornkkcy park. Smith waged a magnificent hurling duel with Broadway Charley Wagner of the Red Sox. spacing seven hits to Wagner's six. The only difference be tween the two wus that drive by Dominic DiMugglo which rolled out of sight under the bench and couldn't ho found till DIMngglo was crossing the plate. Smith had been beaten twice before 1-0, twice 2-1, twice 4-3 and once, of course, 2-0. Alto- S other he tins lost six games y one run. This dramatic mischance took some of tho attention away from the New York Yankees' fourth loss In five gumcs; Paul Wnncr getting his 3000th hit; the Brooklyn Dodgers downing the St. Louis Cardinals again; and other sprightly developments. Tho Yanks were whipped 5-4 at Cleveland as tho voteran Mel Harder pitched four-hit ball, blanking all the Yanks except Bill Dickey (three hits) and Phil Rlzzuto who hit a two-run homer. Tho Indians were hold to five hits by Lefty Gomez and John Murphy. John Nlggeling pitched a four-hit shutout as the St. Louis Browns pelted the Phllodclphla Athletics 4 0 with a 12-hit ot tack and Hal White hurled six hit ball as the Detroit Tigers trimmed the Washington Sena tors 8-1. The Dodgers boosted their National league lead to 6 V4 games by stopping St. Louis for the second straight time 4-3, Whitlow Wyott annexing his seventh triumph against ono de feat, Wancr'g entry Into a select group of six all-time stars who have mado 3000 nils toou, Sneaker.

Tho 1900 meters, 120 yards short of a mile, brings together Leslie MacMltehell, defending champion, and the four men who have defeated him sinco last spring. JJ.ipltu lils recent losses, the bnoltniukcrs still hold the New York U. gructuato as the 6 to 5 fnvorlto with Gil Oodds of Bos ton, the preacher's son, at 8 to 3. Bob Glnn, Nebraska mite who whipped him soundly In last week's national collcglatc-s, Is held at B to 5 while Don Burham, Dartmouth sophomore, and Le roy Weed, Southern California ace, are 2 to 1 choices. That race, along with the pole vaulting of Cornelius Warmer dam, is expected to fill at least 15,000 of tliu suuts ut Randulls island and make it possible for the A. A. U. to turn over some $75,000 to the army emergency relief fund. The New York Athletic club hopes to break the San Fran cisco Olympic club's domination of the team championship. The New Yorkers built up a 27 to 0 edgo over the Olympians yesterday by counting heavily In tho 3000-meter walk and the 10,000-mcter run. Tho New York A.

A double victory over Red Tolbert'i hard-hitting crew will put the Pelicans in first place with eight wins and two losses, a half gome ahead of the Med- ; ford Craters, who already have won seven games out of nine played. Tonight s twilight con test Is slated to start at a p. m. at the Dorris park with tomor row's tilt on the docket for 2 p. m. In their last meeting two weeks ago at Recreation field the Lumberjacks trimmed the Klumuths in the first game, 11-3, behind tho eight-hit pitching of Clyde Carlstrom but lost the second engagement, 3-2, when Paul Crapo doubled homo the winning run in the lest of the ninth. Probable mound rivals In to night's tussle will be Clyde Carlstrom of the Dorris club against Ken Beham of the Pel icans. Sunday's opposing pitch ers will possibly be Virg Haynes of the locals versus Jim Snyder of the Lumberjacks. Even with the pace-setting Klamath manager tn hitting is the new shortstop, Young Bud Larson, who batted two-for-five in the Grants Pass series last week to post his .400 average Close behind are Leo Soran, the outfielder-pitcher, and Paul Cra po, first baseman-outfielder, with 'Big Poison' Werner Cracks 3000th Hit Boston Outfielder in Distinguished Company; Six Others in Hall of Fame By BOB BROEG BOSTON, June 20 OP) Baseball's hall of fame beckoned to day to Paul Glee Wancr, the little man with big stuff, but he Dumosely looked the other way (1) because you've got to be retired for that distinction and of quitting. Waner highlighted a brilliant 17-year major league career yesterday with his 3000th hit a fifth-inning single off former Pittsburgh teammate Trueu e wcll that placed the 39-year-old Boston Brave outfielder In mighty exclusive company. Only six other players, all of them 20-year veterans, ever got 3000 hits. And all of them since have been elected to baseball's Hall of Fame at Cobperstown, N. Y. Ty Cobb, 4191; Tris Speaker, 3518; Honus Wagner, 3430; Ed die Collins, 3313; Napoleon La Joie, 3242, and Adrian "Cap" Anson, 3081. But big Poison Paul isn't ready to join them. "No, I think I'll hang around awhile," the laconic little guy smiled. "I don't think the old warhorse Is ready to be let out to pasture yet." Three times National league batting champion, holder of the league record of 200 or more hits for each of eight seasons and author of a lifetime batting average of .335, Waner was be sieged by both teams among them Pirate Manager Frankle Frisch, a long-time playing rival after he reached first base. There were more handshakes than at a political rally as the umpires handed Waner the 3000- hit ball. Currently hitting .280, Waner, who needed only 44 hits for 3000 when the season began, now needs only two more bases on balls for 1000, a figure which would bracket him with Man ager Mel Ott of the New York Giants among the National league's active players. 32 in Quest Of National Pro Net Title NEW YORK, June 20 MP) The national professional tennis championships came back to Forrest Hills today for the first tlmo In a dozen1 years and 32 players started quest for the title vacated by Fred Perry. With Perry In retirement, the field was wide open In both singles and doubles, but Don Budge and Bobby Rlggs appear ed to h ron'pirlng to take a corner of the cash. Budge, who held the singles title in 1940, topped tho seeded list, while Rlggs was seeded No. 2 for his first national profes sional tournament since he ab dictcd the amateur throne. 1tAl,TIMnTR rhalfcr Wright. 11.

Conn had 1 clashed last month with father-in-law Jim my Smith, former major league baseball player who came away without a scratch from his one-round kitchen scrap with the No. 1 heavy weight challenger. The fam ily tiff probably cost Billy $125,000, his estimated share of the Louis-Conn title fight which the hand injury put off. "Yep, Til be ready to meet anybody if there is anyone around to fight and if I am allowed to fight," he said. Father's Bay!

Hal Turpln, veteran Rainier hurler, and Wally Hebert, aca Padre moundsman, were matched in a pitching duel dur ing the first game, but Turpln won out with a seven-hitter that gave the Rainlcrs a 5 to 2 win.
