THAT'S WHY ITS PEORIA In case you've ..wondered why Peoria (which isn't a bad spot at all) is the accepted symbol for a bush league town, here's what happened in a high school game there the other day . The third baseman made a putout at sec ond base on a throw from the right fielder, who picked ' up a ball that dropped between the center fielder and the second baseman . . . And in the same contest the umpireraced from the plate, to second to - call a play ... Going back, he picked up his cap at the mound, his in dicator halfway to the plate and then asked: "Where's my mask?" .... It was under his arm. -: ; ' t - , .. -..v.. -.

Braves Drop Builder-Upper Lefty Gomez Without Test By BILL KING BOSTON, May 20 (Speak ing on the National league's rec ord, Lefty Vernon Gomez, who helped pitch the New York Yan kees to seven pennants while winning' '-j 189 games for - that clamorous club in -13 seasons, has been given another uncon-. dltlonal release ; by those sur prising Boston Braves without a regulation test. . - . But speaking of that record, as several of his Braves admirers have . done, Gomez, without throwing a single pitch in a sin gle league game, has done much to inspire that consistent seventh place club into a terrific drive that has moved it to within' a game of the first-place Brooklyn Dodgers, according to today's Na tional league ratings. Although Gomez, except for those he encountered in world series competition, ' knows 'but little about the National league's players, most of his Braves team mates agree that his baseball superiority complexes, ingrained during Ms many years with-the successful Yankees, has, by more contact,- helped therit rid -them- DovjELuonns , CAN'T HURT MSI That's what wo thlnkl But ugly round.

' Hollingbery said he did not ex pect Jeff Person, pole vaulter who had been counted on for some points, to make the trip because of an ankle injury. Les Lieble, distance man, is suffering from an undetermined chest ail ment but Hollingbery expressed the hope it was not too serious.

When In Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Jo and Anne Earley Proprietors PAGE TWELVE Brooklyn Dodgers' Top Spot Rather Unhealthy Penthouse Bums Jeopardized by Boston Braves as Cardinals Win Another, 3-2 By JUDSON BAILEY , Associated Press Sports Writer The Brooklyn Dodgers are in the position of the noisy tenants who are going to get kicked out of their top floor apartment as soon as the lease expires. The Bums have been occupying the penthouse of the National league ever since the season started, but two consecutive defeats by the St. Louis Cardinals have placed them in jeopardy of losing their first place perch not to the world champions but to the Boston Braves. Boston, with good pitching and a surprisingly well-balanced attack, has won seven straight games, including a double- , header yesterday from the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 in 11 in nings and 5-3. If the Braves should win again today and the Dodgers lose, Boston would move into top place by a percentage mar gin of .652 to .630. The Dodgers were smothered by southpaw pitching again yes terday 3-2 as Max Lanier and Rookie Brecheen combined to hold them to six hits. The Car dinals counted a run in the first inning when Stan Musial scored all the way from first base on a terrific single by Walker Cooper and they cinched the game on Coaker Triplctt's two- run homer in the sixth. Brooklyn's hopes for today's final game rested chiefly in the fact that they would be facing a righthanded pitcher for the first time in the series but the righthander happened to be Mort Cooper, the league s lead ing pitcher last year. In a move of desperation, Manager Leo Durocher planned to call on Rube Melton to pitch for the Dodgers on two days' rest. : The Braves had difficulty downing the Pirates In their first game, although Nate An drews kept nine hits well spaced and allowed no runs after the f irst f r a m e. However, the Braves weren't able to score against Rookie Xavier Rescigno from the third to the eleventh, when Johnny McCarthy singled, stole second, and sped home on a single-by Whitey Wieteimann. McCarthy made four of the Braves' eight hits. - In the second game the first four Braves who came to bat against Hank Gornickl hit singles and knocked him out of the box in the midst of a three- run rauy. Lieorge jeiu.ua, pitching five-hit ball, muzzled the Pirates on-one run till the ninth, when they tallied twice and forced Jeff coat to have help. In the day's only otner game Mel Ott hit a two-run homer off Johnny Vander Meer m the first inning to lead the New York Giants to a 3-2 conquest of the Cincinnati Reds. New York was outhit 12 to 5, out the Reds were unable to take advantage of their opportuni ties till the ninth, when a two run rally fell short. All games in the American league were postponed for the third day in a row Decause ot weather conditions and the Chi cago Cubs at Philadelphia in the National league also was post poned. pitcher or beat those guys, we're convinced that we can." Regardless of Gomez' skill as a morale builder, Quinn, due to major league baseball law, must cut his roster to 25 players by midnight tonight. Since all of the other hurlers on the club have proved themselves in com petition, Gomez, who worked only a few innings for the Braves in a spring training exhibition game, was the logical one to be cut from the pitching squad. Meanwhile very few of the other 15 major league clubs are content with their pitching and Gomez' chances of being grabbed off immediately appear very bright, judging from the way the doubleheaders are piling up in each league.

And Hollywood's Johnny Dick- shot extended In hitting streak to 31 consecutive games. Those things yesterday hold the attention of most league funs But there was one other thing. Down in the dark reaches of tire cellar a little light flickered and shown as Seattle defeated Port land 2 to 1 to snap a nine-game losing streak which began with a defeat at the hands of San Francisco, oxtendod through seven drubbings by Los Angeles and the opening gamo of the cur rent Portland series. The scores on the Angels rcc ord breaking contests were 10 to 4 and 4 to 1, the latter in seven Innings. San Francisco Increased its hold on second place behind Los Angeles by outlasting Oakland 7 to 6 in 15 innings, and Sacramen to pushed San Diego further back into third placo with a 3 to 0 victory. Portland's loss to Seattle was the 14th this season the Beavers have dropped by one run. Oregon Sport Notes By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer The more optimistic fans of the Portland unlucky Beavers hold to the view that pretty soon the club will begin to hit and when that happy day arrives it will win any number of ball games and the current slump will be only a memory. Up to the start of the present series with Seattle the club needed only a slight improve ment in hitting. Almost 75 per cent of its losses were by one run. It may be that the unlucky Beavers will begin to hit more substantially soon and jump into a winning streak but there is one thing to remember: That is that the Beavers, all through their dismal losing streak, have been getting high grade pitching. Suppose the pitchers go into a slump when the batters emerge from theirs? It does happen.
