Hit-Poor Sunset Tilts
Puzzle Major Leaguers
Pirates Punish Dodgers in Day Go;
Cincis Nose Phillies in Night Tilt
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sporti Writer
Somebody must have sneaked a supply of the original balata
(pronounced baloney by the players) balls into the major league
parks under cover of darkness last night.
There were two games played in the daylight yesterday and
in one the Pittsburgh Pirates punished the Brooklyn Dodgers
17.4. The two teams made a total of 28 hits. In the other the New
York Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 and there were 22 hits.
But after the sun had set, look
what happened: I
Cincinnati nosed out the Phil
lies 1-0 and Washington whipped
the St. Louis Browns by the
same score. There wasn't a swat
in either game longer than a sin
gle and the four teams together
made a total of only 19 hits.
Another flood-lighted affair
was an 11-inning scramble at
St. Louis with the Boston Braves
beating the Cardinals 4-3 and
even though it included a cou
ple of Cardinal home runs, it
also was a pitching party.
Lou Klein and Walker Cooper
hit homers for two 6f the six
hits given up by Al Javery as
he counted his fourth victory
against one defeat. The Braves
touched Mort Cooper for ten
safeties, bunched four of them
with an error for three runs in
the fifth and then won the game
in the 11th when Eddie Joost
led off with a single and ulti
mately came home on a single
by Rookie Charley Workman.
This boosted the surprising
Braves within half a game of
the second place St. Louis Red-
birds.
The day games were a strik
ing contrast to these duels.
' At Pittsburgh the Pirates
scored 15 runs in the first three
innings off Max Macon and Les
Webber, getting five of their
runs in the second and in the
third frame scoring nine times
after two were out Vince Di
Maggio hit two home runs, one
of them with one on and the
other with two, and his team
mates added an assortment of
hits. But what really piled up
the score was a series of walks
by Webber, who issued nine
bases on balls and forced six
runs across the plate.
Fred Fitzsimmons took over in
the fourth and cooled off the
Buccaneers, although they added
two final runs in the eighth on a
triple by Tommy O'Brien.
At Chicago the Giants scored
all four of their runs in the first
three innings off Paul Derringer.
The fact that they were outhit
12-10 and could do nothing in
the later innings made little dif
ference. Oh yes, a certain mad Rus
sian, whose name has been in
the public prints so much it
doesn't need repeating, made his
1943 debut and was the only Chi
cago player except the pitcher
who failed to get a hit
sity of Arkansas on his own
time . . . He'll be limited to such I
things as blocking, feinting and
footwork, since the air corps
doesn't want anybody to get
hurted by a stray punch . . . .
Fort Monmouth, N. J., claims a
record of some sort with two no
hit baseball games on successive
days. The 1226th service unit
was the victim both times, losing
10-0 to the 15th signal training
unit, which used three pitchers,
and 12-0 to the Camp Wood
team, with Mel Shapsowitz, for
mer Brooklyn college Singer, on
the hill.
The Australian monitor, larg
est of lizards, reaches a length of
six to seven feet.
The favors given at a party
aren't the only ones with strings
attached to them.

One to Beat
Br BILL KING
BOSTON, May 27 (IP) Now
that Lou Boudreaju, youthful
manager of the top-place Cleve
land Indians, has had a chance
to study all of the American
league opposition at close-rango,
he still rates his club as "the
one to beat"
"I said before the season open
ed that we would be the ones to
beat and I have not seen any
thing in any of the other clubs to
make me change my mind," Bou
dreau said.
Although the Indians start
their first eastern swing against
the Red Sox today with the one
.300 hitter, Oris Hockett, there
are enough of the other regulars
close enough to that charmed
slugging circle to give the club
a potent punch.
The Indians' chieftain prides
himself on getting the best of the
deal that sent Roy Weatherly
and Oscar Grimes to the Yan
kees for Catcher Buddy Rosar
and Outfielder Roy Cullcnbine.
Cullenbine has filled in very
well for us, not only in the out
field but also at first base and
Rosar, now our first-string catch
er, is hitting better than ever,"
Boudreau said. "I think we got
the best of that trade but then it
was the sort of a deal that should
help both clubs."

By The Associated Press
The Portland Beavers, who
have been in easy hailing dis
tance of the Coast league cellar
for some time, yesterday handed
the way-up-there Los Angeles
Angels two decisive beatings, al
most one-third of the Angels
total losses so fur this season.
The scores were 1-0 and 5-4.
The first game went twelve
Innings before Ted Gullic hit a
home run to give the Beavers
their first overtime victory in
eight such encounters. The An
gels had won all of their extra In
ning contests this year. Ad Lis
ka won the pitching duel with
Ken Raffensberger. Each hurler
allowed eight, hits in the long
grind.
Twenty hits were counted in
the. second game and it was far
from a pitching duel. Two Port
land tossers allowed ten safe
blows and the Beavers scored as
many off three Angelcons. The
outcome left the league leading
Angels with 29 victories to seven
defeats, not quite 200 percentage
points ahead of the field.
San Francisco made up dis
tance in second place by sweep
ing its second straight from Seat
tle 6 to 4, scoring four runs in
the first inning on only two hits.
A couple of walks and an error
helped, and one of the blows
was Henry Steinbacher's triple.
It was a loose contest with Seat
tle not only outhltting the Seals
12 to 10 but also outfumbling
them, five errors to three.
San Diego crept Into third
place, evening its series with
Hollywood, by a 4 to 3 squeeze.
Jack Calvey singled to center
with two out in the ninth to score
Pitcher Chet Johnson.
Sacramento made it two in a
row over Oakland and dropped
the Acorns into fourth place and
a 500 percentage. Clem Dreise
werd shut out the visitors 7 to
0 on ten hits.

Pelicans Seek Revenge
From Army Ball men Sunday
The local Pelican baseball
team will be seeking revenge
this Sunday when they face the
Camp Newell army team. The
Pelicans suffered a defcot at the
hands of the soldiers last week
by the score of 13 to 6.
A strengthened team is sure
to be put on the field, as more
additional ballplayers arc to be
signed before the week Is out.
Goldbar, an outfielder, and
Crispi, shortstop, both from last
year's Dorris Lumberjacks arc
expected to sign. Goldbar hit 10
home runs last year and Crispi
is a crackcrjack on defense. A
boy from San Francisco, Bill
Kennerley, sends word that he
will be in Klamath Falls this
weekend and is expected to sign.
Kennerley played in the fast In
dustrial league in San Francisco,
where he hit over .300. Ho is a
smooth working first baseman
and should strengthen the in
field greatly. ,
Several high school boys, who
are playing on the city all-star
team and look impressive in
workouts, may be signed by the
Pelicans.
Pete Lesmelster, business man
ager of the Pelicans, talked to
Bill Hatch, manager of the Bend
team, and pointed out that the
Pelicans could enter the league
