Fred Gay Pitches, Bats
j Naval Air Station to 14
to 7 Win Over Craters
!rrl fiav Ditched and batted
the navy to a 14 to 7 victory
over the Medford Craters Sunday
in a' game that was tighter than
the score would indicate.
p Olsen started on the mound
fcir the sailors but the valley boys
found his offerings to their lik
ing ana pounaea mm ior one run
in the first inning and five runs
in the second frame before ex-
Yankee Uay took over ana quel
led the uprising,
t .'But the Crater spurt had put
Mir sailors behind 6 to 0 in their
half of the second Inning. How
ever they scored three unearned
runs in. that, frame and added
four more runs in the third to
take a one run lead which they
never lost again.
It was still anybody's game
until the gobs staged a four-run
rally in the eighth that put the
game on ice. The Medfordites' in
ability to bring their men in to
score after they got on base cost
them the game as they left 11
men on base compared to only
four left on base by the navy.
1 Both teams played well in the
field and the Craters twice pulled
doubleplays tl.at cut off potential-
navy runs. Second Baseman
Calac was the standout for the
Craters defensively making four
unassisted putouts and five as
sists as weu as participating in
both double plays.
Eleven valley players went
down swinging as Gay notched
nine strikeouts and Olsen picked
up two. The three Medford hurl
ers failed to fan anybody. Only
four walks were issued during
the whole game, two by Gay and
one "each from Johnson and
Lar.ge.
' The 'sailors got 13 hits off the
three Crater hurlers while the
Medford champs got 11 bingles.
Olsen gave up seven hits in 2 23
innings and Gay was hit only
four times. Gay had the game
so well- in hand that only one
run was scored off him and it
was unearned.
Every man on the navy squad
got a hit except the catcher, Bit
enour, and he got credit for driv
ing in a run. -,. . .
Harvey Storey led the seafar
ers! ..hitting . with a double and
a. triple" in four times at bat. Gay
followed with two doubles: in
four chances. In addition Gay
drove in three runs to lead that
department and he scored three
tunes himself. W alder of. the
navy was among the leaders with
two singles in three times at bat.
' W. B.- Hibbs of Hibbs Clothing
company offered $5 and later
smu to any player who would hit
a fair-ball over the fence. Two
batters sent balls that hit the
left field fence but nobody man
aged k put one completely over.
Storey i whammed two balls in
succession over the left field
fence but- they were both foul
ay a lew xeet.

Road Trip
Sc. Louis Holds Two Gomes
Oyer Second Ploc Yonki;
Burnt Step Losses at IS
By JOE REICHLER
(Associattd Praia Sports Writer)
The St. Louis Browns, en
route home today from their sec
ond eastern road trip, still are
perched at the top of the stand
ings, giving every indication
they are the team to beat for the
American league flag.
They wound up their stay
abroad by capturing both games
of a doubleheader from the
Cleveland Indians, 8-7 and 2-1,
before 32,553, with both games
going 12 innings. The double win
gave the Browns a record of 10
wins and 10 losses on their trip,
after having dropped four of
their first six games.
The sweep increased the
Browns' first place lead over the
New York Yankees to two full
games. Second Baseman Pon
Gutteridge featured in both vic
tories. He scored the winning
runs in the 12th innings of each
game, tallying in the opener, on
George McQuinn's single and
scoring in the nightcap when
Milt Byrnes followed his lead
off triple with a long fly.
Four home runs gave the New
York Yankees a 7-1 victory over
the Boston Red Sox in the open
er of a scheduled twin-bill be
fore 41,171. A thundershower
prevented the teams from play
ing the second game.
Dizzy Trout won his second
game in four days and 12th of
the season as Detroit and the
Chicago White Sox divided their
doubleheader, the White Sox
winning the first 7-2 and the
Tigers taking the second 7-3.
The Chicago Cubs and the
Pittsburgh Pirates exchanged 1-0
shutouts, with Hank Wyse of the
Cubs gaining the nod over Truett
(Rip) Sewell In the opener, and
Max Butcher of the Pirntes shad
ing Claude Passeau in the sec
ond, before 40,820 at Wrlgley
field.
The league leading St. Louis
Cardinals and the Cincinnati
Reds split their doubleheader.
The cards won the opener 4-2.
The Reds took the nightcap 3-2.
Washington won two games
from the Philadelphia Athletics,
9-4 and 4-3, with Milo Candini
and Micky Haefner gaining the
decisions.
Brooklyn ended its biggest los
ing streak in history by winning
the second game 8-5 from the
Boston Braves, after having drop
ped its 15th straight in losing
the opener, 8-4.
' "The'New York Giants dropped
the first game to the Philadelphia
rnuues, 0-2. Tney were lead
ing 6-3 after eight innings of the
nightcap, when the game was
halted by the Pennsylvania 6:55
