Washington Blast Tigers
Twice, 4-3, 3-1; Dodgers
Hold 10-4 Lead Over Cub
Bv JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Detroit's march to the Amer
ican league flag appears to have
hit a suae in the east where the
injury-ridden Tigers have won
only three of nine and dropped
back toward the pack.
The distance from the leading
Bengals to the sixth-place de
fending champion St Louis
Browns is only 5t games today.
Inconsistency continues to be
the only consistent factor in the
pennant race with each club
taking turns blowing hot and
cold. After dropping two dou
bleheaders in succession, the
Washington Senators turned on
Detroit last night and dumped
them twice.
Browns Dump Yank
Cleveland, which has been
showing signs of life before hit
ting Philadelphia, was bumped
off in both games of a twi-night
double by the Athletics, while
the Brownies, struggling all year
to stay even with the .500 mark
turned Yankee killers and beat
New York two games.
Sue teams have won more
than they nave lost and only the
cellarite Athletics, 17 1 tilts off
the pace, are hopelessly dis
tanced.
Washington's twin pitching
stars, Dutch Leonard and Roger
Wolff, made life miserable for
the Tigers, who have been hit
ting an anemic .210 on the cur
rent jaunt Leonard made a
one-run lead stand up from the
fourth inning, 4-3, with the help
of a fine relay throw to the
plate by Gil Torres, cutting off
the tying run. Wolff was in con
trol all the way, allowing only
four singles in a 3-1 triumph,

The Chicago White Sox took

Brooklyn thinks it knocked

in the National but the Dodgers
won't know for sure until Sep

By PAUL WELLS
Associated Press Sports Writer
It won't appear in the record
books, but it Portland's con
sistent Beavers win the Pacific
Coast league pennant this year
they can credit the Hollywood
Stars and San Francisco Seals
with an assist.
The Stars dropped their fourth
tn a row to Portland 2-1 last
night while the Seals were
knocking off the second-place
Seattle Ralniers 7-5, boosting the
Beavers' lead to six games as
much of a bulge as they have
had all season over their north
west rivals.
In games with a California
setting, Sacramento shut out
Los Angeles 3-0 behind by
Fletcher's five hit twirling and
Oakland's Acorns soltt a twin
bill with the San Diego Padres,
winning the curtain raiser 3-2
and dropmng the finale a-o.
Pitchers' Battle
Portland's victory over Holly
wood, which has lost 10 ot its
last 12 engagements, was a tight
pitchers' battle with, Wandel
"Lefty" Mossor shading right
hander Ronnie Smith. The
Beavers got their first run in
the opening frame when Spencer
Harris scored from second on
Manaeer Marv Owen's single.
Their second tally came in the
fourth when Frank Demaree
doubled, went to third on Owen's
one-bagger and came home on a
fly ball by Johnny O'Ncil. The
Stars pushed over their lone
counter in the first of the fourth
when Ben Cantrell walked, ad
vanced to third on Hugh Wil
lingham's double and scored on
an infield out Mossor struck
out 11 men. Both clubs got
seven hits apiece.
Sacramento's 3-0 triumph
over the Angels was Fletcher's
16th win and sixth shutout ot
the season.
Oakland and San Diego are
tied at two-all in their meeting
as the result of last night s split.
The Oaks came from behind to
win the abbreviated first game
3-2, scoring all their runs in the
last' two innings.

By PAUL HAINES
Antone Leone took a Brody
last night by fulling to uppcur
for his scheduled bout with
Jack Lipscomb so Promoter
Mack Llllurd staged a "battlu
royal" by popular danumd.
Leone's bestial visago was
thus not missed by the patrons
of Gladiator's Gully,
In the subsequent main event
It was Georges Dussette's full
Nelson against Kmlo Piluso's
powerful deadlocks with Dus
sette emerging tho victor In a
fine bout. It may have lacked
the flavor of sumo of the more
rugged performances of Punch
Pliiin, but to many it was a
welcome change.
Dusette captured tho first fall
In the second heat by applying
a bone-crushing full-Nelson that
was more than Ernie bargained
for.
Ernie Takes Fall
Not to be outdone, however,
Piluso proved his mettle by an
nexing the second fall and even
ing the count with a headlock
that mode Dussctte's head look
the size of an unhealthy orange.
In the fourth canto tho boys
went at It hot and heavy. First
one had the advantage and then
the other with each trying
desperately for his favorite
hold. The clambake came to a
climax when Georges finally
slaoped on another Nelson for
keeps to take the final fall and
the match.
Jack Llnscomb lived up to
his renutntlnn In the seml-wiiul
uo with Milt Olsen bv getting
himself d'squall'lcd. Buck
waxed a bit too enthusiastic In
