Redbirds Drop
Off Top Perch
Br The Associated Press
St. Louis Cardinals, who couldn't "see" Ewell Blackwell when
the itringbean Cincinnati righthander wai recommended to them
live years ago, wouldn't mind at all If they never saw him aiiain.
Not only did the 23-yoar-old, six-foot-five-inch fireballer from
Fresno, Calif., knock the Redbirds out of their half of the top
perch In the National league standings last night, but he became
the second hurler to register two victories over the Cards. Pitts
burgh's Ken HcinUelman Is the other.
In clipping the Redbirds' wings 5-1 for the Reds, Blackwell
dealt the Cards only four hits and turned back six on strikeouts.
Defeat dropped the Cards into second place, one full game
behind Brooklyn Dodgers wno"
took over undisputed possession
of first place by whipping Phil
adelphia Phils t)-i.

Peanuts For
Beating Oma
NEW YORK, May 25 l
Jersey Joe Walcott and Laughing
Lee Oma dropped into Mike
Jacobs' sumptuous offices today
to pick up a paycheck apiece,
thereby demonstrating the eas
iest and the toughest way to
make a dollar these days.
Of course it was more than a
matter of simple economics,
since Jersey Joe was going to get
just about coffee and cake mon
ey with maybe a bit more
thrown in for the morning pa
pers for clobbering Laughing
Lee thoroughly and frequently
all around Madison Square Gar
den last night, while Oma was
picking up a flat $35,000 for
practically getting his ears beat
off without apparently worrying
about it.
Jersey Joe won this heavy
weight decision in 10 rounds for
the entertainment of a cozy gath
ering of 11,760, obviously cur
tailed by the railroad strike. But
under one of those fancy finan
cial deals, boxing's latest "Cin
derella Man" was guaranteeing
the reformed tank artist from
Detroit a flat $35.000 win. lose
or waltz just for getting in the
ring with him.
And since the gate onlv came
to $82,702 gross, or some $62,000
net, Jersey Joe wound ud with
about $2000 for himself after
paying up Lee. All of which
won't buy a lot of shoes for Joe's
six kiddies down in Camden.
Thats the hard wav to make
buck in the beak-busting trade.
Oma's obviously was some
what easier. He lost only nine
out oi iu rounds.
Tulelakt Gunners
Will Shoot Again
The trapshoot held last Sun
day at Tulelake by the Tule-lake-Butte
Valley Sportsmen's
association was such a success
that it is planned to hold an
other one this Sunday at 10 a.
m.
A crowd of approximately
300 persons attended the shoot
which was the first held at the
old location since the beginning
of the war. Another good crowd
is expected this Sunday. After
the shoot refreshments will be
served.
Frisco Edwards
Dies At Game
BREMERTON, May 25 VP)
Leo (Frisco) Edwards, man
ager of the Salem Senators of
the Western International
league, died last night of a
heart attack as he sat in the
Bremerton baseball park
talking shop with friends.
Dr. Kenneth Jackson said
death was instantaneous. His
Salem team, which estab
lished a W-I league record
with 13 straight victories, vot
ed to play its scheduled game
with Bremerton.
"The boys thought it was
what Frisco would have want
ed," said Catcher Woody Sal
mon, who took over as man
ager. Edwards grew up in Salem
and managed semi-pro and
Junior Legion clubs before
becoming a Pacific Coast
league umpire. He dropped
umpiring this year to take
over the management of his

ment of glory and left them six
games from the lop.
It was the then powerful com
bination leaning heavily on ex
Chicago Cubs playing for Mana
ger Bill Sweeney of the Angels
that first cut the props from
under the Scab, never headed
until last week. During .the
same week the Hollywood Stars,
now the nemesis of the Angels,
took a seven-game thrashing in
uaKiana s ascendancy.
One of the answers to the big
Los Angeles fall lies in Holly
wood's improved pitching and
generally heads-up performances
this week. Last night Manny
Perez limited the Angels to six
hits, while the inspired Twink
lers tapped Angel Ace Red Lynn
for nine.
Weather did what no baseball
team has done to the Oaklanders
in 10 straight games, stopping
them last night at Portland. Rain
forced the game to be called in
the first half of the irst Inning.
Frisco Cops Two
Oakland's idleness gave San
Francisco, refusing to be count
ed out, a doubleheader chance
to creep up on the leaders. The
Seals defeated the San Diego
Padres, 3 to 2 and 4 to 2, leav
ing San Francisco a game and a
half behind the Acorns.
Larry Jansen, giving no walks,
fanning four and yielding seven
hits, turned in the first win.
Lefty Bill Werle, although in
trouble in late Innings, limited
the Padres to five hits to cop the
seven-inning nightcap. With the
Padres threatening in the
seventh frame of the first game.
Manager Pepper Martin went in
as a pinchhitter and fanned for
the final out.
Solons Blast Rainiers
The Sacramento Solons and
Seattle Rainiers continued their
see-saw squabble over sixth
place, with the Solons moving in
on a 14-5 walloping of the Rai
niers. The game evened the
clubs' series of two wins apiece.
Eleven of Sacramento's and two
of Seattle's tallies in the free
scoring contest were unearned.
Cliff Mapes homered twice and
cracked out a single to drive in
four of the Seattle runs. The
Rainiers committed six errors.

my health would be seriously
jeopardised if 1 continue us
muimgcr of the Yuukees and
this is the sole reason for my
decision which, as you know,
is entirely voluntary on my
part," the McCarthy resigna
tion read.
"After being Introduced by
MuclMiull during a hastily ar
ranged press conference as "the
manager of the Yankees for the
rest of the 1 U-ttI season and for
all of 11)47." Dlekey took over
on a humble note.
"It's going to be mighty tough
to step into the shoes of the
greulcst inunuger In baseball
history," began his acceptuncp
speech. "And while I'm trying
to do It, I'm going to continue
catching as long us I feel 1 can
help the club."
McCarthy's Choice
MucPhull, before Introducing
Dickey to the Yankee pluyrrs
its their new pilot, said tluit the
veteran backstop not only was
his first choice to assume such
responsibility but also that of
the abdicated McCarthy, who,
during a five-year munugrriul
term in the National league, led
the ChU-ugo Cubs to the 1U2II
pennant.
