Feller Gives A's Three Hits By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writr Bobby Feller and his Cleveland Tribe have cooled off Connie Mark's Athletics and wrested the actual American league lead from Philadel- P'll8By a mathematical freak, the Indians slipped into first place Tuesday night when they really trailed the As by a half game. No longer Is there any freak about IU Feller took care of that. The flreballlng righthander, who was the only American leaguer to win 30 games last season, hung up his fifth victory last night by trimming Philadelphia, 6-1, with three hits. Feller's brilliant pitching permitted the Tribe to sweep the series from the A's, who came into town on a red hot spree after winning a double header in the Yankee stadium. They moved on to Detroit in second place. Last night's crowd of 33.871 saw Feller retire the side in order In avn or me nine minium uct the home club routed Bill Dietrich in a five-run fifth. Hal Newhouser got back on the win path after being knocked out live siraigiiv uukb .... , ntmit to a 4-1 decision over Bos- I ton. Hal tied a record when he started four of the Tigers' six dou ble plays. BREAKS UP GAME Vic Werts broke up a 1-1 game when he homered off Ellis Kinder with two on in the last of the ninth. Pat Mullin's homer in the Xourth accounted for the other run. The New York Yankees finally got a route-going Job from Lefty Ed Lopat, ex-White Sox'er, who allowed 12 hits in taking an 8-4 verdict over Fred Sanford and the 8t Louis Browns. pitcher Early Winn helped Wash ington out of srruble with his bat. Coming in as plnchhitter he singled home two runs that start ed the Senators to a 4-1 nod over Chicago. There were some high shenani gans at Ebbets field, where the St. Louis Cardinals thumped Brook lyn: 14-7, before a night crowd of 32.888. It lasted for three hours and 28 minutes and consumed five n( the Brooks' seven able pitchers. Clyde King, who replaced Starter Rex -Barney, caught the loss and the win went to Ted Wilks, the third Card chucker. FOURTH IN ROW While the Dodgers were losing their fourth in a row at home, the Phils were coming from behind to shade Chicago. 2-1. Two in the last of the ninth on a triple by Johnny Blatnik and singles by Del Innis, Eddie Miller and Howie Schulti turned Clif Chamber's po tential shutout Into a decision for Reliefer Sam Nahem. The New York Giants took ad vantage of another fine pitching Job by Larry Jansen, who curved the ball past Cincinnati for a 5-0 victory. Whitey Lockman and Bill Bigney hit homers for the Giants. Boston uncovered a new rookie, Vern Bickford, who may have an Important bearing on the race. Bickford, making his first start, limited Pittsburgh to five hits in a, 4-1 victory. Game Hangs In Balance Every game in the Far West league was rained out last night and the chances are very good that the same will happen again tonight. The Gems got a day of rest while the boys explored the town but have a joust with the Santa Rosa Pirates scheduled for tonight, 7:45 at Gems stadium. Yesterday's game was called off after morning rains and the unturfed field is still very wet A decision whether the game will be played was expected about 1 p. m. No games have been played in the Far West circuit since Mon day night and consequently Santa Rosa still rides at the top of the heap with 11 wins and six losses, followed by Oroville and Redding at nine and six, and Marysville at eight and six. The Gems are tied for fifth place with eight wins and nine defeats with the Pittsburg Diamonds. Six-Wheeler An Indianapolis Unusual I s ,,,,,,, qt lfcsl.y.

May 20 i.W Larry Jansen, the tall, thin man of the New York Omuls, in his own quiet and efficient wny, is using the critics who predicted he would not re pout the 21 victories he racked up as a freshman Inst year. The 27-year-old righthander from Forest Grove. Ore., refuses to ven ture an opinion himself, but his four victories to date, including three-hit. four-hit and seven-hit performances, give him a good talk ing point. "I feel better and stronger than I ever did In my life but I can't sny I'll win 20 games again." he begged off. "That takes a great deal of luck and you've got to have cir cumstAiices in your favor." What about the theory that Jnn sen. primarily a control artist, hasn't the high, hard one deemed necessary to win consistently in the majors? "I rely mostly on the slider and spot pitching." explained Jansen. "My fast one such as it is cer tainly Lin t my best pitch. I don't throw it often. I threw it only three or four times In today's Rimie Just to let them know that I have It." With or without the fast ball, Jansen set the Cincinnati Reds down with seven hits and shut them out 5-0. He fanned four to take the leadership in the majors with 33 strikeouts. It was his first shutout of the season and equalled his en tire 1947 total. He walked only one man. which Is Just about his quota per game. Manager Mel Ott says It was Just about the best game Jansen has pitched this year. Huskies Favored PULLMAN.
