WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10, 1?4t HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. ORECON PACE TEN Kinder Slaps Yanks With 10-Hit Chore Dominic's Hitting Spree Chopped In 6-3 Boston Win Br the AsaiM-laled Tm If the Boston Red So ever catch up with the New York Yankees In their season-lonR American league pennant chase, most of the credit must be given to their much maligned pitching statl. In the last live merles, during which time the Red Sox have picked up six and half games on the front-running Yankee. Boston hurlers have pitched 24 complete times In 34 starts. As a result, they've won 25 of them to whittle their deficit to five and a half games. On July the Red Sox trailed the leaders by 12 games. Ellis Kinder, the Red Sox' right handed ace, Is the latest to go the rout. He finished what he started last night, beating the Yankees, 8-3. for his 13th Tlctory against five losses. Kinder permitted the Yankees 10 hits, Including a pair of home runs by Outfielder Hank Bauer, but an early 6-0 lead furnished by Birdie Tebbetts and Ted Williams carried him through. Tebbetts parked one two-run homer In the second, and Williams duplicated the catchers feat in the third. HIT STREAK ENDED A capacity crowd of 35 991 was mad happy by Boston's first vte tory of the season over Raschi. a note of disappointment crept in. however, by the Inability of Dom DiMaggio to prolong his consecutive game hitting streak. The Red Sox centerflelder. who had hit In S4 consecutive games, was held hitless In five trips to the plate. Williams' homer, his 28th of the season, was the 250th of his career. The triumph, Boston's 12th In 15 starta In this current home stand, left the third place Bosox still a game behind the runner up Cleve land Indian The tribe whipped the 6U Louis Browns, 9-2. to reduce the Yankees' lead to four and a half games. Bob Feller gamed his fourth Knight and 10th Tlctory of the aeason as the Indians ended a three-fan losing streak. The star righthander aided his own cause with a bases-teaded single to the fifth and a double In tho eighth. The fourth place Philadelphia Athletics and fifth place Detroit Tigers won their games, to move forward also. The As, aided by IS bases en balls, defeated Washing ton, s-1, and the Tigers Walloped the Chicago white Box, 11-5. The A s are now 1H games behind, the Tigers . KNOT REMAINS Brooklyn and St. Louis continued k then- first place National league deadlock. The Dodgers whipped the Philadelphia Phils. S-t. and the Cardinals won from Cincinnati, The New York Giants protected their hold on third place by edging cut the Boston Braves, 4-3. In the only daylight contest, the Pitts burgh Pirates slugged the Chicago Cubs. (-3. Rookie Carl Ersklne hurled three hit ban for Brooklyn. He lost his shutout In the ninth when Bill Nicholson tripled asd scored en a fielder's choice. Southpaw Harry Brecheen per mitted the Reds only seven hits and did not Issue a pass to post his ninth Tlctory for the Cardinals. He helped his cause with a single and triple. . Shaughnessy PlayOSSs Tonight The county Softball league Shaughnessy play-offs get under way tonight on the Merrill field, al though the final outcome will have no bearing on what team will repre sent district 7 In the state tourney. a berth already latched down by the Eagles. The Eagles nine, behind the superb pitching of Chet Ashby, squeaked by with a 6 to 6 win over Memu Billiards Monday night to finish one game ahead of the Bills In the final standing. Tonight the Eagles win face Cal houn's, third-place team, in the 1:30 opener and the Billiards go against the Knights of Columbus, fourth-placer after a slow start. The two winners will vie In the best two of three games while the losers will also tangle for the third and fourth Shaughnessy spots. Games will go on tonight, Friday, next Monday, and Wednesday if V necessary. District play-offs were cancelled this year. Ashland snubbed a chance to engage In district play, giving no particular reason for the move, while Lskeview, the other district 7 point, felt that lt wasn't well enough organized for the Softball play-offs.
