Spokane
Spurting
By The Associated Press
The Spokane Indians, still hoping
to overtake Victoria in the Western
International League pennant
cnase oasnea Yakima twice
Wednesday night to make it 21
wins In 28 starts.
The Indians chased In six runs
m the sixth inning and added two
more In the eighth to down the
Bears 8-3 In the first game of a
doubleheader at Spokane, then
took the seven-inning nightcap 2-1.
The double win left Spokane still
II W games behind Victoria's
Tyeea who were shutout 6-0 by
the Tri-City Braves.
In other league action, Wenat-
cnee trounced Lewiston 13-6 and
Salem nosed out Vancouver 3-1.
Bob Greenwood limited Victoria
to four hits in pitching his shutout
mi Kennewick. None of the Tyees
reached third base.
Wena tehee hopped on four Lewis
ton hurlers for a total of 17 hits to
take a 2-1 edge in the series at
Lewiston. Brone manager Bill
Brenner came in in the sixth and
hut out the Chiefs for the last
three innings, but the damage1 had
already been done.
At Salem. Bud Francis, 20-year-
old rookie, pitched two hit ball
until the ninth inning when Van
couver scored its only run on a
walk and two singles.
Twin No Hit
In 'D' Loop
BATAVIA, N. T., HI One of
baseball's rarest feats a double
no-hit game was turned in by
two Class D Pony League pitchers
Wednesday night with Bradford
aeiesnng Batavia i-o.
Frank Etchbereer. a Philadel
phia Phillies farmhand, gained the
decision over Jim Mitchell as
Bradford put together a walk,
sacrifice, wild pitch and an in
field out for the lone run in the
eighth inning.
Etchberger fanned six and
Walked five. The 19-year old
Mitchell struck out five and passed
one.
The only double no-hit game in
the major league record book was
turned In by Fred Toney of Cin
cinnati and Jim Vaughn of Chicago

8th and Klamath Ph. B141
the A's have as well a balanced
squad statistically as there is in
the league. Three of their number
either lead or are near the top in
almost every hitting department.
Ferris Fain. Dykes' swarthy first
baseman, is making a substantial
bid to retain the league hitting
crown he won last year. He is
setting the pace with a .341 mark,
14 points ahead of his closest pur
suers, Dale Mitchell of Cleveland
and the Yankees' Gene Woodling,
who are deadlocked in second place
with .327. The A's first sacker.
whose forte is consistency, went
four-for-flve last night.
After a slow start Fain rose grad
ually from the low 200s by virtue
of two long hitting streaks, one
for 24 games, a league high this
year. He also seems to have aban
doned the habit of aiming for the
fences. The results speak for them
selves, as his 140 hits are second
best and bis 36 doubles are tops
in the league.
The long ball department Is In
the hands of us Zernial. Gus set
the pace last season In home runs
and runs batted in and is making
motions toward the double crown
again. He stands third in homers
with 33 and third in RBI's with
78.
Last In the trio of Athletics so
prominent in American League hit
ting is the remarkable Eddie Joost.
At the present sidelined with a leg
injury, the' 36-year old shortstop
has been in the big leagues for 16
years, out still ranks second In
runs with 79 and just out of the
top five in home runs with 19. Be
spectacled Eddie has also knocked
in 61 runs, an eye-opening figure
for a leadoff man. In this capaci
ty he tops all leadoff men In
baseball.
In pitching there's no need to
mention how the As stack up.
Every other baseball story this
year has been about Bobby Shams.
Just for the record, he is second
among A. L. hurlers in percentage
with .840. His 21 victories are tops.
In strikeouts little Bob Is third with
118.
Yank Pitching Faltering
NEW YORK ( Win today's
game today and worry about to
morrow's game tomorrow.
That's an old baseball saying in
which Manager Casey Stengel of
the New York Yankees apparently
doesn't concur.
At the least it looks that way
with the pilot of the world cham
pions holding out his two ace pitch
ers Allie Reynolds and Vic
Raschl for the two-game series
against the red-hot Cleveland In
dians opening in Yankee Stadium
tomorrow.
"Old Case," obviously concerned
with Al Lopez's sluggers breathing
down his neck, twice had led with
second-string hurlers against the
second-division Chicago White Sox.
And twice he has seen his proud
Yanks go down to defeat. As a
result today they hold only a one
game margin over the Indians and
that's in the win column. They're
all square on the losing side 60
games each.
That's the shortest lead held by
the champions since June 14, when
they paced Cleveland by a half-
length.
Stengel, however, will try again
today to whip the Pale Hose with
a second-string pitcher. He has
nominated rookie Tom Gorman, a
righthander with a 4 and 1 record.
Should Gorman fail and the Indians
again beat the Boston Red Sox, the
Cleveland leading by one percen
tage point.
Present plans call for Reynolds
to hurl tomorrow's game against
the Indians with Raschl getting
Saturday's assignment.
Either one or both were ready
to pitch against Chicago but Casey
chose to gamble with Johnny
Schmitz Tuesday night and lost.
Then yesterday the Yankee man
ager tried to slip his bullpen bri
gade past the White Sox. Johnny
Sain took a quick whipping as he
was belted for six runs in the
third.
Harry Schaeffer (who didn't get
a pitch over the plate), Jim Mc
Donald, Joe Ostrowski and Bill
Miller trailed Sain in a forlorn
array with only Miller looking like
a major leaguer as the Sox won,
12-3.
