Al'fll'ST 2fl, 19S2 Tracks qkidsS loses Mbrlnlittfeir vera Scorer Uncertain On Rizzuto's Grounder By JOE RICIfHtKR AP Sports Writer Virgil Trucks was ridlne an the clouds today but If the double no hit pitcher of the Detroit TtKers was going; around In circles, who could blame him? The 33-vear-old righthander, suf fering his poorest season in the lnaors, suddenly finds himself in the pitchers' mythical Hall of Fame, Joining Johnny Vander Meer and Allie Reynolds on a spe cial pedestal reserved for those who achieve two no-hitters in the same season. Trucks held the New York Yan kees hltless yesterday at the Yan kee Stadium and won, 1-0. in a sensational, thrill packed per formance that cut the world cham pions' American League lead to one game over the Cleveland In dians, who defeated Washington. 7-3. The classic came just three months and 10 days after he hand cuffed the Washington Senators without a hit or a run on May 15. The Birmingham flreballer also has pitched a one-hitter, a two hitter, a four-hitter, a five-hitter and two six hitters. Yet he has only five victories to show for his efforts as against 15 defeats. Only Art Houtleman. a teanunate, has lost more. WINNING KIN A seventh lnnlni double by Wal ter Dropo followed by Steve Sou chock's single off rookie Bill Miller provided Trucks with the winning margin. It was his third 1-0 tri umph and his first victory since he hurled a one-hitter against the Senators July 22. Even yesterday, Jn his greatest hour of glory, the Jinx was reluct ant to leave him. It was not until the Yankees were going to bat in the seventh inning that Trucks Ever (mellow drop .KENTUCKY IdMIDDMI UUUI.UUII nimxrr nuiMT tootMi WKisrrr. ruts hi u riooF. m nut iisnuiw a, fumhht, n learned he had a no-hllter going. Until then he. along with everyone else, was under the assumption lhat he had allowed a hit tn the third inning. In that innlne. Phil Rluuto chopped a simple grounder to short. Johnny PesK.v fleidej tne ball cleanlv and then bobbled It in his giove as ne tried to nick it nut far the throw to first. After one bad stab, he itrabbcd it but the toss was low and late and Ruuuto was safe. ERROR John Drebincer. official scorer and veteran baseball writer of the New York Times, called it an error immediately and ih "f flashed on the scoreboard in cen- teriieid. Then, after a moment's reflection, he reversed himself. Under the tmoression that th hail had stuck in the webbing of Pes ky's glove, Drebincer chanced It to a hit. Still not satisfied. Drebincer tele phoned Pesky in the visitors' dug out as the Users' came to hut in the seventh and the shortstop readi ly took tne blame. 'It was my fault. I booted the ball," he explained. "I had it in my glove but it squirted loose just as I reached to take it out.'" Drebinger then reversed himself again, ruled It an error and had the public address system announce it to the customers. The crowd greeted the announcement with roar oi approval and Trucks, vis ibly alfected. worked all the hard. er in the three remaining innings. univ two otner Yankees besides Rizzuto reached base, one on a walk and another on an error. U HITS The Indians clubbed Connie Mar- re ro for 12 hits, erupting for three runs in the second and four in the ninth as Bob Lemon registered his mm victory with an eight-hitter. The Brooklyn Dodgers Just about killed the Cardinals' sum pennant chances, sweeping both ends of a day-night St. Louis doubleheader. 3-1 and 9-5. to boost their National League lead to 10'7 games. The New York Giants slipped past the Cardinals into second place despite a 3-0 loss to Cincinnati. A five-run ninth inninr. climaxed oy noy campaneua a Home run with two on after Pee Wee Reese had singled in the tying and win ning runs, finished off the Cards in the nightcap. The Dodgers snapped a l-l first-game tie in the seventh, scoring twice on singles by George Scuba, on Hodges and Andy Pafko and a long foul fly by Camoanella. Rookie John Rutherford limited the Redbirds to two hits. Ken Raffensberger blanked the Giants with six hits to register his fifth shutout and his 14th victory lor ine Reas. orannv Hamner'n homer with two on in the 10th gave the Philadelphia Phils a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs' in tne majors' only otner activity. All other teams were not scheduled. - S 'y n ft HOW-HI-FLY . . . two-timer Fly Wins Hales Run How-HI-Flv is making a habit of winning the Jack Hales Trophy Re triver Trials. Dr. George DeWoodv Massey's black labrador won the annual trial lor the second straight year Sun day at Odessa Creek. He was hand led by veteran Pat Montgomery.
