GEfAS SPEED WA - tED HURDSpertt Uhor ' Feller Faces Yankees -' By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Fresa Sports Writer Cleveland's Bobby Feller, never a fireball against the New. York Yankees, today draws the tremen dous, task, of trying to stop them from winning 16 straight. Under normal conditions Feller isn't the pitcher you would pick to beat the Yanks, especially when they, are in a winning mood. Even in the days when he was Rapid Robert, he never completely solved the New Yorkers. They're the only outfit in the league with a lifetime edge over him, having beaten Bob 36 times In 65 decisions. But conditions aren't normal In the American League. The Yank kees not only are threatening to run 'off and hide, they've already done It from at least six ot the seven other clubs. CHANCE Only Cleveland holds a wisp of a chance barring a complete Yan kee collapse. Today's game has to be the big one. Tne inaians am Ti behind and they have two more coming up with New York tomor row. The season Is a third over. Since nobody else is beating the Yankees, Cleveland can't afford to let this series slip by without gain ing some ground. The Indians haven't been hitting recently and last night was no ex ception. Their two runs were homers, by Pale Mitchell and Hank Majeskl, but they got only four other safeties. The Yanks, as usual, had one big Inning. They scored three runs in tne seventh on four singles and a pair of walks. Whltey Ford, lifted during the rally for a pinch hitter, won his seventh straight. . The National League lead changed hands tor the fourth time in two weeks Is Milwaukee split a . night doublehe'ader with Pitts burgh, losing 4-2 and winning 11-2, while Brooklyn defeated Chicago. 7-4. Brooklyn now leads by half a game. St, Louis whipped the New York Giants, 1-1, and Cincinnati sur prised Philadelphia, 4-1. 11 LOSSES In other American League games Detroit edged Washington. 3-1; Boston nipped Chicago, 4-3 and Philadelphia ran the St. Louis Browns' losing streak to 11 with a 6-3 triumph. Eddie Mathews smashed his 19th home run and two triples in the first 'Milwaukee-Pittsburgh game. The Braves roared back with 10 runs In the first inning of the night cap on nine singles, permitting Max Surkont to coast to his eighth victory. Brooklyn blew an early three run lead against the Cubs, then rallied against Sheldon Jones for two runs in the fourth and one more in the seventh. Jim Hughes, in relief, picked up his first victory. Qrant Dunlap made one of his rare appearances as a pinch hitter for the Cardinals at New York and delivered a triple with two on base as the Red Birds came up with three runs in the seventh, DISTANCE Jackie Collum of Cincinnati, the smallest pitcher in the majors, went the distance for the second time since he first hit the big lea gues in 1951 and picked up his first victory in two years. Earl Torgeson's homer was the only damaging one of six Philadelphia hits. Jim Delslng provided a sudden death finish at Detroit when he blasted the first pitch in the last of the ninth into the stands tor a home run. The Senators had tied the game in the top of the ninth. Hector (Skinny) Brown, a wash out when he worked for the Chi cago White Sox. came back to haunt his old mates as he com bined with Ellis Kinder to 'beat them on seven hits. For the second time in two days Eddie Robinson brought Philadel phia a victory with a home run. He beat Chicago Thursday with a ninth inning homer and at St. Louis last night he broke a 3-3 tie with a circuit clout which also scored Dave Philley. In 1664, Milwaukee's baseball team was a member of the Union Association. The club was known as the "Onions." TIME OUT! r 3- vi "Thanks anyway for breaking up a very dull afternoon!"
