Seattle and Los Angeles engage
In a seven-gome scries, starting
Tuesday . night, . that is strictly
"make or break'' for'tlie Angels.
' Manager' Stan Hack wasn't sup
' posed to have a Ilrst division team
during the tpring training, but
three months have come and gone
and the Angels not only are In
first division, but only six games
back ot the Pacific Coast League
leading Seattle Rainlers.
Still, Los Angelea will have to
take this series at Wrlgley Field
.to make inroads on the Seattle
,lead. The Angels took the Portland
Beavers apart here and Portland
proceeded to win five of eight from
Seattle, and in Seattle, at that.
Open
On that kind of reasoning, the
Angels could come through, but
Manager Bill Sweeney seems to
have the class of the league, even
if bis Rainlejs are only i i games
in front of Hollywood, the 1953
champs. . ' ,. ;
Sweeney has been' quoted as say
lng he thinks Hollywood Is tha
team his club has to beat to win
the ennant, "But I think we're
going to win It." and he likes Los
Angeles to stay in the running right
down to the wire and make things
interesting. ,
This series is the first this year
between the Angels and Rainlers.
Los Angeles has only two lefties,
Joe Hatten and Joe Ostrowskl, to
throw at the overpowering array
Baseball In Trouble:
By GAYLE TALBOT. '
NEW, YORK WV-In the wake of
the Yankees' sacking and pillag
ing of the last remaining Indian
settlement on Lake Erie, columnist
Ed McAuley of the Cleveland New
says in sepulchral tones: .
"Organized baseball is in trouble.
Its ailments will be aggravated
seriously if the four.tiine winners
continue to make, a Joke of the
'flag race."
Truer words were seldom spok-
en. li the American League thinks
It has a headache in Its various
television problems. Just wait until
Casey Stengel's runaways increase
- their lead to 18 or 20 games along
in August.
KNOTHEADS
Who, for Instance,' beyond a few
homeless ' knotheads from t be
Bronx , would be Interested In
watching the big team win Its 19th
. straight tonight at the expense of
the St. Louis Browns, losers of 14
In a row? It could get worse than
that, though not much.
As McAuley goes on to say, no-
Body wishes the Yankees to let
up. "The task of balancing the
league-belongs to the clubs behind
them, not to the conquering lead
ers," he sighs. But in the following
" paragraph, Ed concedes Ihere is
uo prospect of relief soon:
"Doggedly, patiently and no
doubt expensively the clubs which
trail the Yankees will have to dup
licate their operation, not only on
-the field but In the front office.
So far only one owner, Tom Yawk
ey of Boston, has shown the ability
and the disposition to match check
books with the champions."
MESS ' '
Coining from Cleveland, where
the suffering must be intense, these
remarks are unusually tolerant
and well timed. They are not the
cry of the wounded, but simply a
statement of fact that -the Ameri
can League has a mess on Its
hands. The Yankees are much too
good for their opposition, and at
tendance Is going to suffer the re
mainder of the summer. t ;
At least a half-dozen local fans
who make an occasional visit to
Yankee Stadium have told me in
recent days they are through for
this year, at least. They don't
blame the Yank players for whoop
ing It up and going for that (6,000
World Series cut. They just no
longer are interested 'When there
is no pennant race..
Series
of left-band batters in the Seattle
used in relief roles almost exclus
ively. Los Angeles is showing the
way In the number of men lft on
base, and the lack of long ball hit
ters In the clutch was hurt Hack's
team. Hack is hoping for lue early
return or home run slugger Max
West, who has been out of uni
form since early in the season with
a bad knee. 1
. Hollywood engages Sacramento
In another topflight series this
week. The Sacs, under Gene Desau
tels, are playing good baseball and
they have the league's leading hit
ter In Bob Dillinger. He and Nip
Jones are the only .300 hitters, but
the Sacs have several other dang
erous men at the plate in the .260
to .290 range. .
Turner Wins Split 70- Round Decision
By RALPH BERNSTEIN
PHILADELPHIA Boxing has
reached the point where damage
to a fighter's future sometimes is
of more concern than damage to
me anatomy, on- that score Oil
Turner and Johnny Saxon both
emerged unscathed last night al
though Turner put the finish to
friend Johnny's i unbeaten status.
Turner won a split 10-round
.decision in a fast and furious tight
at v.onnie juacx stadium. The
action-packed bout was a thriller
from start to finish and the crowd
of 14,676 went home satisfied it
had got Its $70,925 worn. . t
CARD
Judge Jimmy Mcnna said Turner
won 4-3-3: Judge Dave Beloff
picked him 5-4-1; Referee Zach
C'ayton liked Saxton 5-4-1. The
Associated -Press picked Turner
6-3-2. The action was that close.
Before the fight, the two 22-year-old
battlers were looking ahead as
well as thinking about the fight.
Turner hadn't looked too good in
his last few fights. One school of
thought said the furious punching
Phlladelphian was burned out. He
had to win to maintain his No. S
welterweight ranking and quality
for another shot at Kid Cavllan's
147-pound crown.
On the other hand, Saxton had
won 39 lights and fought one draw.
Despite this fancy record, Johnny
was unable to crash the big money
fights. This was his chance.
RESULT
What was the result?
Well, Turner won and proved he
wasn't burned out. He fought hard
for 10 rounds and with a slashing
body attack and occasional Jolting
right hand to the face gained the
split verdict. Hell probably fight
Chuck Davey In July or August,
and If he wins will get an oppor
tunity Id the fall to avenge his
11-round knockout by Gavllan.
Oil's gaudy record now reads 37
wins and 3 defeats.
Saxton. - who weighed !47'i.
proved his class. The fast, shifty
counterpuncher stayed with Turn
er, who came In at 153'i, all the
way.
