Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, JULY 29, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Trip Giants Snap Streak By BEN FI1LEGAB AP Sports Writer The Milwaukee Braves are build ing up steam lor a fast sweep along the Eastern Seaboard which should determine whether there is any substance to the ghost of a chance they still hold in the Na tional League pennant race. A highly regarded entry during spring training, the Braves floun dered through the first half of the season. But they've started to roll in the last two weeks and last night they ran their current winding streak to six games with a 6-4 victory at Pittsburgh. A getaway game with the Pirates today will be followed by four games In Brooklyn starting tomorrow night,, three in Phila delphia and three with the New York Giants. It would take a virtual sweep to make the Braves' a serious threat. Teams have done it before, al though not recently. Milwaukee trails the second place Dodgers by 8 games and the Giants by 10. In the past week the Braves have cut their deficit by 5'.; lengths. Neither the Braves nor the Dod gers gained any ground yesterday because the Giants broke their six game losing streak at tbe expense of the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0. Philadelphia vaulted into fourth place with a 3-2 victory over Cin cinnati, Brooklyn defeated Chicago 3-1. The Cleveland Indians kept loll ing over the Boston Red Sox, 2-1 for the 15th time in 16 decisions. New York beat Chicago 7- 5 on Mickey Mantle's three-run homer in the ninth. Joe Coleman pitched a three - hitter as Baltimore trimmed Washington 2-1 and De troit trounced Philadelphia 10-2. Ray Bell To Travel With Ducks EUGENE, Ore.

The heavyweight champion has been vacationing at Cape Cod and Grossinger, N. Y. since he won, a unanimous decision over Charles in a rousing 15-round bout at the Stadium, June 17. Charles fought a courageous battle but was well battered at the final bell. In the hours after that battle with Charles, Dr. Vincent Nardi ejlo operated on Marciano's eye, removing old scar tissue from a fight of years ago. He had been cut again early in the Charles bout and bled freely throughout the con test. Rocky still wears a slight scar over the eye is the result of that operation but believes he will be ready to start boxing in a week or 10 days. "I'd like to fight again this year," he said ' yesterday. "The long layoff (nine months) was too much. I need more fights." , Al Weill, Rocky's manager, has been holding out on a definite sign ing with the excuse that he want ed to be sure that the eye had healed perfectly.

The 70-year-old general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates has re duced to a mathematical formula the answer to why pennant winning teams of the past 35 years have been successful. "The formula is so revealing and unrefutable," he says in a story In Life magazine, "that it has com pelled me to put different values on some of my oldest and cher ished, memories." For example he names his 25 top hitters and 10 best pitchers and the results are bound to cause controversy. Babe Ruth is the No. 1 hitter and Carl Hubbell the best pitcher. Ty Cobb, who was regarded by many experts as the greatest hit ter of all time, is only No. 23, and Hubbell Is placed above the likes of Glover Cleveland Alexander, Lefly Grove and Dizzy Dean. In the hitting department, George Slsler, Bill Terry and Paul Waner, all of whom were over the .400- mark at least once in thelrnumber of runs, exclusive of those careers, are not listed In the top 25. . The formula works on the basis that the team with the widest plus margin in scoring runs as com pared to the giving up of runs usually wins the pennant. Rickey says it has proved correct 96.2 per cent of the .time In the last 20 years. ' It deals solely with offense, with the stress on power. He scoffs at Iteming averages, and takes these three basic Ingredients: 1. On base average 2. Extra base power 3. Clutch hitting combined with speed and ability to take the extra base. Under his: rating, Rickey rates Ted Williams second to Ruth fol lowed, in order, by Jimmy Foxx, Rogers Honisby, Hank Greenberg, Ralph Klner, Stan Musial, Joe Di Maggio and Mel Ott. In rating the pitchers, Rickey ad mits he has not been able to figure a better method ihan the present one of earned run averages the scored because of errors, that are charged to a pitcher. 2146 HARROW KLAMATH FAILS Round-up Wins Over Chevron The Round-up Tavern moved a few percentage points closer to second place in the Men's Softball League last night by whipping the Chevron softballers by a 10-7 score.
