KER-PLUNK!
The Yankees are last
ine club that has won nine
American League pennants and
leven world championships in 10
years is in the cellar.
You have to go back to May 25.
1940, to find a set of. standings
that shows the New York Yankees
in eighth place at this stage of the
Reason. And those 1940 Yankees,
too, were world champions. They
had won four consecutive World
Series, and had swept the Chicago
Cubs . and Cincinnati in lour
straight in 19.18 and 1939.
Yet that New York Yankee
club too was last. By Aug. 9 it
still was only a .500 team 151-51).
and while it was to make a brief
stand in first place, it finished
third missing a fifth consecu
tive pennant by three games.
Detroit was the champion, by
one game over Cleveland and three
games over New York.
Of the 16 players Manager
Casey Stengel used as Detroit
plunked the Yankees into the eel
lar with a 13-6 crash Wednesday,
only Enos Slaughter was in organ
ized ball in 1940. He was the 24-year-old
country boy playing out
fiaM for the St. Louis Cardinals
Stengel? He was managing the
National League s old Boston
Bees, who escaped the cellar in
the last month and finished sev
enth.
While the nation's baseball fans
eyed the bottom of the AL stand
ings, Cleveland clung to the top
with a 5-3 victory at Washington
Wednesday night. The Chicago
White Sox remained within half
game of the Indians by beating
Baltimore 5-2. Kansas CKy
whipped Boston 8-2.

i Right-hander Frank Lary gave
up a two-run homer to Yogi Berra
in the first inning, then blanked
the Yankees on four hits until the
ninth, when Mickey Mantle's
homer and Berra's second scored
four runs.
Eddie Yost had three of De
troit's 19 hits and drove in six
runs with two homers, one o
grand slam. That was after Char
lie Maxwell singled home two
runs for a tie in the fifth against
loser Bobby Shantz (0-2) and Gail
Harris then broke the deadlock
with a homer that opened a three-

Santo will join Drace in the high
hurdle event.
The pair earned berths in the
coming state meet at Corvallis off
their performances in last week
end's district meet at Grants
Pass. Drace rolled to victories in
all three of the events that he en
teredthe low and high hurdles
and the high jump while Santo
chalked up a stale meet berth by
grabbing second place honors be
hind Drace in the 120-yard high
hurdle event.
Reports this past week state that
several records are expected to
be broken in the state meet due
to the sparkling performances
which have been turned in this
spring by Oregon's A-l preppers,
the good condition of Bell Field
and the warm, clear weather
which most of the state has been
enjoying. .
Expected to fall are the marks
in the high hurdles, javelin, mile,
100-yard dash and the high jump,
if this past spring's performances
by Oregon's prep athletes are any
kind of a hint to come.
.Drace,- who has turned in his
best times of 15 seconds flat in
the highs and 20.2 in the lows
this year while leaping an even
.six feet in the high jump, has
his work cut out for him this
weekend.
In the highs, Jefferson's Mel
Renfro and Beaverton's Steve
Pauly both have been clocked in
14.1 while Bob Bartlctt of South
Salem has a 14.7 and George
Brown of Washington in Portland
has a 14.9 to post the best times
in the state ahead of Drace.
Santo's best time of the year
is 15.4.
Both Renfro and Springfield's
Gary Brown have turned in 19.8
times in the 180-yard lows, fol
lowed by Pauly's 19.9 and Bart
lett's 20.1 to lead the pack ahead
of Drace's 20.2 time.
Will Brown of Jefferson with a
leap of six feet, three and one
half inches. Bob Eddings of Madi
son of Portland and Crater's John
Burns both have a jump of 6-2 to
place ahead of Drace in the high
jump.

The St. Louis Cardinals finally
have made a move to see how
the other half lives in that Nation

They're still seventh, just five
days free of the cellar and eight
games shy of first place, but the
Redbirds are on their first real
winning streak of the season after
whipping Pittsburgh and winless
Bob friend 11-1 Wednesday night.
It was the Cards' fourth straight
success and they did it on the
six-hit pitching of Wilmer (Vine
gar Bend) Mizcll and the second
successive three-RBI game by
Bill White, who has six hits in
eight trips for two nights.
That put St. Louis within four
games of the first division after
Los Angeles slipped to fourth by
splitting a twi-night double-header
with Cincinnati.. The fifth-place
Reds beat the Dodgers 7-5 after
an opening 8-4 defeat.
The San Francisco Giants re

games, 6-3. Chicago's persistant
Cubs remained in third with a 7-5
decision over the Philadelphia
Phillies.

Stengel Calmly Warns Hurlers
NEW YORK i.Pi-Thc world
champion New York Yankees are
in last place in the American
League.
Sports orilirs are thumbing
through baseball record books to
discover when last the haughty
New Yorkers were in such humble
circumstances at this stage of a
pennant race.
Fans give varied opinions as to!
the causes of the strange situation.
The ideas range from the opinion
that the club has had it. to the
hopeful among its followers sug
gestion that it is just a temporary
slump that got out of hand.
The last time the Yankees were
in the basement at an equivalent
stage of the race was May 25.
1040. The last of the two times
the club finished in Ihe cellar was
in 1912. and the last time it spent
the season in the second division
was in 1925.

Tigers dumped Ihe world cham
pions into the cellar Wednesday
by whomping them 13-6.
Perhaps it is because such a
position is no novelty to the
grizzled skipper. Before he hit the
jackpot with the Yankees he hung
his hat regularly in Ihe second
division. And in 1940, the year the
Yankees were in much the same
situation
they are today, he
also had a club the Boston
Braves in last place as late as
Aug. 30. although he managed to
rally it to linish seventh.
Quietly, and without bitterness,
the man who has won nine pen
nants and seven world champion
ships in nis 10 seasons with the
team discussed its problems.
The nearest he came lo a threat
was the comment: "1 expect those
pitchers of ours realize that they
will have to do better than that
(what they did Wednesday) or.J
they can't stay around."
He had previously pointed to J
lack of timely hitting as the basis i
for the troubles. He reckoned the

That he has confidence the team
is better than its record might in
