Tigers, Yanks Score Double Wins Sunday New York, June 25. —(UP) — Yankee fans were willing' today to forget about Arthur (Bud) Metheny’s disappointing past if he will just break loose a few more times like he did in Sunday's double victory over the Athletics. Metheny. an anemic hitter ever since lie came up from Newark in 1943 hailed as a second Charley Keller, was the busiest batter in the lot yesterday in the 13 to 5 and Bto 3 Yankee victories. He batted in eight runs in the two games with his first two homers of the Season, a double and single, and boosted his batting average it! pointe from .222 to .238. Previously. he had batted in only 13 runs and had shown little promise of improvement. The two wins, vital because Detroit also swept its twin bill at St. Louis, left the Yankees a game and a half behind the leading Tigers. Hank Borowy won his ninth game in the opener as Bobo Newsom was losing his 10th for the A’s. Hal Newhouser kept ahead of his 1944 pitching time table by winning his 11th game. 5 to 1. for the I Tigers in the opener. Paul (Dizzv) Trout won the second, 4 to 3, it. a three-inning relief stint. Rookie stars Dave Ferris of the Red Sox ami Marino Pieretti of the Senators won their games at Washington. Ferris gained his loth triumph for Boston, 6 to 5, in the opener and Pieretti won his seventh for Washington, 5 to 2, in the Second game to split the bill. Eddie Lake's three-run Boston homer provided the margin in the opener. Steve Gromek won his eighth game for the Indians, 7 to 3, over the White Sox at Cleveland, but Chicago put on a eeven-run rally in the third to win the second game, 7 to 4. Brooklyn maintained its three and a half game lead in the National, winning its eighth straight game, 9 to 6, from the Braves before the streak ended with a 3 to 1 Boston victory in the second game. Vic Lombardi, getting 12hit support, breezed to his fifth victory in the opener. The Giants were the only National League team to show a profit for the day, winning both of their games at Philadelphia, 7 to 6 and 5 to 1. Joe Bowman, waiver-priced pitcher from the Red Sox, won his fif'h Straight game since joining the Reds, beating Pittsburgh, 4 to 3, In the second game after the Pirates took the opener, 7to 5. Manager Bill McKechnie of the Reds started Elmer Riddle for the first time since May, 1944, in the opener and wildness kept the one-time star right hander from being effective. '

Indianapolis Clings To Association Lead By United Press The Indians clung to first place in American association standings today by a 'margin of only one game after a week end of bad luck. They lost one game and were rained out of a scheduled doubleheader. In an upset game at Minneapolis Saturday, the Millers trounced Indianapolis, 8 to 6. The two games with the cellar champ blues yesterday at Kansas City were called because of rain, Louisville and Milwaukee held their own by splitting a doubleheader yesterday. That left the Colonels only one game from a tie with the Indians, while Milwaukee was stuck on the third rung of the ladder. Scores for the twin bill, played at Milwaukee, were 2 to 1 and 2 t.) 6. The second game, won by Milwaukee, was called at the end of the fifth inning because of rain. The Mudhens and the Saints also split a doubleheader at St. Paul yesterday, 6 to 9, and 4 to 1. St. Paul won the finst game despite weak fielding. Pitching by both teams was sloppy. The Saints had lost to Louisville Saturday, 9 to 2, while Toledo had snowballed the Brewers, 10 to 5, it) an upset. Despite wobbly pitching in-the first game, Minneapolis easily took both gamee of a doubleheader witli Columbus at Minneapolis. The Millers could not be stopped in the second game, despite loose fielding. They scored four runs in the first inning and five in the third.

Fred Fruchte in Adams circuit court last Saturday, to make payment or go to the state penal farm.

The court suspended a I's day jail sentence and placed Kaehr under probation of officer C. H. Muselman. The court informed Kaehr that if

O ————— ■— ~ v Today's Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY Reg. U. s. Pat. Off.) o ; 0 New York. June 25.—-(UP)—As metropolitan racing shifted from Belmont Park to Aqueduct today, it became apparent that (1) Pavot is a strong challenger for the three-year-old championship. (2) little Eddie Arcaro certainly is one of the greatest jockeys oi all time, and (3) the public is betting heavier than ever on the Gee-Gees. Pavot, king of last year’s two-year-olds, entered his bid for another crown Saturday by winning impressively the Belmont stakes. Walter M. Jeffors’ chunky brown colt not only beat out seven other good three-year-olds, but he did it over the English derby distance of a mile and a half, disclosing his staying power.' There was nothing startling about his time of 2:30 1/5 on a fast track; but jockey Arcaro explained that the clocking would have been better if he had not ridden Pavot under restraint until the far turn. Arcaro, who never before had piloted the son of Case Ace in a race, explained: “I didn’t dare turn him loose because 1 didn’t know how far he could go—or how he would have left in that tough last quarter of the mile-and-a-half „-3fno.i Jinq-n Arcaro’a uncertainty about Pavot was heightened by the fact that though the Jeffords’ colt was unbeaten in eight straight juvenile races in 1944. he had been the biggest disappointment of the current season. He had lost to Polynesian in the Withers, and was badly beaten by and three others in the Preakness. But under Arcaro’s masterly handling, Pavot certainly came into his own on Saturday. He finished about six lengths ahead of Joseph M. Roebling’s Wild Life, and about eight lengths ahead of Col. C. V. Whitney's Jeep, the 6-5 favorite. It io true that neither the injured Hoop Jr., Kentucky .derby winner, nor the ineligible Polynesian, Preakness victor, competed in the Belmont. But it is extremely doubtful if either of those winners of shorter classics could have challenged Pavot at a mile and a half Saturday. He took the distance like “the best horse in training,” according to many experts. While considering distance, it should be noted that J. K. Houssel’s Bymeabond —which register ’d a surprise victory Saturday in the Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita, Calif.—was required to run only a

mile and a furlong. When Pavot romped home in the Belmont stakes, it marked the third time that Arcaro had ridden a winner in that event. He had won it on Whirlaway in '4l, and on Shut Out in ’42. Moreover, Saturday’s triumph was the little Italian’s fourth straight victory this season in a major stake race. He already had won a section of the Wood memorial on Hoop Jr„ the Kentucky derby (for the third time) on Hoop Jr., and the suburban on Devil Diver. His three triumphs in the derby enabled him to equal the feat of Earl Sande and Isaac Murphy. And each passing week adds more proof thaat Arcaro certainly must be ranked as one of the greatest riders of all
