Bill Dietrich Blanks Yankees In 11 innings New York, July 24. —(UP) —It was simply a well-pitched 1 to 0 Ylptory In 11 innings over the Yankees but it gave Blinky Bill Dietrich of the Chicago White Sox as big a thrill as the no-hit, no-run game he twirled back in 1937. It was a victory of vindication tar the 35-year-old right-hander, who has been beaten 19 times by tba Yankees during his long American league career. And it couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. The bombers were dropped into the second division for the first time since mid-June of last season while Manager Joe McCarthy remained away from the club, contemplating his resignation. Moreover, it put the Chi-Sockers into the Intensifying threat of*the pennant race in third place, just a game and a half behind the slumping Senators and four games behind the pace-setting but tottering Tigers. Yesterday’s victory, a seven-hit-ter for the bespectacled Dietrich, was a far cry from his no-hitter of eight years ago against the JJruwns. But for a pitcher who led the league in defeats last year with 17, it represented a fine recovery, giving him his fifth win against three losses in the current campaign. The White Sox won when Qris Hockett hit a scratch single t» send home Johnny Dickshot. Also helping to "button up” the race were Louis (Bobo) Newsom, the “turnabout” pitcher of the A’s. and unsung Ed Klieman of the Indians, who knocked off the leading Tigers and the runner-up Senators in night games. Newsom, who has won four straight games after dropping 12 in a row, topped the Tigers with a 1-0 four-hit job. On top of that he drove in the only run of the game with a single off Frank Overmire to bring home George Kell, who had doubled. In his four winning efforts he has given up just 14 hits. Klieman also pitched and batted his way to victory, beating the Senators at Washington, 2 to 1. He doubled home Frankie Hayes with the first run in the fifth and Hayes followed up by singling in Jeff He#th in the sixth. He yielded only five hits while John Niggeling

It was the fourth victory in a row for the Burs and the sixth In their lust seven. Tommy Holmes, holder of the new National league consecutive games batting mark, dropped out of the lead as top hitter in the majors after going hitless in Hfe fourth straight game. He now has been at bat 18 straight times without a hit. Walter (Boom Boom) Beck gained the victory in a relief role, his second straight since joining the Pirates. There were no other games in either league.

Durocher, Stengel Mentioned For Job New York, July 24—(UP)—The best managerial Job in baseball— Joe McCarthy’s post with the New York Yankees—was open for bid today, with Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Casey Stengel of the Kansas City Blues among the most frequently-mentioned candidates. The names of pitcher Charley Ruffing of the Yankees and catcher Bill Dickey of the U. S. navy and the Yanks also were discussed. That McCarthy’s job will bf open no later than the end of this season seemed certain. The 58-year-old Irishman went to his farm near Buffalo, N. Y„ today and said that after a rest there perhaps he would feel well enough to continue managing the Yanks for the rest of the season. Yankee president Harry MacPhail disclosed yesterday that McCarthy had resigned, pleading that he could not eat or sleep because of worry over his team, which now is in fifth place. McCarthy was asked to reconsider, but it is believed that at best he would only finish this season. Durocher, scrappy Dodger pilot, was the natural suggestion as replacement, since he is a “MacPhail man.” It was MacPhail who made “Lippy Leo” manager at Brooklyn, and Durocher’e flamboyant personality suits the showman in MaePhail. who wants a colorful club that will draw the crowds. However, the matter of salary may stand in the way. It was believed that Durocher could not command anywhere near the $35,000 per year paid to McCarthy. Stengel is as colorful and scrappy as Durocher, and already is in the Yankee system, since Kansas City is a Yankee farm team. He is a veteran manager, having handled Brooklyn and Boston teams in the National league, and is regarded as a shrewd baseball man. ———————o Moose Scores Win In Softball League The Moose, scoring once in each of the sixth and seventh innings, nosed out McMillen, 3 to 2, in a City softball league game Monday ifigh’t at Worthman field.
