Athletics Beat 1 Washington In t 11-lnning Till Jj New York. May 13 (VPt Na J tlonal sentiment for u ball club. , which sometime* can have an actual effect on pennant battles. , wasn't producing results in the i 1947 races today. A* the eastern National league r, teams went west for the first lime and the western American league clubs moved east, the popular choices were having trouble. Pittsburgh. high in the favor ot Na tional league partisans because of new owner Frank McKinney's vigorous efforts to buy a winning team, was In fourth place, 3-* a games out. In the American league the sentimental choices wen- Cleveland, which does have a real chance, and the Athletics, whose unexpected early-seas >n sprint won them new backers but no real hopes of the pennant. Cleveland was third and the A’s seventh. In 1941 the Brooklyn Dodgers ’ became almost a national mania.; and the: "beloved Bums" rode <o a close victory over the Cardinals: in a pennant race in which psychology helped tremendously ' Last year, most fans supported Tom Yawkey's Red Sox as a re : ward for Yawkey’s long fight for a winner, and the Sox coasted in. Philadelphia's Athletics looked ' good last night in defeating Washington. 5 to 1. in II innings, with war hero Phil Marchlldon going the route for a seven hit win ami batting in two runs in the four | run 11th inning. After Marchildon’s single, losing pitcher Rae Scar- . borough walked three straight batters and reliefer Luther Knerr walked another run home. It was I Washington's first night game, and Mrs. Truman, wife of the President, used her gold pass to see the game. In the only other American league game, the Boston Red Sox nipped the New York Yankees. 4 to 3. with a three-run burst in the eighth inning off Spud Chandler George McQiiinn. Yogi Berra and Chandler bad homered to give the Yanks a 3 to 1 lead, but Rudy York led off the eighth with a homer, and Bob Doerr's single, two bunts, a walk. Wally Moses’ pinch single and an out resulted in two more runs. In the National league, Brooklyn I jumped over Boston into second place by dumping the Braves, 8 to 3. on Ralph Branca's seven-hit pitching. Earl Torgeson. with a double and a two-run homer, batted in all Boston's runs Brooklyn got 11 hits off loser Mort Cooper and his successors, and Branca helped himself with two hits and two runs batted in. However, the (lodger joy was tempered by the fact that brittle Pete Reiser, the man who makes | the Dodgers tick and explode, had to leave the game in the sixth , inning because of a sore ankle. It was the only senior loop con-1 ! test.

Thinlydads Pointing For Sectional Meets Indianapolis. May 13. (I’P) A half dozen all-time Indiana high school track sectional records appeared within range of 1947 performers today as they pointed for weekend sectional meets, Despite |>oor weather conditions, six of the 1947 "season bests" were smashed and another tied last week as the best Indiana prep shotputters In history Bill Brewer of Muncie Central and Carl Shields of Hobart took turns setting alltime marks. First th<- smaller but more stylish Brewer heaved the 12-pound Iron ball 54 feet five Inches to erase the all-time standard set April 30th by Shield*. The next day. Shield* was out 54 feet 5-% Inches. Since both are juniors, track fen* were wondering If they might not break the American prep record of 59 feet one inch before they graduate. That fall* Into the future book category, of course, while both Shields and Brewer appear ’’sure bets" to snap the all time sectional mark of 53 feet 6-14 Inches set In 1931 by Don Elser of Gary Mann. I Two other all-time sectional marks held by Gary Mann athlete* also may be headed for discard this weekend Tommy Harmon's 23 flat cloc king in the 2<fl» yard low hurdles and the half mile relay recyrd of 1:32 0. Darwin Winnick cl Muncie Burris has taken the low's in 23 1 and four others have done it in : 23.2 this season. Hammond High ami Gary Tolleston both have been under 1:31 for the 880 relay. Bob Snoddy of Bloomington’ University. if he can keep from hit ting hurdles, could eclipse the :14.8 -sectional best set in 1945 by Anderson’s Bob Devinney. Snoddy has been clocked in :14 9. Don Crowe, the mighty Gary Wallace mite, ran the 440 In an unofficial :50.1 last week in the mile relay and he has an official clocking of :50.4. Max Ramsey of Fort Wayne North set the sectional standard -:49.9 back in 1944. A sixth sectional mark might be- smashed if Hammond High's Jac k Blair is able to compete under full power. He has been out practically all season after broad jumping 23 feet. The best sectional effort is the 23 foot l-’4 mark set by Bob Scott of Froebel in 1931. The other sectional bests seem far out of range of the 1947 performers. Glenn Gray of Indianapolis Tech
