For bullet hall Bobby, the lowa plowhoy who became baseball's greatest gate attraction since Babe Ruth, seems to be coming to the end of the trail with the Cleveland Indians. In an irony seldom equalled in baseball, the oncemighty Feller has become more of a hindrance than a help to the Indians In the year they needed him most of all. Picture, for example, where the Indians would he today if Feller even had come up to his 1947 showing which was by no means his best. I-Ist year, at this time, he had 14 victories and eight defeats as against his 11 wins and 13 losses this year. Yesterday Feller was batted out of the box for the 17th time this season, suffering his 13th defeat. 7 to 3 at Detroit. Pat Mullin's three-run homer in a four-run fifth was the blow that ruined him although he was tagged for eight hits in all. Johnny Lipon also hit a Tiger homer. Ted Gray, making his second start of the year, was brilliant, giving up only four hits and striking out 10. The never-quit Athletics again moved Into a virtual tie for the lead, six percentage points behind the Indians when they divided a double header with Washington, dropping the opener, 8 to 2. then coming back to win the second game. 11 to 2 on Bill McCahan's five-hitter in which the only productive blows were homers by Ed Stewart and Al Evans. McCahan also batted in five runs, three on a base-clearing double. Ray Scar borough pitched eight hit ball to win the first game as Joe Coleman's defense collapsed and the Nats scored five unearned runs. The Red Sox made the oncemighty Yankees look pretty sad in beating them. 9 to 6 at New York and moving ahuad of them in third place. Yankee pitchers gave up 11 wals. four in thke first inning when Boston got three runs, and three more In the eighth when the visitors came fro mitehind to score five ruhs and send the fans home muttering Vern Stephens and Dom DiMaggio hit two run singles in the winning inning. In the big "what's the use’’ series at St. Louis, the Intrepid seventh place Browns again topped the last place White Sox. 3 to 1 as Cliff Fannin pitched five hit ball to win his eighth game He held the sad Sockeni to one pi]jFi|| YOUR EVENING OUTMay be the burglar's evening iw.
