'Blackwell Is ■ r ' = >' Latest To Hurl! i One-Hit Game | New York. May 16 —(UP)~ Good bet for the 1951 season is that I there will be at'least one /nore no- [ hitter 1 and, if the odds are right I pick Ewell Blackwell of the Cfn- ! c.innati Reds to toss it. \ The low-hit .ball games are pop-., 'ping up frequently this spring and the talj\and terrific Blackwell was the latest to score a “near-miss’’ when he one-hitted the Boston Braves, 1 to 0 last night as Vern Bickford gave up only two\ hits in defeat. The Cincy fans had a teeming ' anticipation for a while of a double I no-hit battle since neither ace gave up a safe blow until . Bob EL liott, an old spoiler, nicked Blackwell for a fifth Inning double. Bickford preserved his no-hitter until the sixth when Connie Ryan doubled, but in the seventh, Blackwell's battery-mate. John Pramesa hit a homer and that was the whole stdry. \ \ Blackwell, in winning his fifth straight .game, struck out five and each of the three men he walked was nailed in a double play. Bickford struck out four an<V walked only one. I , The one-hit effort hy Blackie was the latest superlative effort Jn a low-hit season. Cliff Chambers of the Pirates already has pitched n no-hit, no-run game- iOne-hittcrs have been turned in by Sal Maglie of the Giants, and Connie Marrero, of the Senators, and Joe Dobson of the White Sox. —Bic,kford, like. Blackie, would be a good man tq pick for a no-lut job since he tuirned in only one o f 1960 and had a two-hit victory tins year before last night’s heart-break defeat, plackwell, who had a nohitter in 1947. also had two onehitters last season. In other National league games yesterday Brooklyn topped Chicago, 8 to 4; the Phillies edged the Cardinals, 5 to 4, and Pittsburgh dedeated the Giants, 7 to 3. In the American league, the Tigers downed Washington. 12 to 4; Chicago Grounded Boston, 9 to 7 in 11 im nings; and the Browns won from the Athletic. 11 to 8. The Dodgers improved their lead to-a full game over the Braves by throwing their home-run punch into action. A grand slam homer by Duke Snider was the key blow. Pinch-hitting expert ,ABill Nicholson drove in two runs in the ninth inning with a single to give the Phillies their victory at St- Louis i George Strickland came out of a hitting slump to drive in five runs with two homers and a single as the Pirates won without difficulty fnmi the Giants. Detroit, ginning its seventh game in the last eight, also ended the magic \spell of Washington’s Cuban pitchers, who had won eight games without defeat before Sandy Consuegra was rapped roughly;' last night. Sc \ A two-run homer by Nelson Fox, first of his big league career, gave Chicago .its 'victory in Boston. The Browns put over five runs in the third to go ahead for good. A triple by Roy Sievers and a homer by Don Lenhardt were key blows. Gus Zernlal, with two bom--ers, and Ferris Fain with a double and two singles kept up their hot hitting for Philadelphia. The Yankees and Indians were off. J , b SENATORS (Continue* From Page One) sequent dischargL Wiley said. Asked why he didn’t press the matter with Marshall when the secretary refused to answer the same question asked Bradley, Wiley replied: “I was in a hurry to catch the one o’clock train fpr New York.” Wiley said his failure to press the point then (fid not establish a precedent.\
