Today's Sport Parade I (Reg. U. S. Pat Off.) | By Oscar Fraley I • o *— New York, Aug. 13.—(UP)— Orestes (Minnie) Mtnoso of the Chicago White Sox was out in front today in this race for rookie of the year honors "but there were plenty of freshman finds to rouna out a rookie team which could cause plenty of trouble in the major leagues. \ j Baseball impatiently has been looking for the rookies to arrive tevef since the war and, despite new draft complications, the youngsters are beginning to shov in large numbersr As an all-rookie team for 1951, here’s a tentative lineup: Pitchers. Tom Morgan, Yankees. Joe Presko of the Cards and George Spencer, Giants; catcher, Ebba St. Claire, Braves; first base. Chuck Connors. Cubs; second base, Gil McDougald, Yanks; shortstop, Pete Runnels. Washington; third base. Ransom Jack-. son,#Cubs, and, outfielders, Mino-' so, Jim Busby of the White Sod and Willie Mays. Giants. There are a lot more, but those, at the'moment, appear in this dug out to be the standouts. Minoso Is'the standout as American league batting leader with 1 .345 average. The 27-year-old Cuban also paces the circuit ( in runs and triples.. Runnels,' a 23j ear-old Texan, has the second highest mark; .314, has shown I class with his six foot frame on defense. ' \ Third in the batting list is McDougald, the 23-year-old San Franciscan who leads the Yankee hitters with a .306 mark. His stance *s daffy but he can hit—and field Busby, another Texan, is walloping the bail at a .299 clip. The 24- six foot one Inch gardner also is leading the American league in stolen bases, y Rounding out the rookie outfield. Mays has been sensational wit’i his hoitafe run bat, only 73 games. . The 21-year-old Alabaman is hitting consistently too, with a .291 average. After Ttwice failing with Brooklyn, the six-foot, five-inch Connors has made the grade with the Cubs A long ball hitter and the oldest' rookie at 28, Connors is batting 290. St. Claire, the 27-year-old ham handed catcher for the Braves, and Jackson, the third base rock from Little Rock, both are hitting .279. St. Claire handles his 215 pounds behind the plate with real agility and the 25-year-old Jackson has plenty of power in his six foot, two inch frame, as attested by 13 homers. 1 \ Pitching standout among the rookies is Morgan, the lanky, 21-year-old right hander from El Centro. Calif. The six-foot, two inch slinger who moves in slow motion has an eight wxm, one lost record. The tiny, 22-year-old Presko has looked better than his 7-4 record Indicates. Rounding out the three-man pitching Corps, the 25- Spencer has a sox won, three lost record. A 200-pound six footer from Columbus, 0., Spencer has been hurt by Giant slutaps. Overall, those three pitchers have a 21-8 mark. At the plate, this rookie team is averaging .300. That’s sweet hitting when you consider that the Brooklyn Dodg-

Yankees lose Double Header To Athletics ■ New York, Aug. 13.—(UP)— Could the Yankees, Victim* at fast of some miserable bad luck, fold up as the White Sox did before jhem because of losing a game they almost certainly had won? That was what was worrying Casey Stengel, the bqss man today, even more than the fact that the sudden combination of circumstances put the roarling Cleveland Indians a game-and-a-half in front, although they were in a first place deadlock with the Yankees before yesterday. ~ The Yankees looked like anything but champions in the 9 to 5 and 7 to 4 defeats they suffered ’ r agalnst seventh place Philadelphia, even though they put ovpr five runs in the second game—enough to win 4 —. which were wiped off the books ‘because of the Pennsylvania state curfew law. * Cleveland, meanwhile, looked as if about ready to announce his world series pitching plans, as it swept i to its 10th straight victory, 7 to 1, over those deflated White Sox. Mike (Big Bear) Garcia won his . 16th pame, a tight four-hitter. That the Yankees merely were getting a kick i|rpm the same American league rule that forbade the White Sox ,a victory at New 'Vork on July 27 was small consolation. In that game, rain wiped out the final inning before ti\e (Yankees could bat and the three

runs which would hate given Chi-1 cago the victory went for naught. J It was significant that the White Sox„ then only 3 H games out of the lead, collapsed and now are I almost hopelessly 10 games behind. • The loss of a game which apparently . was won cannot be dis-1 missed lightly, particularly when the opposition is a seventh place club. However, the A’s won their >ener without taint, batting out > rookie Tom Morgan, who had won eight in a row, and going on to run up 17 hits. Eddie Joost, who paced the A’s all the way, made four hits in the opener and three in the second game. Garcia was nobly supported by Larry Doby, Ray Boone, and Bob Avila who belted home runs as the Indians made it 37 victories in the last 45 games. Garcia now has won 10 out of his last 11 games. In other American league games, the Red Sox twice topped the Senators, 6 to 2, as both Ray Scarborough and Bill Wight pitched eight-hit games, while the Tigers downed the; {Browns, 2 to 1, on Toot Evers’ game-winning single in the last of thri ninth. Brooklyn’s great negro battery was the whole shoW4n a 7 to 2 triumph over tbe Braves in which Don Newcombe pitched eight-hit ball tor his 16th victory and catcher Roy Campanella drove in five runs with his 23rd and 24th homers. The Giants won well-pitched 3 to 2 and 2 to 1 decisions from the Phillies behind Sal Maglie and rookie Al Corwin while the Cardinals edged the Reds, 4 to 3, and the Pirates and Cubs traded shutouts. Murry Dickson shut out Chicago 1 to 0, for his 16th victory in j the opened, while Paul Minner retaliated with a 6 to 0 victory forthe Cubs |in the second game. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
