Feller Hurls 19th Win Os Year Monday New York,. Aug. 14—(UP)—One Os the "few honors Bobby Feller hasmlsgied is being named “most valuable player" but the mighty man of the Indians looked today as If he should have leas trouble getting It this year than his ball club will have in winning the pennant. Not that the Indians appeared to be In any trouble on that score at the moment, either. For. behind the incomparable lowa plowboy last night they won their 11th straight garne.rL’ to 1. over the Tigers and took a 2ft game tne hold over the Yankees, who looked pretty frightful in a 16 to 8 defeat at Philadelphia. .It was the 19th victory for Feller against only four defeats and it was achieved before, a big gathering of loyal townsmen who came <j)ut to honor him as the “best pitcher of his* time.” Disdaining the jinx that is almost inevitable i for players who are honored with special “days’," Feller pitched one hit 'ball for the first four innings against the club he had hitted" on July He gave up only seven hits and had a shutout, until the eighth. ' Al Rosen started Feller toward victory with his 20th homer of the' season in the fourth inning ands Feller himself helped things along in the f|fth when he got the only hit in a rally that produced the second run on an error, his single, a fielder’s choice that loaded the bases, and Bobby Avila’s scoring fly. It was the 14th victory' in 15 games with the Tigers this j year, who more than any other club have put the Indians up front. Things were dismal for the Yankees who suffered their third straight defeat against the seventh place Athletics. Philadelphia made 18 hits, giving them a total of 46.f0r the three games. Most humiliating of all was their treatment of- Yankee ace Vic Rase hi. OiFen a 4-0 lead in the second inning,, he promptly blew sky-high, flipping three wild pitches as the A’s batted him out with three* tallies. They went on to hand ‘lefty Joe Ostrowski the defeat with three more rtjns in the fourth. On top of that they had rallies of two in the fifth, three in the sixth? and five In the seventh; Eddie Joost, who, made three hits, brought his total for the three games to 10. Elmer Vaio and Joe Tipton got four hits apiece. Joe

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR, INDIANA

O-- -o \| Today's Sport Parade I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By Oscar Fraley ' New York. Aug. 14.—(UP) — The Babe mhkes another big pitch for the kids on -Thursday and. three years after his death, it may be his best and |>iggest. Actually it follows the design of his being, a pattern which per petuates the memory of baseball's most immortal hero. George Herman Ruth was a sucker for kids. He knew about them from a background earned at St. Mary’s orphanage in Baltimore when he was a youngster. There could have been times In a rollicking career when the bellowing, blustering, raucous Babe might have forgotten them. But he didn't. Never was Babe too busy to visit a sick youngster. Rashly he’d promise them a home run. Like the time he called his shot in the world series with the Cubs, the Babe, simply delivered. ' ’ \, \- There weren’t names, or even favorites. They were just kids. The next day the Babe probably couldn’t have told you their names. There was the time, at the height of his career, when he visited a sick boy andMt isn’t fantasy—gkve the kid the will to fißht through. Some time later the father visited the Babe and told hhn that “Johnny sends his best.” The Babe beamed, shook hands and. .as he walked away with & friend, muttered: “I wonder who Johnny is?” ' Babe was roaring through life with the throttle wide open. The joy and the will to live which he gave to the youngsters was just a recess from the roar of the crowd. But when the roars subsided, the kids took over. Increasingly they became the thing which kept the Babe in there swinging. He was a sick man in the spring of 1947, a man with a little more than a year to live. He spoke in a hoarse whisper. His clothes hung on him like the rags wrapped around a scarecrow in a cornfield. But the Babe drajgged himself back into the public eye\as director fff the American Legipn junior baseball program. He flew 50.000 miles talking (o kids in 17 cities. “J’m getting pretty old.” be said, “and I want to do what I can for the kids.” * He didn’t add “before I die,” but that’s what he meant. Sixteen months later, three years ago Thursday, the Babe died. But he’s still in there swinging in spirit through the Babe Ruth foundation.'which last spring gave sportsmanship awards to 4.000 high school seniors, supports such institutions as Children’s Village in work for underprivileged children and provides funds to the American Cancer Society to fight the disease which killed the Babe. A giant memorial program will be staged Thursday and contributions may be sent to Babe* Ruth, (Pox 3, Madispn Square station\ New York 10, N.Y. It’s one way you can help the Babe, to help the kMs. By law, the governors of 16 states are not permitted <to serve two cohnecutive terms.
