A's Massacre Yankees Under ! ’-- r j; ISToI Score New York, Aug. 20.—(UP)— ' Pitchers, who have been holding the' Indians up and letting the Yankees down, definitely were the key men today as the breathless American league pennant race entered its most critical phase. . It the Yankbes are forced to operate without ace but ailing right handers Allie Reynolds and Tom Morgan on the 15-game western road trip whch they begin tonight with a double header in Detroit, they wUI have to forget about winning the pennant. That fact was clearly shown in the frightful 15 to 1 ( shellacking given the world champs by the spunky seventh place Athletics at * time wsen the Indians 1 -Were winning, 4 te 0, then losing, *7 to 6, to the White Sox in Chi--ogo. Manager Casey Stengel freely acknowledged that he had to let Abe apparently washed-up Frank Shea stay in for gn 11-run pounding in innings because he had no capable replacement available except lefty Bob Kuzava. The Athletids put on their biggest single inning spree of the year- against the Yankees with pine runs in the seventh and two more on Joe Astroth’s first homer 9* he year in the eighth. The Yankees looked like “little leaguers” in those twd frames and rt’s not exactly fair, to the 8 12 year old kids and unless Morgan and Reynold? recover, there can well be some more such drubbings. ' The Indians, who open a long home stand tonight againsX Washington, got more of the same fine pitching that marked their recent IS-game winning streak when Early Wynn pitched a seven-hit first game shuttout over the White Sox. Cleveland made three runs to sew it up in the second, with doubles by Ike Boone and Wynn the big blows. Sam Chapman later contributed a homer. But in the second game, hitting was the trade mark and the White Sox had thei most timely wallops, clinching the game with a five run' rally in the seventh. The Indians rebounded wltji five runs In the eighth, two on a homer, by Luke Easter, but wound up one short of a tie. Al Zarilla homered for the White Sox. The Red Sox, moving up quietly, closed to within 3Vi games of the top by defeating the Senators, 8 to 3, putting over five runs In the first inning, then coasting home as Ray Scarborough pitched five innings of one-hit relief ball for his 7 10th victory. Ted W’illiams hit his 26th homer to take the lea<jl in the American. The Tigers twice topped the Browns, 5 to 2 and 6 to 2, as lefty Gene Bearden beat ace Ned Garver in the opener, and Bob Cain won the second game over

Veeck Stages Hilarious Show For Browns'Fans

St. Louis, Aug. 20 —(UP) —What next, Bill Veeck? After pulling a midget out of a birthday cake to pinch-hit, shooting off aerial bombs, organizing an eight-piece band out' of his players, and putting acrobats on all the bases, there wasn’t much left for the new St. Louis Browns* owner to surprise folks with today. The curly-haired. Veeck did all that, and then some, yesterday in a weird; laugh-jammed celebration of the American league’s 50th anniversary. Things got so hilarious that the largest Sportsmans park Crowd of the season — 18,396 fans — hardly minded that the Browns lost both games of a doubleheader to the Tigers, 5 to 2, and 6 to 2. While the aerial bombs exploded at regular intervals between the games, the eight-piece band played at home plate, a hand-balancer performed at first base. Trampoline artists leaped through their act at second and a juggler worked at third, and old-fashioned cars and cycles were paraded. Max Patkin. the comedian-contortionist-coach, staged a jitter-bug dance. A huge, seven-foot birthday cake was carried onto the field as the band played “happy birthday.”< out of the cake popped a three footseven inch midget decked out in a Browns’ uniform with the fraction on his back. He was introduced as the last of the real “Brownies” and presented to manager Zack Taylor. ; J Taylor made immediate use of the midget, sending him up to the plate as a pinch-hitter for lead-off man Frank Saucier in the first inning of the second game. As he strutted up to the plate swinging, tjiree midget-sized bats, umpires Ed Hurley and Art Passarella immediately challenged Taylor’s right

to use the midget as a pinch-hitter. Zack reached down jn his pocket and came up with an official American league contract and a scorecard that, carried the midget’s name —Eddie Gaedel—and fraction on the Browns’ roster. He had given; the 27-ypar-old midget one of the club’s four player vacancies. The umpires decided ,everything was official and let the. midget bat. Bob Caln, the Detroit pitcher, Was flabbergasted, but he was ordered to pitch to the latest addition to the Browns. He. tried to get a pitch in the strike zone, but he cduldn’t pitch that low. So he walked the pinch-hitter on four pitches. The Browns eventually loaded the bases in the inning, but failed to score. • Scoring was the one thing Veeck couldn’t pull out of the hat., V NINE PERSONS (Coatta—a Fiw Page Ow> cense. I* T .
