Indians Edge Browns In 19 Inning Battle By UNITED PRESS I What a night it was in the majors: | A 19-inning victory for the Indians over the Browns, 4 to 3, as Satchel Paige finally met his match in the third marathon relief job he has been involved in ini less than a month. A fist fight in Boston between Earl Torgeson of the'Braves and Sal Yvars of the Giants. And a proud new entry in the record books for a great competitor, Enos Slaughter of the Cardinals, who drove in his I,oooth run in an 8 to 3 victory over the v ßeds at St. Louis. (- Paige, w'ho pitched 10 shutout innipgs against the Indians, had victory over Cleveland reliever Lon Brissie within his grasp when' he finally*-wore out in the bottom of the 19th and yileded two runs on,a single by Bobby Avila, a double by Al Rosen, and a pinch-sin-gle by Hank Majeskl. Just before, Brissie had yielded a run that put St. Louis ahead, 3 to 2, on a walk to Dick Kryhoski, a sacrifice by Bob Nieman, and a single by Jim Delsing. The game just missed being a curfew-halted tie by one minute. The 18th inning wound ujp at 12:49 a.m. The new major league rules prohibit any inning starting in a night game after 12:50 a.m. The Browns sent the game into extra innings when they tied the score off starter Bob Feller in the ninth on a pinch-single by Gene Beardeni a sacrifice and Jim Rivera’s single. Brissie gave up six hits as he worked froi£i .the 10th to the finish, while Paige yielded eight hits from the ninth on. The 19-inning marathon tied the record for length for an extra-inning major league game. Paige June 20 pitched scoreless ball for nine, innings in a curfew called 5 to 5 tie with Washington and-on June 3, also against the Nats, pitched six scoreless innings ito gain a 3 to 2 victory in 17 innings. , lAt Boston, as the Gants .made it three straight over the Bfaves. 6 to 3, Torgeson flattened Yvars in a, dugout brawl in w’hich the Giant catcher got a three-stitch cut over his eye. The argument developed when Yvars broke Torgeson's bat after complaining the Braves’ first baseman stood too deep in the batter's box at the plate. Slaughter, who despite his 36 years is having one of his greatest seasons, went past the 1,000 RBI mark when he drove in five tallies w|th two homers. He joined Bob Elliott of the Giants as the only other active National leaguer who has hit that magic level. His total now is 1.001. T|ie Dodgers stayed 3% games

Rolfe On Way Out As Tiger Manager DETROIT, UP — Red Rolfe was faced with the grim realization today that he is walking the last mile as the manager of the Detroit Tigers. “That’s the way baseball is," the former New York Yankee great said. “They hire a manager to win games. If you don’t win, they go out and find somebody who can.” ( ; Unless Tiger owner Walter O. Spike Briggs backs down, Rolfe is scheduled to depart Saturday as boss of the Detroit team. Briggs said he would recommend at a hoard of directors meeting before the Detroit-St. Louis night game at Briggs Stadium Saturday that Rolfe and coach. Dick Bartell be dismissed. The statement came as unnecessary punishment for Rolfe, who has suffered through weary\ weeks with the Tigers since the start of the season, his team \fl°undering\ in last place since the opening dayi Now, Rolfe is cast in the role of a; condemned man, merely biding time until his dismissal is made official. There is one faint chance that Rolfe will receive a stay of execution, blit that require that the Tigers win every game from now’ until the directors’ meeting —-• and to date, Detroit’s longest winning streak has been two games. It was quiet enough to hear a pin drop in the pettroit dpgout befort Tuesday’s Detroit - Chicago game. Reports of Rolfe’s pending'" dismissal had reached Tiger players who sijx weeks ago gave the manager a vote of confidence in a surprise move. The players went on to. give Rolfe, ttje American league’s manager ofj'th'e year in 1950, a chance to smile fcjr a while, at by halting the White Sox, 6 to 4.
