Bobby Shantz Pitches 20th Win Os Season SHANTZ PHILADELPHIA, UP — Num her 20 was the hardest; The little fellow said so himself, and who is better to judge? Bitsy Bobby Shanty, the first major league pitcher of the year to ■win 20 games, sprawfed on his stool in the dressing room' and looked back at Tuesday night’s 5-3 conquest of the Boston Red Sox. i It was the first tiffi? he faced the l Red Sox this season, and in winning his sixth victory in a row he completed the cycle of, beating eyety American league team this year. ; ' ' ' •' He took stock of two hours and 29 of ball, with a rain delay of one hour ,and 11 minutes in the first! inping, and decked that it w*as the Jack of his knuckler which gave < him hi® bad moments as he pitched his 21st complete game in 23 starts. He’s lost three gahies. _ ' y “I didn’t have a good knuckler all night,” the 130-pound mound magician said. "I couldn’t get it over the plate, and boy, that made it rough.” ~ , “This was the one I was worry-

ing about, too,” Bobby said, dwarfed by big Bobo Newsom, who was explaining to everyone within earshot that Shantz was just as “mahv’luss” a pitcher anyone ever saw. “I don’t know, I was sure worrying J over this one, and it was the hardest,” the tiny one repeated. ‘‘l worry about them all, but this was the one that 1 ,wanted.” ; rlt was pretty darn hot out there,,hotter than you think,” the Jittle lefty bit in the eighth, but in the ninth I felt srong again and had m| fast one. At least, I .figured that I had enough to get by the ninth.” Bobby was reminded that he 'was in trouble in the seventh when the Red Sox put the first two men on, and long range slugger Clyde Vollmer was up. ' “Nd, I felt all right then. But in the eighth I seemed to get tised. Then I felt okay in the ninth again/’ Bobby explained. 6,000 Entries Are Expected At Fair | INDIANAPOLiS, (UP) — Si x thousand entries are expected for ItOb.OOO in premiums to be offered at the 1952 Indiana centennial state fair.

Giants Battle Back To Down Dodgers- 7-6 By UNITED PRESS The astonishing New York Giants, who wrote the “little miracle” in 1951, appeared fully ready today to battle the Dodgers down the National League stretch run and add a “big miracle” as a spectacular post-script to one of thb most heart-warming stories in sports history. They proved that Tuesday night when they came from behind four times to defeat the Dodgers 7 to 6, in a gruelling, spectacular fivehour struggle which opened their = make-or-break series with the ■ league-leaders. \ ' | Shocked when Gil Hodges exgloded a grand-slam homer to put rooklyn in front 4 to 0, they battled back to tie the score and send the game into extra innings. The Dodgers surged ahead in the 14th on a homer by Andy Pafko but Bob Elliott pinch-hit a homer with two out in the bottom of the 14th io tie it again. With ths New York curfew law proclaiming the 15th to be the last inning, the Dodgers again went ahead when they pushed over a run. Bobby Hofmann doubled with out. Henry Thompson filed out and the Giants had one out left to them. Rookie Jim Rhodes hit a routine grounder to Jackie Robinsoh but the second-baseman muffed h. - The Giants had life. Bobby Thomson, the hero of ’sl, then tied the score with a single. Don Mueller, next up, hit. a chopper over the mound and beat it out for a single, as Rhodes scored all the way from second base with,the winning run. The Dodgers still led the NL by sx/i5 x /i games but what is that tb a team that was 13% games behind at about this tijne a year ago? It appears to be a lot on paper but the Dodgers know it is a slender maigin as 16ng the Giants have that one out left to them. Except for those Giants, little Bobby Shantz would occupy center Hage alone today. For the 142pound southpaw stylist became the major leagues l first 20-game winner of the season when’’ he beat the Red Sox 5 tb 3, for the Athletics in a rain-soaked game Tuesday night. Shantz, who now has beaten every team in the AL at least png§ t struck out four and limited 1 th? Red Sox to sever? hits. In other American League games, the Yankees beat the Senators 3 to 2, the’ Browns downed the Tigers 5 to 1. and the beat the White Sox 6 to.O in theiir opener only to drop the nightcap, 6 ot 3. i In the National League, the Cardinals beat the Pirates 4 tor 3 in 12 innings L and the Reds defeated the Cubs 4 to 0. Philadelphia arid Boston were rained out. Bob Cain’s seven-hitter and Bobby Young’s two singles with the bases filled enabled the Browns to top the Tigers. Bob Lemon pitqped a four-hitter for Cleveland in the opener for his 13th victory but \the White Sox routed Mike Garcia in the nightcap. Saul Rogovin won his 10th game. Ken Raffen’sberger pitched his second straight and his fourth qf. the year as the Reds shut out the Cubs and DeL Rice’s fly with the bases filled and one out in the 12th gave the Cardinals their margin of over the Pirates.

I Today's Sport Parade I | (R6<. U. 8. Fat. OU.) j t By Oscar Fraley ' | 0 HELSINKI, (UP) — athletes waiting to fly home from the Olympic games took a turn at Finnish basehall today and the general agreement was that Yankee,- Stadium was never like this. Two deductions may be drawn by anyone Wjho watches “Pesapallo,” as the g a m e is known to the sluggers of Suomi. 1. It will never replace fire house pinochle. \ 2. Pitchers like Allie Reynolds and company would need upem plpymejat relief if they lived in CfnJ»nd M , ... , • i , >• ' ‘■BWaus# tlrt* WWfifsh -gaifte is based on a theory of all .’hits —alb runs and in general is regai-(|e4 as a wonder contest if It resem.bles a JBfowns-Athletics garni? when the pitqhers are having a had day. A horrible thought certainly, to the American mind.. But such a thing as a pitchers battle is impossible. This is mainly due to .the fact that the picther stands beside the batter and lobsjthe. ball into the air'much as a lungo hitter. He. then steps swiftly aside so the liatter can swing, pitchers who have two left feet do- not become : 10-year mep. For when a guy is knocked out of the box here, Dtp, they ain’t kidding. “American- baseball did noseem worth while to be adopted,’’ explained .an official of the Finnish baseball leagu#, completely ignoring thei feelings of Commissioner Ford Frick. i . . > “The cornerstone! of American baseball, is pitching,* he added “Nd Finn could get fascinated or evan reconciled’ to a game of nohit, no-run play. We want more running, more hitting Jand tnorr fielding so our players can - demonstrate their ability.’’ Naturally, with this theory,; the Finns .wouldn’t give ( 15 marks for a Bob a Filler. But a guy lll|e Willie ■ Keeler probably would wind up as a bigger man than Paavo Nurmi. \ . Finnish baseball * didn’t ~ really get started until 1947- iDvI; so there are still some vague phases The rule book, for instance; insits on use of the ’Official 'ball,’? bitt admits that therb art? two, dis. sizes of “official hall.” This probably takes care of one' for the honie team and one for the visitors. \ r The 1 diamond has ijts problems too.. A base runner must make like Red Grange doing a Roy Riegels because first base is halfway to what would be our second is where our firs! base is located and third base is whefd it; ought to be even in Finland. The traffic when somebody singles' with a man on third is like Helsinki’s drag on ' Saturday night. , ” y The official rule book sounds, how-ever, much like ours. It outlines that a "coach shill he permitted ;to direct distreeily the playing of h)s team from neutral ground/’ Which will be fcbod news, to Leo Hurocher. But it adds that /‘uncalled use of the voice during the game is den.” So you can scratch one ex-Flatbush flat top. As a matter of fact, you can scratch ‘ most of the Americans]. We’re off to root for the Dodgers, Rodgers. I
