Indians Beat Athletics In 11th Inning By UNITED PRESS Big Al was a villain in the life of little Bobby Slyihtz today because were it not. for the Cleveland slugger, the Philadelphia wonder boy would have 24 victories and just three defeats. But Rosen, a “bupa” in Philadelphia was a man' of distinction tn Cleveland as were ex-Athlelics I player#, Barney McCosky and Lou Brissie, and ex-National Leaguer, George Strickland, late of Pittsburgh. \. \ They all helped unwind the drama that finished with a 6-3 Cleveland victory in 11-innings at Philadelphia Tuesday night as ,\the Yankees, not interested in working over-time, gained their 6-3 victory over the Browns witji a three-run homer in the ninth by Joe Collins. That kept New York just a bare game in front in the hectic American league race. Rosen was the direct culprit as far as Shantz was concerned. The little lefty was within three putouts of victory when Rosen hit a homer to open the ninth. Shantz will never forget that, just like he <will remember the homer Rosen hit in Cleveland oh June 24 with a man bn base to hand him an earlier 2 to 1 defeat. Tuesday night’s homer put Cleveland ahead, 3 to 2, and although Philadelphia tied the score to take Shantz/off the hook as loser, Rosen still prevented him from winning No. \23, just as he cost him an earlier victory. Strickland earlier had caused Shantz trouble with a .two-run homer —his American league hit. Brissie, the lefty reliever, who occasionally gets out of manager Al Lopgi 7 ’dog-house and has a chance to shine, struck out two batters in theSninth "after Bob Feller had yielded the tying.run, and pitched scoreless ball until McCosky bopped a two-run triple in the 11th. Brissie then delivered MrCosky with a single and, protected the margin in the A’s| half of the inning. / • The Red Sox stayed 3% ’games behind in third place by turning back the Tigers, 11 to 3 on Sid Hudson’s seven-hitter, while Bob Porterfield took matters into Jtysr own hands and delivered a gamewinning eighth inning single after Jim Busby had doubled fßr a 1 to , 0 Washington victory over Chicago. 1 In the National league, the nonstop Dodders made it four in a row over the Cardinals, topping their hot rookie pitcher, Stuart Miller, 4 to 3, while the Giants barely hanging on; stayed 30% gakies behind in second with a 16l hit, 14 to 7 victory at Pittsburgh. Lefty Warren Spahn pitched five ; hit ball to give, the Braves a 2 to 0 victory over the Reds, his i 12th of the year, as Sfd Gordon ! homered. Dee Fondy singled in I the winning run in the 13th as the Cubs topped the Phils, .3 to 2. Hank Sauer hit a two-run dou- , ble for ‘the Cubs in the ninth to i send their game into overtime and ; the teams battled scorelessly then until Fondy. hitless all day, came through with his single after Frank Baumholtz had singled for his fourth hit and Sauer walked. ‘ MINOR AMERICAN ASSOCIATION W L Pct.

I r ' Newhouser Seeking ; 200-Victory Mark BOSTON, UP — Hal Newhouser, , southpaw of the Th , gers, intends to begin his 1953 . spring training the moment the [ last putout; of the 1952 season is . recorded. , “I know I*m going to be all right [ h next, year,"3 Newhouser, who has .. ehly a 6-8 record this season, said, f “My arm better than at any time in the last three years.” Newhouser admitted his immediate goal is to reach the 200-victory j class for hfs career. With 197 vic- ( tories to his credit already. New- . houser reqhires only three more triumphs ip his estimated seven . more starting assignments. \Newhouser, now only 31 years . old despite his long career, enthusiastically out-lined his ’’offseason" training grind. “i’ll (Jo ajdotta swimming," |New- ' houser said. "Some people say ' baseball players shouldn’t do much swimming put it helped me a lot last year. ! “I’ll play a ilotta badminton, too,” Newhouser said. ‘‘Then, I’ll ' report to spring training , about , three weeks ahead of time and ’ should be ready to throw hard as ’ soon as tin? rest of tpe squad ar? rives.”' • <■ 5 1 j ■ ? • 1 s ,Newhduser said his eatly-season misfortune® were due in part to the fact that Manager Red Rolfe > didn’t pitch him much. r T ['■ "you can’t pitch well- if you don’t work steadily*” Hal said. “I r didn’t start to get ijiuch work this . year until Rolfe left the club.” Many .players are not too aware ' of past record* but is fully conscious of the honor attached to winning 200 games. “I’ll be the first Detroit left-, hander ever to win 200,” he said. Newhouser said he had followed Bob Feller’s chase after the 300mark with interest but said the Cleveland star had lost: his chance to make it with his poor record this season. “He’s got 239 now,” Newhouser said. “He can’t do it.” He reflected a moment. Then: "You know,” he said, “I’d have won 300 ekqept for my sore arm. Now I gotta work to make 200.” MAJOR ' AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct. G. B.

Stanky Lashes At Dodgers' Manager - \ ST. LOUIS, UP —St. Louis Cardinal Manager Eddie Stanky unleashed a verbal haymaker at Brooklyn pilot Charley Dressen after a shoving match during Tuesday night’s game. “When a phoney, an alibi artist i like Dressen, calls me a liar, I get my. hair rumpled. I can take it from a man of character but not a phoney,” Stanky told sports writ-; ers in the’dressing room after the game. “If we had won four games instead of losing them, my equilibrium couidn’t be sounder.” he said. “This is not a case of bad disposition.” ' It all started in the first inning of Tuesday night’s final game in the Dodger series, won by Brook-

lyn 4 to 3 to give a sweep of the four-game set. Stanky waited in the coaches’ box after the Dodgers baited in the first and got into a pushing match with Dressen. Umpire Frank Dascoli separated them and the ■ game resumed. Stanky said later he waited for Dressen after the Dodger nj ana K er made motions of drinking from a bottle in mockery of Stanky. , Dresseh quoted Stanky as say-' ing “nobody can say I’m a whiskey drinker.” The ruc-kus was apparently the result of a sports ®tory which quot* ed Stanky as telling his players to relax and get their minds off baseball until reporting to the park for the game. plentiful use of canned tomatoes in World War I made American soldiers the only fighting men who escaped sc’urvy, ‘the disease resulting from a deficiency of vitai min C in the di?t.
