Trucks Tosses 6th Straight, Win For Sox NEW YORK. UP —Virgil Fire Trucks is clanging along like he was heading for a five-alarm blaze and the old White Sox right hander- might wind up winning more games than at any time in his major league career. i Trucks, whose White Sox teammates are just as hot as he is. pitched them to their seventh consecutive victory. 4-1. over Washington Friday night with a threehitter. It was his lltti victory of the year and his sixth straight since he went to Chicago on June 13 from the Browns. He has lost only four. The Birmingham, Ala., blaze ball hurler isn’t as fast as in his heyday with Detroit but he still (could top his best winning year in the majors when he chalked up 19 victories with the 1949 Tigers. • After that he hurt his ,arm and only last year began to regain his effectiveness. Now, with enough rest, he is terrific. Friday night as Minnie Minoso set him up with enough help to win with a two-run fourth inning homer. Trucks struck out six, walked none, and missed a shutout only on Ed Yost’s seventh homer. The strikeouts brdujfht his total* to 90. highest in the Afneri- ' cgn league. 5 The White Sox. who have won 28 of their last 34 games, stayed four games behind the Yankees, who staged a triple play and four double plays in a 6-4 victory over the Browns. 5 Yogi Berra, drove in four runs with a double, two singles. and »a fly ball. Center fielder Irv Noren started I the triple play in. the second when j he caught Clint Courtney’s liner ( with runners on first and second. > threw to Phil Rizzuto to nail Vic , Wertz as the* relay to first retired • Don Lenhardt. Allie Reynolds | gained the victory with four-hit relief pitching for 5 1-3 innings, al- i though he tired in the ninth when ■ the Browns scored three times I and Johnny Sain had to relieve j him. . 7 J In the National league, the Dodgers stretched their lead to three games by defeating the Car- 1 dinals, 14-0 and 7-4, while Milwau-j kee topped Pittsburgh. 8-2. Cincinnati snapped Philadelphia’s seven-game winning streak. 3-2. i The Giants ahdi Cubs had an open date. In other American league games, Cleveland topped the A’s, 5-0, and Rdston edged Detroit, 3-2. Brooklyn scored seven runs in i the first inning to get lefty rookie : Johnny Podres a roller coaster ' ride to his first complete big lea- i

Yanks, White Sox Will Battle Sunday ST. LOTOS, ‘Mo. UP — Casey Stengel, gravel-voiced boss of the New York Yankees, is viewing with alarm again. So it’s up to the seven other American League Inanagers to beware of Crafty Case who is at his best when he is gloomy. The Yanks will tackle their dos-, est pursuers. the second - place Chicago White Sox. in a Sunday doubileheader and, Stengel looks forward to the event with deep foreboding. \ “All those fellows the Sox arc playing great ball.” he said. “They always were a fast, great defensive team and now they’re getting fine pitching and heavy hitting besides.” How about Virgil Trucks and Bob Elliott, the Sox recent acquisitions from the St. Louis Browns! "tAJI you’ve gbt to do is look at their records." Casey snorted ‘VTrubks has won six straight and that other fellow’s hitting close to 4350. They could make the difference for that cluH>." Casey implied that there might be something about the Chicago climate beneficial to former St. Louip players. "iLpok how that catcher Sherman Lollar is playing for them,’’ he said. “He was good when he was with the Browns but not that goop. It’s amazing.” About his own club Stengel was as psual, wryly pessimistic. ( . - i ' FT ''. . The smallest snow depth ordinarily reported is a tenth of an inch. Normally snow is caught in a standard rain gage. After its actual depth is measured it is melted to determine the equivalent amount of water which fell as snow. Ordinarily the water is about a tenth as deep as the snow., though this may vary with tb.o ifluffiness of the snow. Thus, a report might 'be given ol a hundredth of an inch of melted snow, corresponding to an actual depth of one to five tenths of ah inch on the ground.
