Billy Pierce Pitches Third Shutout In Row NEW YORK. UP <— The score was 34% to 29 in favor Billy Pierce over Bob Portefield in the American League scoreless inning derby. . • Porterfield got his chance today to overtake Pierce, but the chances were good that neither one of them would disturb the all-time record of 56 scoreless innings fired by Walter Johnson of the prePorterfield Washington Senators of 1913. i Pierce Friday night fired his third straight shutout, pitching the White Sox to a 7-0 victory over the. Tigers on his sizzling sixhitter. which also wasr his 16th victbry of the -year. H 4. bad a nohitter until Bob Nieman hit a popfly double in the fifth. Pierce hasn’t been scored upon in two weeks during a period in whi<lV he has blanked the Senators. Yankees, and Tigers, plus turning in- relief stinst against rhe Athletiys and Indians. The Whitd Sox lefty also was in another'race with teammate Virgil Trucks to see who will come closest to w inning 20 games. Right now it looks like both are a cinch to hit that figure and that would be unique since the White Sox have not had a 2<Vgame winner since 1941 when Thornton Lee had 22. ■ j ‘‘l’m not trying to set any records in any -direction.’’ said lefty I Billy. “Porterfield probably will go ] ahead of me today on the score- | less innings. And as far as win- I ning 20 for the White Sox. Virgil and I aren’t in any race. We should both make if, figuring we’ll both start eight more.times. Right now I’m one ahead of Virg. but the way he is pitching I’ve got to win every game to keep that lead, j What we’re both interested in is I whittling down that Yankee lead.” ; Pierce said he thought for a time Friday night that lie would • up with a no-hitter. “Until Nieman’s fly fell through ‘ in the fifth, I figured this was the time I might make it. It Is funny ho.'r you . get that feeling sometimes but I’m not thinking about that or the shutout record. Sure it would be nice to get .your name in the books but I just want to > win. »•■ -.. ( “The only team I give a darn about" shutting out is the Yankees.” - ' J - ‘ The Indians topped the Browns, 8-p, as Luke Easter drove in five runs with two ho.mers and a single and Al Rosen also hit a Cleveland homer. The Yankees were rained out at Philadelphia and wound up 6% games ahead of the White Sox. The Red Sox and Senators also were'rained out in Boston. ‘ ’ In the National league, the Cubs , came from behind to pummel hit a grand slam pinch homer and Randy Jackson and George Met-

THE RIGHT SHOES FOR MEN

Detroit Lions 1 : j. ' ' < I j | - Deleaf College Stars, 24-10 'CHICAGO UP — Even a varied pass defense couldn’t, stop pitcher Bobby Layne from setting a new throwing record, and when the Detroit Lions showed their midseason form, the 20th annual procollege All-Star scrap was all but over. " The result, before 93.818 Sbldier Field fans, was Lions 24, All Stars 10. It was the 12th win for the National Football League champions in the aging series in which the collegians have won six times v ith two games tied. Layne pitched 21 strikes in 31 attempts for 323 yards through the air and jthe Lions amassed 339 yards on aerials to exceed the old record for the game of 306 yards set in 1940 when Ceci’. Isbell hurled the Green Bay Packers to a 45-28 win. “Our offense was in midrseasom form,” Lions,CoaCh Buddy Parker, in his second year, said. “Layne was throwing real good. After we moved the ball the first time, 1 didn’t have any doubt.” Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech, coaching the All-Stai s -for the second straight year, said the pros •'made great latches” to spark the win. “When pros make catches like tjhey did. no college hoys are going to stop them.’’ he said. “We played well under the circumstances, but they didn’t running gaiHe as well as I thought they would. “We varied our pass defense quite a bit, rushed from three to seven men. We never were really a threat. This was a far better pro three touchdowns better, than last year.” Dodd’s club a year ago lost to the Los Angdles Rams, 10-7. The Lions outclassed the Stars from the start, scaring the second time they got the ball and collecting i points in every period. Layne was the star but even Doak Walkef and Bob Hoernschemeyer Completed passes, and Walker, Hoeriischemeyer. and two huge ends. Cloyce Box ahd Leon Hart, were standout pass receivers! Box, who netted 107 yards on five catches, pulled down one throw of nine yards for a touchdown, while Hart gained 109 yards on six receptions.
