Indians Tie While Sox In Second Place NEW YORK. UP —Watch out tor the Cleveland Indians next year if there is anything to the baseball axiom that a strong finishing team in one season should be a contender in the next. The Indians have one-way tickets for a trip to nowhere as far as the current perinant struggle is concerned, even* though they now have moved up to tie the White Sox for second place. But they have won 15 out of their last 17 games and have played good ball while doing it, so things could be considerably better in 1954. And one of the big reasons for the expected Improvement is Negro rookie Dave Hoskins, the kid righthander, who has hurled eight victories for the Indians. \ Hoskins scattered 10 hits Thursday to defeat the Athletics, 9-4, getting a four-run cushion when the Indians put on a rally in the fourth inning. Jim Hegan hit a three-run double for the big blow. The White Sox dropped back into a tie with the Indians when they lost a 5-1 decision to the Washington Senators in a night game. Bob Porterfield allowed the Sox only three hits until he tired after six innings with a strained back, and Johnny Schmitz permitted only one in the last three innings. Porterfield gained his 18th victory as Jackie Jensen led ttie Senators’ seven-hit attack with three singles, - M f The Indians and White Sox open. a hand-to-hand battle for second place \in Cleveland tonight with Billy Pierce seeking his 18th win for the Sox and Mike Garcia of the Tribe trying for his 17th. The Yankees stretched their league lead to 10% games with an 8-5 victory over the Brown's as Ed Lopat gained his 14th victory against only three losses, although he worked only five innings. Gil McDougald, Yogi Berra and%Gene Woodling hit Yankee homerj: • Milwaukee made it two in a rowover Brooklyn and cut its National league lead to nine games with a 6-1 victory achieved as Ed Mathews smashed his 44th homer with two men on base in the eighth to break a 1-1 tie. Jim Pendleton also hit a homer, an inside-the-park job, ■with a man on as Carl Erskine was saddled with his first defeat of the year in Brooklyn after 11 straight victories. Lew Burdette pitched a sixhitter for his 14th triumph. Cincinnati pounded out 15 hits including homers by Ted Kluszewski and Jim Greengrass to defeat the Giants, 9-2.. Fred Baczewski tossed his ninth victory although he had to leave the game in the sixth with a sore arm. The Phillies beat the Cardinals, 2-1, at night, with the help of a key error by Card catcher Del Rice, in the eighth inning. With Gran Haniher at third base aftd the score tied.’, winning pitcher Curt Simmons missed an attempted bunt. Hamner was cut off but scored when Rice dropped a return throw at the plate. Simmons gained his 13th win, while Harvey Haddix was the loser. Detroit edged Boston. 5-4, on a gamersaving stop by second .baseman Fred Hatfield in the ninth. He, took Hoot Evers' bid for a tworun single in the ninth and threw him out. All of Boston’s runs came on homers, a two-run job by rookie Karl Olson in the seventh and a pair by Evers and George Kell in ttje eighth. Detroit scored four runs in the first inning, two on a triple by Bob Nieman.

Walker Cup Matches Get Underway Today ; MARION, UP -Two red hot American “kids.” possibly the best amateur twosome in the vtarld, set out to blast Britain’s hopes for the 13th time today as the famed Walker Cup golf matches opened for a two-day stand at the sea-grit Kattansett club. The deadly duo, selected for what might be the crucial match in this 14th international series, was Ken Venturi, a 22-year-old California college senior, and SAm Urzetta, 27, of East Rochester, N. Y., former U. S. amateur champion. Sensational in four days of practice on the links that jut into wind-swept Buzzards Bay, Venturi and Urzetta were picked to beat Britain’s best—Ronald White of Birkdale, who never has been beaten in three Walker Cup competitions, and Joseph Carr, current British amateur titlist. Francis Ouimet, an immortal among the world's amateur golfers. was convinced that if the first American team could come through on top. the entire British aggregation might fall. He smiled benignly when he learned of the selection that nonplaying American captain Charles R. Yates had made—a selection that saw Crooner Don Cherry of New York and Dick Chapman of Pinehurst, N. C., forced to sit out a foursome play on opening day. Only eight men from England and the United States may play on any one day. And Yates had picked Cherry, who won the Canadian Amateur crown last week, and Chapman, only man to win the amateur crowns in four nations, to play in Saturday s single matches. Though he made the selections for the foursome matches without knowledge of the British choices. Yates could not have made a better pick. In five practice rounds Venturi has never been,over par 70 for this pool-table course. Urzetta has been almost as effective Ahile his putting lias been little short of sensational. Carr and White vs V’enturi and Urzetta were scheduled to tee off first. Following at 15-minute intervals were: James Wilson; Dumbarton, Scotland, and Roy MacGregor, Glasgow, Scotland, vs Jsnnes Jackson. Richmond Heights, Mo., and Gene Littler, San Diego. Cdlif.

Bobby Shantz May Return To Mound PHILADELPHIA, UP — Bobby Shantz, the Philadelphia Athletics pitching ace who has been sidelined with an army injury since last May 21, is a happy man today. He may be able to pitch again this season. / / Shantz, whose 24 victories last year won him the American league’s most valuable player award, pulled a musete during a game with the Boston Red Sox and has been watching from the bench ever since. He won five and lost eight before he was injured. But Dr. Charles Van Ronk, famed osteopath, came out of retirement for 30 minutes Thursday to give the young southpaw an examination. According to Dr. Van Ronk the ailing Shantz is not “washed up.” “There is nothing wrong with your arm that cannot be fixed,” Dr. Van Ronk said. “Were the season not so short, I would say that you could pitch again before it is over—and maybe you will.” The doctor explained the injury probably occurred when Shantz accidentally got into a position where “all the strain is put on one particular muscle and the tendon is pulled away,” “It may never happen again,” Dr. Van Ronk said. 1 “ Commodore Baseball Practice Tuesday ■._ pave Terveer, coach of the pikmtur Catholic high issued a call for all candidates for the Commodores’ baseball team to report for practlceK at McMillen field Tuesday afternoon at 1 o’clock.
