Yellow Jackets Lose To : - ■ ■ ■ T i 'n Garrett Friday Night; Play Portland Tuesday

Garrett’s steam engine was carrying a full head at Garrett Friday night, highballing it over the Decatur Yellow Jackets 27-0, to hand the local boys their fourth straight defeat of the season. Two Railroders named Bowmar and Weimer shared the pie over Decatur’s poor tackling, inadequate blocking, a.nd weak defense. •Most of their yardage was gained on straight*through-the-middle tacf tics and sly pass-offs that had the fans as well as Decatur guess ing where that pigskin was. The Jackets showed fair holding power in spots, but were continuously at a phy.sth logical loss because a full four-Tifths of their play, both offensive and defensive was done in their own territory. Fullback Rowley gave his team mates some hopes early in the first period with a center-plunge for a first down on Decatur's 38 yard line. Blackburn carried to the 18 but on the next plav Gallow fumbled and Garrett recovered the ball. * Decatur got possession of the ba’l again when right halfback Lantz took off on a fourth down for eight yards but was nailed by Krick. Decatur lost the ball again on a fumble. Weimer; the fullback, started downfield but was hit by Engle at the same time a flag was called for , Decatur offside, a \ penalty that later crabbed the . only cbm-, pleted Decatur pass, of the game. Bowmar of the Railroaders, nicknamed the "Bull,” gave his teammates their first down and paved the w’ay for a 22 yard race around “left end by Weimer who shook off Decatur boys like flies, for the first TD of the game, but the conversion failed. Garrett 6-0. Decatur opened the second period with a fumble and a recovery by Garrett, and a penalty for off side. Leech of Garrett made good a quarterback sneak through the middle for first down, then Bowmar, the headache end thorn to Decatur, followed through with a smashing ram through center for another 10 yards. Late ip the half Hancher got off two passes but neither connected. Garrett fumbled and Decatur recovered; Custer tried to pass but delayed and wad nailed for a 7-yard loss. Past the half, Rowley had to come out of the game because tils knee got bad again, and was out for the rest of the game. iEarly in the third period Weimer did it again, l scoring a touchdown with a center run of 20 yards. Bowmar made the conversion. Garrett 19-0. In the last period Custer got off a good heave which was voided for an offside. But he did it again in the next play and Hancher grabbed it for a 10-yard gain. But Decatur wasted her energy in regaining lost ground by penalties and it contributed toward 'low spirits. Quarterback Leech went over for the last Garrett score-from the

Baffle Os Bats Features Major League Closing NEW YORK UP — Two of the closest finishes to the batting races in 20 years shaped up today as Al Rosen closed in on Mickey Vernon in , the American League and Al Red Schoendienst made a last, desperate bid to. overtake Carl Furillo in the National League. Rosen, shitted to leadoff man by Cleveland Manager Al Lopez in order to get as many official trips to the plate as possible, collected four hits in six trips as the Indians routed the Tigers, 12-3, Friday night and thereby raised his average to .3’32—only one point behind Verson, who was shut out by Marion Fri\?ano. Schoendienst, meanwhile also collected four hits in six tries as the Cardinals routed the Cubs. 11-2, and upped his average to .342. The injured Furillo, idle for the last three weeks, still holds the lead but his .344 figure looks more insecure every time Schoendienst steps to the plate. Rosen, who finishes the season against Detroit pitching, hit two homers Friday night to take over the American League lead with 43 and he has the runs batted in crown wrapped up with a 144 total. A final push in the averages can make him the first American Leaguer since Ted Williams’ mid--19408 heyday to win the' triple. Schoendienst’s great opportunity lies in the fact that the Cardinals finish against Cub pitching which the slender second - baseman has. hit for an almost unbelievable .595 average in Chicago this season. Three , pitchers, me a n while, shared the spotlight in Friday’s games. .. • Rookie Harvey Haddix notched his 20th victory for the Cardinals; limiting the Cubs to seven hits and benefitting from a 19-hit attack that included homers by Stan Musial and Solly Hemus. Musial, continuing his late-season surge, had two hits in four trips and lifted his average, to .336. Washington's Bob Potterfield hurled his ninth shutout and 22nd victory of the season as Wayne Terwilliger delivered the winning run with a ninth-inning single. Porterfield's shutout total is the highest by an American League pitcher since Bob Lemon had 10 in 1948. and his victory total is the highest by a Washington pitcher sinc4 1933 when Alvin Crowder won 24. Mel Parnell, scoring his 21st victory of the year, shut out the Yankees for the fourth time, 5-0, and thereby equalled a record established by the great Walter Johnson in 1908. His earned run average against the world champions is a glittering 0.64. Ted Williams doubled across the Red Sox’ first run in the first inning and Boston added four more tallies off Jim McDonald in the ninth. In other games, Duke Snider hit his 42nd homer as the Dodgers, downed the Phillies, 4-3; the Giants defeated the Pirates, 6-2, and the White Sox beat the Browns, .T-2.
