White Sox And Yanks Win In Little League A pair of one-slued games were played in the Little League Tuesday night at Worthman field, with both games resulting in 10-run margins. The Senators broke away for nine runs in the first inning and went on to an 18-8 victory over the White Sox in the opener. In the nightcap, the Yankees defeated the Tigers, 19-9, in a game shortened to four and one-half innings because pf the league time limit. The Tigers and White Sox will play a single game at Worthman this evening at 6:15 o’clock, and the league season will close with a double header at Worthman Thursday, the Tigers meeting the Red Sox at 6:15 p. m.. followed by the White Sox and Yankees. A re-check of the league standings revealed that the Indians, who completed their schedule last week, won 15 games without a less, instead of 14 as previously reported. ——TWhite Sox AB R H E Odle. 3b 3 10 0 Raudebush. p 4 2 3 0 Gay, c ... 2 2 2 2 August, lb 4 0 2 0 R Strickler, rs .... 3 10 0 Fravel.

White Sox And Yankees Take Crucial Tilts NEW YORK (INS) — For a couple of fellows who are supposed to .have pitching problems managers Marty Marion of the I Chicago White Sox and Casey | Stengel of the New York Yankees ' seem to be getting a tot of milage out of retread*. Thirty-two-year old Connie Johnson, who slipped back to the minors after a previous trial with the Sox. kept them a game out in front in the American League pennant race Tuesday night by defeating the Boston Red Sox, 2 to 1. Johnson, who won his fourth game against one loss, shut out the Red Sox with five hits until two men were out in the ninth. And then when he needed some help, it was 35-year-old Dixie Howell, the gray bearded rookie reliever, who got the final out. The Y’ankees got an even more spectacular mound job from 35-year-old Tommy Byrne, another reclamation project, who defeated the Cleveland Indians, 2 to 1. on home runs by Joe Collins in the first and 10th innings. That win broke a second place tie between the Yankees and Indians. It was the 10th of the season against only two losses for Byrne, who has become the most dependable man on the Yankees' staff, although back in 1951 they traded him away because of his supposedly incurable wildness. Tommy bounced around with the St. Louis Browns. White Sox and Washington, finally slipping back to the minors where he gained a 1 fresh chance by winning 20 games at Seattle last year. Tuesday night. Byrne duelled Cleveland ace Early Wynn from Cleveland ace Early Wynn from start to finish in 90 odd degree heat before a paid attendance of 43,124. He gave up a run in the first inning on Al Smith's leadoff triple and Bob Avila’s sacrifice fly, but that was all, and Collins’ two drives into the right field stands decided it. Johnson and Howell have baseball histories not too dissimilar from Byrne’s. The Sox sent Connie, who had a 4-4 record with them in 1953, back down to Toronto. A 17-8 mark in ’54 and a 12-2 record this year convinced the Sox they had been hasty. Howell, who failed in previous trial* with Cleveland and Cincinnati, was brought up from Memphis, strictly for bullpen duty, on the recommendation of White Sox coach Don Gutteridge, who managed the Chicks last season. Dixie (this one’s square name is Millard) has rolled up a 4-1 slate with clutch performances similar to Tuesday night's. Marion removed Johnson after Jim Piersail beat out a scratch hit and Connie pitched two balls to pinch hitter Faye Throneberry. Morries Martin came in first but Throneberry banged him for a triple, scoring and Marion summoned Howell. Eddie Joost worked the count to 3 and 2 and flied to center to end the threat. Jim Rivera's homer in the fourth provided what proved to be the winning run off the Red Sox’ Tom Brewer. A crowd of 35,255 saw the game, which pushed Boston four games off the pace. While the A.L.'s Big Four battled among themselves, Detroit scored three runs in the ninth to win a 13 to from Washington and remain within 7% games of the top. Baltimore defeated Kansas City, 5 to 1. with Bill Wight meting out only four hits. A home run by Bill Wilson deprived Wight of a shutout. All the Baltimore runs were unearned as the A’s made four errors behind Bobby Shantz. In the National League, the Milwaukee Braves, sparked by two Eddie Mathews homeruns, rallied to defeat Brooklyn, 5 to 3, and cut the Dodgers lead to 13% games. Mathews' homers — his 28th and 29th-led to the first defeat for rookie Roger Craig of the Dodgers after three wins. Duke Snider socked his 36th round tripper for the Dodgers, breaking a tie with Ted Kluszewski for the major league lead. The third place New York Giants handed St. Louis its fifth vtraightdefeat as Johnny Antonelli shut out the Cards, 3 to 0, with five hits. It was his ninth victory. Johnny klippstein and Joe Nuxhall of Cincinnati hurled twin shutouts over faltering Philadelphia, 2 to 0 and 4 to 0, in a twi-night affair. It raised the Redlegs’ winning streak to seven games and the Phils’ losing string to five. Klippstein allowed jsix’-jlits and Nuxhaß five a* the Reds moved within half a length of fifth place. Gus Bell homered twice in the nightcap for the Redlegs. Chicago held on to fifth by smashing Pittsburgh, 12 to 4, in an afternoon game. Ernie Banks tied a major league record by hitting his fourth grand slam homer of the season during a six-run rally in the fifth inning. It was his 32nd bomb run bl the year.

Brooklyn Toys With Idea Os Moving Series NEW YORK (INS) — Walter O’Malley never woulda dared say It back home in Brooklyn, but out in Milwaukee the Dodger president has hinted that the Bbms just posHihly might not play their World Series home games at Ebbets Field. The question was put to O'Malley by some of the New York writers traveling with the Dodgers. While he hedged away from a direct answer, he managed to leave the impression that he would give favorable consideration to a move away from Ebbets Field with its meager 32,111 capacity. O’Malley refused to make any statements at all about the 1955 series, because he is superstitious enough not to want to put the whammy on the Dodgers, unbeatable as they now seem. But speaking of World Series in general—well( O'Malley observed that the question of switching to the Polo Grounds (capacity 55,000) or Yankee Stadium (67,000) has ccme up before. “Somehow.” he said, “we always seems to wind up in Ebbets Field.” However. O’Malley conceded that things "have changed'' since such an idea was vetoed several years ago by Branch Rickey, then president of the Dodgers. He explained: “We used to draw almost all our fans from within Brooklyn. Now they come from Long Island a great deal. It would be just as easy for them- to attend a World Series at one of the other parks as at Ebbets Field.’’ ' What O’Malley might have added is that very, very few average fans get to see a World Series game, anyway, whether it is in Ebbets Field or in Yankee Stadium. Requests flow in from all over the land, and by the time commitments are taken care of—to season ticket holders and the like—nothing is left, Aside from thd purely commercial considerations of having, a larger park to fill, O’Malley would have to think about other things, of course, Civic pride, particularly in Brooklyn where it is sensitive, might be hurt; the Dodgers might more than pay in future lack of support for any temporary gains. Moreover, the Dodgers as a team art tailored to their bapdbox ball park with its easy to reach senses. The home field advantage would be lost, and it might mean the difference in a World Series. And as everyone ’ knows, the Dodgers, who never have won a post season classic, are drooling to claim this one. O’Malley is the worst droller of all, being No. 1 Dodger fan as well as the club president. There is one significant factor in O'Malley’s discussion of the matter. The Dodgers have surveyed their attendance. They realize that they , are more properly the “Long Island Dodgers”. "It frequently is rumored that the club may be moved —to Minneapolis, to Montreal or to the West Coast. If they don’t go to one of these places, the Dodgers pretty definitely will be making a shorter move soon —somewhere out on the teeming island, where they'll still be the Dodgers but will be more easily accessivle to many more people.
