1938

Joe DiMaggio’s Big Bat Puts McCarthymen Back in Lead; Tribe, Saints Share 1st Place

Redskins Again Wilt in Ninth

Inning as Blues Win, 3 to 0.

Although the Indianapolis Indians muffed a chance last night to become undisputed leaders in the American Association race the Tribe pastimers held to a deadlock for the

position with St. Paul and are sat- | isfied to come up to tonight's All- |

Star game sharing the coveted spot. The Redskins have been under heavy pressure while trying to maintain their first-place prestige for the All-Star engagement and now that the heat has been removed it’s a good guess that the Schalkmen will emerge from their batting slump. They have been discussing the All-Star battle since July 5 when they won the right to entertain the

affair, and it has been tough sled- | Manager Schalk in his |

ding for efforts to swing the players’ interest to the torrid championship race. For the second straight time the Redskins folded in the ninth in the series finale with the Kansas City Blues last night and Bill Meyer's Little Yankees won, 3 to 0. It was the Tribesters’ third straight defeat since “big” Sunday when they won a double shutout from Milwaukee. Llovd Johnson and Joe Vance hooked up in a fancy mound battle and it was a scoreless draw for eight innings with both sides get-

ting turned back on opportunities |

to score. Came the ninth and curtains for Indianapolis.

Gallagher Breaks It Up

Let 'Er Go Joe Gallagher, the big Irishman from Manhattan College, New York, was first up for the Blues and he let one go out of sight. The bali took off in a 'round-the-world flight fashion and soared over the left center field wall east of the scoreboard 400 feet from the plate. Let Er Go Joe probably had his mind set on hitting one to Broad Ripple due to the uncalled-for razzing some fans handed him when he stepped to the plate. He certainlv got more than even with the “boo boys” by that tremendous blow and he'll be out there again

Brooklyn Snaps Pirates’ Victory Streak at 13 | Straight, Wins, 10-5.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 14 (U. P).—

The plot to dethrone the world champion Yankees needed some | new conspirators today—and badly.

The old plotters kept the Yanks subdued from May 11 until dusk | yesterday but finally succumbed to | the all-mighty power of the Bronx | | Bombers. By clubbing out a 15-12] victory over the Browns in 10 in- | nings the Yanks mounted the Amer- | ican League pedestal again as] Cleveland bowed to Washington, | | 4-3. | Now the heat is on Cleveland | | from all sides. The Yanks have the | | lead and are playing at home. Cleveland is on the run and is playing {away from home. Joe DiMaggio personally escorted | the Yanks into first place. He hit | | home runs No. 15 and 16, and drove | [in six runs. His second homer came | in the 10th inning with two mates | aboard and settled the issue. | The two National League leaders lost—Pittsburgh’s hot streak of 13 | | straight ending before the whirl- | { wind ninth-inning finish of the | Dodgers and the New York Giants | bowing to Cincinnati, 6-1. | Despite Johny Mize’s three con- | | secutive homers the Cardinals lost | | to the Bees, 10-5.

playing left field for the All-Stars. |

The home run upset the Indians and after one out Jimmy Pofahl miscued on Eddie Miller's grounder and Johnson struck Clvde McCuilough with a pitched ball. Miller was caught in a trap off second but Johnson was too hasty and instead of dashing straight at the runner to close the trap he elected tc throw to Sherlock at second. Miller set off for third, and Sherlock, hastened in his throw, uncorked a wild toss to the Indians’ dugout, and under the ground rules Miller was permitted to score and McCullough advanced to third. Galatzer Gives Hope Vance sacrified McCullough in with a squeeze bunt and that brought the Blues’ run total to three as Johnson tossed out Harry Davis for the third out. The Indians encouraged the 5000 fans to stick around when Milton Galatzer led off the Tribe ninth with a single. He was forced by Mesner and Chapman singled. Bob Latshaw popped out to Miller and Iewis forced Chapman for the game-ending out. The Blues got six hits and the Indians five, and both teams left seven runners stranded. Pofahl led off the fourth stanza with a double and remained on second as his mates failed to get the ball out of the infield. The Blues inserted an intentional pass to Mesner to get at Chapman after two down, and it worked. Double Play Chokes Rally

In the sixth Pofahl singled after one down and raced to third on Sherlock's single. wary of Galatzer and walked him and then Mesner stroked into a double play. Johnson pulled out of holes in the fourth, when three Blues were

left on base and again in the sixth |

when two were left. But that pitch, right in the groove, served to let Er Go Gallagher, in the ninth was the payoff for the visitors. The Indians’ ome stand ends tonight with the All-Star game and they will begin anew the pennant fight at St. Paul Saturday on their third swing through the West.

Joe Savoldi on Next Mat Card

The speed-merchant of the mat, Jumping Joe Savoidi, following a two-year globe trotting tour wrestling rings in far away lands,

will demonstrate his skill at Sports | Arena next Tuesday night where he |

will go against Juan (Wildcat) Humberto, Mexico City, in the headliner on the outdoor grappling card. Humberto, a dved-in-the-wool “meanie,” who has plenty of skill in addition to his rough tactics, tossed

Henry Piers here last Tuesday. Juan rates at the top of the last as a |

“villain” but he will have to be at | his best if he survives the offensive | tactics of the former University of {| Notre Dame grid ace. Savoldi, stopping off here yesterday to visit friends before heading for his home at Three Oaks, Mich,, related numerous experiences gath-

ered on his two-year tour that car- |

ried him more than half way around the globe.
