Vince Shupe got two of the Tribe's "five hits and Toledo's leading stickers were Ellis Clary, third sacker, and Milton Lehner, right fielder. Clary smacked Derringer's. offerings for a double and two singles and Lehner garnered a triple and a _ single and batted in two runs. Gray Hits Single Pete Gray, the Mud Hens' one arm outfielder, participated in the Toledo eighth-inning rally by lining out a single, Lehner hit his important triple in that round, A wild throw by Sibby Sisti helped the Mud Hen splurge in that eighth. The Toledo pastimers got eight hits off Derringer. The series stands at “one apiece.” 3 Double victories: over Columbus ¥ by identical 3-to-2 scores last night : gave Louisville undisputed possession of third place and buried the Columbus Red Birds deeper in the y league basement.

Relief Pitching
One Secret of Flock Success
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK. July 3.—Brooklyn relief pitchers have gained 19 of the team's 45 victories this season and for more than one reason that seemed today to be the answer to the team's fast pace in the MNational league race. / It. means first of all that thé Dodgers have a knack of winning ball games in late innings It means also that Manager Leo Durocher has the most uncanny knack of getting relief pitchers into the game at the right time of any pilot in the business. The 19 victories and seven defeats by the Dodger rescue corps for a (percentage of .731 is better than the overall. Dodger percentage of .662 on 45 wins and 23 defeats. > Clinch It In Ninth The Dodgers applied their formula ‘tor Aictary | in | deatin the Phils at Brooklyn, 3 to 2, yesterday for their seventh | straight. Relief - Pitcher Art Her- | ring blanked the Phils for three {innings and the Dodgers clinched
