Pirates as Cubs and Giants Divide

"By CARL LUNDQUIST, United Press Sports ‘Writer NEW YORK, June 6.—"Any team in the league can win this pen-

nant race."

That was the firm opinion of round-faced Billy Herman, the fresh~

man. pilot of the Pittsburgh Pirates,

who wasn't. even ruling out his own

boys despite the fact they had just taken their fourth straight Beating from his old team mates, the bristling Brooklyn Dodgers.

“We've seen them all and they’ re| all tough,” he said. “But I don't think any team has both the power and the pitching to get hot and

stay hot." Herman rued the situation on his

hitters. unable to. get together for

pitchers are cold and vice versa,” he said. “If they all start clicking at once, we might be as tough as anybody." It was that inability to hit on all oylinders which cost the Bucs their four straight losses in Brooklyn. Yesterday, with young Harry Taylor of the Dodgers no-hitting everyone on the team except Wally Westlaké, who made a triple and single, Brooklyn scored a 3-to-0 shutout’

since they cast him aside In 1944, turned in the best Pirate hurling ‘of the series, but the batters let him down. Robinson Hits Homer Jackie Robinson with a homer and twa singles and Bruce Edwards with a single, double, and triple, led the Dodger attack. Herman's views were reflected accurately in the “double knockout" Giant-Cub series which wound up in a draw with both clubs tied for second behind Brooklyn which

Chicago. won the opener, 5 to 1, on Paul Erickson’s three-hit pitching in which Bobby Thomson's homer spolled a shutout. The Giants put on an eight run thirdinning rally in which 13 men batted and Buddy Kerr, and pitcher Montia Kennedy got two hits apiece to win the second game, 9 to 3. Cards Beat Haves The Cardinals, aware that Herman's analysis is an accurate one, scored thelr 10th. victory in 16 starts, defeating the Braves at Boston, 3 to 3, on Marty Marion's; three-run homer in the ninth. The Reds struck back at the Phils, who had beaten them six out of seven times, winning, 5 to 0 and 6 to 3, at Philadelphia to jump to fifth place. Ewell Blackwell's six-hitter in thé opener was his seventh victory and his fifth straight.

Idea Backfires

CLEVELAND, June-6' (U. P.).— Bill Veeck, president of the Cleveland Indians was convinced today that his outfield fence in Municipal stadium was becoming a “Frankenstéin” and said at least part of it would be moved back before opposing home runt hitters wrecked his ball club. - Veeck installed the mesh wire | fence to encourage home run hit-, ters to thrill Cleveland fandom.

right, but the catch was that most of them who took advantage of it were from opposing teams. Veeck made up his mind yesterday when Sherry Robertson and Al Evans of Washington each drove homers over the fence to defeat Cleveland, 3 to 0. Taking a quick count he found that since the fence was erected opposing teams had hit 14 homers in the stadium to six for Cleveland.
