JOE NAVARRO. CATCHER OF
vIcToRs. CAME THROUGH
WITH THREE-RUN TRIPLE
IN EIGHTH INNING
By Q. L. MILAN

Joe Navarro, calm, cool-headed
: catcher of the Seafood Grill,
came through in the pinches and
raped out a long three-base hit
! to right center with the bases
! loaded to give the Critters 81
victory over the Blue Sox outfit
in the eighth inning of the first
game of a doubleheader played
yesterday afternoon at Trumbo
Field. Nightcap between Pirates
and Conchs was called in the
ninth inning "A.
Sox were holding a 10 lead
! over the former Trojans until
Navarro's hit came.
The win gave the Grillers the
right to second-place standing in
the past Winter Baseball League.
| Holding down the hard-hitting
Seafooders to four hits through
the sevneth inning, Guillerrao
! (Guiro) Diaz gave way to Oscar
Molina during the eighth stanza
after four successive hits, rinclud-
ing the three-bagger, had netted
the opposing team three runs.
Diaz pitched beautiful ball but
weakened under the rock-split-
ting sun pouring down on him.
Joe and John Navarro and
Domenech played steady and err
rorless ball for the victors. John
again won the applause of the
fans with a beautiful one-hand
catch in back of second base,
while brother Joe was the real
hero with the stick as he lifted
Diaz' pitch far into the center
garden to give the Grillers all
of their runs.
Domenech saved the situation
for the winners several times with
many difficult catches out in CEN
terrified. Although Wickers pitch
ed unbeatable ball, lot of the
credit is deserved by the three
players mentioned above.
The Sox' lone tally came in the
first inning on Castellano's triple
and Kelly's single.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Boh
Teller became the first pitcher in
the major leagues to win six
games in this early season-and
he did so handicapped. His
mother, along with other resi-
dents of his home town attended
the game yesterday to watch him
pitch. His toss to Owen in the
/ third inning went foul and struck
his mother in her face, the wound
requiring three Stitches. Despite
efforts of Papa Fel1er and others
to knock down the ball it got past
them. Feller rushed to the
stands and shortly afterward toed
the mound again with sad feel
ing. He held Chicago White Sox
to six hits in gaining his victory
on Mothers Day, aided by two
home runs and a triple off the
bat of Chapman.
Red Ruffing continued his ex-
cellent pitching by twirling a
four-hitter against Philadelphia
Athletics while his teammates
went on to a 100 win.
Detroit Tigers, who have been
losing right and left, won dou-
bleheader yesterday. In the first
game against st. Louis Browns,
Hank Greenberg poled a pair OF
homers as the Tigers overwhem-
ed the Brownies, IA to 4. In the
nightcap, although outhit, Detroit
came out on top, 7 to 4.
For IL innings Boston Red Sox
and Washington Senators fought
it out before decision was
reached. In that frame. Bosox
scored and won the game, 5 to A.

in the National League by de-
feating Cincinnati Reds again.
Warneke allowed all the Red
hits in the eight innings he pitch
ed. c. Davis relieved him in the
ninth to set down the Cincy boys.
Final score was 9 to 5.
| A pinch hit home run in the
tenth inning won for New York
Giants, 2 to /, over Philadelphia
Phillies. Carl Hubbell made his
first starting appearance on the
mound for the Giants in this sea-
son. He kept the Pills IL hits
well scattered and the lone run
scored off his delivery was
circuit clout.
Since August of 1888 Chicago
Cubs had whipped Pittsburgh
Pirates-nine straight in all-but
yesterday Tobin ended the spell.
Scattering IL safeties while his
teammates got only eight off two
Cub twirlers, he won his game,
S to 2. It was Tobin who won
the last game the Pirates took
from the Bruins before they fell
under the spell.
In a pitchers battle between
Pressnell and Fette, the latter
came out on top to take his fifth
game of the season. He gave up
only four bingles to Pressnels
