Negro Lad Of 13
Is Helpless in
Face Of Jinx
Walters Of Reds Wins
18th Victory; Yonk
String Snapped
BY BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

If you think all good sports stories
end on a happy note, take the case
Of poor Cecil Haley, who at the
tender age OF 13 failed in his debut
as member Of the New York
Giants.
Cecil, Negro mascot, was given
Giant uniform yesterday, allowed
to sit in the dugout for the first
time and promised trip West if
he'd bring the Giants some badly
needed luck. The net result of his
work? Pirates, 4; Giants, 3.
He didn't do a bit better than two
older recruits. Thirdbaseman Tom
Hafey, recalled from Jersey City, and
Shortstop Frank Scalzi, recently de-
clared free agent by Baseball
Commissioner Lands and signed for
good fee by the Giants. Hafey did
provide all the Giants runs with a
homer, but he later hit into a double
play with the corners crammed.
Walters Wins 10th Victory.
Although Cecil and Tom and
Frank couldn't pull the Giants out
OF their straight losing streak,
there were some individual stories
with happy endings elsewhere in the
major leagues.
Opposed to Cecil, for example.
was Chuck Klein of Pittsburgh, who
stretched his consecutive game hit
ting streak to 20 when he out.
franked all the Merriwells put to-
gether by hitting a homer in the
ninth with two on to give the Bucs
their victory. And if you're still
hunting for heroes. there's Bucky
Walters of the Cincinnati Reds, Carl
Reynolds of the Chicago Cubs, Edgar
Smith of the Chicago White Sox and
Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox.
Here's what they did: Walters
kept his record as baseballs win
ningest" pitcher intact by winning
his 18th victory, with the Dodgers
his victims. He beat them Al
with a fine Shit job after the
fire department had closed the
gates on 34,5l3 Brooklyn fans.

4-game squirt was ended when
Hugh Casey outlasted and OUT
pitched Lee Grissom, Johnny Van.
der Nicer and Lloyd Moore to win
for Brooklyn, 4-3.
Smith Ends Yank Streak.
Ed Smith turned in probably the
days best pitching feat when he
limited the Yankees to five hits
and beat them, Al. 1t was Eds
second straight over the champions
and ended their 8-game victory
streak.
Williams stickwork in the Boston
ST. Louis marathon earned a round
Of applause, for he singled home
Jimmy Foxx in the ninth to tie
the score and connected again in
the eleventh to bring in Bobby Doerr
with the run that beat the Browns.

/ Reynolds provided all the Cubs
runs in 81 victory over the Bees
when he homered in the seventh
and gave Charley Root his fourth
victory of the year. Root scattered
13 Boston hits.
