Pitcher Makes Last
Out Himself TO
Win Own Ball Game
By UNITED PRESS

The San Francisco Seals clipped
the league leading Sacramento
Senators, to 8. Wednesday night
but it required superhuman efforts
on the part of Pitcher Larry jan
sen, who hung up his fifth straight
win of the season.
Sacramento had the tying and
winning runs on base in the ninth
inning when Buster Adams laid
down a bunt. Catcher Bruce Ogro-
doWski tripped as he went for the
ball and Jansen, retrieving it,
tagged Gene Haniey for the final
out as he dove over Jansen for the
plate.
Seattle turned on Hollywood IL
to to even the series count. Bob
Kahle homered for the Stars in
the first but Gilly Campbell tied
the score in the third when he came
home on Spencer Harris wallop to
left. Walks to Campbell and Cole,
Joe Hoover's error and Bill Lawr-
ence's double gave the Rainiers
three more in the fourth and they
never were headed thereafter.
Los Angeles nosed out San Diego.
2 to l. evening the series. behind
Julio Bonetti's seven-hit pitching.
Oakland squared its series with
Portland, winning a ten inning con-
test to :. A walk to Johnny Ver-
ges and Hugh Lubys triple scored
the winning marker.

NEW YORK, May Is UP) -
Marse Joe Mccarthy had job on
his hands today getting the New
York Yankees untracked and head
ed in the right direction. Losing
seven out of their last nine games,
the Yanks have dropped to an
even 500 and are in fourth place.
Among McCarthy's many head
aches are:
l. Putting the quietus on the
home run balls the Yankee pitchers
are serving up.
2. Juggling the Yankee batting
order to get more strength in the
first three positions.
3. Getting some pitching out of
the Yankee youngsters.
4. And, of course. finding a
formula to score more runs.
In this last nine games the Yanks
have allowed the opposition 13
homerS while the Yanks have made
only four. Thus the YankS are fore
ed to take some of the bitter medi-
cine which they once dished out
to the other side. Three Cleveland
home runs yesterday gave the tribe
clean sweep of the two-game
series at Yankee stadium, Al.
The brilliant crop of Yankee
youngsters brought up this spring
has now dwindled to three, Charlie
Stanceu, Steve Peek and Red
Branch. None except Branch has
showed much under fire. George
Washburn was optioned to Newark

with his glove Then he started his
walk. It was slow walk. Old Diz'
head was down and his shirt-tall
was hanging out a bit. He had the
same shuffling gait that he learned
when he went up and down the
cotton rows for so cents a day.
He shuffled through the loudest
noise ever heard in baseball
park. 1t was roar from grandstand
and bleachers that rose and rose
until Wrigley Field seemed to shud-
der and rock bit. Old Diz never
acknowledged the applause; never
lifted his head or his cap. He shut
fled past third base, past the Cubs
dugout and then dropped his
shoulders little as he ducked thru
the door leading to the dressing
room.
When he dropped his shoulders
the weights of his fame fell from
them. You didn't know it then, but
actually that afternoon was the end
of old Diz as a great pitcher. Deep
in his heart he knew it, and all
the applause in the world couldn't
salve the hurt that was down in
side of him.

NEW YORK. May Is (UP) -
A coach gets plenty of chance to
talk and plenty of chance to tell
other people what to do on a base
ball field Dizzy Dean ought to be
a WOW at it.
It's comforting to know that the
Cubs are going to keep old Diz on
the roster as a coach even if his
arm is shot. The guy adds to the
gaiety of nations and the color OF
the game at a time when there
are too many drab, routine ball
players.
What's your favorite story about
old Diz? The time he fried the
eggs on the steps of the st. Louis
dugout when the temperature soar
ed above 100? Or the time he
threatened to sue the Cardinals for
S25O,000 because they allegedly
made him pitch too soon after an
injury? The idea of that one was
that he would refund to Owner
Phil Wrigley of the Cubs the Sl85.-
600 that Chicago paid for him. Or
the time he said he hurt his arm
reaching for telephone in New
York hotel? Or that time in the
fourth game of the world series
between the Cardinals and the Ii
gers when Dean, without consult
ing Manager frankie FriSch. sent
himself in as pinch runner for
Virgil Davis? He promptly got
between bases, ball hit his head
and he was knocked out.
Yes, old Diz was good for many
a laugh and it's too bad he couldn t
have left his active pitching career
with smile yesterday. But the odd
thing about the funny guys is that
so often the thing you remember
longest is what they did and what
they said in some moment of sor-
row and surrender.
The thing I will remember long
est about old Diz was a little walk
he took through the chilly after
noon of Oct. 6, 1898. 1t as the
second game of the world series
between the New York Yankees
and the Chicago Cubs. Deans arm
was gone but his lungs still were
excellent and before he started the
game he issued one OF his custom
ary modest statements: I'll blow
them guys down.
And he almost did. He couldn't
throw his fast one overhead so he
had to throw slow stuff sidearm
and underhand. The ball came up
as big as toy balloon. But old
Dig was using his noodle, keeping
the Yankees off balance and show
ing nice change of pace. Going
into the eighth inning the Cubs
were leading, to 2. The crowd
was yelling its head off for Diz:
in the press box the boys were OIL
ing up their adjectives to tell the
world hold old Diz had come back
to glory.
Then it happened With the
count of three and two frankie
CroSetti hit a home run into the
left field bleachers with Myril
Hoag on first base That wiped out
the Cubs lead, making the score
4 TO 3. Still there was hope for old
Diz-hope that lasted one brief in
ming. In the ninth, with Tommy
Heinrich on first, Joe DiMaggio got
hold of one of old Diz' fast ones
and hit homer over the center
field wall.
Manager Gabby Hartnett waved
his arm and out of the Cubs bull
pen strolled Larry French. Old Diz
it meant. but for moment he just
stood there slapping his left leg
turned and saw him. He knew what

Two distinguished naval careers
ended yesterday with the retire.
ment of Rear Admiral Joseph K.
TauSSig, hero of the Peking relief
expedition, and Rear Admiral Hayne
Ellis, former commander of the At
lantic squadron. y
The rank of vice admiral was con-
ferred on Admiral Taussig stimuli
tancously with his retirement, and
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
wrote both officers congratulating
them on distinguished service to
our Nation"
Admiral Taussig commanded the
first division of United States de-
stroyers sent abroad in the World
War. The division reached Queens
town. Ireland, after nine days Of
buffeting by southeast gale Vice
Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly, British
commander in chief of the coasts
of Ireland asked Admiral TausSig
when his ships and crew would be
ready again to go to sea.
I'VE are ready now, sir Admiral
Taussig replied, that is, as soon as
we finish refueling."
Admiral Taussig received special
commendation for his combat duty
in the Boxer rebellion in 1900, when
he took part in the battle of June
20 and 81 with the Peking relief
expedition. He was seriously wound
ed, and for his conduct was adj
