Pitching always is the main
spring of baseball, but yesterday
il was almost the whole works in
the Major Leagues.
In the greatest one-day con-
centration of pitching proves
this season, five of the seven
games played ended in shutouts
and not q single home run was
produced in the entire card. In
fact, there was only one triple.
ROOKIE WINS
Rookie Max Macon, pitching
his first complete game since
joining the Brooklyn Dodgers
several weeks ago, muffled the
New York Giants to two hits in
winning 40 and for the first five
frames had no-hitter.
John Beazley of the st. Louis
Cardinals and Cecil (Tex) Hugh
son of the Boston Red Sox each
hurled three-hitters, the former
trimming the Cincinnati Reds,
SO, and the latter stopping the
Philadelphia Athletics, TO.
But Hal Newhouser pitched
five-hit ball and lost in the rar-
est game of all as Don Holloway
stole home to give the Chicago
White Sox a 10 decision over
the Detroit Tigers.
This was the second start for
Lefty Thornton Lee, the out
standing hurler of the American
League a year ago, and 1t appar-
emily proved that the mysterious
arm ailment which KEEP" him out
of action for more than half the
season has vanished.
DOUBLE PLAYS
Lee allowed only seven scat
tered hits and famed six. With
the help of four double plays
Newhouser matched his oppon-
ent's shutout pace until the sixth,
when Holloway led off with a
single and moved to second as
Wally Moses beat out bunt.
A moment later Myril Hoag
hit into a double play and Kol-
loway reached third. Then with
Luke Appling at bat, he streaked
home and was called safe in a
c. ose decision which catcher Ed
die Parsons debated SO vocifer-
ously that Umpire Bill Summers
waved him out of the game.
It was the fifth straight tri-
umph for the White Sox.
The Red Sox backed up Hugh
sons fine hurting with 14-hit !
offensive spread over every in
ming and gained half a game on
the New York Yankees, who
were kept idle by weather at
Washington.
BATTING MELEE
The only other American
League game was the one con-
test that developed into a bat
ting melee, Cleveland curbing
the st. Louis Browns 8-5 in
night tilt with a six-run rally in
the fourth inning after being
held to one hit for three stanzas
by emmy Galehouse. The
Browns outhit the Indians 12-1l,
but couldn't bunch their blows.
In the National League the
Dodgers and Giants finally turn
ed in complete twi-night |
game at Ebbets Field in Brook
lyn after having been halted
twice by the dimout deadline
while playing across town in the
polo grounds. With Macon
pitching swiftly as well as ex-
pertly, the contest was finished
in one hour and 81 minutes. The
Dodgers made good use OF eight
hits.
All the other National League
activity also was a. night. In
one of the best games Truett
(Rip) Sewell blanked the Chica-
20 Cubs, 80. The Pirates put
an end to a scoreles- pitching
duel between Sewell and Les
Fleming by getting all their runs
in the seventh on q walk and
four singles after two were out.
Each team made six hits.
HIT BUCKY WALTERS
The Cardinals collected four
of their five runs in the first
three innii gs off Bucky Walters
and the Reds never had a chance
against Beazley, who struck out
eight.
Although he didn't get shut
out, Tommy Hughes pitched five
hit ball at Philadelph' to lead
the Phils to their second straight
victory over the Boston Braves,
So, with the help of Danny Lit
whiler, Who hit triple and
double good for three runs.
