a minor league pitcher, they said
they would be satisfied if the
veteran won three games for
them in the stretch drive for the
National League pennant.
On that basis the showboat's
debut for the Dodgers yesterday
at Cincinnati was worth So
1888 and Newsom, with his
rare ability for a grand gesture,
provided performance to meet
the value.
AIR-TIGHT GAME
He shut out the Cincinnati

Wander Nicer, who himself fam
ned eight and allowed only four
safeties before being removed
for a pinchhitter in the last of
the eighth inning.
However, Vandy had one wild
spot in his effort and it cost him
an unearned run and eventually
defeat. In the third inning he
walked the first two men
up, Augie Galan and Arky
Vaughan. Newsom grounded
into an unusual double play,
erasing Galan and himself and
putting Vaughan on second, but
Eric Upton dropped Peewee
ReeSe's liner to centerfield for a
two-base error and Vaughan
scored.

season, kept the Dodgers 4 IL
games ahead of the ST. Louis
Cardinals, who crushed the New
York Giants TO behind the four
hit hurting of Lefty Howard
Pollet.
The young southpaw hadn't
won game since June 7, but he
exerted his old spell over the
Giants, whom he had beaten
three times in the Spring, and
the only club he has beaten all
year except the Chicago Cubs.
The Cards made nine hits, five
of them doubles in the box score,
but three of them flukes on the
field, as the Giants sabotaged
old Carl Hubbell. With the bas-
es loaded and two out in the
third inning Erwin Dusak lifted

Pittsburgh was postponed.
RED SOX GAIN
In the American League the
speeding Boston Red Sox gained
half a game on the idle New
York Yankees by smothering
the Detroit Tigers 20 on four
hit hurting by Bill Butland, who
now has won six in a row. The
Red Seekers were held to five
blows, but made them good for
one run in the third and another
in the sixth for their fifth
straight triumph and 23rd in II
games.

turned the tables on the Chicago
White Sox and swept a double
header 80 and 40, getting the
stupendous sum of 20 hits off
Thornton Lee and Ed Weiland
in the second game while Rookie
Rae Scarborough was checking
Chicago on five. In the first en-
counter Sid Hudson pitched one
hit ball for seven stanzas, but
yielded three together for both
White Sox runs in the eight.
