by RAY BARNES

Tuesday nights mix-up at the
city stadium when four B league
Softball teams showed up, all ex-
pecting to use the same field for
their game, was unfortunate to say
the least.
Naturally two of the teams had
to be showed over on the small park
in the north end of the town and
you can't blame players on the teams
moved being a little peeved.
There's no use crying over spilled
milk but needless to say, any Sug
gestions that would avoid repetition
on similar incidents should be eager
ly accepted by league officials.
1t is with this in mind that we're
going to put in our two bits worth.
We think:
/. That a complete schedule of
games should be worked out by the
manager of the league and if need
be, revised and all changes care
fully pointed out to the managers
of the eight different teams.
2. That this schedule be lived up
to by the teams if possible and if at
any time a team or teams find they
Imperial Valley press., 1942-06-10

can't live up to their schedule, they
make arrangements with the other
manager or managers to switch
gsnes at least day ahead of time.
8. That it is the duty of the
league manager to make things run
as smoothly as possible and make
sure by checking with ALL managers
of teams about any game changes
at least a day ahead of time.
We only hope that something
definite can be worked out in the
near future so that any coin flip
ping for the use of field-as hap
pened Tuesday-can 'oe evoided
It's lot of grief to the fellow
who is supposed to boss one of
these loops we know, but it's a good
league with all the teams evenly
matched The team members get
a lot of fun out of the games when
they run along smoothly but neither
they nor the spectators enjoy stand
ing around watching three or four
managers Wrangle over something
that should have been worked out
long before.

SMITH T1GHTENS
GRIP ON HARD
LUCK NOMINATION

NEW YORK, June 10: (UP)
Edgar Smith, portly Chi
cago White SoX southpaW,
had a firmer grip than ever
today on the title, hard luck
pitcher of the year.
Smith has lost acouple of 10 con-
tests and a pair of 81 games but
he reached a new high last night
when he lost a two-hitter to the
Philadelphia Athletics. For the two
hits he allowed-one of them of the
infield variety, incidentally - both
became runs as the Sox dropped the
game, 30, before 9,191 fans under
the lights at Philadelphia.
1t was Smiths tenth straight loss
and he has yet to win a game. The
way the White SoX are failing to
score for him, he conceiVably could
&c all season without winning. Yet
he could still wind up with a res
pectable earned-run average.
DOUBLE PLAY COSTLY
Smith gave Bob Johnson a doll
BILE in the second and the Indian
moved to third on a fielder'S choice.
Then he scored while the White
Sox we're making a double play.
In the fifth Pete Suder walked,
advanced on an infield out, moved
to third on a scratch single by Bob
Harris and scored on Luke Apling'S
wild throw.
Cleveland moved up into third
place by nosing out Washington,
7-6, in a 10-inning game last night
before an estimated 5000 in the
nations capital. Three errors by
Ellis Clary, rookie second baseman
up from Chattanooga, played an i'm
portant part in the Senators defeat.
The Yanks took only one hour
and SO minutes to polish off the
Tigers in a daylight game, Al, and
increased their American league lead
to IL games. The defeat dropped
Detroit from second to fourth place
as the idle Red SoX moved into the
runner-up spot. Hank BoroWy fash
ioned a 4-hitter while the Yanks
raped Dizzy Trout, who has beaten
New York once this year, for ten
hits. Tommy Renrich hit his 7th
homer and drove in two runs. Joe
Gordon ran his consecutive game
hitting streak to 26, but Buddy Has
sett was halted after batting safely
in twenty straight games.
DOERR HITS FOUR
Bobby Doerr, who hit a homer,
double and two singles, led the Red
Sox to a ia victory over the Browns
Oscar Judd won his fourth game,
allowing eight hits. Bill Conroy also
homered for the Red Sox.
Scoring three runs in the first
inning, the Giants halted Cincin-
natis 6-game winning streak with
81 triumph. Bill Lohrman beat
the Reds for the second time, al
lowing only five hits. Thompson,
Shoun and Beggs allowed only five
hits but the Giants early push de-
cided it. Ray Lamanno hit homer
No. 7. g
Pittsburgh clouted out 1872 VIC
tory over Boston, and moved up into
fifth place as the Braves dropped
to sixth. 1t was the Pirates fifth
straight win and the Braves eighth
straight loss.
