Kresge's Loss Cuts
PlayOff Teams tO3
kewsboys Reilly Win,
lab, in Junior
SoftboIl Series

Kresge's, a team which wound
up the regular schedule of play
iii last place of the. Junior Soft
ball League. became the first
team to drop out of the playoffs
last night.
They lost. 14-l3, to the Moni-
tor-Leader team, in a sudden
death" clash; both outfits had
lost their opening games and
last nights tilt was for the pur-
pose of eliminating one under
the two game knockout system.
At that. the Newsboys were
almost the victim. They had
finished the regular season in q
tie for first, but were upset in
their opening game by L. & G.
They stepped into an early lead,
scoring two runs in the first
frame last night and at the end
Of the third inning held an ap-
parently certain ga margin.
However, after that, they scored
only two runs until the seventh
inning.
RALLY TO WIN
Behind, 1871, at that point,
they rallied for the victory. Tom
Donaldson, first man up, laid
down a bunt which he beat out
followed by W. Meitz' single
which scored him. Meitz, who
held the tying count, advanced
to third and when pitcher Bob
Manning singled off Ed Sheldon
the game was tied. Then catch
er Joe Verniece singled, took
second on a balk and stealing
third, was enabled to 60 hope
on a bad throw down to the bag.
His run was the 14th, ending the
game.
The losers big rallies had
come in the second, when they
scored four times, and in the
fifth, when five hits and a pair
of walks led to six runs. Three
errors and a pair of doubles,
by John Torrey and Teller, were
instrumental in the big inning.
Manning's frequent passes-he
gave up 9 walks - aided the
losers heavily in their scoring.
FOUR FOR FOUR
High points in the Newsboys'
attack had been a two-run triple
by outfielder Donaldson in the
second and a two run single by
Bob Reinhold in the third. Don
aldson, with four hits in four
trips, and Manning with three
for four, paced the winners. In
fielder Elliott's three for three
topped the losers.

Yankees Victim
|of MATS; Smith
Whips Tigers
Buck Wins 9th Come
Gionts Smosh Brooks,
Bonsins Out 5 Homers
BY JUDSON BAILEY


Associated Press Sports Writer
With practically no fanfare
two of the American League
clubs suffering from sleeping
sickness as the result of staying
too near the contagious cellar
zone suddenly have shown un-
expected signs of life.
The Chicago White Sox have
won half a dozen games in sue
cession in recent days and the
Washington Senators have won
seven out of nine in the last
c ouple of weeks for what
amounts to a sizzling squirt for
the Nationals.
Last night, led by the ire
pressible Bobo Newsom, they
set down the New York Yankees
SO in a free-hitting affair in
w h ich Washington made IA
blows and the Yanks IL. In ad-
dition the usually flaw e S S
Yanks contributed a couple of
errors to rookie Hank Borowy's
second defeat of the season.
NEWSOM WINS 9TH
Everyone of the Senators, in
GLIDING Newsom, participated in
Washington's attack with Roy
Cullenbine accounting for three
hits and driving in two of the
runs. 1t was Newsom's ninth win
against ID defeats.
The White Sox whipped the
Detroit Tigers Al with Edgar
Smith pitching six hit ball and
losing shutout because Jim
BloodWorth belted a home run
in the eighth inning.
No more convincing evidence
that Chicago's hitless wonders
are soaring could be mentioned
than to point out that even
Smith, the unlucky southpaw
who has lost II times, now has
been able to gain his third vic
tory.
The Sox punched four of their
nine hits and an error in the
first inning for all of their
runs.
BOSOx WIN
In the only other American
League game the Boston Red
Sox scored their second straight
shutout as Bill Butland, ordi-
narily used for relief chores,
pitched four-hit ball to beat the
Philadelphia Athletics 20.
He was in frequent trouble
because of his wildness, but aft
er the first inning when the
AS loaded the bases without
hit Butland never let Philadel-
phia become dangerous.
He was given his two run
margin in the second inning
when the Sox scored twice on
walk, two singles and an error
to cancel the otherwise we'll
pitched six hit game of Russ
Christopher.
Cleveland's doubleheader at
st. Louis was postponed.
GIANTS SMASH BROOKS
Only one game was scheduled
in the National League and in
this the New York. Giants re-
leased all the pent-up fury of
their last three days to over
whelm the Brooklyn Dodgers
80 with five home runs and a
steady seven hit pitching per-
Torrance by Prince Hal Schu-
macher.
Mel OFT hit two of New York's
circuit blows, bringing his total
for the season to 10, and Bill
Werber, Mickey Wick and Bus
ter Maynard accounted for the
others.
The first three roundtrippers
each came with one aboard in
the fourth and fifth innings to
blast Johnny Allen out of the
box. Although the Giants made
IL hits off three hurlers.
This was the second time this
syear a club had made as many
as five homers in a single game,
the other being the Boston
Braves field day against the
Chicago Cubs May Is when
Pitcher Jim Tobi produced
three homers himself.
