For years baseball's fountain OF
youth has reposed in Yankee Sta
dium and joining the perennial
American League champions has
made almost any ordinary ball
player into a star, at least tenn
porarily.
Now the Philadelphia Phillies
have set up rival clinic in re-
juvenation that is producing just
as spectacular results without the
scent of q World Series share for q,
stimulant.
Schoolboy Rowe, 81 johnson,
Babe Dahlgren and other veterans
have responded to the treatment
Of DR.. Stanley Raymond Harris this
season and the newest Phillies' pa
tient to take the cure successfully
is Richard o. Kewpie) Barrett.
This 35-year-old right-handed
pitcher, who was cut loose q few
days ago by the Chicago Cubs after
losing four games without winning
one, came up yesterday with a a.
inning shutout against the Cincin-
natl Reds to win a grueling 10
battle for the Phillies after they
had been battered, Us, by a 17-hit
assault in the first half of q double
header.
Shares Honors With Grove.
Considering that it came from q
stumpy old-timer who had failed to
make the grade not only with the
Cubs this year, but previously with
the Athletics, Braves and Reds, the
performance was f1ashy enough to
share attention with the one-hit
game pitched by Orval Grove of the
Chicago White Sox last night as he
beat the Yankees, 10, for his seventh
triumph without defeat this season.
Barrett kept nine hits scattered,
famed five and walked five to out
last Ray Starr, who was pitching for
Cincinnati on one days rest. Starr
yielded to pinch-hitter in the 11th
and it was Joe Beggs who was vic
timized by Merrill Mays pinch
single for the winning run in the
14th. Barrett also had to overcome
the handicap of five Philadelphia
errors.
John Wander Nicer went the
route in the first game to win after
giving up four runs in the first three
innings.
Grove. pitching the seasons
ninth one-hitter, came within one
out of reaching the no-hit hall of
fame. The spoiler was a double by
Joe Gordon (batting average .21H
but the disappointment of 3l,019
Chicago fans was somewhat as
suaged by the fact the third-place
Sox captured their ninth victory in
IL games. Their run came in the
first inning on two singles and an
error by John Lindell, who dropped
a fly.
Tigers Beat or AS Early.
The second-place Detroit Tigers
extended their squirt to 10 wins In
IL games by beating the Philadel-
phia Athletics, 81, on six-hit hurting
by Paul Dizzy Trout. All the
Tigers runs were scored on four
singles in the third inning against
Roger Wolff and gave the AS their
eighth setback in 10 games.
The st. Louis Browns rebounded
from their losing series with the
Yankees to whip the Boston Red
Sox, So, with Steve Sundra pitching
seven-hit ball.
In the National League the only
action aside from the Philadelphia
double-header was at Brooklyn,
where the Pittsburgh Pirates pun
ished the Brooklyn Dodgers, 3D., for
Rip Sewell's 18th victory against two
defeats. He held the Dodgers to
seven hits, but his task was made
easy by the waloping of Elbie
Fletcher, who hit a three-run homer
in the first inning, and Pete Coscar-
art, who tripled with the bases load
ed In the ninth. The Pirates made
just 10 hits, but used them so we'll
that they had only two runners left
on base
