New York, July 2-(UP)-When
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands
cut the shackles from some 30 play.
ers in the Detroit farm system a
few years ago, he loosed flood OF
talent on the majors that has re-
suited in remarkable succession OF
stars, latest and possibly best Of
which seems to be Guy Cartwright.
This rookie Chicago outfielder, a
regular on the White Sox only be-
cause manager Jimmy Dykes had no
other choice early in the season, is
crowding 81 but now is one of the
lustiest sluggers in the American
leaguge.
Cartwright sports 1943's longest
successive batting streak, having hit
safely in 26 consecutive games after
betting out a triple as the White
Sox BANKED the Senator's, 20, yes
terday.
Currently on leave from teach
ing coaching job at Mexico, MO, his
home town, Cartwright is clipping
the ball at an average OF .342 for
142 times at bat in 40 games. He
has slammed out So hits, driven in
16 runs and scored 10. If Dykes had
couple more like him, the White
Sox might be lot higher than tied
for fourth place in the Junior cir
cult.

Early Wynn yielded Cartwright
his triple along with eight other
Chicago hits as Bill Dietrich
BANKED a Washington team that
found Bob johnson set at third ana
Gene Moore in the outfield to add
to their batting power. A pair OF
singles. Thurman fuckers double
and Mike Tro~h's sacrifice produced
the Chicago runs in the seventh.
Catcher Ken Sears fumbled Orls
Hockett's bounder in front OF the
plate to let in the run that gave
the Indians a 80 triumph over the
Yankees. Mickey Rocco started the
winning run on its way in the
eighth with a double an reacheo
third on a sacrifice. AL Smith won
his eighth decision after allowing
eight hits in as many innings.
The Browns, held helpless by
rookie Don Black for 10 innings
slapped out four straight singles IN
the 18th to whip the Athletics, FL.
Black allowed only two hits until
the 18th when Vernon stephens,
Mike Chartak, AL zarilla and Joe
Schultz all nicked him for one-oag-
gers. :;
A single by Ned Harris IN
the ninth with the bases loaded
gave the Tigers 80 win over the
Red Sox in twilight game. All
three of the Detroit runs were un-
earned, two coming in the elgntn on
walk, an error, a passed pail ana
a single.
Brooklyn muffed a perfect oppor-
tunitv to wrest the National league
lead from the idle Cardinals by
bowling to the Reds, 1919, in II Inn
ings.
Canny Elmer Riddle, fifth Cln-
cinnati pitcher, provided a Merrl-
we'll climax to the game by retiring
Arky Vaughan, Joe MedWlcK anu
Dolph Camilli on successive pop-ups
after the Dodgers put across one
rim and loaded the bases With none
out in their half of the l2th.
The Phillies divided with the FL
rates winning the first game, d.
and losing the second, 81. School

seven hits as his mates garnereo
eight off AL Gerheauser IN ING
nightcap. Elliott's double ana
frankie Cuisines single provided
the winning run in the fourth as

eighth.

scene in the eighth and was 1ol-
