NEW YORK, June 21-From day
to day there is growing suspicion
that the Mats aren't to get very far
In the dizzy American League title
race unless Clark Griffith, their
president, manages to find them
batter with plenty Of biff.
The only athlete the Old Fox has
added to his crew since the start OF
the season is Joe Vosmik and thus
far Joe in few trials hasn't set the
baseball world sfire with his wallop.
The only other athlete likely to join
the Mats in the near future Is Har-
lond Cliff, the mysterious inf1elder
who has threatened to hook up with
them since late in May. Cliff may
be in Washington when the Mats
get home from their current trip
next week, but even though he is
there Is no guarantee he can provide
the power needed TO turn a lot OF
narrow defeats into successes.
Manager Os Bluege feels he has
done all he could with the material
at hand to organize an attack CAL
culated to get some respectable re-
suits. When Bob Ortiz, apparently
the lone promising power at bat in
the lineup failed to come through
the pilot ordered the veteran Jake
Powell into action instead OF the
Cuban. Powell did we'll for a while
then slumped badly, so Bluege turned
again to Ortiz.
Travelling in a Circle.
Ortiz responded splendidly to the
call for a few games, but defensively
his play was so uncertain he was apt
to give back to the opposition any
runs his batting had collected. So
out came Ortiz again and Vosmik
sent in. If Vosnik doesn't soon pro-
duce, Powell likely will be in there
once more.
Bluege is travelling in circle get
ting nowhere and under the circum-
stances he can't help it.
So with punch in pinch miss
ing so often the Mats find them
selves playing only game better

In their last 13 engagements they

Little blame can be laid to the

failure to get along better. With few
exceptions the hurlers have handled
their assignments well.

Every one of the 10 games in which

Niggeling dropped his second de-
cision yesterday as the series with

They had the bases loaded with

Case popped out and George Myatt

strikeouts, rolled feebly to the sec

After that inning the Mats got

Vosmik and Torres hoisted soft

Mats showed some life at the plate

Score Double Victory
To Spoil Red Sox's
Chance 10 Lead
BY FRITZ HOWELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Connie Mack's Athletics haven't
won pennant since away back
when, and they aren't hot choices
this year, but there's a growing feel
ing they might have quite a bit to
say about who emerges on top in the
American loops free -for-all.
Canny Comics conglomAration of
kids, castoffs and Cubans, mixed
with few of the better boys, served
notice yesterday that they are very
much in the league. They were
residing placidly in last place when
Joe Cronin's squirting. second-place
Red Sox came to town and 18,500
fans turned out to see the fun.
When the smoke from the double
header cleared away. the Mackmen
had jumped to a sixth place tie and
had spoiled Boston's chance Of Slip
ping into first place over the st.
Louis Browns, who split twin bill
with Chicago's White Sox.
Browns Increase Lead.
The AS needed IL innings to beat
Boston in the opener. 5 to 4, with
Eddie Busch, late OF Elmira, singing
in the winning run. The second was
easy, veteran Bobo Newsom allowing
two hits for 2-to-0 shutout.
The Browns stretched their lead
to a game and a half by salvaging
the second from Chicago, S to 0,
after losing the 10-frame opener,
4 to 3. AL Hollingsworth won his
first of the season in the nightcap.
Hank Borowy came up with an
other good mound chore, a four
hitter, and the Yanks loosed a 10
blow barrage behind him, as the
world champs defeated Washington,
3 to /, with Mud Metheny's homer
deciding it.
Cleveland beat Detroit, 3 to 1, but
skidded into the cellar. Ray Mack,
war worker, flew to Detroit for the
twilight tilt and his ninth inning fly
sent the winning run home as hard
working Paul Trout weakened. Trout
has pitched 261s frames in six days
Walters Scores 11th Win.
Bucky Walters copped his 11th win
with neat two-hitter against Pitts
burgh's Pirates, the Cincinnati star
adding the 80 shutout to other out
standing mound chores which in
clude a one-hitter, and a pair OF
three-hitters. The Reds eased into
third place, O01 ahead of the Giants
The New Yorkers had a chance to
stay up there, splurging for four runs
in the first frame against Brooklyn
but Les Webber relieved Rube Mel
ton with two out and held the Ott-
men the rest of the way as the
Dodgers won out Z to 6. Luis Olmo's
homer was the big blow for the VIC
tors.
AL Jurisich pitched f,ve-hit ball
for the loop-leading st. Louis Car
dinals, but was in hot water all the
way because of five walks and three
hit batsmen. Pepper Martin and
Stan Musial roamed far afield fol-
sensational catches, however, anc
gave him a 2-to-1 win over the last
place Chicago Cubs. The Phillies-
Braves game was postponed.
