With 12th Setback
In Last "a TiIts

The world champion New York
Yankees got biffed on the nose
again last night and nosedived into
sixth place in the American League,
the first time in years the Yanks
have been in the second division
this late in the season.
When Jake Powell singled in the
1lth inning to give Washington a
4-to-3 victory it marked the
Yankees sixth straight defeat and
their 18th setback in their last IA
games.
In another American League night
game Cleveland nicked Detroit, to
5, mainly on the strength of five-
run uprising in the fourth. Mickey
Rocco and Oris Hockett drove in
four of the five tallies in this frame,
each delivering two-run single.
The New York Giants spotted
Brooklyn four runs in the first
inning, then came from behind to
wallop the Dodgers, Is to 9, in the
only National League game sched-
uled. Manager Mel OFT and First
Baseman Phil Weintraub each
socked two homers for the winners
Altogether Weintraub drove in five
runs, his best day since his II RBl
the day the Giants took Brooklyn
26-8, a month ago.
The Chicago White Sox and the
st. Louis Browns were tied, IL
after 2a innings when rain forced a
postponement. The other clubs in
both circuits had an open date.

NEW ORLEANS, June l3.-Rich-
ard Smiling Dick" Callahan, double
no-hit pitcher of the Holy Cross
College Prep School baseball team
here, changed his mind about a coll
lege education yesterday and put his
signature on q Boston Red Sox con-
tract.
He will report to the Louisville
Colonels of the American Associa-
ton next Monday.
George Toporcer, head of the
Boston farm system, who completed
the deal with Callahan, refused to
announce the amount of cash in
yolved, but said that 1t was "the
biggest bonus ever paid to a high
school player for his contract"
Callahan's "buddies" said the bonus
was $12, 500.
I'VE feel that Callahan is real
major league prospect" Toporcer
said, land believe he will be worth
the handsome bonus we had to give
him. Anyway, an Irishman ought
to go good in Boston"
Callahan pitched the Holy Cross
team to three State championships
before his graduation two weeks
ago. He hurled pair of no-hit
games within a week and pitched 26
successive hitless innings. He won
his last II games in a row as a
prep schooler.
"I'll put everything I've got into
it to make major Lacquer" was
the youths only comment.
Callahan, 10, has medical dis
charge from the NAVY.
