|MeIe Scores 8, Bats in Is
OF Last 48 Runs by Mats
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Sfoff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, July 31.-The Mats
today have a 4 won, 3 lost record
on their corrent road trip, as well
as their first double header vic
tory of the season, thanks large
ly to the comeback of Sam Mele.
Mele was the key figure in
Washingtons double win over the
Browns yesterday by scores of
8 to 5 and 13 to s.
The Mats. incidentally. won the
second game by another 8-run
inning. It was the third time this
season they have scored 8 runs in
one frame. They did it Saturday
against the Browns and, earlier
this year, defeated the Tigers in
Detroit with an 8-run surge in
the ninth.
Hitting Over 300.
A .370 hitter on this journey,
Mele has lifted his season aver
age over the 300 level and may
be headed for his best year, in
Guiding his freshman season with
Boston in 1947 when he batted
.312.
Sam slumped badly the next
two seasons, hitting .233 and .235,
delivering total of five homers
and batting in only ST runs in
1948 and 1949. This year he
already has socked across 81 runs
and belted nine homers to sur
pass his previous two-year pro-
duction.
On this trip the Mats have
scored 48 runs and Mele has fig
ured in 10 of them. He has scored
eight times and batted in 13 runs
since coming off the bench to re-
place the slumping Ed Stewart
Two of his hits have been homers
Sam shot the Mats into 5-1
lead in the first game yesterday
when he slammed a three-run
homer in the third inning of
Stubby Overmire. The Mats re-
tained their lead despite some
anxious moments as Joe Haynes
and Sandy Consuegra allowed /;
walks.
Haynes, who permitted 10 OF
those bases on balls, got his fifth
win as the Mats hammered four
st. Louis pitchers for IL hits, in
Guiding a home run and two sin
giles by both Mele and Irv Noren.
The Mats were beaten, 6-5, en-
tering the ninth inning of the
second game, when they produced
their eight-run inning.

mon practice in those days. The
same thing probably had been
done a half dozen times during
the season, but nobody ever was
called on it. The umpires just
decided to be technical"
At the end of the 1927 season. he
quit the game for good and "ex-
He'd" himself from big league base
ball. Now living in Florida, the
now 61-year-old retired business
man hadn't attended a big league
game let alone come to New York
Customers Get Thrill.
The Polo Grounds customers got
a terrific bang out of the three
inning game played between the
championship Giants Of 1888 and
the famous Gashouse Gang of st.
Louis.
But it is doubtful if the fans
enjoyed it more than the old stars
who sat in the dugouts.
Rabbit Maranville, the old Brave
and Cardinal gave the Giant bat
ters fits with his persistent jockey
ing.
When leadof man Ernie Orsatti
of the Cards greeted Carl Hubbell
with a single to open the game,
Maranville shouted at the former
screwball king: There goes your
no-hitter."
Current Stars Watch.
Every one who stepped to the
plate drew some kind of remark,
Those on the bench watched him
intently. The most interested
were the current crop of Giants
and Cards. They ate up every
thing said by the old timers.
Typical of the antics was the
hidden ball trick pulled by the
Cards.
10 10 Moore, the former Giant,
singled to right, and after play
was resumed he was tagged out
by Ripper Collins. Cardinals first
baseman. The Giants protested
and all four umpires rushed out
on the field and frisked the
Cardinal infield.
They found one or two base
balls in the pockets of Collins,
Second Baseman Stu Martin,
Shortstop Leo Durocher and Third
Baseman Pepper Martin. The UNI
pires reinstated Moore.
The old Giants won, 2 to /.

CLEVELAND. July 81. - Ellis
Ryan, president of the Indians
today was trying to explain the
gift of a pair of binoculars to Steve
O'Neill, Red Sox manager.
O'Neill was handed the glasses
at small ceremony Saturday be-
fore some $4,000 fans at Municipal
Stadium. The presentation was
made by two men described as
citizens of nearby Erie, Pa.
Will Harridge, American League
president, wants to know who put
the two up to it. O'Neill on Friday
had complained that the Indians
were stealing signals from his
catchers. The Tribe, O'Neill
claimed, had a telescope in the

Roy and Earle Mack
Expect 10 Buy As
Soon for 81 Million
by the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Roy
and Earle Mack expect to buy con-
trolling interest in the Athletics
franchise in about two weeks fol
50 million, Roy Mack said today.
The purchase will mean that ST.
year-old Connie Mack, father o1
the two, will remain as manager
of the team as long as he wants to
Roy added. Connie Mack has
been manager of the AS for SO
years.
A 30-day option has beer
granted to Roy and Earle by theil
half brother, Connie Mack, jr.
and others who own more than Sc
per cent of the clubs stock.
The others in the selling group
are Mrs. Connie Mack, ST., mother
of Connie. jr., and relatives of the
late Benjamin F. and Thomas
Shibe, former president of the
club. -...
Connie Keeps Stock.
Roy said the deal is being made
amicably in the interest of peace
in the organization. None of the
stock owned by Connie, ST., is to be
sold.
Announcement Of the pending
sale confirmed an exclusive story
obtained by the Associated Press
several weeks ago from Connie. jr.,
who had hinted "such a move is
possible"
The announcement. too, con-
firmed rumors that the club was
up for sale. The rumors, however
suggested that the Athletics would
be sold by the Macks to an out
side syndicate.
Roy, himself, said at the time
that the AS probably could be
bought for IS million.
Jim Clark. president and part
owner of the Philadelphia Eagles
of the National Football League
had indicated he was interested
in buying the AS.
Financial Difficulties.
"If this had been a good season
financially, we probably would have
gone along as we have been fol
several years having few quar-
rels but nothing that would have
brought us to the breaking point
Roy said.
1--WE made a lot Of money in the
last two seasons and we spent q
lot. This year we ran into finan-
cial difficulties and that's what
brought this about. Connie, jr.,
made some changes that he
thought would bring more fans
into the ball park. We didn't
think they would. but he had his
way"
Connie, jr., said that If the
option is not taken up in 80 days
and negotiations completed with
an extended period of As days, he
and his associates would have the
right to buy out his half brother
at the same per-share price.
