Mats Strategy Bockfires,
SO Indians Extend Streak
Cleveland Hoping for
Best Against Yonks
BY the Assoeioted Press

Overshadowed by the rip-roar-
ing Yankees, the hopeful Cleve.
land Indians are brewing their
own private little winning streak
and if they can nurse it to the
boiling point by the week end.
there may yet be some excite
ment in the American League
pennant race.
The Second-place Indians, 5l1
games back of the champions,
have won seven out of eight and
six in a row on their current
home stand against the Eastern
clubs. They have two more
games with Washington before
the Yanks come in Friday night
for a four-game series.
While the New Yorkers have
been blowing down most of their
opponents with amazing ease in
winning dozen straight, the In
dianS have had to scramble all
the way. Three Of their vic
tories, including last nights 81
squeaker over the Mats have been
by one-run margins. And in
five of the games they have had
to come from behind, or break
a tie, to win,
They're Hot on Sunday.
The Clevelanders looked pitt
full in losing their first three
games with New York this sea-
son. But with. Bob Lemon. Bobby
Feller and Mike Garcia all pitch
ing in fine form recently, the
forthcoming series might pro-
duce something different. One
thing in the Indians favor is the
Sunday double header. They've
won IL Sunday games in a row.
The Detroit Tigers tried
nightly to. expand their one
game winning streak at the
expense of the Yankees last
night, but failed, 80, when Tom
German stopped them after they
had chased Vic Raschi.
In another night game, Chica-
go climbed back into a third
place tie with Washington by de-
feating Philadelphia, 5-1, on a
three-hit effort by Billy Pierce.

Intentional Pass and
Windup Fail to Click
BY Burton Howkins
Star Stoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND. June 10.-Bucky
Harris has vivid memories of
putting the winning run on base
with an intentional walk-a cal
culated gamble which twice has
backfired in important games
but he isn't cured. The Mats
manager says, Under the same
circumstances I'd do it again and
hope for better luck"
Harris has plenty of justiflca-
ton for the move that led to his
teams 81 loss to the Indians
last night, but it's certain to pro-
vide conversational fodder for
amateur StrategistS who recall
the 1947 World Series. In that
series, with Bill Bevens appar-
emily on his way to a no-hitter
against the Dodgers, Harris Or
dered Pete Reiser, representing
the winning run, passed. Along
came Cookie Lavagetto to break
up the game with a two-run
double.
Bucky made two moves in a
dramatic eighth inning last night
and both turned out to be costly,
but he had logic functioning for
him in each instance.
Schmitz ClingS to Lead.
The Mats held a 10 lead in
the bottom of the eighth inning
as the result Of Mickey Vernon'S
fourth-inning home run off Bob
Lemon and the polished pitch
ing of Johnny Schmitz. Vernon's
smash was the Mats last hit
they got only two-and SchmitZ
was protecting his scant lead
with a brilliant effort.
But Dale Mitchell opened the
Indians eighth with a single and
Bobby Avila sacrificed. Larry
Dolby popped out and Harris Or
dered the dangerous AL Rosen
walked to bring up Wally West
lake, a less serious threat.
Westlake's grounder through
the box was knocked down by
Shortstop Pete Runnels and
Harry Simpson, running for
Mitchell, was forced to pull up
at third, filling the bases.

Sior StaH Correspondent

PITTSBURGH, June 1O.-Ben
Hogan proved on the front nine
today that yesterdays back all
ment was something very tenn
porary as he posted three-un-
der-par SO in the National Open
golf tournament. He was play
ing the difficult Pittsburgh Field
Club course, with its tight fair
ways and hard, fast greens.
Meantime, Jimmy Clark, 81
Near-old pro from Laguna Beach.
Calf. set a competitive course
record of 66 on the fearful Ook-
mont Country Club course to
take the early lead in the quail
flying round. Clark, who had q
72 at the Field Club in yester-
days first round, carded 1872
66 for two-day total of 1873.
Hogan pulled a muscle on the
seventh hole in shooting II at
Oakmont yesterday. but an os-
teopath treated him at his hotel
last night and found Ben had
two vertebrae dislocated just un-
der his neck. They we're snapped
into place and he said he felt as
good as new.
Hogan Gets Three BRIDES.
Hogan had six pars and three
brides at the Field Club and
his outgoing 33 was the second
best nine at that club. Jay
Hebert had a 80 there yesterday,
but was 10 strokes higher coming
back.
Clark's score today shattered
Oakmont's long standing COM
petitive record of 81. although
the home club pro, Lew Wor-
sham, has made a IS on the par
37-35-72 layout.
The Virginia-born Clark, a
Marine sergeant in World War
II. putted spectacularly, sinking
20-footers for brides on the fifth
and seventh holes. He used only
26 puts on the round, one-putt-
ing 10 greens.
He laid approach shots dead to
the pin on the 10th and 17th,
finishing birdie -birdie-par. Yes
terday, in carding his u at the
Field Club, he went three over
par on the last two holes.
Most of the big names were
still taking it easy today and
being content with a score just
good enough to get them in the
low $50 when the championship
starts tomorrow.
