sHOcKING' CHOICE PAYS OFF
StengeI Calls on Byrne

Rip Coleman were taking the

series in Cleveland last night.
The result was a So Yankee VIC

first place by ~ games over
the White Sox. who dropped a
6-1 decision to the Senators.
Tonight, however. Stengel will
turn to his star performer to
turn back the Indians. Tommy
Byrne, who has a 1873 mark. will
go against the Indians ace, Bob
Lemon $3.50.

mound selection a "shocker."
but the southpaw from Troy.
N. Y, certainly proved the exc
cutioner for one night, at least.
The loss dropped Cleveland two
full games behind New York.
Wynn Sent to Showers
The audacity of Stengel's
choice is emphasized by the fact
that Early Wynn was the Cleve-
land starter, and he was seeking
his fourth victory over the YAM
KEGS. But Wynn was hustled to
the showers in the second inning
after allowing four runs.
More heat was taken Of the
Yankees when the best the
Red Sox could do
was a split in a double-header
with the Tigers. Detroit won the
opener. 6-1. and Boston grabbed
the nightcap. GA, falling five
games behind New York. In the
other American League game.
the Athletics whipped the ORR
oles, 90.
National League action was
spotlighted at Ebbets Field
where the Dodgers were slapped
down by Cincinnati. 8-5 and SIS.
1t was the first time Brooklyn
had lost a double-header this
year. and, coupled with Milwau-

DUKE SNYDER SAYS
|DODGER FANS DON'T
DESERVE REMNANT

BROOKLYN, Aug. IS P).
Brooklyn fans don't de-
serve the National League
pennant, in the opinion Of
Duke Snider, the Dodgers
centerfielder. whose average
has dropped from 1871 to
.299.
There were boos from
the stands last night as
Snider collected only one
hit in two losing games to
the Redlegs. It was the first
time this season the Dodg-
ers had lost a double-header.
"They are the worst fans
in BASEBALL. Snider said after
the game, they don't de-
serve the pennant." Then
he added: "That is why we
are going to Jersey City
next year."
The Dodgers will play
seven Of their games in Jer-
sey City next year.
Snider, who led both
leagues in home runs for
more than three months this
season, hasn't hit a homer
since he connected twice
against the Cubs in Chicago

It's those possibilities that
make this stage of the PGA
championship about the most
exciting of the season.
Snead, Bolt, Fleck. Middlecoff,
Harbert and other big names
all are in the lower bracket and
only one of them can make the

to beat all the way. He's won
almost $4,000 on the tour this
year. practically all Of it within
