In 1859 Terry was traded

later he compiled a 1913 rec
ord. but threw the home-run
ball to Bill MaZeroski that gave
Pittsburgh the World Series
Last year he was 1873 al
though sidelined for a time
But he lost his one Series start
against Cincinnati.
Now he seems finally to have
arrived. He's been healthy all
year and has stepped in as
Ralph Houk's big winner. The
victory against the Indians was
his third shutout and his 18th
complete game, bringing his
record to 1910.
The triumph, halting the
world champions longest skid
since they lost six in a row from
September 1928, 1858, boosted
the Yankee league lead to 8 ?
games over second-place Los
Angeles and third-place Min
neSota. both idle last night.

To those who were asking
if the Yankees ever had lost
five-game series in recent
years, it happened in 1859 in
Boston, just after the first ALL
Star game. The Red Sox scored
SIS runs on 85 hits in the Sc
ries, won all five games and
knocked the Yankees out of
the pennant race.
The Senators may be in last
place, but they might qualify
as the No. crepe hangers of
1862. The double-header they
swept from the Twins last
Thursday was the biggest blow
of the season to the Twins
pennant hopes. After the
Orioles had beaten the YAM
KEGS Sunday and the Tigers
had won the first game from
the Senators, some optimistS
in Detroit started looking Sc
riously at the gameS-behind
column. The Senators won the
second game.
Last night an enthusiastic
Baltimore baseball writer
pointed out that the Orioles
had gained seven games on the
Yankees in nine days, suggest
ing that nothing was impossi-
BILE. Whereupon Tom Cheney
blanked the Orioles.
Don Lock, who spent spring
training with the Yankees. says
Bob Turley is the best he has
ever seen at calling opposing
pitches. At this stage of
the season D. C. Stadium has
one of the only infields with
tall grass. 1t helped the Sen
ators greatly in the fourth in
ming last night when it slowed
down Gus Triandos' grounder
enough for Hamlin to make
the put out with two on. How
ever. it helped the Orioles in
the fifth, enabling Russ Snyder
to beat out a slowed-up bunt.
/ Jackie Brandt, not good
enough to make the Orioles
outfield, could be Baltimore's
No. l trading bait during the
off-seaSon. Umpire John
Rice did not wish Jim King
a happy birthday last night
when he called him out at first
in the eighth. Jim appreciated
the cake before the game. but
would have welcomed a base
hit even more.

Walt Aston, manager Of the
Dodgers and a knowledgeable
observer Of the National League
scene. views it this way:
II can't see any club run
ming away with the pennant.
Frankly, I don't think it will
be decided until the last week
of the season"
Could be, but there might
be an interesting development
or two to follow between now
and the late September
stretch. For example, the
three-game series opening to-
night at Los Angeles between
Alston's front-running Dodgers
and Cincinnati's resurgent
Reds.
Tonight's Dodgers Reds
opener is the first shot in a
To-day scrimmage involving the
leagues big three-Los Angeles,
runnerup San Francisco and
third-place Cincinnati.
Face Giants Next
After the set at Dodger Sta
dium. the Reds travel north
for three games against the
Giants. After that comes a
four game scramble between
the Giants and Dodgers at Los
Angeles. The only remaining
action among the top three is a
two-game Reds-GiantS' series
at Cincinnati September 1918.
There were no games in the
National League yesterday.
The Reds, surprise pennant-
winners last season and just as
surprising this year with their
recent three week upward
zoom, saw that climb stalled
at least temporarily by Sun
days double header loss to
Houston. But by winning 18 of
their last % starts. they've
gained plenty of ground-com-
ing from 10 games back of the
Dodgers to 4 p behind.
