What's with Johnny Podres,
the shrewd southpaw who can
tie a modern major league rec
ord by striking out eight con-
secutive batters and can hurl
perfect ball for 625 innings,
but is unable to pitch a full
nine innings?
That was the puzzling prob
lem confronting the Dodgers
today after they regained first
place in the National League
last night by whipping Phila-
delphia, ST. and 40, behind
the sparkling pitching efforts
turned in by Podres and Stan
Williams.
PodreS, whose medical his
tory starts with a mysterious
back ailment and runs through
appendicitis, rib injury. pulled
tendon and auto accident, tied
the strikeout record set by Mil
waukee's Max Surkont in 1853,
and had a perfect game until
two were out in the seventh.
An inning later he was
standing under a shower.

inability to go the distance
now extends. through IL
straight games and has be-
come a matter of chief con-
Germ. Off his 1875 record last
year, this figured to be his

Take Dick Donovan away
from the Indians and they very
well could be floundering
around in the middle of the
second division.
As it is, the hopeful Tribe is
just a half game off the Amer
lean League pace being set by
the Yankees and Angels. And
it may be back on the right
track principally because of
Donovan.
The Indians, in the throes of
a five-game losing string that
had knocked them out Of first
place, called on Donovan to be
the stopper last night.
The tall Highlander, &C
quired in the off-season in the
trade that sent fiery Jim Pier
sail to Washington, responded
with a brilliant two-hit, 20
triumph over Baltimore in
which he faced the minimum
81 batters.
The victory pushed his rec
ord to 1873, which, subtracted
from the Indians 1924 season
mark, would put Cleveland be-
low 500 and in seventh place.
Yankees Still on Top
New York and Los Angeles
remained a half-game up on
the Indians, the Yankees beat
ing Kansas City, "a, and the
Angels edging Washington. 2-1.
1t left the Yankees with a
four-percentage point hold on
first place. Minnesota lost to
Boston, 4-3, and went IL
games off the pace, while De-
treit edged Chicago, 81.
Donovan struck out six and
didn't walk any in his MASTER
piece against the Orioles. He
allowed only Whitley Herzog to
reach base and twice Herzog
was cut down as Donovan re-
corded his third Shutout of
the season. His 18th victory
put him in a tie with Mime
sofas Camilo Pascual as the
American Leagues winningest
pitcher.
Herzog singled to deep short
in the fourth, but Donovan got
Brooks Robinson to hit into a
double play. Herzog singled
through the middle in the sew
enth, but was cut down trying
to steal.
Willie Tasby's eighth inning
home run broke up a scoreless
duel with Baltimore's Steve
Barber $3.50, who allowed only
three hits in the 725 innings
he worked.

points, give or take couple"
The "other fellow" had to be Luis
Aparicio, and there were complaints from
members Of the Twins, Angels and Sena-
tors about his landslide, 100 votes to 81 for
fresh.
One Of the Twins, who shall be nameleSS,
put 1t this way the other afternoon:
This is guy hitting .233 and, for all
his speed, he hasn't scored any more runs
than Earl Battey, our catcher, and hasn't
batted in any more runs than our pitcher,
Camilo PaScual How can he be on the
All-Star team?"
EVEN THE WHITE SOX, for whom
Aparicio has toiled with distinction in the
past, must have been surprised by the choice
OF Luis, especially by such humping mar
gin. Once the apple Of Manager AL Lopez

than one occasion this season for failure
to hustle" He has become cratic in the
field, this once nearly flawless artist. and

as much ShortStop for the Sox as the ALL

The All-Star voting for the starting

after his hit because of inter-

The spring is missing from
the Senators bats and in the
absence of the home run ball
Ken Hamlin is giving the club
the feeble punch that it has
with his walks, his base hits
and his hustle.
The Senators have hit only
one home run in the seven
games of this home stand and
for the last two games have
been outhomered, six to none.
Steve Bilko's fifth and Bob
Rodgers fourth gave Los An
geleS a 81 victory last night
before 1926.
The amazing Angels, who
won for the ninth time this
season in their last time at
bat, will pitch Ted Bowsfield
and 30 Belinsky against Dave
Stenhouse and Tom Cheney in
tomorrow'S holiday double
header.
Wagner Saves Victory
The Angels remained within
four percentage points Of the
Yankees with last nights vic
tory. Two of their starters
we're batting less than 200, but
this completely unpredictable
club won because Leon Wag-
ner, the league leader in home
runs, saved the victory with a
spectacular catch off Jim King
with the bases loaded in the
seventh. Wagner raced to the
fence in right and with his
back to the plate hauled down
Kings bid for a triple.
Hamlin drove in the Sena-
tors only run with a solid
single to left in the seventh.
He also singled to short center
in the fifth with Bob johnson
on second, but johnson was
cut down at the plate.

He walked in the ninth and

that inning as the Senators
won, So. The next day his
sacrifice fly In the ninth drove

3-1 victory.
In addition, Ken's fielding
has been excellent and he has
added hustle to the infield.
Angels Get Four Hits
Hamlin was benched when
the Senators brought up Ed
Brinkman and he wanted to
know why. He was the Sena-
tors shortstop in their five
game winning streak in June.
He is hitting .249 and has only
one extra base hit, but If
everybody matched his contri-
buttons the Senators would
have fewer troubles.
The pesky Hamlin made a
bid to put the tying run on base

HOMERS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN
HomIin Only Bright Light
In Senator'S Puny Attack

Angels are winning with
smart, alert baseball and the
genius moves of Manager Bill
Rigney, and some who say they
are the luckiest team in base
ball. Last night you'd have to
say they were fortunate.
Yost RObs Schaive
After Ken Retzer singled in
the seventh and Bud Zipfel
moved him to third with a sin
gle with one out, Hamlin scored
Retzer with mis- shot. Zipfel,
moving on the pitch, went to
third.
Manager Mickey Vernon sent
Joe Hicks to hit for Burnside
and Rigney countered by
bringing in the lefthanded Jack
Spring. Vernon withdrew Hicks
and sent up righthanded John
Schaive, who fouled off several
pitches and then drove a shot
toward third. Eddie Yost
caught it to keep from being
beheaded and threw out
Schaive.
After Danny O'Connell was
passed Intentionally, King
laced his liner, which Wagner
caught. Spring pitched to two
men and retired them both on
balls hit as hard as either of
the Angels home runs. But the
Angels won the game.
NOTES-Chuck Hinton won
the suit from Bruce Hunt as
player-of -the-month for June.
The vote was unanimous by
those covering the Senators.
BelinSky did not pitch
against the Yankees because of
a pulled leg muscle. Presi-
dent Pete Quesada will be host
