Dorish Does Double Duty; ChiSox Vanquish Senators, Supplant Tribe

CHICAGO Via methods both proven and unforeseen, the White Sox lambasted the Senators, 16-2, on Thursday to wrest first place in the American League from the Cleveland Indians. Harry Dorish went the route in his first start of the season, holding the Nats to two runs. No surprise there Chicago leads the American League in ERA at 3.70. But Dorish also joined in the offensive revelry, and that was a stunner. He knocked in four runs (more than in four previous seasons combined) with two singles and a double. It marked just the second time in 1951 that Cleveland has sat lower than first; the ChiSox unseated the Tribe on both occasions. Chicago mauled Washington starter Julio Moreno (2-3), who was driven to cover after allowing seven runs in 1 1/3 innings. Eddie Robinson poled a two-run homer in the first. He added an RBI fly ball out in a five -run second to help the White Sox to a 7-0 lead. Robinson leads the majors with 49 RBI. The Senators struck for two runs in the sixth, but the Sox countered with five in the seventh and four in the eighth. Dorish (4-1) retired nine of the final 10 Washington hitters for his seventh career complete game. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the American League: Bob Hooper continued his Tribe-killing ways with a seven-hitter as the visiting Athletics knocked the Indians out of first place, 6-2. In five games against Cleveland, Hooper is 2-0 with one save and an 1.84 ERA. The Indians led 2-0 through four innings. But Eddie Joost tripled home one run and scored another in the fifth. Hank Majeskis RBI double broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth, and Gus Zernials three-run homer secured the game in the ninth. Hooper (5-3) fanned two and walked two. Lou Brissie (2-4) allowed three runs in eight innings and took the loss. Ted Gray scattered 11 hits in eight innings and snapped a personal four-game losing streak as the host Tigers topped the Red Sox, 8-4. Gray (3-5) allowed two unearned runs in the top of the first inning, but his Detroit teammates responded with three runs in the bottom of the frame and a five-run rally, highlighted by Bud Souchocks three-run double, in the second. Chuck Stobbs (3-5) took the loss, allowing eight runs in 5 2/3 innings. Johnny Beros two-run double sparked a four-run rally in the seventh inning as the Browns rallied from a 7-0 deficit to shock the visiting Yankees, 10-7. Reliever Dick Starr (1-3) tossed two scoreless innings to record the win and snap the Browns six-game losing streak.

Koslo Blanks Reds, Loop-Leading Giants Keep Torrid Pace

NEW YORK You dont have to be Abner Doubleday to figure out why the Giants have the top record in baseball. They lead the National League in runs scored (5.6 per game) and they have the best ERA (3.61) in the bigs. Lately pitching has been key for New York. Thursday Dave Koslo was king of the hill as his two-hit shutout beat the Reds, 2-0. The Giants past five wins have come on complete games, including a pair of two-hitters and a four-hitter. They didnt need much offense against the Reds, and they didnt get much. Whitey Lockmans fly ball out scored Wes Westrum in the second inning, and Monte Irvins single scored Bobby Thomson in the eighth. It was the third career two-hitter for Koslo (20). Ken Raffensberger (2-8) was the hard-luck loser for Cincy. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Vern Bickford snapped a personal fourgame losing streak with a six-hit shutout as the Braves beat the visiting Pirates, 11-0. Bickford (4-7) struck out four, walked none and added an RBI fly ball out. Sid Gordon and Buddy Kerr had three RBI each for Boston. Bucs starter Mel Queen struck out the side in the first, then was removed after an 86-minute rain delay. Vern Law (4-2), the second of six Pittsburgh pitchers, took the loss, allowing three runs in 3 2/3 innings pitched. Solly Hemus tie-breaking pinch homer in the top of the 10th inning, the first homer of his major league career, gave the Cardinals a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Rookie Tom Poholsky (5-3) went the route for St. Louis, striking out seven and walking two. Brooks starter Preacher Roe held the Cards to two runs in nine innings. Clyde King (4-3) took the loss in relief. Pinch-hitter Bill Nicholson broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run double in the seventh, giving the host Phillies a 4-2 win over the Cubs. Bubba Church (5-3) scattered seven hits for his first complete game. The Cubs Johnny Klippstein (3-2), coming off a near-perfect game, allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings and took the loss.

Berra Beaned During Contest, Misses Game

ST. LOUIS (AP) Catcher Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees suffered a one-inch cut over his left eye in a relay throwing contest just before the game with the St. Louis Browns on Thursday night. The cut required three stitches and Charlie Silvera replaced Berra in the Yankee lineup. Yankee trainer Gus Mauch said the injury was not serious enough to keep Berra from playing in the important series starting tonight against the White Sox in Chicago. Berra and catcher Matt Batts of the Browns were receiving the throws in the pregame contest. Two throws arrived at about the same time and one of them glanced off Batts body, striking Berra above the eye. President Ford Frick of the National League fined manager Charley Dressen of the Dodgers $100 for refusing to leave the bench after being ejected from Wednesdays game against the Cardinals. Dressen was ejected in the fifth inning by umpire Art Gore for protesting a balls-andstrikes decision. Red Sox fans will give utility infielder Johnny Pesky a night July 24 in recognition of his ability and sportsmanship.

Giles: Chandlers Exit Slated For Next Week

NEW YORK (AP) Major league club owners appear certain to accept A.B. (Happy) Chandlers resignation as baseball commissioner at a special meeting here next week. Warren Giles, president of the Cincinnati Reds and a member of baseballs executive council, called Chandlers proposed severance pact very fair and declared he was sure the owners would approve it. Chandler on Thursday disclosed he had offered to resign provided the owners agreed to an indemnity clause protecting my entire worldly fortune from pending and future personal lawsuits arising from his baseball rulings. Chandler drew up the severance pact himself and handed it to me some time ago, Giles said. I gave it to the leagues attorneys, since it is a legal matter. Happy left the date of resignation blank which he will fill in himself subsequently. It is my guess Chandlers resignation will become official around all-star game time on July 10. Phillip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, agreed with Giles that Chandlers offer was reasonable. No surprise Chandlers resignation is not very surprisCHANDLER, Page 2

ing, he said. From his standpoint, he did the right thing. The owners did not vote to keep him, so, apparently, he wisely has found another position. Confirming a report of a club owners meeting at New York on June 14, Giles said he did not believe a successor to Chandler would be discussed then. The silver-haired Cincinnati executive, a proChandlerite, vehemently denied a report that Chandler will be paid a bonus of $25,000 for income tax payment in addition to his $65,000 for the remaining year of his contract when he resigns. Chandlers decision not to hold the fort until the end of his contract reportedly came on receipt of an offer of a job with Mutual Broadcasting System in some official capacity. Chandler has declined to comment on it.
