Lopat Records Latest Whitewash As Yanks Return to First Division

NEW YORK Even the Yankees would admit theyve had a disappointing season to date. But they do one thing better than any team in baseball blank the opposition. With Ed Lopat spinning a five-hitter Sunday for his 20th career shutout, the Bombers subdued the Red Sox, 7-0, to move back into the first division of the American League. It was New Yorks fourth straight win, three coming via whitewash. Yankee hurlers lead the majors with nine, three fewer than their loop-leading total of 12 last season. Joe DiMaggio and Bobby Brown drove in runs in the first inning to give Lopat a 2-0 lead. Yogi Berras eighth home run and Browns RBI double made it 4-0 in the third. Lopats run-scoring single capped the Yankees scoring in the eighth. Lopat (8-4) fanned five and walked two in notching his fourth win in five decisions. Boston starter Mel Parnell (7-5) allowed five runs in 6 1/3 innings in losing his first game to New York in three starts in 1951. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the American League: The Tigers, masters of the nail-biter, swept the league-leading Indians in a doubleheader, 4-3 and 2-1. Detroit is 12-4 in one-run games this season, the best such record in the majors. Bob Cain held the host Tribe to three hits over seven innings, and Hal White finished with two scoreless innings of relief to record his major league-leading sixth save as the Tigers won the opener. Dick Kryhoski knocked in two runs with a double and homer, and Vic Wertz belted his fifth long ball in seven games for Detroit. Cain (3-2) had a no-hitter until giving up a single to Bobby Avila in the sixth. Bob Feller (6-4), touched for four runs in 6 2/3 innings, took the loss. Ted Gray (7-7) went seven strong innings in the nightcap to beat the route-going Bob Chakales (2-1). Wertz and George Kell knocked in the Detroit runs. Dick Fowler fired his second consecutive shutout in the first game, and Gus Zernial cracked his 19th home run and drove in three runs in the second as the As swept the visiting Senators, 2-0 and 7-1. Fowler (5-2) fired a four-hitter and singled home a run. Bob Hooper (7-4) hurled a six-hitter in the second game. Zernial is tied for the A.L. lead in home runs. Orestes Minoso had two hits and two RBI in a 6-3 win in the opener, and Ned Garver spun a seven-hitter to win the nightcap, 6-1, as the host White Sox and Browns split a doubleheader. Garver (5-6) improved to 2-0 against the Sox this year. Chicago slugger Eddie Robinson drove in three runs without benefit of a hit in the twin bill. His 68 RBI lead the majors.

Newcombe, Hodges Continue Winning Ways Against Phillies

BROOKLYN Youd never know that Don Newcombe started the season with a sore arm, or Gil Hodges with a brittle bat. Newcombe, who missed his opening day assignment with an ailing soup bone, hurled a sixhitter Sunday, and Hodges, who scuffled through April and May, poled a homer and had two RBI as the Dodgers beat the Phillies, 5-1. Hodges, who has 10 homers and 40 RBI since June 1, is one of three Brooks voted into the starting National League lineup for the July 10 All-Star game. It wouldnt be a shock if Newcombe made it a foursome. Big Newk (9-4) leads the majors with 12 complete games and 133 2/3 innings pitched. He has won his past five decisions. Duke Snider had an eighth-inning single to extend his hit streak to 23 games, longest in the majors this season and four short of Ducky Medwicks team record. Loser Russ Meyer (7-4) allowed one unearned run on two hits in 6 2/3 innings. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Hal Jeffcoat had five hits in the opener, and Johnny Wyrostek delivered a tie-breaking single during a six-run rally in the bottom of the eighth in the nightcap as the Cubs and Reds split. Jeffcoat scored three runs and Frankie Baumholtz had three RBI an 11-5 Cubs win in the first game. The late Cincy rally made a 7-4 winner of Howie Fox (3-8) in the second. Don Muellers RBI single in the 11th gave the Giants a 5-4 win over the host Braves. Bobby Thomson hit his major-league leading 20th home run for New York. Red Munger (4-3) and Al Brazle combined on a three-hitter as the host Cardinals beat the Pirates, 5-3. Loser Howie Pollet (2-5) allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings in his first start against his former team.

Notes on the Scorecard

Cards Activate Marion, Recall Two From Farm

ST. LOUIS (AP) The Cardinals on Sunday put manager Marty Marion back on the active player list, recalled two other players, and sent pitcher Cloyd Boyer and outfielder Jay Van Noy back to the minors. The club recalled outfielder Hal Rice from Rochester of the International League and brought up pitcher John Crimian from Columbus of the American Association. Rice was hitting .330 for Columbus. The New York Giants traded outfielder Johnny Jorgensen and pitcher Frank (Red) Hardy to the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast League for outfielder Earl Rapp. A lefthanded batter, Rapp was obtained chiefly for pinch-hitting duties. At Oakland, he hit .332 in 83 games. Former Yankees relief star Joe Page turned in four solid innings as the Kansas City Blues beat Indianapolis 4-1 to complete a doubleheader sweep. Page started the nightcap after a months absence because of a sore arm. He gave up one run in four innings and received credit for the win. Pages fastball had more zip than at any time since he joined the Blues and he was throwing with a noticeably freer motion.

All-Stars of 1933 Still Shine Brightest of All

By Oscar Fraley NEW YORK, N.Y. (U.P.) Baseball is looking ahead to the 18th All-Star game at Detroit on July 10, but looking back on the first one in 1933 causes wonder as to whether the current crop will measure up to the standards set by those stars 18 years ago, Five of those old heroes are dead and most of them have departed from the big league scene. But 10 of them will live forever in the games Hall of Fame and eight of their number are still active in the major leagues. That first one in this All-Star series, at Chicagos Comiskey Park on July 6, 1933, was an all-time keynote. The big man, Babe Ruth was on his way down then, but he still had that immortal thunder in his bat. His two-run blast over the wall decided the issue. The Babe is gone almost three years now, joining four others of that first All-Star cast who preceded him. John McGraw, the Little Napoleon who managed the National League team, was the first. McGraw didnt live another year after that inaugural, dying on Feb. 25, 1934 at the age of 60. Eight Still Around The next to go was Lou Gehrig, the Iron Horse of the Yankees, who died June 2, 1941 at

the age of 38. After him, in 1946, went 42-yearold Tony Lazzeri, and, in 1947, 46-year-old Jimmy Wilson. But the rest are still around, watching with longing eyes as men with willing muscles carry on a contest which has become a tradition. Eight of them are still on the big-league scene Connie Mack, despite his 88 years; Joe Cronin, Jimmy Dykes, Bill Dickey, Frankie Frisch, Lon Warneke, Carl Hubbell and Tony Cuccinello. Mack is in virtual retirement after stepping down this year from his dugout managerial perch but still maintains a front office connection with the Philadelphia Athletics. Cronin is general manager of the Boston Red Sox; Hubbell is farm director of the New York Giants and Warneke, the old Arkansas hummingbird, is a National League umpire. Four of the inaugurating old guard still pull on the footless stockings every day. Two of them are managers. The bombastic Dykes runs

the Athletics and the still fiery Frisch pulls the strings of the Chicago Cubs. Dickey is a coach with the Yankees and Cuccinello handles the same chores with the Cincinnati Reds. All-Star Members The current crop will have to really turn it on to match that 1933 All-Star aggregation. Those jealously guarded honors have gone to Ruth, McGraw, Gehrig, Frisch, Mack, Hubbell, Pie Traynor, Charlie Gehringer and Jimmy Foxx. Many of the others are still being considered for the hall at Cooperstown Lefty Gomez, Al Simmons, Ben Chapman, Wes Ferrell, Rick Ferrell, Sam West, Paul Waner, Chick Hafey, Bill Terry, Gabby Hartnett, Alvin Crowder, Earl Averill, Hal Schumacher, Bill Hallahan, Pepper Martin, Dick Bartell, Chuck Klein, Lefty ODoul, Woody English and Wally Berger. All of them wont make it, naturally, but it was quite a crop which showed its collective wares that opening All-Star day in 1933. The boys of today will have to go all out to get anywhere within shouting distance on an overall basis.
