White-Hot Red Sox Pour it on, Trounce Tigers For 6th Straight
DETROIT The Red Sox All-Star contingent didnt fare so well at Briggs Stadium in the 18th annual Midsummer Classic. Dom DiMaggio, Bobby Doerr and Ted Williams went a combined 1-for-8, and Mel Parnell allowed what proved to be the decisive run in the National Leagues 4-3 triumph over the American League. That was a fanciful exhibition. Friday night the Red Sox returned for a game that counts, and affirmed themselves as the hottest team in baseball. Chuck Stobbs fired a complete game and DiMaggio went 2-for-5 to boost his hit streak to 19 games longest in the A.L. this year as the league-leading BoSox won their sixth game in a row, 13-3, over the Tigers. DiMaggio erased any hit streak drama early, doubling on the games first pitch. The next batter, Johnny Pesky, homered for a 2-0 Boston lead. The Sox doubled their lead in the second on Williams two-run single. Stobbs helped himself with a two-run single during a five-run rally in the fifth, and Clyde Vollmer had a two-run single in a four-run ninth inning. Stobbs (6-6) eased to his second consecutive complete game win. Detroits Marlin Stuart (2-3), making his first start of the year, allowed seven runs in four innings. Boston is a major league-best 13-5 since July 2. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the American League: Sam Zoldak scattered eight hits in a routegoing effort as the visiting As dealt the Indians their fifth straight loss, 7-3. Zoldak (4-3) not only hurled his fourth complete game in seven starts this season, he singled twice and scored the tie-breaking run during a three-run rally in the third inning. First baseman Lou Limmer and catcher Ray Murray both drove in two runs for Philly. Right fielder Elmer Valo singled and doubled to extend his hit streak to 13 games. Luke Easter hit his 16th home run for the Tribe. Cleveland starter Mike Garcia (9-7) allowed seven runs for the third time in four starts. Tom Morgan went the distance and won for the fifth time in the past month as the Yankees upended the host Browns, 7-2. Morgan (6-2) struck out a season-high six batters. Fellow rookie Gil McDougald had four hits and two RBI for the Yanks. St. Louis starter Ned Garver (7-7) allowed six runs in 1+ innings. Chico Carrasquel had a leadoff double and a two-run single in a seven-run sixth inning rally as the White Sox beat the visiting Senators, 7-2. Lou Kretlow (5-2) twirled a six-hitter. He is 4-0 with an 0.28 ERA against the Nats in 1951. Washington starter Sid Hudson fell to 4-6.

Campanellas Ninth Inning Single Lifts Dodgers, Roe

BROOKLYN For eight innings Cardinals starting pitcher Max Lanier had the Dodgers eating out of his hand. In the ninth, the Dodgers bit back. Roy Campanella singled home Pee Wee Reese with the game-winning run Friday night as league-leading Brooklyn edged St. Louis, 3-2. Campanella decided what had been a tense pitching duel between a pair of 35-year-old southpaws Lanier and the Brooks Preacher Roe. Roe fell behind instantly. Red Schoendienst led off the game with a single, and Enos Slaughter homered for a 2-0 lead. Brooklyns Gil Hodges tied the game with a two-run shot, his 20th round-tripper, in the fourth. And thats how it stood after eight innings 2-2, with Hodges circuit clout the Dodgers only hit. Reese opened the bottom of the ninth with a single to right field. Four batters and two relievers later, Campanella slapped a 3-1 pitch from Harry Brecheen into center field to snap Brooklyns three-game losing streak. Roe (11-3) allowed two runs in nine innings. Lanier (6-5) took the tough-luck loss. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Ralph Kiner belted a go-ahead two-run triple in the eighth inning as the Pirates edged the host Braves, 7-6, for their fourth straight win. Pittsburgh took a 5-1 lead after 2 innings with George Strickland driving in three runs. But the Braves rallied for a 6-5 lead in the sixth. Kiners eighth inning triple made a winner of reliever Bill Werle (5-6). Boston reliever Phil Paine (1-1) absorbed the defeat. Sal Maglie tossed a five-hitter and Bobby Thomson tagged his major league-leading 26th homer as the Giants beat the visiting Reds, 5-1. Willie Mays two-run triple opened the scoring in the first. Thomsons three-run clout gave the Giants a 5-0 advantage in the fourth. Maglie (11-7) turned in his ninth complete game. Ewell Blackwell (5-6) poled his second homer in four games for the Reds only run. Eddie Miksis lined a go-ahead three-run double in the sixth, leading the visiting Cubs to a 5-3 win over the Phillies. Chicagos Bob Rush (6-3) fired a five-hitter for his first win since June 10. Philly starter Russ Meyer (7-7) is 0-4 in his past five starts.

Lippy Re-Ups, Vows To Repay Stoneham

NEW YORK, N.Y. (U.P.) Leo Durocher signed a new $60,000 contract with the New York Giants on Friday and said he wanted to win a pennant for Horace Stoneham and the Giants more than Ive ever wanted to do anything in my life. Baseballs one-time bad boy signed his 1952 contract after a short conference with Stoneham. He took over as manager July 16, 1948, in the move that stunned the baseball world and brought about the rebuilding of the Giants. Its great, Durocher said. Great. And now I want to repay Mr. Stoneham for the wonderful association Ive had with the Giants. The fellows that Bill Veeck is considering to be the new manager of the St. Louis Browns are now working for other clubs, he revealed. This fact, that is what is slowing up the job of picking the new boss, Veeck explained. Under baseball rules, no player or manager can be approached by another team without the express permission of his present team. Thats been done in every case, said Veeck, but it all takes time. Branch Rickey, general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, has purchased an island in McGregor Bay near Little Current, Ont.

Dressen and Palica Shake Make Up?

NEW YORK (U.P.) In the face of a bitter outburst from pitcher Erv Palica, who was accused of being gutless, the Dodgers announced Palicas dispute with manager Charley Dressen was a great misunderstanding. Its all over now, said Dodger vice president Buzzy Bavasi. In a ceremony symbolizing burying the hatchet, manager Dressen and pitcher Palica solemnly and silently shook hands in the managers dressing room after Friday nights game. Just before that game got underway, Palica made his first explosive reply to the charge of gutless that Dressen tossed at him after Wednesdays loss to the Pirates. How much can a fellow take? he asked. Dressen keeps picking on me. If he gets on me just once more, Ill tell him where he can go and what he can do with his club. I do the best I can. If they dont like it they can lump it. Bavasi said the fury on the part of Palica was what the Dodgers hoped to evoke with the charges. Weve been trying to get Palica mad for the past few years, said Bavasi. Now we have succeeded and we are sure hell be a better pitcher for it. There are absolutely no hard feelings.
