Wakefield Batting Stars
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10-(P)-
Paul (Dizzy) Trout, the Detroit Ti-
gers' hard-working hurler, register-
ed his 18th triumph of the season to-
night to give the Tigers a 3 to 2 vic-
tory over the Washington' Senators.
Dizzy pitched a five-hitter, but he
was hard pressed, for Johnny Nig-
geling also hurled five-hit ball. In
fact, the Tigers took an extra inning
to clinch their seventh straight vic-
tory, after having trailed the Na-
tionals for five innings.
The Senators, who have lost 16 of
their last 23 games, took a two-run
lead in the opening inning. Detroit
got a run in the third, but did not tie'
it up until the seventh when Dick
Wakefield hoisted out a circuit clout.
Wakefield also scored the winning
run in the tenth. He opened with a
walk and Pinky. Higgins singled to
left, sending Wakefield to third.
Richards walked, filling the bases.
Rudy York, who has been out of the
lineup with an injury, batted for Joe'
Hoover, and he lined to Joe Powell,
Wakefield scoring after the catch to
give Detroit 13 wins in 15 games with
Washington.
Trout scored the Tigers' first run
in the third. He had walked. Cra-
mer's double off the right field score
board sent the Tiger hurler to third.
Then Mayo grounded out to Kuhel,
Trout scoring on the play.
The Tigers will seek their third
straight victory over the Nationals
tomorrow night with Prank (Stub)
Overmire on the mound.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10-St. Louis
3l, but eliminated the New York
Yankees from the American league
race today as Denny Galehouse shut
out the Yanks with six singles.
Galehouse hung up his fifth suc-
cessive win after losing three' starts
in early season when he was a Sun-
day tosser on part time from a de-
fense plant. Only one Yankee, John-
ny Lindell in the seventh reached
second base as the champs suffered
their eighth whitewash and dropped
9112 games behind the flying Brown-
ies.
Al Zarilla, who won yesterday's
series opener with a homer, drove in
the first score for the league leaders
with a fourth inning single to center
after Gene Moore bounced a double
into the left field stands.
It was Galehouse's first shutout1
and the 12th for the St. Louis staff.
Three of them against the New York
Yanks.

Chicago Pulls Triple

BOSTON, Aug. 10-('P)--The Bos-
ton Red Sox took Chicago 2 to 1 to-
day but the White Sox stole the show'
with a triple play, their second of
the season against the Boston Club.
The triple play came in the fourth
inning after the Red Sox filled the
bases on successive singles by Pete
Fox, Bob Johnson and Bobby Doerr.
Ralph Hodgin made a beautiful
glove-hand catch of Jim Tabor's line
drive just inside third, then stepped'
on the base to put out Fox and threw
to Ed Carnett at first to catch
Doerr.
Lou Finney left the game in the
first inning after injuring his left
hand while tagging Wally Moses. Hal
Trosky remained out of the Chicago
lineup because of a wrenched knee.
Chicago's lone tally was in the
sixth with two out when Carnett
came in on Thurman Tucker's triple.

Pirates Make It Two
Straight Over Giaiits
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 10-U)--The
Pittsburgh Pirates made it two
straight over the New York Giants
today, this time by a 10 to 4 score,
but Rip Sewell, their ace pitcher,
wasn't around to claim the victory.
Sewell, winner of only two of pre-
vious eight starts, hurled the first
four and two-thirds' inning but then
his lame arm weakened and Preach-
er Roe took over.
The winners counted six times on
five hits and two walks in the third
and coasted the rest of the way.
Frank Coleman homered in the fifth
with the bases empty.j

over the plate in the ninth, when he

EX HUGHSON, the Red Sox hurler, goes off to war today, and his
farewell to baseball for the duration was a brilliant four hit 9-1 victory
over the Chisox.
The game marked Hughson's 18th win of the season and his fifth
against Chicago in the 1944 race. Hughson also banged out two singles
in his valedictory salute for a loyal home crowd gathering of 11.215 fans.
Hughson in chalking up his 18th win, became the second hurler in one
night to accomplish this feat. Hal Newhouser, the Tiger ace, shares this
same honor along with Hughson. After the game, Hughson expressed satis-

CUILENBINE OUT ATTEMPTING STEAL... Rightfield Roy Cul-
lenbine of Cleveland slides futilely toward second base as LeRoy
Schalk, Chicago White Sox second, baseman, slips the ball on him
for an out in the first game ,of a doubleheader (Aug. 3) at Comiskey

play. Umpire Bill McGowan watches. Chicago won the first game,

faction and said, "I am willing to call it quits for the time being."
The Red Sox right hander, according to all reports, is a real
fanatic when it comes to baseball. Emmett O'Neil, the Red Sox
rookie, roomed with Tex on the last Western jaunt and reported it
was "just like living with a phonograph." However, it was notice-
able that O'Neil pitched better ball after association with Hughson.
"I honestly believe," said O'Neil one day, "that he'd get up at mid-
night and pitch if he thought there was a game going on."
Hughson's treasure chest of memories are indeed numerous, but there
are a few experiences which stand out most prominently in his mind.
There was that time in Louisville in 1941 when manager Bill Burwell put
him into the game in the ninth to hold a one run lead. Minneapolis had
the bases loaded with two out and slugger Phil Weintraub, now playing
with the Giants, was at bat. Burwell told Hughson not to work on Wein-
traub but to concentrate only on throwing the ball past him. Hughson
timidly replied, "I will if my knees stop knocking together."
There was another game. in 1941, Hughson's first year with the
Red Sox, when there were men on first and second for the opposition
and catcher Peacock hitting with Hughson on deck. Manager Joe
Cronin told Tex, "If you could hit, I'd have this guy bunt and let you
swing, but I guess I'd better let Peacock take a full swing." Peacock
walked to fill the bases, and then Hughson drove in two runs with
a :timel.single. "I guess I told Cronin when I got to first," grinned
Hughson.
A very short time ago, Hughson was gunning for number 17,
but the Tribe managed to pummel him for eleven hits and plenty of
runs. After the game, he admitted he had gone to a blood bank the
day before and figured that it was the heat which caused his downfall.
At the time of his departure, Hughson leads the American League,
if not the majors, with 112 strikeouts. Hughson is one of those pitchers
who appears on the horizon once in a lifetime . . . always ready and
willing.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9-Pro foot-
ball seems to be suffering from
growing pains, and it is to be hoped
it comes through them as happily as
did the major baseball leagues.
The current ache involves the
question of whether or not Dean
McAdams, a halfback, signed a con-
tract with the Seattle club of the
new West Coast American League
while still the property of the Wash-
ington Redskins of the ' National
League.
Regardless of the merits or de-
meritst of this case, it gives a clue
to what might happen through too
sudden expansion and a cut-throat,
ethics-be-darned attitude toward the
signing of athletes.
The National League, firmly estab-
lished and kith a corner on the name
players currently available, naturally
would resent any tampering with its
signed and sealed performers, and its
rules provide stern punishment for
any guilty parties.
This puts the new coast organiza-
tion in a rather tough spot, since,
unless it can make contact with re-
turned service men who have no pro
league affiliations before the Na-
tional League clubs get around to it,
and can offer proper financial in-
ducements, it must be content withy
the scrapings of the bin.
However, the west coast group, pos-
sibly resenting the self-appointed
authority of the older circuit, might
feel it is able to stand alone, defying
the National League. In such a case
it would feel no qualms about ap-
proaching players under contract to
National League teams and offering
them more juicy terms. And if the
players were convinced the new
league was sound and would provide
steady employment for the duration
of their playing careers they might
shift their loyalty. It might be an
outlaw league so far as the National
League was concerned, but, the
money would be inlaw, you might
say.
The American baseball league was
founded in much the same manner.
The American League prospered
and forced the recognition of the
National. Whether or not the west
coast football league could use the
same methods and force recognition
is problematical. Aside from the
player angle, there is no conflict
since at least for the present there
is no territorial infringement.
