Elbie Fletcher homered in the Tribes- men's first two runs in the first inning. Bickford, however, weakened in the ninth and put the first two batters aboard but Nelson Potter choked off the Dodgers' last ditch rally after their fifth scorer crossed the plate. The Tribesmen blasted starter Ralph Branca, who also was seek- ing his 11th triumph, out of ac- tion in the second. inning. Ervin Palica reliered him and Don New- combe finished up. Catcher Roy Campanella hit his 11th hocer for Brooklyn in the second. * * * PITTSBURGH -- (4') - Johnny Hopp's ninth inning single with the bases loaded to score Phil tVasi and Vddie Fitzgerald gave row. Murry Dickson, who pitched shutout ball for six innings, got credit for the win before a crowd of 32,983. The loss prevented the Cardinals from gaining a first place tie with Brooklyn. George Munger was coasting on a 3 to 1 lead going into the final inning when the Pirates slammed five consecutive singles without an out. Ted Wilks, who relieved Mun- ger, yielded the winning blow al- though Munger was charged with the loss. * * * CHICAGO - (A') - Bud Sou- chock's base-cleaning eighth inn- ing double gave the Chicago White Sox a 9-6 victory over the Cleve- land Indians before 24-444 per- sons last night. The victory, Chi- cago's fifth in as many games against the Indians here this sea- son, proved Satchell Paige's fifth 1949 loss. * * * WASHINGTON-(,')-Ellis Kin- der posted his eighth victory to- night as the Boston Red Sox de- feated Washington, 5-0, in a game called in the sixth inning due to rain. Kinder held the Senators- beaten in 11 of their last 14 games-to four hits as the Red Sox mauled Joe Haynes and Sid Hudson for eight safeties. Haynes, who left after three innings with a 2-0 deficit and a pulled muscle in his side, was the loser. Birdie Tebbetts had singled and moved to second on a passed ball with one out in the sixth when a downpour washed out the remain- ing innings.

NEW YORK--(A)-The Brook- lyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardi- nals, presently in a dog fight for the pennant, dominate the Na- tional League All-Star team-even to the extent of the pitching staff. Billy Southworth of the Boston Braves, who will manage the Na- tionals, picked eight hurlers. Three of them were Dodgers, and two of them Cardinals. * * * IN ALL THE Dodgers and Card- inals each landed seven players on the 26-man squad, which in- cluded first baseman Eddie Wait- kus of the Phillies, as an honorary member. Waitkus is recovering from a gun-shot wound inflicted by a crazed girl admirer. Another surprise nominee to the squad which meets the American League All-Stars in the 16th annual game at Brook- lyn's Ebbets Field next Tuesday is Ewell Blackwell, Cincinnati's righthander. Blackie, convalesc- ing from a kidney operation, has only one victory this year. As expected, Southworth chose Brooklyn's aces, Preacher Roe (8-2) and Ralph Branca (10-2) but his choice of Rookie Don New- combe (6-2) was another eyebrow lifter. The two Cardinal nominees were lefthander Howie Pollet (10- 5) and George Munger (6-3). ** * ROUNDING OUT the big pitch- ing eight are Warren Spahn (9-7) and Vern Bickford (10-4) of the Boston Braves, and Blackwell (1- 0). Only two were members of the 1948 National League team which was defeated at St. Louis, 5-2. They are Branca and Blackwell.t Ignored were two Philadelphia stalwarts with fine records this year, Ken Heintzelman (10-5) and Robin Roberts (9-6). Ken Raffensberger (8-6) of Cincin- nati, whose four shut outs leads the major leagues in that re- spect, also was passed up.. The rest of the team followed the dictates of the 4,637,743 fans who participated in the nation- wide poll. Southworth, bound only to use the starting players named in the poll, followed the vote all down the line. Pitchers were not chosen in the voting. * * * THE STARTERS, as chosen by the poll, will be Johnny Mize of the New York Giants, first base; Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn, second base; Rookie Eddie Kazak, St. Louis, third base; Pee Wee Reese, Brooklyn, shortstop; Ralph K~iner Scotsman Outshoots Rivals To Lead in British Golf Open of Pittsburgh, leading both majors in home runs with 21, Stan Musial, St. Louis, and Willard Marshall, New York, outfielders; and Andy Seminick, Philadelphia, catcher. Mize is the "veteran," having played with the Nationals in eight previous games. The Giants got four playersj on the squad, the champion Braves, the Reds and Phillies, two apiece, and the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh, one each. Blackwell tops the pitchers in number of inter-league classics. This will be his fourth All-Star game. Pollet, Munger and.Branca now are named to their third, and it is the second for Spahn. For Roe, Bickford and Newcombe, it will be their first shot against the Americans. AFTER MIZE, the next veteran is catcher Walker Cooper, recent- ly traded by the Giants to the Reds. Cooper was third choice among the receivers and is on the squad for the seventh time. Mu- sial, Enos Slaughter and Marty Marion of the Cardinals will be making their sixth showing, and it will be No. 5 for Reese. Andy Pafko, only member of the Cubs on the squad, and Al Schoendienst of the Cardinals are on the squad for the third time. Players making the team for the second time are Kiner, Marshall, Bob Thomson and Sid Gordon of the Giants, and Wait- kus, who has been invited to sit on the bench in civilian clothes. ST. LOUIS - (A') - Gerry Priddy singled pitcher Tom Fer- rick home with the winning run to give the St. Louis Browns a 13th inning 6 to 5 triumph over the Detroit Tigers last night. Detroit broke the tie in the 12th with a walk and two singles for one runb ut with two out in the last of that frame Jack Graham came up with his second homer of the game to send it along one more inning. Ten U.S. Track Stars inEurope LISBON - (')- Ten U.S. track and field stars arrived here yes- terday to begin a European tour that will carry them through Por- tugal, Ireland, Belgium and Nor- way. Headed by coach Larry Snyder of Ohio State, the group includes Mal Whitfield of Ohio State, Olympic 800 meter champion; Craig Dixon, U.C.L.A. hurdler; John Twomey, Illinois Athletic Club, 1,500 meters; Jim Fuchs, New York Athletic Club, shot put; Fortune Gordien, San Francisco Olympic Club, Discus; Frank Held, Stanford, javelin; Bob Richards, Illinois Athletic Club, pole vault; Dick Ault, Missouri, hurdler; Char- les Peters, Indiana, sprinter, and John Heintzman, Bradley, high jumper. Four Teams Unbeaten in I-M Softball Four teams were still unbeaten in the Fraternity-Residence Hall Intramural softball league after yesterday afternoon's second round of play. t Strauss Hall, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Chi Sigma, and Lambda Chi Alpha each hung up their second straight triumph to share the lead in the early loop stand- ings. * * * BEHIND THE four-hit pitching of Al Sullivan, Phi Kappa Psis thrashed Zeta Beta Tau, 15-6. The winners manhandled the ZBT hurling staff for 12 safe blows. Alpha Chi Sigma Pitcher Al Berckman throttled Theta Chi, 13-0, allowing only one hit, while Strauss Hall was gaining a 15-5 win over Theta Delta Chi. Bob Caton scattered 11 Theta Xi hits while his Lambda Chi Alpha teammates pounded out 18 safeties to secure the 12-8 verdict. Ken Atzel pitched and batted Gamma Delta to a 6-4 triumph over Phi Kappa Tau in what was probably the best game of the day. A close pitching duel all the way, Atzel touched Phi Kappa Tau's Joe Cowley for a second- inning grand slam home run to give his team the margin of vic- tory. Sigma Chi broke into th'e win column withea 7-0 shutout deci- sion over the Phi Gamma Deltas CINCINNATI-4P-The usually mild-mannered Cincinnati Reds, paced by Walker Cooper's trio of three-run homers, were hotter than the near 100 degree weather yesterday as they annihilated the Chicago Cubs, 23-4, for the biggest score of the major league season. Cooper, who drove in 10 runs in all, had six hits in seven trips, showing the way in the Reds 26- hit attack on six Chicago pitchers. His' three homers equalled the feat, earlier this season, of the Philadelphia Phillies' Andy Sem- inick and the Detroit Tigers' Pat Mullin. * * * Cooper's Three Homers Drive in Nine Red Runs a ..SANDWICH, England, - (') - Jimmy Adams, a chubby Scots- man, ripped off a sizzling 67 at Royal St. Georges today to out- shoot 95 rivals in the first round of the British Open Golf Cham- pionship. A putter that performed beau- tifully in perfect weather enabled the 38-year-old Adams to com- plete the initial test in the 72- hole medal play tournament with a slender one stroke lead. * * * ALL TOLD, 24 shotmakers beat par 72 for the 6,728-yard St. Georges layout with playing con- ditions ideal. Harry Bradshaw of Ireland, Big Coop's bat boomed again for another three-run, round-tripper as the Reds again scored six runs. Ted Kluszewski also homered in that -frame with Grady Hatton on base. COOPER'S NEXT trip to the plate was in the seventh. Two men were on base and the Redleg catcher rounded out his day with a blast over the left field wall. Harry WalkerhanduPeanuts 'Lowrey, late of the Cubs, com- bined for five hits and seven runs against their former mates.
