Dodgers Lose Twin-Bill
BRAWNY BILL VEECK, who whizzes through baseball clubs like a
tornado, has undertaken his toughest assignment.
Veeck, who gave Cleveland a shot in the arm during his brief ten-
ure there, has moved his circus wagon down to St. Loo and the natives
are shaking their heads already.
HE CELEBRATED his first day as owner of the weary and weary-
ing Browns by serving free beer and pop to every customer. Which
produced a larger crowd than usual, but did not win the ball game
for Mr. Veeck's new collection of misfits.
Veeck's policy is sure to be new in one respect. The DeWitt.
brothers, always of a parsimonious nature, were gifted at selling
ballplayers. They sent more promising outfielders, pitchers, and
assorted handymen to the powerful clubs in the league than most
farm systems yield in a decade.
The colorful Veeck, who also knows the value of a dollar, delights
in handing it out if it will eventually bring him a large return. So
there may be some big trade doings down Missouri way come winter.
* * * * .
THE EX-CLEVELAND owner doesn't hope for success this year.
That would be like praying for rain in Death Valley during the month
of.-August. But he purchased the St. Louis club with the most laudable
ambition of making them a major league team. Either he likes pub-
licity or the guy cannot tell burlap from silk.
Bob Carpenter, you'll remember, did such a job with the
Phils. They had been perpetual cellar-dwellers until he began to
deal out lucre like faro cards. But the Phils are one thing.
The Browns have looked so hopelessly weak ever since their war-
time pennant (1944) that even such a fine pitcher as Ned Garver
needs the help of fate to keep from losing twenty games a season.
Still, Veeck may have the touch of Midas. Even the lowly Brownies
could become a bronze cyclone-with the addition, perhaps, of Ted
Williams, George Kell, Stan Musial, and a few other gentlemen.
* * * * .
RUMOR HATH IT around Detroit that Billy Evans, the Tiger gen-
eral manager, will not be serving in that capacity too much longer.
Evans, who refused to put his outfield on the trading block
this season and ended up by adding almost nothing to the Bengal
team strength, may have incurred the wrath of Walter O. Briggs,
who likes a winning ball club and is always happy to make shake-
ups if they are necessary.
Red Rolfe, the Detroit manager, has been doing the best he can
with a team which just couldn't get going during the month of June.
But since Evans didn't provide him with a first baseman or any added
pitching strength, the general manager could be on the way out.
THE ROBINSON-TURPIN affair was to the slnorts world what the
defeat of the Democratic party in a presidential election would
be to the American political scene. Sugar Ray, to most fight fans, was
the one last hearkening-back to the old days of the fistic sport.
HE COULD (and can) box with the artistic grace of a premier
dancer. And to see the blinding speed of his combination punches is
something unbelievable. Or at least it was.
From this corner, it looks like Robinson put himself on the spot
with his round of exhibitions in Europe. It's no secret that grand-
tours of the continent, with occasional light workouts against tank
town brawlers, do not take the plac'e of an extensive training season.
CHICAGO-(k')-Clyde Vollmer,
whose clutch hitting has featured
Boston's rise to the top in the tight
American League pennant race,
came through again yesterday as
the Red Sox shaded the runner-up
Chicago White Sox, 3-2.
Vollmer clouted a two-run ninth
inning single to wipe out a 2-1 de-
ficit and boost the Red Sox one
game ahead of Chicago.
THE THIRD PLACE Yankees
also lost ground, falling 21/ games
behind as they dropped a 8-0 deci-
sion to the fourth place Cleveland
Indians. The Indians are only
31/2 games astern of Boston.
Vollmer has been a key figure
in Boston's last two series. His
clutch hitting enabled the Sox
Ito score three straight victories
over the Yanks just before the
All-Star game.
He has figured prominently in
Boston's three victories in their
four game series with Chicago.
In the twi-night doubleheader
Thursday he socked a two-run
homer in the opening game 3-2
triumph and drove in the win-
ning run in the 5-4 17 inning
nightcap triumph. Next night he
singled home the tie-breaking run
in the top of the 19th but the
White Sox rallied in their half
to pull it out, 5-4.
* * *
KEN HOLCOMBE had the Red
Sox beaten, 2-1, on five hits going
into the ninth. Bobby Doerr sin-
gled and Billy Goodman doubled
to begin the inning and Vollmer
followed with his game winning
blow to left. Ted Williams ac-
counted for the other Boston run
with his 17th homer in the fourth
inning.
The vengeful Cleveland Indi-
ans, smarting from their no-hit
defeat Thursday, pulled to with-
in one game of third place New
York by handing the Yankees
an 8 to 0 drubbing behind Early
Wynn's two-hit pitching.
It gave the Tribe a 2 to 1 mar-
gin in their three-game series and
further tightened the close Ameri-
can League pennant race. The
victory also marked the first time
the Tribe has shut out the New
Yorkers in two years.
* *s '*
WYNN, A BIG 31-year-old right
hander, registered his ninth vic-
tory against as many defeats as
the Tribesman-still angry over
their no-hit loss to the Yanks'
Allie Reynolds-pounded four hur-
lers for 11 safeties.
D o n Johnson, Washington
Senator righthander, faced only
29 batters-two over the mini-
mum-as he blanked the De-
troit Tigers 8-0 with three hits.
George Kell, Jerry Priddy, and
Joe Ginsberg rapped singles off
Johnson but Ginsberg was erased
by a double play. They were the
only batters to reach first.
* * *
JOHNSON STRUCK out only
one batter but walked no one. The
Senators smacked 12 hits off loser
Hal Newhouser, Dizzy Trout, and
Hank Borowy.
T h e Philedalphia Athletics
combined 11 hits and 12 walks,
for a 10-6 triumph over the St.
Louis Browns with Dave Philley
leading the A's attack.
Philley drove in four runs on
two hits, one of them a double.
The big bats of I-ank Sauer and
Bruce Edwards ended Chicago's
victory famine at eight games as
the Cubs laounced Brooklyn's
league-leading Dodgers, 5-4 and
11-7, in a hit-filled doubleheader.
* * *
BROOKLYN'S EIGHT - game
winning streak was snapped in
the opener as Sauer smashed
across four runs on a double and
two home runs.
In the second game, the Cubs
pounded Dan Bankhead for five
runs in the first inning. Two
came on Bruce Edwards' fourth
homer of the season, a two-run
shot into the left field with one
aboard.
The St. Louis Cardinals moved
back into second place today by
tripping the New York Giants, 4
to 3, on Enos Slaughter's two-run
double in the seventh inning.
ST. LOUIS TRAILED 3-2 going
into the seventh. With one out,
Stan Musial and Wally Westlake
hit singles. Both rode home when
Slaughter cracked a line drive to
left center.
Richie Ashburn, who is devel-
oping into a one-man offense
for the Philadelphia Phillies,
clubbed out four hits in four
tries today to h e l p Bubba
Church defeat the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 2-0.
Veteran lefthander Ken Raf-
fensberger of Cincinnati blanked
Boston with six hits today, 5-0,
while his mates socked out 12
safeties to make it two straight
Reds' shutouts over the Braves.
1st Million-
For Citation'
INGLEW OD; Calif.-R) - Ci-
tation won the $100,000 Hollywood:
Gold Cup by three lengths yester-
day to become the first million
dollarywinner in turf history.
BigrCy was never challenged as
he added the prize to his early
earnings and came up with $1,-
085,760.
* * *
CITATION ISN'T through rac-
ing, even if he has become the
turf's first $1,000,000 winner.
Trainer Jimmy Jones, admit-
ting that Citation's victory yes-
terday was probably "the great-
est thrill in my life," continued:
"He seems to be his old self
again. We don't plan to retire
him immediately. This would
seem foolish when he's at his
present peak condition."
"There is a chance he may run
next Saturday in the Sunset Han-
dicap and probably once in Chi-
cago and then in the Jockey Club
Gold Cup in New York. Then he
will probably be prepared for the
1952 breeding season in November
or December."

Snead, F 'azio
Tie frLead
In esterne
DAVENPORT, Ia. -- (P) - Sam
Snead, the defending champion,
and George Fazio, the little fight-
er from Thepine Valley, N. J.,
Club, battled to a 202 first place
tie yesterday to lead the Western
Open golf tournament through the
third round.
Slamming Sam was first home
with a 31-34-65, five under par
for the Davenport Country Club
course. That gave Snead, two
strokes behind leader Fazio at the
36-hole mark, a 202 total for 54
holes.
FAZIO, WHO opened the tour-
nament with a record-breaking 63,
was, busy whipping par when
Three Join Dufek
ICHICAGO--OP-Three more
members of Michigan's Big Ten
and Rose Bowl champion foot-
ball team were selected today to
join Wolverine back Don Dufek
on the College All Star squad
which meets the Cleveland
Browns Aug. 17.
The additions are Halfback
Charles Ortmann of Milwau-
kee, Tackle Al Wahl of Oak
Park, Ill., and End Harry Allis
of Flint, Mich.
Snead's score was posted. At the
last hole he needed a par 4 to tie
Snead. He missed a 20-foot side-
hill putt that would have given
him a 3 and sent him ahead. But
he tapped in his second putt and
the crowd cheered his 34-33-67.
"I knew I had to make that
putt to stay ahead of Sam but
it just didn't fall," he said.
Cary Middlecoff, the former na-
tional open champ from Memphis,
Tenn., f1asted out a 64, one shy
of Fazio's record run, for the best
round of the day. That perform-
ance brought Cary back into con-
tention after he faded to a 141
with his second round 75.
