Turley's No-Hit Bid SpoiledbyRosen,Doby
By UNITED PRESS
Al Rosen and Larry Doby, a couple of Cleveland "spoilers" who combined to break Bob Turley's heart last night, turned around today and paid the Baltimore fireballer the supreme compliment by calling him "the greatest young pitcher in the majors."
The 23-year-old Turley struck out
14 Cleveland batters—only four shy of
bob Feller's all-time record of 18
strikeouts—and held the Indians hit-
less until there was one out in the
ninth.
Then Rosen singled and Doby followed with a 380-foot homer to give Bob Lemon a 2-1 victory over the Orioles and thoroughly crushed 48,333 partisan Baltimore fans who were cheering Turley toward a no-hitter.
Turley, who has less than 90 days experience in the majors and did most of his pitching last season with the Brooke General Hospital team at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., was more disappointed over losing last night's game than he was over losing his no-hitter.
In other American league games, the Senators trampled the Athletics, 13-1 and the Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 5-1, while in the National League, the Dodgers beat the Phillies, 6-3, the Cardinals topped the Reds, 4-2, in a game which Cincinnati Manager Birdie Tebbets protested, the Pirates nipped the Giants, 5-4, and the Braves humbled the Cubs, 7-3.
Jim Busby was the big man in the victory over Philadelphia, smashing a triple, double and two singles to go with Bob Porterfield's three-hit pitching. Clyde Vollmer and Mickey Vernon each homered for Washington.
Home runs by Gil McDougall, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra helped Eddie Lopat to his second victory of the campaign as the Yankees defeated southpaw Leo Kiely of Boston. Bera paced the Yankees 11-hit offensive with a pair of singles in addition to his homer.
Three Phillie errors in the first inning helped the Dodgers jump to a three-run lead at the expense of Steve Ridkiz and Brooklyn was never headed. Billy Loes made his first start of the season and was the winner although he needed Jim Hughes' help in the ninth. Hughes struck out two pinch hitters to end the game.
Gerry Staley's eight-hit pitching, plus a three-run rally in the sixth, helped the Cards to their triumph over the Reds. But Tebbettets protested the game because St. Louis Manager Eddie Stanky refused to remain inside the third base concession stand at New York City and ordered him to do so. Stanky was ejected from the game in the third inning.
Whitey Lockman's fumble of a pickoff throw in the eighth inning allowed Toby Atwell to score with the run that gave the Pirates their victory. It was a disastrous night all around for Lockman who lost a two-run homer in the fifth because teammate Monte Irvin had called
time. Frank Thomas hit a three-run homer for the Pirates and Max Surkont gained the victory.
Eddie Mathews' three-run homer in the fifth, which carried Cub center-fielder Bob Talbot into the bullpen with it, powered Milwaukee to its triumph. Joe Adcock also hit a two-run homer for the Braves. Warren Spahn scattered eight hits and was the victor.
