Astonishing A's Extend Streak To Eight Straight
Connie Mack, astonishing 85-year old Methuselah of baseball, and his equally astonishing grab-bag ball club were the talk of the baseball world today after an eventful weekend of diamond activity found the amazing A's winning two more to hang to the American league lead in games won and lost. Cleveland, also a double-winner yesterday, has the lead on percentage points.
The A's, now possessing the longest victory string of the campaign, trimmed the Tigers, 10 to 5 and 5 to 3, yesterday to make it eight in a row. Connie's kid pitchers and his castoff lineup shone brilliantly all the way. In the opener six runs in the first inning made it easy for Joe Coleman to notch his second victory. In the second game, Rookie Lou Brissise won number three, but it took a four-run rally in the eighth to put it away for him. Eddie Joost, sparkplug of the streak, hit safely in both games to make it 15 in a row. Keltrner Poles 3
Ken Keltner of the Indians, hit three round trippers in a double victory over the Red Sox at Boston. 4 to 1 in 10 innings and 9 to 5, to give him nine for the season and the major league leadership. He got only 11 all last year and, with a puny .257 average, had been considered strictly a liability in Cleveland's 1948 plans. His second homer in the opener touched off a three-run rally in the 10th that gave Bob Feller victory over Joe Dobson. It was Feller's third win. Ted Williams, runner-up in the homer derby, got one round tripper in each game.
Russ Meyer of the Cubs held the jolting Giants to three safeties in a duel with Dave Koslo that was scoreless until a pair of unearned runs in the eighth gave Chicago a 2 to 0 decision. It was Meyer's second great showing, his first being a one-hitter over the Cards.
Cocky Frank Shea seemed well on his way to a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium when Bob Kennedy broke it up with a single in the seventh. Shea went on to win, 8 to 0, on five hits.
Smith Paces Theta To Win
Locksley added another win by downing Pi Beta Phi 16 to 6. Vander Smissen, on the mound for Locksley, allowed 11 hits but was never in trouble as she won her second game in a row. Hoffman, Locksley first baseman, and van der Smissen each scored three runs to match the total Pi Phi effort. Keplinger, Baker, and Chubb, cracked out two hits each for the Pi Phi's.
More than 70 per cent of 1947 automobile accidents occurred on dry pavement. Drive carefully—always!
By downing Delta Gamma 11 to 1, Corbin remained undefeated. Shepard, Corbin pitcher, held the Delta Gamma's to nine hits and struck out 11. Atkinson, Delta Gamma hurler, allowed only 11 hits but she received rather spotty support in the field.
Three home runs by Marilyn Smith, freshman catcher, gave Kappa Alpha Theta the needed power to defeat Kappa Kappa Gamma 15 to 10 last week. Corbin and Locksley also posted wins to loom as leading contenders for the women's softball crown.
Although the Kappa's managed to get 15 hits off McCune, Theta pitcher, they couldn't offset the extra-base power of the Theta's. The Theta's took a 4- to 3 lead in the first and gradually built up their margin. Francisco and Ross, Theta left fielder and first baseman, contributed three hits each.
The Senators topped the Browns at Washington, 3 to 1, getting all of their runs off Rookie Ned Garver in the first inning on a two-run single by Johnny Sullivan and a steal of home in a double theft by Mickey Vernon. Walt Masterson, with relief help, scored his second victory.
Cards Into First
The Cardinals took over first place in the National, following Brechene's great Saturday night job, with a 6 to 4 victory over the Braves at St. Louis in which they batted out Brave ace Warren Spahn.
Trailing 3 to 0 on home runs by Jeff Heath and Jim Russell, the Cards attacked Spahn for all of their runs in the sixth and seventh. Enos Slaughter drove in three with a double and single to lead the 10-hit drive. Murry Dickson was the winner to chalk up his second victory.
The Phils got excellent southpaw pitching and terrific hitting to beat 14 to 2 and 8 to 0, at Cincinnati, pushing the losers into last place.
Ralph Kiner's two homers and a good relief job by pitcher Rip Sewell gave the Pirates a 10 to 8 triumph over the Dodgers after Brooklyn won the opener, 14 to 2, at Pittsburgh.
