The Mexican league continues to grab the spotlight from time to time with its raids on major league clubs, although several injunctions have been granted restraining the Mexican league from pilfering players from the Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants.
The St. Louis Cardinals are the latest victims, Jorge Pasquel and his associates came out of the Cardinal camp with a .500 average when they signed Max Lanier, Fred Martin and Lou Klein. The St. Louis outfield, Stan Musial, Terry Moore, and Enos Slaughter, refused to sign contracts with the Mexican league.
The signing of Lanier might mean the pennant for the Cardinals, because he was their leading hurler with six victories against no defeats. Martin, a rookie, also was counted upon to help the St. Louis cause in the title fight. Klein had been relegated to the utility infielder role, although he formerly played second base regularly for the Cards.
The loss of the three outfielders would have put the finishing touches on the St. Louis chance to win the pennant. Musial is the club's leading hitter, and the three are recognized as the best outfield in the National league.
Many observers believe the Cardinal wage scale had a lot to do with the jumping to the Mexican league because it has been an acknowledged fact that Card salaries have always been low.
Over in the American league the spotlight is focusing on Dave Ferriss of the Boston Red Sox. Ferriss is the pitcher who gained acclaim last year by winning eight consecutive games as a rookie at the start of the season.
Sensational rookie pitchers in the majors, with few exceptions, have had poor records the following season. Ferriss threatens to be one of those exceptions. He has won seven games without a defeat this season, and he may match his mark of last year.
Ferriss leads the hurlers of both leagues with his perfect record, and teammate Mickey Harris is close be-hind with seven victories and one
PT-7's Burch, Phi Delt's Evans Pit Skill in Softball Title Game
Loren Burch and Ray Evans tangle in what should be a hot pitching duel when PT-7 and Phi Delta Theta fight it out for the intramural softball championship which will probably be played Friday.
PT-7 advanced to the finals by defeating Phi Gamma Delta, 1 to 0, Monday. Burch and Hartigan, Phi Gamur hurler, hooked up in a pitcher's battle, and the game was the closest played this season.
Burch held the Phi Gam's to one hit. Jim Richey, Phi Gam left fielder, beat out an infield hit in the first of the sixth inning to spoil a perfect game.
Hartigan, pitching his best game of the season, let the navy team down with two hits. Pumphrey singled in the first inning, and Cohen beat out an infield hit in the last of the sixth inning.
Leroy Harmon scored the winning run for PT-7 in the last of the fifth inning. He got on base on Hartigan's error, stole second and scored when Van Ert, Phi Gam catcher, threw the ball into center field trying to make the putout at second. This was the break that decided the game as the navy team fielded lightly behind Burch's stellar hurling.
The Phi Delt's outscored Ship's Co. 6 to 1, to earn the second berth in the finals. Jacob, Ship's Co. hurler, allowed the Phi Delt's only four hits, but they took advantage of several errors to win.
Ray Evans held the Ship's Co. batters to five safeties, and he kept them well scattered. Each pitcher walked three men. Evans struck out six to Jacob's two.
Ship's Co. prevented the Phi Delt's from scoring in the first inning by pulling a nifty double play, but the Phi Delt's came back in the second to pile up four runs. Lear tripled to center field with two
defeat. If these two can maintain this sizzling pace and Tex Hughson and Joe Dobson can come through with their share of victories, the Red Sox should have little trouble keeping ahead of the pack in the junior circuit.
men on base to help the Phi Delt cause.
Ship's Co. rallied in the last of the second to tally its only run on two walks and a hit. Tight fielding by the Phil Delt's put out the fire.
The Phi Delt's scored their final runs in the fifth inning on a hit by Kaufman, an error, and two consecutive walks. Neither team threatened in the sixth or seventh innings.
