Cincy Snags Twin Bill From Cards; Red Sox, Tigers Win
Trout Pifches
Seventh Straight
Win For Detroit
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
It is a moot question today
whether collapse of the St. Louis
Cardinal pitching staff is due
chiefly ot the absence of Wal
ker Cooper, star catcher sold to
the New York Giants, or to re
turn of pre-war stars to the big
leagues. ¥
Whatever the reason, it is no
secret now that (1) the Redbird
pitching staff is not all it's crack
ed up to be; (2) the Cards will
not walk into the National Lea
gue championship as predicted
originally.
When Cooper was sold for
$175.000, opinion was that he
would add at least 20 victories to
the Giant mound crew. Appar
ently no one considered how
many games his absence might‘
cost the Cards.
With one month of the 1946
campaign gone, St. Louis’ two
top hurlers last year — Harry
(The Cat) Breechen (i 5-4 and
Charlie (43%) Barrett (23-12)—
have won only one game between
them, a far cry from last year
when Brecheen led all National
League hurlers in won and 1ost!
percentages and Barrett was tops
in victories.
Both had almost two full weeks
of rest when they took the hill
against Cincinnati yesterday.
Bach failed to last and the Reds
swept a double bill, 4-2 and 5-1,
10 move into a third place tie
with the Boston Braves and Chi
cago Cubs. The double defeat
tumbled the Cards from first to
second plcae in the National Lea
gue, one and one-half games be
hind the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Veteran Bucky Tosses
The Reds, meantime, were the
recipients of some masterful huri
ing by vewran Bucky Walters
and freshman Ewell Blackwell
Each gained his first triumph,
Walters holding the Cards to six
scattered hits in the 10-inning
opener and Blackwell permitting
only three safeties while striking
out 10 in the nightcap. !
Somewhat overshadowed DY |
the Boston Red Sox winning
streak which ended at 15 Satur
dav. the Detroit Tigers have gone
quietly about putting together
a streak of their own to boost
themsglves back into the Ameri
can League flag chase.
Dizzy Trou tpitched the Bengals
to their seventh straight vester
day with a 4-1, seven-hit perfor
mance over the Chicago White
Sox before 43,726 paying cus
tomers. The turnout sent the
Tigers’ seven home games total
to 233,660. '
Yanks Dow, o-1
The league. leaging Red Sox
resumed their winning ways by
defeating the New York Yankees
3-1 in the rubber game of their
three-game series before a tre
mendous turnout of 68,193, sec
ond highest single game crowd in
baseball history.
Brooklyn ran its unbeaten vic
tory string at home to eight by
pummeling the Philadelphia Phils
13-4,
__The Boston Braves slapped
dg the New York Gianhts 6-5
Jg{_z to drop the Ottmen into
the second division, The Braves
came from behind to win the
opener in 10 innings.
“The Cubs whipped the seventh
place Pittsburgh Piratgs 3-1 be
hind Claude Passeau's seven-hit
pitching and moved within three
games of the top.
Washington’s Senators gained
an even break with the Phila
delphia Athletics, winning the
nightcap 3-1 after dropping the
opener 6-4.
The St. Louis Browns extend
ed Bobby Feller to 10 innings
before succumbing to Cleveland
4-3 in the opener, and then came
back to scalp the Indians 9-3.
Feller fanned 12 to raise his sea
son’s strikeout total to 71 and
give the Tribe their first home
triumph of the season. l

LS|l SPORTS EDITOR.
“E‘s a bloody fighter, don’t
yen think?” inquired Tom Hurst,
manager of Bruce Woodcock,
after the British heavyweight
ctiampion concluded his first
sparring bout in America at his
training camp at Bear Mountain,
N Y.
M:». Hurst was richy on one
count, anyway. Woodcock was
bloody, Practically the first jab
out of the box blhodied his
snoot, and it kept on oozing gore
throughout his two rounds with
Joe Barrett, a lightheavyweight
from ’'Frisco.
The things that are noticeable
about Woodcock’s puglistic make
up are as follows: 3
He can hit like blazes; he's
more aggrescive than any En
glish fighter who ever came to
America; he’s as easy to hit as
an elephant at two paces; he’s
thin-skinned and bleeds readily
when hit on the face; he’s not
a clever boxer; his best—and
British Boxing Critics Unanimously
Favor American's Gus Lesnevich
To Take Freddie Mills Tomorrow Night
LONDON, May 13 —(AP) —
British boxing critics almost
unanimously favor America’s
Gus Lesnevich to defeat Freddie
Mills, oaly recently discharged
from the RAF, in their fight for
the world light heavyweigat
championship tomorrow night.
Since in their own countries
they are recognized as champion
at their weight, the bout will
cettle a trans-Atlantic argumen’
A sell-out crowd is expected at
Harringay arena in North Lon
don.
. Mills, the younger of the two
by five-years, is known as an
aggressive boxer who is easy 1o
hit.
Experts who watched them
train—Mills in London and Les
nevich at the channel -coast
resort =of Brighton—expressed
fear that Lesnevich would top
ple British hopes whether or
nnt the fight goes the full 15-
rcund distance.
BUT CAN'T GAIN
DETROIT, May 13— (AP)— The
Letroit Tige's mave learned—
with regret that a slip in the
current American league pennant
chase isn’t easy lo overcome.
Barely a week ago the world
champion Bengals nosedived
only—defense is a powerful of-
Ifense; he’s a slugger, pure and
Isimple—mostly simple,
They say that Bruce throws
la te-rific straight left, follows
thirougha nicely with a straight
rigat. He’s a siand-up fighter
| but keeps his chin tucked in
| fairly well, though this doesn’t
nrevent him from being a most
inviting target.
| THE BASEBALL FRONT
i Those two Boston potatoes—
il’csky and Williams—have sunk
quite a few percentage points
i the lasy few games but Johnny
is still whaling the horsehide at
a .394 clip, Williams tied with
Vernon of Washington with a
387 mark. Pee-Wee Reese of
{ Brooklyn tops the mational with
411, Musial of St. Louis in sec
cend with .388.
Pesky is also topping the jun
jor ooop with 31 runs and 43
liits. Williams is secong in both
of those departments.
into a seven-game losing streak
curing which they lost six full
games to the league-leading Bos
tcn Red Sox.
In the last eight days they've
won seven in a row—and gained
buck exactly nothing.
With all their ups and downs,
the Tigers have hardly dipped
below, ang can’t seem to rise
above, third place in the stand
ings.
~ Today as they went after their
eighth straight tiumph and® a
sweep of the three-game set with
the Chicago White Sox, the Ti
rers still rested seven full game
off Boston’s torrid pace.
“We're Coming Now”
“But we're coming noy,” man
ager Steve O'Neill warns
“We're winning with good pitch
ing and 4 we still haven't started
to hit. When we put them togeth
er. watch out!”
Without that pitching the Ti
gers would be in a sorry state
today. The club is struggling
slong with a puny team batting
average of .226, dragged down
Ly a combined .224 mark of an
cutfield expected to rip off kits
at a clip much nearer .324.
Barney McCosky, who before
the war hag a couple of good
vea~s at bat, ig hitting .205. Dick
Wakefield, a .355 hitter in 1944,
can’t get started toward improv
ing his .224 average and Pat
Mullin and Anse Moore are do
ing little better.
