Joe DiMaggio Gets
2.000 th Base Knock
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Joe DiMaggio owns 2,000 big
league hits today and Stan Musial
has 1,500.,
Each slugger attained his im
mediate goal last night but Di-
Mag’s was by far the more satis
fying.
Joe collected two hits to drive
in three runs and lead the New
York Yankees to an important
8-2 triumph over the Cleveland
Indians. The victory, coupled
with Washington’s 4-2 victory
over Detroit boosted the runnerup
Yankees to within one game of
the American League leading
Tigers.
Stan slammed one hit—a home
run — but it didn’'t prevent the
New York Giants from gaining
their first victory of the season
over his St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2.
The defeat knocked the Cards out
of a first place tie with Brooklyn.
The Dodgers thrashed the Cincin
nati Reds, 8-2, to take a game lead
over the Redbirds.
Boston’s Red Sox and Philadel
phia’s Phillies third in their re
spective leagues, gained some
ground. The Red Sox triumphed
over the Chicago White Sox, 5-3,
while the Phils topped the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 7-3.

Optimist Club Defeats Oconee
Street In 12 Innings, 11 To 10
In what will probably be the best game in the Municipal
Softball League all season, the Optimist Club defeated
Oconee Street Methodist last night at Legion Park, 11-10,
in five extra innings of play.
The two clubs put on a slam
bang battle all the way, with the
extra innings providing most of
the thrills, There was no score
through the first six frames, and
a deadlock of 1-1 sent the fray
into extra innings.
In three of the extra frames,
Oconee would go ahead in the top
of the inning, and the Optimists
would come back to score just
enough to tie it up. In the ninth
canto, the Civic boys needed five
tallies to deadlock the score as
7-7. They got ’em.
Saye Goes Distance
George Saye went all the way
for the Optimist, hanging up his
seventh straight victory and giv
ing his team the only undefeated
record in the league, as the seed
ing-round play ended. Two-league
play gets underway tomorrow
night. There are no games sche
duled this evening.
Ben Mitchum, who relieved Roy
Hardin in the ninth inning, was
the losing pitcher.
Tommy Thomason scored the
winning run in the bottom of the
12th on a ground ball to Mitchum
at the mound, off the bat of Sam
Smith, Optimist first sacker. The
bases were loaded, nobody out.
Mitchum, evidently rattled,
didn’t make the force-out play at
the plate to cut down Thomason,
although it was evident he had
ample time,
Patterson Thumbed
Umpire John Moyer ejected Oco
nee’s starting caicher, Homer Pat
terson, from the game in the
tenth inning for conduct “beyond”
the call of auty.
THURSDAY NIGHT'S SCHE
DULE: First game (6:4s)—Op

vs. Post Office (Blue League).
First game wiil be broadcast
over WGAU FM.
In last night's second game,
Coca-Cola upset Prince Avenue
Baptist, 15-8. That sent the two
church teams in a deadlock for
third place in the seeding round.
The Optimists are undisputed
champs of the seeding play, with
a perfect reading of seven vic
tories and no defeats. University
Pri)fs are second with a mark of
6-1.
