Crax Stage
Comeback In
Y’ Cub Loop
Cub League action at the Athens
. YMCA yesterday saw the Crack
| ers down the Grubworms by a
score of 8-5 and thus take over
the second place berth in the
[ league.
The Crackers, previously the
league leaders, were sent to the
cellar a couple o fweeks ago by
inspired playing on the part of the
Grubworms and the Hardrocks.
| Now they seem to have made there
| bid for the first place slot again,
and are determined in their efforts
to make good.
The winners worked on the
pitching efforts of Troy Matthews
and Jimmy Hall in yesterday's tiit.
They were successful for four hits
and cashed in on seven errors
made by the Worms., “Slugger”
Ferguson and Dean Baird led the
Crax attack with two runs apiece.
Tommy Bird, Tommy Mattgews,
“Speedy” White, and Sammy
Givens also aided the Cracker
cause with one tally contributed
by each of them.
'Worm Pitching
Against the hurling of Herschel
Schultz and Charles Jackson, the
Grubworms were equally as good
as the winning Crackers as they
racked up four hits. Ho®ever, a
ilack of errors made in the field
]by the Crackers hampered their
runs tallied efforts. The Worm
Iruns were scored one at a time by
five of the teams’ leading hitters.
Troy Matthews, Bobby Towns,
Jimmy Hall, Pat Marshall, and
Bobby Thomson each pushed over
one run apiece.
For the winners there were
eight runs, four hits, and four
walks. They committed four errers
in the field. The losers got five
runs, on four hits, four walks and
made seven errors afield. .
Indian Game
In the Indian League’s last game
which. was scheduled between the
Bulldogs and the Hawks, the Bull
dogs got credit for their third win
of the season on a forfeit by the
second place Hawk aggregation.
The forfeit was necessary due to
the lack of men on the Hawk
squad.

Jim Konstanty
Wins In Relief
BY JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Jim Konstanty, the Phils’ rubber armed reliefer, looks
like the most important single factor in the National Lea
gue race. As long as Jim holds up, the Phils should ride
high. o 2 e 5 AL
Soldier Curt Simmons is sup
posed to continue the job of cool
ing off the sizzling New York
Giants tonight. Chances are Kon
stanty will be in the final box
score.
When Konstanty replaced bonus
Bob Miller in the eighth inning of
last night’s 6-5 win over the
Giants, he made his 51st appear
ance of the season. The Phils
have played 108 games. It hardly
seems possible that Jim missed 57.
Konstanty won’t miss many of
the last 46 down the pennant
stretch. After the Phils finish with
the Giants Sunday, Boston invades
Philadelphia. They then shift to
New York before starting their
last western swing, Aug. 22.
Singles by Gran Hamner and
Andy Seminick and a game-losing
throwing error by center fielder
Bobby Thomson gave Konstanty
his ninth victory in the 10th in
ning of last night’s struggle. More
important, it boosted the Phils
lead to six games over Boston.
Bubba Church failed to retire a
batter in the two-run first inning,
giving way to Miller, who yielded
another pair in the fourth and one
in the eighth when he was knocked
out. The Phils clawed Larry Jan
sen’ for five runs and 10 hits in
his seven-inning stay. Hamner and
Mike Goliat both hit homers off
Larry. Dave Koslo was the 10th
inning victim. It was the Giants’
third loss in. 20 games.
The important Brooklyn-Boston
series opened with a win for the
Dodgers, 4-3. Consecutive homers
by Gil Hodges and Roy Campanel
la in the fourth aided the cause.
The win slipped Brooklyn into
third place, three percentage voints
ahead of idle St. Louis.
Umpire Lou Jorda cleared the
Boston Bench in the fourth after
the Braves protested his call on a
pitch to Hodges .The ump chased
Manager Billy Southworth and
Gene Mauch first. Then he ordered
all but two coaches, trainer and the
batboy from the bench.
Hodges’ stab of Sam Jethroe’s
liner started a game-ending dou
ble play that ruined a ninth-in
ning Boston threat. Earlier Jeth
roe hit his 12th homer. Campanei.-
FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1856,
la’s homer, No. 23, tide the Dodger
club record for righthanded bhat
ters.
Preacher Ree, &nocked out in
the eighth, saved his 15th win
while Johnny Sain, going the
route, suffered his eighth loss.
He’s won 16,
Pittsburgh broke a 10-game los
ing streak by blasting Chicago,
7-4. Ralph Kiner, Wally Westlake
and Clyde MsCullough hit homers
in the four-run fourth as the
Cubs dropped into seventh-place
tie with idle Cincinnati. Kiner's
homer was his 31st of the year.
Picking on the second division
clubs proved risky business in the
American League yesterday. Only
Cleveland, a 5-4 winner over St
Louis, got away with it. The Tribe
squeezed home with Bob Lemon
hitting two doubles to back up his
18th victory.
Detroit added a half game so its
lead, now measuring 3'%. Cleve
land, not New York, now is in
second .place. .But .the .Tigers
missed a chance. . After whipping
Chicago, 10-6, they were held to
2 1-1 tie in the second game, ealled
by darkness In the seventh fnning.
Art Houtteman, with ninth in
ning help from Marlin Stuart, took
the opener as the Tigers ecuffed
Ken Holcombe for three runs in
the fourth.
Philadelphia dropped New York
into third place by a 5-3 win in
their series opener. Alex Keliner
copped his seventh with help from
Lou Brissie jn the ninth.
Boston ran into trouble with
fifth-place Washington. The Sena
tors came up with eight runs in
the second inning to win the open
er for Bob Kuzava, 11-2, but the
Red Sox took the second game, a
