|.opat Stops Tribe,
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Al Lopez knows now how Lou Boudreau felt every time
gddie Lopat pitched against the Cleveland Indians.
‘Twice this season the new Tribe pilot has looked on
helplessly as the crafty New York Yankee lefthander tied
his boys into knots.
PORAF W N WO s R
«How does he do it?” Lopez
assked before last night’s game, “I
just can’t figure out why he beats
us so regularly. He’s no better
than lots of pitchers in the lea
gljt‘,
some two and a half hours later,
Lopat had added another to his
Jong string of victories over the
Redskins, his favorite people. The
sors was 11-4, and Lopez still
was groping for the answer.
The victory enabled the Yanks
to increase their lead over the
runner-up Washington Senators
to two and one half games, The
Senators dropped an 8-7, 11-
inning decision to the Boston
ped Sox in the only other game
played in the major leagues.
Lopat wasn't exactly brilliant
asainst the Indians. He surrender
o4 only six hits but two of them
were home runs by former Yankee
Ceorge Stirnweiss and Jim Hegan.
The largest crowd of the mrajor
leasue season, 66,265 paid fans,
witnessed the game,
put everything the Indians did
weat wrong. In the first inning,
Sam Chapman played a looper by
il McDougald into an inside the
park homer, Later Mickey Mantle
g 0 }Juublc on a routine “single”
i) center. In the seventh, Joe Di-
Macgio scored ‘from first on a
\ itch and two errors.

Tripl
ple Play
Made At “Y”
By Gambrell
The Buckaroos softball t
the Athens YMCA Midget?.?megf
mediate League won loop play last
night, but an unassisted triple play
in the Indian circuit overshadowed
the league-winning tilt.
Little Billy Gambrell, a #
ber of the Eagle team whichm'::)rgk
égil?edsfiing: 14-7, in an Indian
yesterda
Seinie piay, y, performed the
Playing on second base, he made
a beautiful shoestring catch of a
low line drive hit by Bobby Hen
son for the first out, touched the
bag to catch Jed Watters off, then
made the play perfect as he tag
ged Jerry Daniel tearing down
from first.
Other Scores
Other Indian scores: Buckeyes
13, Jets 7 (Jeff Mills and Albert
Bowers of the Buckeyes and Jets,
respectively, got two hits for two
apiece); Elke 10, Baboons 9
(Baboons got only three hits
while the Elks collected ten, of
which Dub Anderson slammed
three).
In Midget-Intermediate action
the Buckaroos clinched league
winning honors with a 10-19 over
the Jack Rabbits. If the Buckaroos
had not won the tilt in the last
inning a play-off would have been
necessary.
In the top of the final frame the
Jack Rabbits knotted the score,
979, and in the bottom of that in
ning with one away Donald Epps
singled and Winston Wiggins be
came the hero of the victory with
a triple which brought in the win
ning tally and ended the game.
Comeback Victory
The Sluggers topped the Hill
billies, 9-8, in another tilt. It took
four scores in the last half of the
final frame for the Sluggers to
win. Two of the runs were walked
in. Johnny Short was the game’s
top gun with a homer, triple, and
two singles for the winners.
The tournament begins tonight.
After completion of the tourney
the league winning Buckaroos will
meet the tournament winners to
decide the championship. .
First round tourney battles to
night are set at 6 p. m. between
the Yardbirds and Monkeys and at |
7:15 between the Hillbillies and
Tigers. ‘
Tomorrow at 5:45 p. m. the Tin
horns meet the Jack Rabbits and
the two losers in tonight’s round
will battle at 7 in the double
elimination affairs.

affair.
Softhall Loop Sets
Opening For May 31
Managers of six prospective
teams in the Athens Municipal
Softball League nave elected to
start play in the 1951 renewal of
the league on the night of Thurs
day, May 31.
A meeting of team representa
tives at Lyndon House last night
included Prince Avenue Baptist
Church, Athens Manufacturing
Company, B. & W. Dry Cleaners,
Ag Hill Porfessors, the Eager
Beavers, and Frank Hardeman
Chapter of DeMolay. Two other
teams are expected to enter the
league shortly,
Modified Rule
The managers, after discussion,
decided to continue the modified
pitching rule which proved very
successful last season, The rule
prevents the pitching arm being
raised above the level of the shoul
der, and specifies that the ball
shall be delivered as in bowling.
The rule is designed to take some
of the emphasis of the game from
pitching, and to allow every team
an equal chance,
The league teams will play one
round of competition before beinfl
divided into two inner loops,
eight teams enter. Top teams
after the single round of play will
