Strange Strategy Tops
Thrills Of Mound Duel
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Ted Williams cracked his 800th home run, Only nine
others have accomplished this feat.
Ewell Blackwell and Vern Bickford hooked up in a bril
liant pitching duel that produced only three hits in the
Cincinnati-Boston game. Blackwell allowed one hit to win,
1-0. Only twice before in the last 50 years have there been
games in which fewer hits were made.
Yet these-exploits took a back
seat yesterday to a bizarre stunt
pulled by a rookie manager who
once was billed as the “switch
hitting, ambidextrous pitcher from
Waxahachie” (Texas).
"This is how Paul Rapier Rich
ards, in his first year as leader of
the Chicago White Sox, stole the
baseball thunder,
With his team leading the Red
Sox, 7-6, and southpaw swinging
Ted Williams leading off for Bos=
ton in the last half of the ninth,
he replaced righthander Harry
Dorish with Lefty Billy Pierce.
But Dorish did not go to the bench.
Instead, Richards benched third
baseman Orestes Minoso and mov
ed pitcher Morish there. Pierce
got Williams on a high pop fly to
the shortstop behind second.
Richards then returned Dorish to
the mound, Pierce back to the
:):ingh and sent Floyd Baker to
rd.
The Red Sox got their tying run
anyway, but the White Sox won
in the 11th when Nelson Fox poled
a two-run homer for a 9-7
triumph., Williams’* 300th and
seventh of the season came in the
fourth. :
Babe Ruth ence left the mound
for right field for one batter, then
returned. He was pitching for the
Red Sox.
Richards, himself, once started
a game for Muskogee in the West
ern Association as a shortstop, but
eventually went to the mound in
relief. The first batter he faced
was lefthanded. Richards pitched
lefthanded to him. The next hitter
was righthanded. So Paul put his
glove on the other hand and pitch=
ed righthanded.
Blackwell threw a one-hitter in
one of the tightest pitching battles
ever waged. Bickford, the loser,
allowed only two hits. The two
righthanders, shooting for their
second big league no-hitters, went
into the fifth before Bob Elliott
doubled off Blackwell for the first
hit of the game.
Bickford surrendered his first
hit in the sixth-—a double by Con
nie Ryan. Cincinnati’s second hit
won the game, It was a home run
by catcher John Pramesa.
Blackwell pitched a pair of one
hitters last year. ’
The major league record for the
fewest hits made by both teams in
one game is two.
The victory moved the Reds out
of the cellar into sixth place. Back
again into the basement fell the
New York Giants who dropped a
7-8 decision to Bill Werle and the
Pirates in Pittsburgh.
Brooklyn strengthened its first
place hold with an 8-4 victory
over the Cubs in Chicago. Two
homers by Gil Hodges, a grand
slammer by Duke Snider and an
other round tripper by Jackie
Robinson accounted for all except
one of Brooklyn’s runs.
A pinch single by Bill Nicholson
with the bases loaded in the ninth |
gave the Philadelphia Phils two
runs and a 5-4 victory over the
Cards in St. Louis. |
Detroit handed Sandy Consuegra
his first loss as the Tigers pounded
out 14 hits for a 12-4 victory over
Washington. |
The St. Louis Browns won a
free-swinging battle from the Ath
letics in Philadelphia, 11-8.
Hodges Clouts
11th Homer
CHICAGO, May 16—(AP) o
Every third hit smashed by Mus
cular Gil Hodges of the pace-set
ing Brooklyn Dodgers this season
has been a home run.
That's why the 27-year-old
Hodges, a nifty first sacker to boot,
today heads both major leagues
in homers with 11.
Pleasant-mannered Gil slam=-
med two hits in five trips against
the Chicago Cubs yesterday. Both
were homers which helped the
Dodgers to an 8-4 win.
In 26 games to date, Hodges has
stroked 29 hits in 101 trips to the
plate. If he maintains his present
home run production, it means
that rival pitchers must figure the
ball is going over the fence every
third time—or better—Hodges
drills & safe blow.
Hodges is sbout two months
ahead of his normal homer pro
duction. Last year, be became
Brooklyn’s leading right-handed
home run hitter of all time with
32. That was three shy of the
Dodger homer record -of 35 by
left-handed Babe Herman in 1930.
A big home run day is nothing
new to Hodges. Last season he
belted four homers in a night game
against the Boston Braves.
Charlemagne so prized his
leather-soled shoes that he slept
with them under his pillow to pre
vent their being stolen.
