Indians, Pirates Set
Eight Game Streaks
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Cleveland and Pittsburgh are the latest teams to take a
whack at baseball’s marathon winning and losing skeins
as the big leagues continue their “streak of the week” by
play. e »
\' The way this capricious cam
paign has been fluctuating, it
'would cause no great stir if the
American League’s 19-garhe win
'ning streak, or the National’s
!string of 19 straight losses were to
‘be wiped off the records.
The New York Yankees began it
with eight straight wins. Then!
came Boston’s Red Sox with 10.
Chicago’s White Sox topped both
with 14. Now comes Clevéland
with eight in a row.
The Indians made their biggest‘
strides of the season yesterday
sweeping both ends of a double
header from the Yankees, 8-3 and
4-1. Bobby Feller and Bob Lemon
pitched eight and four-hitters, re
spectively. -
Pittsburgh looks like it is aim
ing for a streak in reverse. The
Pirates were whipped twice by the
oncoming Philadelphia Phils, 11-2
and 8-3, to run their string of set
back to eight straight.
Brooklyn widened its National
League lead to four games over
St. Louis, sweeping both ends of
a twin bill from Chicago’s Cubs,
8-3 and 5-2 in 10 innings.
Giants Recover
The Giants vaulted into third
place, splitting a pair with the
Cards. Dave Koslo won a bril
liant 1-0 hurling duel from Max
Lanier of St. Louis, but the Cards
came back to eke out a 4-3 win in
the second.
Cincinnati dumped the Braves
into a fourth place tie with Chica
go, winning twice, 3-1 and 4-2.
Although held even in their two
games with Boston, the White Sox
improved their American League
lead to two full lengths over the
runner-up Yankees, The Red Sox
won the opener, 7-5 with Chicago
walking away with the second, 11-
>
Detroit snapped a seven-game|
losing ‘streak, whipping Washing
ton, 10-2, after the Senators had
won the openér, 8-4. The Browns
and Athletics divided a double
header. Philadelphia won the
first game, 7-3, and St. Louis took
the second, 2-1.
The year’s largest turnout —
75,163 paid admissions-—saw the
Indians hammer six homers off
Yankee pitchers, three by Luke
Easter. Vic Raschi and Frank
Shea were the losers. |
After Mel Parnell had pitched
the Red Sox to their 12th win in
13 games, the Chisox pounded out
16 hits off five hurlers to even
the score. Dom DiMaggio hit safely
in his 21st and 22nd games.
Stubby Overmire registered his
first victory of the season, win
ning a 2-1 hurling duel from Phi
ladelphia’s Carl Scheib. In the
nightcap homers by Dave Philley
and Joe Tipton helped Dick Fowl
er gain his second mound victory.
Pat Mullin smashed a homer,
friple and a double to help the
Tigers snap their seven-game los
ing streak. Irv Noren hit a homer
and two singles, scored three runs
and drove in two in the opener for
victorious Washington.
Newcombe Wins Sixth
Don Newcombe won his sixth
and Preacher Roe racked up his
seventh without a defeat for the
Dodgers. A single by pinch hitter
Gene Hermanski scored Carl Fu
rillo in the 10th inning of the
nightcap to hang the first defeat
upon Dutch Leonard.
A single by Billy Johnson scored
Red Schoendienst in the eighth
with the run that gave Harry Bre
cheen and the Cards a 4-3 win
over the Giants after Koslo had
handcuffed the Redbirds with two
hits in his 1-0 opening win.
| Gran Hamner smashed a grand
slam homed in the Phils’ double
win over the Pirates. Robin Rob
erts and Bubba Church went the
Rouse for the Philadelphia wins.
Kenny Raffensberger and Ewell
Blackwell slapped the fifth and
sixth straight setback on the
Braves with six and five-hit per
| formances.
| The Reds rallied for three runs
lin the eighth of the nightcap to
| come from behind and beat Chet
i Nichols.
When the National League or
ganized in 1876, six of the eight
teams were from the National As
sociation. The two new clubs were

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., June 4.
— (AP) —Georgia and Alabamg
fishermen who like to take week
‘end fishing trips to Florida will
bhave to pay more for the privil
ege if a bill passed by the 1951
legislature becomes law.
The measure raising non-resi
dent fishing license fees hasn't
yet been acted on by Governor
Fuller Warren.
It would raise the yearly non
resident license from $7.50 to $lO.
The 10-day permit would become
a 14-day license and would sell
for $3 instead of $2.
Numerous proposals to reorgan
ize the game commission were in
troduced during the session but
none passed. Several legislators
have been critical of the agency
for allegedly lacking interest in
conservation and allowing politics
to control ‘its operations.
Another successful measure
was one to levy a $1 tax on all
fishermen, even the cane pole
anglers who can fish free in
their home counties at present.
Attempts have been made to tax
the home county fishermen at
several recent sessions but none
has gone over.
