\s Tigers Drop Two
BY RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
Wwalt Dropo, the amiable “Moose’” from Mooseup, Conn.,
e again is striking fear into the hearts of American
.acue pitchers. Dropo, who has experienced more ups
\d downs than a roller coaster in his bid for major league
rdom, has been the hottest batter in the league since
Idependence Day. Bl e oD T S
""l"t:elll\u‘l.s,‘f(;ufirvst baseman of the
otroit Tigers shunted the pennant
aces to the sidelines last mght
{rying a rare major league rec
"d-12 consecutive hits. Pinky
iggins set the record in 1938 with
o Boston Red Sox and Dropo is
he first to equal the mark.
Misses Chance

he record when he fouled out in
he seventh inning of the second
yme of a twi-night doubleheader
sainst the Senators in Washing
'\ The 28-year-old slugger then
ingled home two TUDS in the
ninth,
Despite Dropo’s lusty hitting the
Jil-end Tigers dropped both ends
i their twin~bill to Washington,
-2 and 9-8.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland In
ians reduced the Yanks’ lead to
1, games by downing the Bomb

Wynn Wins Tenth
Early Wynn, backed by a nine
hit attack which included home
runs by Harry Simpson and Luke
Easter, coasted to his 10th victory
in the opener of the important five
game series at Yankee Statium.
Home runs by Yogi Berra, Joe
Collins and Mickey Mantle ac
counted for all of the Yanks’
runs but by the time the.New
Yorkers found the range the In
dians were enjoying a 7-0 lead.
Rookie first baseman Dick Ger
nert clouted two home runs and
George Kell one to account for all
the Boston’s runs in its victory
over the White Sox.
The A’s pulled the opener out of
the fire from the Browns with a
six-run ninth-inning rally that
was climaxed by a grand-slam
homer by Eddie Joost. Joost's
winning blast came at the expense
of Satchel Paige.
Venerable Bo Bo Newson went
the distance in the second game
and scattered 10 hits.
Koslo Beats Cards
Lefty Dave Koslo, although re
lieved in the sixth by relief ace
Hoyt Wilhelm, gained credit for
his 12th straight victory over the
Cardinals since mid-season of
1950. The Giant veteran, hitless
prior to the game, batted in two
runs on a double and single and
scored once. )
Curtis Simmons breezed to his
ninth victory in beating the
Pirates. Rookie Mel Clark’s grand
slam homer in the third, his first
of the season, staked Simmons to
a 4-0 lead and the Phils sewed it
up with three more in the fifth
against Howie Pollet,
The Braves scored seven un
earned runs to beat the Cubs.

James, 12 To 6
. BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
The Amvets made it two in a row in the winner’s circle
last night as they pulled together behind the five-hit hurl
ing of Aubry Simmons to overcome a four-run deficit in the
first inning and emerge victorious, 12-6, over Charlie
James. Today the Amvets sit next to the driver’s seat in
second place in the l@_uniqigal}:g‘agug; it AR
Stepping into the leadln& hit
ter's spotlight for the first time is
Dupree Wilkes, Charlie James
first baseman. Wilkes banged out
a homerun over the centerfield
fence immediately after Uke Cape
slammed his, and rapped two base
hit singles to add three more RBl's
on his total.
Harold Ownesby sparked the
winning batsman, belting three
singles in three official trips to
the plate. Junior Collie, Thomas
Spratlin, and L. C. England, each
collected two hits. The three hit
ters pushed six runs accross with
their wood slinging.
It was Simmons third win
against only one loss. Going all the
way for the victors, the Amvet
regular tossing artist walked ele
ven and struckout ten. Dummy
Farr was charged with the loss.
He sent six batters down swing
ing but was touched for twelve
hits—a deciding factor in the final
outcome.
~ Squaring off tonight under the
arc-light contest will be the fourth
place Smithies against the last
‘place Lyndon House in what
should be a bang-up game.

Crackers, 6-0

On Two-Hitter
:
| By The Associated Press
To the Atlanta Crackers, Bill
lKennedy is the termite of Rick
wood Park—the railroading rene
gade who pitched them silly last
night and made their league lead
look like a huge mistake.
' On the way to Birmingham the
Crackers were the hottest ciub in
the Southern Association. Last
night at Rickwood they were the
coldest.
With the same studied insolence
as Sunday, Birmingham defeated
Atlanta 6-0. Kennedy’s two-hit
pitching knocked Atlanta from the
undisputed league lead into a tie
for first with Chattanooga. Sun
day Birmingham knocked New
Orleans out of first to let Atlanta
in.
Kennedy was a Cracker in 1949
between railroad jobs in Virginia.
Last summer was spent with New
Orleans. Last night he spent mor
tifying the Crackers. Jim Solt was
the only one of six Crackers hit
ting .300 or better to get a hit.
New Orleans, idled by rain, al
most got back into first place by
staying home where it was dry.
The Pels are .001 of a point be
hind the Atlanta-Chattanocoga tie,
Chattanooga won from Nashville,
2-0. Together with New Orleans,
Mobile was idle. Memphis rounded
out activity with a 5-4 victory
over Little Rock.
