Strain of Double-Headers
By Associated Press
Pity the poor pitchers, caught in
the steaming heat and doublehead
er jam of the steaming four-club
American League race. Even the
best are crumbling under the
strain.
Allie Reynolds, no-hit ace of the
Yankees surge, lasted only one in
ning yesterday against Detroit as
New York lost a 9-8 first game.
Things were so tough that Casey
Stengel brought him back to res
cue Tom Morgan and save the
Yanks’ two-game lead with a 10-6
edge in the second.
Lemon Shellacked
Cleveland’s Bob Lemon was bom
bed in the sixth at Washington
where overworked Mike Garcia, a
13-game winner, had to help save
an 8-6 first game. Early Wynn
failed to last in the second game,
fading for a pinch hitter in Wash
ington’s 4-3 victory.
Only one Boston Red Sox pitch-
” er has gone the route in the last
seven games with the club home at
Fenway Park where it is supposed
to be invincible. Instead of gain-
3 ing ground, the Sox have dropped
2% behind the Yanks.
Ellis Kinder made his fifth ap
pearance in a week yesterday after
Willard Nixon pulled a tendon in
his thigh sliding into a base. Nix
on, inconsistent all season with
only two complete games, was
pitching two-hit ball for seven in
nings when hurt. Walt Masterson
and Kinder nailed down his 5-1
edge over St. Louis.
Chicago Hurler Goes Route
For a change Chicago got a full
nine-inning job as Billy Pierce
whipped Philadelphia, 4-3, to re
main seven games off the pace.
But White Sox pitchers have been
showing the strain during the East
ern swing, Howie Judson and Joe
Dobson in particular.
Brooklyn’s pitching also had a
rough time at Pittsburgh where
the Pirates knocked out Ralph
> Branca and roughed up Loser
Clyde King to win 12-‘9. Ralph
Kiner hit his 27th homer for the
Bucs and Gil Hodges No. 31 for
Brooklyn in the loosely played
’ struggle.
The loss cut the Brooks’ lead to
nine games because New York
split a pair with Chicago, losing
3-2 to Cal McLish and winning
2-0 on Rookie A1 Corwin’s seven-
hit shutout for his first big league
victory.
Despite a 1-0 blanking at the
jands of Cincinnati’s Kenny Raf-
Jensberger, the Phillies held tight
to third place because St. Louis
lost.
Cards Drop Close One
The Cardinals were edged out
by Boston, 2-1, dropping into a
fourth-place tie with the Braves..
Warren Spahn won his 12th on a
five-hitter. Sam Jethroe sped home
. from first on an infield out and
wild throw by Stan Musial to win
the game in the seventh, nullifying
6 2/3 innings of hitless relief
pitching by A1 Brazle.
George Kell, who had a five-hit
day, slashed a single in the eighth
inning to beat the Yankees in the
first game at the Stadium. Kell’s
hit was off Spec Shea but Jack
Kramer was the loser. Two homers
by Gene Woodling and one by
Yogi Berra went to waste. Hank
Bauer drove in three runs and Joe
DiMaggio two in the second game
victory. Even Morgan hit his first
Major League homer but he need-
Bucs Play Benefit
For Julius Sellers
Pittsburgh—(A > )—Not long ago a
group of former Pittsburgh Pi
rates, along with Pitcher Bob Fel
ler of the Cleveland Indians, played
the Pirates an exhibition for the
benefit of Julius Solters.
Solters, a former American
League outfielder, operates a tav
ern here. He has spent thousands
of dollars trying to regain the
sight he started losing 10 years
ago after being hit in the head by
a thrown ball while with the Chi
cago White Sox.
Solters received approximately
$15,000.
But one of the checks which
swelled the more than $12,000 gate
receipts long will be cherished by
Solters. It came from A. B.
Chandler who sent along $250 just
a few days before he quit as base
ball commissioner.
ed help from Reynolds to stave off
a late threat that included Joe
Ginsberg’s three-run homer.
Cleveland came up with three in
the ninth to win the first game at
Washington but succumbed to Ju
lio Moreno’s seven-hit pitching in
the second half of the twilight-
night double. A1 Rosen, Luke East
er and A1 Rosen homered for the
Tribe during the night.
Ted Williams and Vern Stephens
slugged successive first - inning
homers for all the runs the Red
Sox needed to numb tthe Brownies.
Nelson Fox’s ninth-inning double
scoring Pierce was the winning
blow for the White Sox at Phila
delphia.
Brooklyn came at the Pirates,
scoring two runs and loading the
bases when Cal Abrams struck out
to end it. Nine pitchers were used,
five Pirates and four Dodgers.
Rhubarb Mars First Game
Larry Jansen was beaten by the
Cubs in the Giants’ first game at
Chicago, marred by a rhubarb in
the eighth when Manager Leo Du-
rocher insisted that Sal Yvars bat
ted out of turn. He fanned any
how, but the Cubs were ready to
protest to the umpires if he got on
base. Later Durochef admitted he
was wrong.
Corwin retired 15 men in order
until Frank Baumholtz beat out a
bunt. Only three runners reached
second base on the Ottawa grad.
Cincy’s run oft Russ Meyer of
the Phils came in the sixth on
Johnny Wyrostek’s single and Ted
Kluszewski’s double.

play basis.
Bucs Blanks Tribe
For Fifth Straight
The league leading Pirates of
the College Station Summer Soft-
ball League made it five in a row
for second half play yesterday as
they humiliated the Indians, 14-0.
In complete command of the
game at all times because of the
wildness of L. L. Fischer, Indian
hurler, the Pirates scored most of
their runs via the RWI (run walk
ed in) route.
Homer Adams limited the Tribe
batsmen to six hits and also
notched his fiLth win of the sec
ond half play.
A contest between the Tigers
and the Giants at College Park was
rained out and will probably be
replayed either tomorrow or Fri
day of next week, depending on the
decision of managers Les Richard
son and Newt Williams of the
Giants and Tigers respectively.

Minor League
Boss Defends
Farm System
Washington, Aug. 2 —
(AP)—Minor League ruler
George Trautman yesterday
defended baseball’s use of the
“farm system” and “work
ing agreements” between major
and minor league teams.
“There is room for both types
of operations,” he told a congres
sional investigating committee.
And, in response to questions by
Rep. McCullough (R-Ohio), he said
a prohibition of either or both
would be “deterimental” to organ
ized baseball.
He also said minor leagues can
not stand much tampering with
baseball’s rules covering:
• Territorial rights, which gives
a franchise owner the exclusive
right to baseball customers in a
given area; and
• The reserve clause, by which
a player who signs a contract with
a team is thereby prevented from
dealing with any other club un
less his contract is sold, traded
or torn up.
A lot of minor league clubs are
having a tough time of it financial
ly right now, he said, “and the
territorial limit is one of their
chief supports.”
He said, too, that if the teams
don’t have the protection of the
reserve clause those with limited
finances will be eliminated.
The congressmen, intent on soak
ing up quickly enough information
on baseball rules to consider bills
to exempt the game from anti-trust
laws, peppered him with questions.

San Antonio, Aug. 2—(AP)—Texas A&M was establish
ed yesterday as the favorite for the Southwest Conference
football championship by sports writers here for the Texas
Coaching School. They predicted Baylor a close second and
Texas just behind Baylor.
Eight writers picked A&M to win the title, while two
others rated them in a tie for first. Baylor was picked by
five, with one tie, and Texas was first on two ballots, with
one tie.
Texas Christian was picked for fourth place with one
■♦•first place selection and one tie.
Southern Methodist was fifth, Ark
ansas sixth and Rice seventh.
Here’s how they ranked on a point
A&M 118, Baylor 111, Texas 104,
Texas Christian 81, Southern Meth
odist 54, Arkansas 35, Rice 29.
Texas college teams ax - e in fivd
other conferences this year and
college coaches attending school
placed the top teams like this:
Border Conference—Arizona.
Lone Star Conference^—East
Texas State.
Texas Conference — Abilene
Christian College.
Gulf Coast Conference—North
Texas State.
Missouri Valley Conference—
Tulsa.
Practice Session's
While sports writers were “put
ting the monkey on A&M’s back”
by picking them to win the SWC
title this Fall, some of the players
who will probably aid them in fu
ture years, along with other par
ticipants, were reaching the peak
of training for football and bas
ketball games tomorrow night and
Saturday.
Football squads will taper off
today because their battle is to
morrow night but there will be an
other day of hard practice for the
cagers.
Paul Bryant of Kentucky, coach
of the South griddei’s—schoolboy
stars from the Southern region
of the Texas Interscholastic League
—grew optimistic over the chances
of his team beating the North,
coached by Frank Howard of Clefn-
son.
Bryant Sets Defense
Bryant set up his first defensive
unit against Howard’s single wing-
back attack and was pleased with
what the boys did. This team was
composed of Howard Moon, John
Reagan (Houston), and Joe Schero,
Brackenridge (San Antonio) ends;
La Von Cox, Galena Park, and
Jerry Fitzpatrick, Harlingen, tack
les.
Lonnie Martin, Cotulla, Jack
Cruther, Gladewater, guards;
Leighton Younger, Austin, right
linebacker; Don Miller, Port Nech-
es, left linebacker; Billy Quinn,
Jefferson (San Antonio), and Lar
ry Graham, Lamar (Houston),
halfbacks, and Richard Earl Black,
Temple, safety.
Offensively, Bryant said his
three up-men, Duane Nutt, Corsi
cana; Eddie Hennig, Tyler, and
Bobby Page, Leverett’s Chapel,
showed “100 percent improvement.”
The game is being rated a toss-
up although the south has a weight
advantage of eight pounds to the
man in the line.
Forrest Anderson of Bradley,'
coaching the South basketball
squad, and Cliff Wells of Tulane,
tutoring the North, revealed they
had agreed to alternate their teams
at the half so all boys would be
certain to get to play.
