Browns Garver Snaps Indians Streak;Tribe Exacts Revenge in DH
Nightcap
ST. LOUIS The Indians finally lost.
Turns out it was a temporary condition.
The Tribe was throttled, 10-0, in the first
game of its doubleheader with the Browns on
Sunday. It marked Clevelands first defeat of
the season after eight consecutive wins.
It also marked the end of the Browns nine-
game losing streak. For this they could thank
Ned Garver.
Garver (2-1) cooled the streaking Indians
with a seven-hit shutout. He got plenty of help
from left fielder Ray Coleman, who doubled
home a run in the first, cracked a three-run
homer in the fifth and finished with five RBI.
Early Wynn (2-1) was roughed up to the
tune of six runs in 4 1/3 innings and took hisfirst loss.
But Cleveland roared back in the nightcap.
Center fielder Larry Doby singled twice,
homered twice and drove in five runs and the
Indians gained a split with a 12-5 win.
Leadoff hitter Dale Mitchell added five hits
in support of Mike Garcia (2-0), who earned
the win despite allowing five runs in 5 2/3
innings.
Al Widmar (0-3) allowed four runs in 3 2/3
innings and took the loss.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere around the American League:
Charlie Silveras pinch-hit, two-run dou-
ble capped a three-run rally in the bottom of
the ninth inning that gave the Yankees a 4-3
victory over the Senators.
The uprising began with two out and no one
on base. Jackie Jensen, Joe Collins and Phil
Rizzuto stroked consecutive singles off Bob
Ross to cut the Nats lead to 3-2. Exit Ross
and enter Julio Moreno, whose second pitch
was hammered by Silvera to produce the win-
ning runs.
Joe Ostrowski (2-0) got the win in relief of
Eddie Lopat. Ross (0-2) took the loss.
Late-game replacement Wally Moses got
just one at-bat, but he made it count with an RBI
single in the bottom of the 10th to boost the Ath-
letics to a 7-6 win over Boston in the first game
of a scheduled doubleheader.
The As blew a 5-1 lead after four innings and
had to scratch for the eighth-inning run that
forced extra innings. Bobby Shantz (1-1), nor-
mally a starter, got the win after contributing an
inning of scoreless relief.
The second game was called after two innings
because of curfew.
Ken Holcombe (1-1) threw a five-hitter as
visiting Chicago topped Detroit, 6-1. Hank Ma-
jeski drove in three runs and Eddie Robinson hit
his third homer for the Sox.

Notes on the Scorecard
A Cure For the Sore Arm?
Pitchers Can Only Hope
WASHINGTON (AP) A Washington
specialist says he believes he has found a
quick treatment for the sore arms that are the
bane of baseball.
The technique, to relieve bursitis, is re-
ported to get a crippled pitcher back in shape
for duty sometimes in as little as five days.
The breakthrough by orthopedic surgeon
Dr. Everett Gordon has been widely ac-
claimed, especially in sports circles. Dr.
Gordons treatment calls for an injection of a
drug in a tiny nerve center in the neck, which
can relieve bursitis in five days and break up
calcium deposits shortly thereafter.
Curt Simmons, Phillies pitcher currently
plying his trade in the army, pitched five no-
hit innings Sunday, leading his 28th Division
Keystoners to a 6-1 win over a semi-pro team
in Jasper, Ind.
Simmons was the first major leaguer to be
drafted into the Korean War effort when his
national guard unit was activated by the war
department last August.
Simmons, who won a career-high 17 games
in 1950, had to leave the Phils during their
push to the National League pennant.
Enos Slaughter had four hits and scored a run
for St. Louis. Cards third baseman Don Rich-
mond went 0-for-5 and saw his average dip to
an anemic .045, but drove in a pair of runs with
ground ball outs.
Brecheen (1-0) struck out five and walked
two. Cubs starter Frank Hiller (2-1), allowed
three runs on six hits, while walking eight.
The Phillies and Braves split a doubleheader
in Boston.
Sam Jethroe hit two homers giving him a
major league-leading five and Luis Olmo
added three RBI as the Braves won the opener,
8-2.
Milo Candini (2-0) tossed three scoreless,
hitless innings of relief in the nightcap and the
Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the
eighth to win, 5-2.

wise strong outing by walking in a pair of runs
in the seventh.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the National League:
Vern Law fired a seven-hit shutout as the
first-place Pirates blanked the Reds, 7-0, in the
first game of a scheduled doubleheader.
The Bucs supported Law with three runs in
both the first and second innings. Gus Bell had
a two-run triple in the former, and Catfish
Metkovich had a two-run double in the latter.
Cincy starter Ken Raffensberger fell to 0-3
after allowing six runs (three earned) in 2 2/3
innings. The nightcap was called after 10 in-
nings because of curfew.
Harry Brecheen tossed a four-hitter for his
25th career shutout as the Cardinals topped the
Cubs, 3-0.
BROOKLYNAt this rate Larry Jansen has
a chance to lead the National League in ERA.
He might even win more games than he loses.
Jansen, the Giants leading winner each of the
past four years, continued his strong pitching
Sunday with a complete game 4-1 win over the
Dodgers. He has yet to allow more than one
earned run in any of his four starts and sports an
0.96 ERA.
The results havent always matched the num-
bers. Sundays win evened Jansens record at 2 -
2; unearned runs cost him losses at Boston and
at Philadelphia. He is 2-0 against the Brooks.
The Dodgers actually outhit Leo Durochers
charges, 5-4. But the Giants had the biggest
blow, Bobby Thomsons two-run homer that
broke a scoreless tie in the fourth. Brooklyn
starter Carl Erskine (1-2) undermined his other-
Lou Boudreau comes back to Cleveland to-
morrow in a Boston Red Sox uniform.
The event should cause a little excitement
among the citizens in the Ohio city. They wor-
shipped at the Boudreau shrine for several years
and all but caused a riot when Lou was stripped
of his managerial robes. To Clevelanders, the
MacArthur issue was a mere zephyr by com-
parison with the Boudreau storm.
Now Lou returns in an enemy uniform. This
will put a strain on the emotions of the custom-
ers who will be torn between rooting for an old
hero and being loyal to their team.
* * *
Two of the strongest men, physically speak-
ing, in the National League are Gil Hodges of
the Dodgers and Ted Kluszewski, Reds first
sacker. Which brings to mind that the Pirates
boast of a tough hombre in Clyde McCul-lough, the peppery
catcher.
Clyde was a Golden Gloves champion and is
quite handy with his dukes. Asked to comment
about his fistic ability, he just grins.
Man, I cant fight, he said. I just dazzle
em with a little footwork!
