Pirates Pitcher’s Wife OK After Suicide Try

PITTSBURGH, PA. (AP)  –   Mrs. Goldie

Queen, 27-year-old wife of Pittsburgh Pirates

 pitcher Mel Queen, tried to end her life Friday

 because “she’s sick and tired of baseball,” po-lice said.

Mrs. Queen was found semi-conscious in the

living room of her home shortly after Queen

had telephoned a neighbor from St. Louis to

“see that everything was all right.” The

Queens’ three small children were not over-

come by the gas which flowed full blast from a

living room stove.

Mrs. Queen was revived quickly and was

reported in satisfactory condition at Pitts-

 burgh’s South Side Hospital. 

Police Sgt. Hillenbrand gave this version:

Queen called his wife from St. Louis on Friday

night. Mrs. Queen was melancholy and threat-

ened to take her life.

After talking to her for several minutes,

Queen hung up, but called a neighbor, Mrs.

Earla Cotter. He asked her to “take a look in

the house and see that everything is all right.” 

Patrolman William McCoy helped take Mrs.

Queen to the hospital in a police ambulance.

McCoy said that the Queens’ children,

Douglas, 9, Gary, 4, and June, 7, were sleeping

upstairs when Mrs. Queen turned on the gas.

Dodgers Carry Fight to Giants,Homer Five Times in 7-3 Win

 NEW YORK  —   It was difficult to pick a

winner in the skirmish between Giants pitcher

Sal Maglie and Dodgers second sacker Jackie

Robinson at Ebbets Field back on April 30.

 Not so now.

The Brooks hit five solo home runs off

Maglie on Saturday en route to a 7-3 victory

that boosted their National League lead to six

games over New York.

You read correctly: The Barber got poled.

Things have changed since the dust-up, oc-

casioned when Robinson bunted up the first

 base line to initiate a confrontation with

Maglie. Brooklyn, which started the season 2-4

against the Giants, has gone 9-4 against them

since.

Maglie, who won his first two starts against

the Dodgers, is 0-4 with a 5.25 ERA against

them since, allowing 10 homers in 36 innings.

Gil Hodges gave Brooklyn starter Ralph

Branca a 2-0 lead with solo homers in the sec-

ond and fourth innings. It gave him 32 circuit

clouts, tied for the National League lead.

With the score 2-1, the Dodgers played long-

 ball in the top of the sixth inning. Duke Snider

and Robinson homered back-to-back to lead off

the frame. Maglie finally retired Hodges on a

strikeout, but Roy Campanella crashed a solo

shot to left field to make it a 5-1 game.

The Giants got into the spirit of things, as

Monte Irvin and Ray Noble each tagged solo

home runs. But it was too little, too late.

Branca (8-6) fired a six-hitter for his eighthcomplete game. Maglie (15-10), who had never

allowed more than three home runs in a single

game during his career, lost for the first time

since Aug. 8.

The teams will conclude their two-game se-

ries today. If the Dodgers win they will lead by

seven games with 25 to play. Only two teams

in major league history —  the 1934 Giants and

Starting pitcher Ken Holcombe (7-7) was the

other White Sox stalwart Saturday. He threw all

12 innings (three more than his previous career

high), holding Detroit to a single unearned run,

WASHINGTON (AP)  –   When the New

York Yankees arrived here for Saturday’s

game with the Washington Senators, JohnnySain, their latest pitching acquisition, was wait-

ing to greet them.

The former Boston Braves right-hander told

Yankee manager Casey Stengel: “My arm is

sound and I’m ready to work hard and often.”  

Asked about his 7-9 record with the Braves,

Sain replied: “I pitched better ball than the re-

cord shows.” 

Charlie Grimm will return as manager of

the Triple-A Milwaukee Brewers in 1952, he

announced Saturday. He signed a new contract

with Richard (Red) Smith, general manager, at

a salary reported to be in excess of $15,000,

the highest in the American Association.

A few hours later, Grimm’s Brewers

clinched the pennant.“I decided to sign to put to rest rumors that I

would leave here and return to the majors,”

said Grimm. “You will recall that when I

signed my 1951 contract last winter that I said

this was the end of the line for me: that I would

finish my career in Milwaukee. I’ve spent the

happiest days of my life with the Brewers. The

fans have been wonderful to me.”

was thwarted in his third attempt for his 18th

win.

Ken Wood belted his 15th home run for St.

Louis. The Tribe had eight hits, four for extra

 bases, but stranded 10 runners.

Cleveland, which won 12 of its first 13

games against the Browns this season, has lost

three of its past four with St. Louis.

Mickey Mantle drove in three runs, his first

RBI since being recalled from the minors, as

the Yankees whipped host Washington, 11-5.

Bobby Brown also had three RBI for New

York. Ed Lopat (14-8) was just good enough

over 5 2/3 frames to win his first fourth con-

secutive start, all on the road.

the 1938 Pirates  —  have failed to win the pen-

nant after leading by seven games in September.

AROUND THE HORN

Elsewhere in the National League:

Puddin’ Head Jones cracked his 21st home

run and had five RBI as the Phillies stomped the

visiting Braves, 7-3.

Jones also singled, tripled and scored three

runs. Ken Johnson (4-8) got the win. Boston

starter Warren Spahn allowed two runs on 10

hits in 4 2/3 innings. He received no decision.

Randy Jackson’s tie- breaking three-run

homer capped a seven-run rally in the bottom of

the sixth inning as the Cubs handed the visiting

Reds their eighth consecutive loss, 11-7.

Connie Ryan had a three-run triple for Cincy.

Bill Howerton’s pinch-hit three-run homer

 broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the eighth, and the

Pirates went on to beat the host Cardinals, 10-5.

Bill Werle (9-8) got the win with six shutout

innings of relief.

White Sox Go 12 Innings to Nip Tigers, Win 10th StraightDETROIT —  Beware if major league players

ever form a union. The White Sox will be looking

to work all the overtime they can get.

Ray Coleman homered on the first pitch of the

top of the 12th inning Saturday night, giving

American League-leading Chicago its 10th con-

secutive win, 2-1 over the Detroit Tigers.

The White Sox are now 12-2 in extra-inning

games. No team in the majors has won as many

extra-inning affairs, or lost fewer. Chicago leads

the Junior Circuit by one game over the Red Sox,

whose game against St. Louis was postponed by

rain.

Acquired from the Browns on July 31, Cole-

man is hitting .346 in 27 games for Chicago. He

has 12 home runs and 85 RBI for the year, both
