 NEW YORK — Receiving the kind of start-

ing pitching they hoped would wing them to a

third consecutive American League pennant,

the Yankees swept the Red Sox in a double-

header Saturday. 

Ed Lopat fired his sixth shutout, tying for the

major league lead, as the Bombers won the first

game 6-0, and rookie Tom Morgan struck out a

season-high 10 in going the distance in a 3 -1

victory in the nightcap. 

Instead of whipping Casey Stengel’s charges

into a triumphant frenzy, however, the twin

wins merely ushered them one day closer to the

end of a disappointing season by the team’s

historical standards. 

Cleveland’s victory over Detroit on Saturday

consigned the Yankees to fourth place, just

their third finish below third place since 1919

 — the year before they filched Babe Ruth from

Boston. The others came in 1945, a war year,

and 1925, the year Ruth was limited to 98

games by an ulcer euphemistically referred to

as “the bellyache heard ’round the world.”  

Lopat (17-10) and Morgan (10-6) lowered

the Yanks’ team ERA to 3.82, 33 points lower

than 1950. But that improvement has been

more than offset by the team’s offensive drop -

off of nearly one run per game.  

Rookie shortstop Jim Brideweser led the

Yanks with four hits in Game 1, as many as the

Red Sox managed off Lopat. Red Sox starter

Leo Kiely (7-5) lost his fifth consecutive deci-

sion after starting his major league career with

seven straight wins. 

Brideweser had three more hits in the second

game. Loser Mickey McDermott (11 -5) struck

out 10 in eight innings. Both teams withheld

regular starters, including Joe DiMaggio, who

could be making his Yankees farewell today,

and Ted Williams, the Boston star who fouled a

 ball off his oft-injured right foot Friday.

season, Spahn was 1-4 with a 7.61 ERA against

 New York, 10-9 with a 4.16 ERA against the

rest of the National League. 

Spahn has lost more games to the Giants than

to any other team during his time with the

Braves. His career mark against them is 14-16

with a 4.31 ERA. Against the rest of the loop he

is 97-71 with a 3.14 ERA. 

Don Mueller’s two-run triple was the winning

 blow for the Giants. Dave Koslo ( 9-5) got credit

for the win with two shutout innings of relief.

CINCINNATI (AP) — George Denman,

nounced the umpires for the World Series.  

For the National League, they are Al Barlick

nate, and for the American League, William R.

Summers and Joseph Paparella with John Ste-

The alternates probably will be used on the

Meanwhile, Tribe pilot Al Lopez refused to

go along with the opinion expressed by some

fans that his Indians gave up in the stretch.  

“They never quit – not once,” he declared.

visiting Dodgers eased past the Phillies, 7 -1. 

 Newcombe (22-6) allowed one run in six

frames, lowering his major league-leading

ERA to 1.93. Gil Hodges hit his 37th home run

for the Bums. 

Robin Roberts (18-14) took the loss for the

Phillies. Puddin’ Head Jones extended his hit

streak to 19 games, tied for third-longest in the

Senior Circuit this season. 

Ewell Blackwell (10-14) threw a five-hitter

and drove in two runs as the Reds downed the

host Pirates, 9-3. 

Randy Jackson hit a three-run homer in a

five-run sixth-inning rally as the Cubs snapped

the Cards’ eight-game win streak, 9-6. Chica-

go’s Hank Sauer added his 33rd home run.  

AROUND THE HORN 

Elsewhere in the American League: 

Bud Stewart had five hits and four RBI to

help the White Sox rally from a 10 -1 deficit after

two innings to stun the host Browns, 14-10. 

St. Louis shortstop Bud Thomas slugged a

three-run homer in the first inning and had an

RBI single in the second to help the Browns to

their early lead. Stewart and Bud Sheely had

four RBI each to lead the Chicago comeback. 

Reliever Luis Aloma (11-2) hurled 4 2/3 in-

nings of scoreless relief to earn the win. 

Gus Zernial poled his 41st home run and had

four RBI as the A’s edged the host Senators, 7 -5. 

Zernial leads the majors in circuit clouts and

RBI (157). Philly reliever Morrie Martin (6 -7)

allowed one run in 4 1/3 innings of relief.  

Dick Rozek (4-2)  twirled a five-hit shutout

for his first major league win as the Indians

 blanked the visiting Tigers, 2-0. 

The win clinched a third- place finish for the

Tribe. Loser Bob Cain (7-9) allowed two runs in

six innings. 

BOSTON — Warren Spahn won’t miss seeing

the Giants during the offseason. Then again, he

rarely does. 

Spahn, the Braves’ redoubtable southpaw, lost

a heart- breaker Saturday in his final start of the

season, 4-2 in 10 innings to New York. 

After throwing nine splendid frames, he was

yanked by Boston pilot Tommy Holmes follow-

ing Bobby Thomson’s leadoff single in the 10th.

The Giants reached reliever Vern Bickford for

two runs. Spahn (11-13) was charged with the

first of the two tallies, and with the loss. 

It marks the first losing season in Spahn’s big

league career. For that he can blame the team

wearing orange and black.

Milwaukee Sentinel 

The deal for the Browns has been scuttled,

 but Milwaukee’s road to a big league baseball

franchise is far from blocked.  

That’s the studied opinion of Lou Perini,

 president of the Boston Braves, and therefore

actually big boss of the Brewers, too.  

Perini hasn’t changed his mind either about

the ultimate solution. It’s still expansion of the

two majors into 12-team leagues – not a third

league on the Pacific Coast or elsewhere.  

“We may even be closer to it than anyone

realizes,” was Perini’s encouraging view during

his recent visit to Milwaukee. 

“I doubt the Pacific Coast Leaguers are as

sincere about going major as the majors are

about bringing baseball to the coast,” he added.

“Los Angeles and San Francisco are big league

spots without question. Maybe Oakland and

Hollywood, too. But they can’t possibly believe

that Portland, Seattle, Sacramento and San Die-

go are equipped for big league ball.”  

Although he didn’t say so directly, Perini

hinted strongly that talk about a third big

league is so much window dressing for what

the Pacific Coast is really seeking: Relief from

the draft. 

Defends Basic Idea Behind Draft  

“The draft situation isn’t nearly as bad as

they paint it either,” the Braves’ chief went on.

“They still talk about Ferris Fain being picked

off by the Athletics for a measly $10,000. That

turned out to be a terrific bargain. But just try to

name me another. George Metkovich? It’s true

that he was brought into the Coast League for

$25,000 and picked up for the draft price of

$10,000. But he isn’t a $25,000 ballplayer. He

isn’t a big leaguer. 

“Maybe there should be an adjustment in

 price. But the basic idea behind the draft is

sound. It was adopted to guarantee every player

an opportunity to get into the big time, which is

the logical goal of everybody who attempts

 baseball as a career. 

“Wouldn’t it be a miscarriage of justice if a

man like George Crowe, for instance, could be

kept in the minor leagues all his life without

getting a chance in the big show? Without the

draft that could be done. Under draft rules he

can be held back just so long. Then an owner

must sell or run the risk of having him drafted

for much less money.”  

Salenger’s ‘Fair Market Value’ Draft Plan  

What’s Perini’s proposed lineup of clubs if

and when realignment comes?  

“The four coast clubs mentioned – L.A.,

Frisco, Hollywood and Oakland – added to one

league, and Milwaukee, Houston, Baltimore

and Montreal to the other,” he said.  

Denver, which has drawn close to a half mil-

lion with a Class A club, already is being eyed

as the spot for the A.A. franchise if and when

Milwaukee acquires big league status.  

“The thing that can be worked out, must be

worked out,” was Perini’s emphatic concluding

statement. 

Oscar Salenger, ex-Brewer owner and a re-

cent visitor here, too, agrees with Perini on the

draft price adjustment proposal. Said Oscar:  

“I think the Coast League would be foolish

for trying to go independent, but I don’t blame

the owners for talking about it.  

“Here’s the way I believe they can be

 brought back into the fold: Forget about a flat

draft price. Instead, have a qualified committee

decide the fair market value of any player draft-

ed. Maybe it would be $20,000. Maybe two or

three times that much. Whatever the decision,

the drafting club would have to abide by it.

That would eliminate promiscuous drafting by

the majors. And each minor league club would

 be guaranteed a fair price.” 

Makes sense, doesn’t it?
