Notes on the Scorecard
Campy to Lead Stars
On Barnstorming Tour
CINCINNATI Joe DiMaggio has
dropped strong hints that 1951 will be his final
go-round. Word from Boston is that nine-time
All-Star Bobby Doerr is about to announce his
retirement. The Tigers are threatening to dump
sore-armed Hal Newhouser, the twirling Prince
twice voted MVP.
Johnny (Double No-Hit) Vander Meer
washed out with Cleveland after just three ap-
pearances this season. Pinch-midget Eddie
Gaedel has been legislated out of baseball.
Almost lost in the mad rush to the exit of
some of the games most famous (and infa-
mous) names has been Giants second baseman
Eddie Stanky, who sparked New York to a 3-1
victory over the Reds on Thursday.
At 36, The Brat is headed for a career low
batting average. Scouts say his bat and feet are
slowing down. While Stanky has been mum on
his future, experts see more value in his mana-
gerial promise than his athletic acumen. Both
St. Louis franchises the Cardinals and the
Browns have been rumored as Stankys in-
augural assignment as a big league skipper.
But on Thursday, Stanky was very much a
player, homering on the games first pitch, add-
ing an RBI single in the second inning and han-
dling seven chances in the field without flaw.
The circuit clout was his career-high 17th. The
man who finished third in the N.L. MVP voting
last year has 53 RBI, tied for his career stand-
ard. Stanky has drawn 121 walks, third in the
majors to Ted Williams and Ralph Kiner.
A candidate for the old folks home? Perhaps
not yet.
New Yorks Jim Hearn (16-10) got the win
despite departing after a 57-minute rain delay
in the fifth inning. Sal Maglie got the final out
for his first save.
Loser Ken Raffensberger (9-18) also left

the fifth inning, and clobbered a two-run circuit
cloud in the seventh.
Winning hurler Johnny Sain (2-1) scattered 10
hits. Rogovin (14-7) allowed six runs in four
innings, suffering his first loss since July 17.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the American League:
Don Johnson won his fourth consecutive de-
cision and Mickey Vernon continued to embel-
lish his career year as the Senators dusted the
visiting Browns, 9-3.
Johnson (10-10) allowed three runs on four
hits in seven innings. St. Louis starter Duane
Pillette (6-16) allowed five runs in 6 1/3 frames
and took the loss.
Vernon was one of three Nats to drive in two
runs. The 1946 A.L. batting titlist now has 106
RBI 13 more than his previous season high.
September sensation Frank Campos went 1-
for-5 for Washington and saw his average plum-
met to .576.
NEW YORKRoy Campanella, already
classed with the great catchers of the Big
Time, will lead one of the greatest collection of
All-Stars in a postseason barnstorming tour.
The itinerary, which includes most of the
southern states, will be released later by Alex
Pompez, director of the tour. This is the fourth
consecutive year that Pompez has sponsored a
barnstorming trip of major league celebrities.
Included in the entourage will be Don New-
combe, Larry Doby, Luke Easter, Suitcase
Simpson, Monte Irvin, Willie Mays and Hank
Thompson.
Frank (Lefty) ODoul, for 17 years the
manager of the San Francisco Seals, said
Thursday the would be interested, of course
in any baseball managerial opening, but that he
had not been contacted by the Red Sox as a
possible successor to Steve ONeill as manag-
er.
ODoul was recently released when the San
Francisco club was put up for sale.
Joe Cronin, general manager of the Red Sox
is a native San Franciscan, as is ODoul.
Dixie Walker has signed a new one-year
contract to continue as manager of the minor
league Atlanta Crackers.
after the rain delay. John Pramesa tagged his
seventh home run, a career high, for Cincy.
The second-place Giants moved to within 7
games of Brooklyn.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the National League:
Stan Musial continued his push to the Triple
Crown with three hits and two RBI as the Cardi-
nals eased past the visiting Dodgers, 7-1.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning
on Andy Pafkos run-scoring ground out. Musi-
als leadoff single sparked a two-run rally in the
fourth, and his two-run double highlighted a five
-run rally in the eighth. He leads the loop with 37
homers, 139 RBI and a .350 average.
Cliff Chambers (8-13) got the win, allowing
one run in 6 1/3 innings. Carl Erskine (9-8) took
the loss. Brooklyns magic number remains at 2.
NEW YORK Nobodys perfect.
The White Sox and pitcher Saul Rogovin had
been challenging that old adage of late. But the
law of averages reasserted itself Thursday as the
Yankees pummeled the ChiSox, 9-3.
The loss snapped Chicagos seven-game win
streak, and Rogovins skein of nine consecutive
winning decisions. But the Sox remained in con-
trol of the Junior Circuit flag chase, seven games
ahead of Boston with a magic number of three.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first
inning on Al Zarillas career-high 13th home run
(and second in two games). But New Yorks
Gene Woodling poled his first career grand slam
in the bottom of the frame for a 4-1 Yankees
lead. New York third sacker Bobby Brown had
an RBI single in a three-run New York rally in
CHICAGO (U.P.) Baseballs top execu-
tives met Thursday to select a new commis-
sioner, and Cincinnatis Warren Giles was the
top candidate.
The president of the Reds, who came up the
hard way through the National League, rated a
favorite over the league president, Ford Frick,
regarded as the only
other challenger for the
rich post, which was
expected to pay up-
ward of $50,000 a
year.
The latest club own-
er to announce his sup-
port of Giles was Roy
Mack, representing the
Athletics.
I make no secret of
my choice, he said.
Im for Giles. He
started out with my
brother, Earle, in
Mohne and he has
come up with the
game.
He knows baseball
thoroughly and he is
extremely interested in it. I think hell make a
fine commissioner. But that doesnt mean I
would object to Frick.
Del Webb, co-owner of the Yankees and
chairman of the screening committee which
was charged with reducing the field of candi-
dates for Thursdays first official meeting to
name the successor to A.B. (Happy) Chandler,
said he hoped that everybody had their man.
Most of the owners anticipated that there
would be no deadlock in the voting and that the
top man of the game would be named soon.
Walter O. Briggs of the Tigers said his vote
would also be cast for Giles and added:
Why not? Hes a very good man.
Giles refused to make any comment about
the boom for him.
I have absolutely nothing to say, he said as
the owners gathered.
Frick, who was not present, said in Miami on
Wednesday that he would accept the job if of-
fered.
