Notes on the Scorecard
N.L. President Frick
Docks Three Dodgers
ST. LOUIS Clearly success has not gone
to the heads of the White Sox.
In their first games since clinching the
American League pennant, the first for the Chi-
Sox since before Prohibition, the new flag-
bearers displayed sturdy pitching, clutch hitting
and error-free defense in a doubleheader sweep
of the Browns.
In another fortuitous circumstance in a sea-
son full of them, the White Sox clinched the
pennant Tuesday on the eve of a two-day break
in their schedule. Thus, they were able to en-
gage in a good and proper celebration and still
be ready for their next game.
Ken Holcombe (11-7) pitched it, scattering
nine hits in a route-going 8-4 triumph in the
opener. He was supported by two RBI each
from Eddie Robinson (who poled his 30th
home run), Ray Coleman (who reached 101
RBI for the season) and Don Lenhardt.
Holcombe, a .333 hitter, helped himself with
two hits, a run and an RBI.
Browns starter Bob Mahoney (4-4), making
his 67th appearance of the season, allowed five
runs in 3 1/3 innings and took the loss.
Howie Judson (9-7) followed Holcombes
nine-hitter with one of his own in a 6-1 win in
the nightcap. September call-up Jim Dyck sin-
gled home the games first run to give the
Browns a lead in the bottom of the second in-
ning. But the White Sox scored twice in the
fourth for a lead they would never relinquish.
Robinson added two more RBI, giving him
four in the double-dip and 128 for the season,
second in the American League.
Duane Pillette (6-17) allowed three runs in
six innings and lost his third consecutive start.
Celebrations aside, the White Sox have been
the majors best team since July 27, going 44-
13 for a phenomenal .772 winning percentage
which, over a full season, would give them 119

tional League.
Its a far cry from last year, when the gangly
(6-2, 185-pound) 24-year-old led the N.L. in
walks, and topped the majors in earned runs and
wild pitches. He dramatically cut those numbers
in 1951, from 135 walks to 70, 145 earned runs
to 62, and 11 wild pitches to two.
Wehmeier, a .317 hitter, scored both Cincy
runs Friday, the first after a third-inning double,
and the game-deciding tally after drawing a
leadoff walk in the seventh.
Wehmeier fanned six and walked four. Los-
ing pitcher Len Yochim (0-2) allowed two runs
in six innings, and drove in the Bucs only run.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the National League:
NEW YORK (AP) President Ford Frick of
the National League fined three Brooklyn play-
ers Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and
Preacher Roe for causing a scene in front of
the umpires dressing room after Thursdays
controversial Brooklyn-Boston game in Bos-
ton. Dodger players kicked at the door of the
umpires room after the game.
Frick, newly elected commissioner of base-
ball, took no action against catcher Campanella
for his argument with umpire Frank Dascoli in
the eighth inning which led to Campanellas
ejection from the game.
Robinson and Campanella were fined $100
each and Roe was fined $50.
Ted Williams was hospitalized Friday for X
-rays of a bruised right foot. The pictures re-
vealed no fracture of the foot, which was in-
jured by a foul tip off the Boston sluggers own
bat. Williams had injured the same foot simi-
larly several times during the season.
Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell put on a
polished performance against fellow Alabami-
ans Friday night, fanning 14 Birmingham Bar-
ons as he fashioned a four-hit shutout that gave
Houstons Buffs a 1-0 victory and evened the
Dixie Series at one game each.
September call-up Karl Drews (2-2) twirled
a five-hitter and batterymate Andy Seminick
blasted a go-ahead three-run home run as the
Phillies squeaked past the Dodgers, 4-3.
Drews went the route for just the fourth
time in 41 major league starts. He and the Phils
trailed 3-1 until Seminicks seventh-inning
blast off loser Carl Erskine (9-9), making his
final starting tune-up before the World Series.
Duke Snider pounded his 37th home run,
second in the loop, for the Dodgers. Brooklyn
left fielder Andy Pafko drove in two runs to
boost his season total to 99.
Puddin Head Jones, Philadelphias third
sacker, upped his hit streak to 18 games, tied
for fourth-longest in the N.L. this year.
victories. As it is, their 97 wins surpass the total
of the 1920 White Sox for second in franchise
history.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the American League:
Ted Williams two-run home run and Mel
Parnells seven strong innings gave the Red Sox
a 5-4 win in the opener, and Yogi Berras tie-
breaking single gave the Yankees a 2-1 triumph
in the closer as Boston and New York fought to
a doubleheader split.
Catcher Aaron Robinsons two-run homer
gave Boston a 2-0 lead in the third inning of the
first game. The Bombers cut the lead to 3-2 after
seven, only to see Williams put the contest out
of reach with his 26th circuit clout in the eighth.
Parnell improved to 13-9 with the win. Allie
Reynolds allowed five runs in seven innings and
fell to 13-11.
Berras single made a winner of reliever John-
ny Sain (4-1). Boston starter Bill Wight (7-7)
allowed two runs on five hits in 7 1/3 innings
and took the loss.
PITTSBURGH There was a lot of talk this
spring about the Reds their strong finish to the
1950 season, their stable of young talent, their
high hopes for 1951.
You didnt hear much about starting pitcher
Herm Wehmeier, the hometown boy who could
wind up being the happiest story in the Reds
first cellar finish since 1937.
Wehmeier, the pride of Western Hills High
School in the Queen City, hurled a six-hitter Fri-
day night as the Reds topped the Pirates, 2-1. It
was the fourth consecutive victory for Wehmeier
and his third route-going effort in a row.
The victory, in what figures to be Wehmeiers
final start of 1951, gave him a career high of 12
and lowered his ERA to 2.99, fourth in the Na-

After Two-Day Celebratory Break,
White Sox Return to Winning Ways
CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP) Gabe Paul,
newly installed general manager of the Cincin-
nati Reds, said Friday that he would re-shuffle
the club to bring it up the ladder next year
but that Luke Sewell would remain as manager.
Powell Crosley, Jr., owner of the Reds, an-
nounced Thursday night that Paul would suc-
ceed Warren Giles, who resigned to become
president of the National League.
Immediately after the announcement, Paul
made it was clear he was set to take the reins.
Well start writing off the deadwood weve
got on the club right now, Paul said.
Everybody on the club is open for a trade.
The first thing I asked for was the retention
of Sewell. I think hes the best manager in
baseball.
Sewell, who took over the Reds for the final
three games of the 1949 season, is 121-187 as
Cincinnati skipper.
Paul served under Giles for the past 25 years.
Before his elevation, Paul was vice president
and traveling secretary.
Crosley will take over as nominal president.
Giles had been both president and GM.
The Reds have clinched last place in the Na-
tional League. It will be their first cellar-
dwelling finish since 1937.
