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 Stengels charges
into a triumphant frenzy, however, the twin
wins merely ushered them one day closer to the
end of a disappointing season by the teams
historical standards.
Clevelands 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 teams 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 Muellers 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.

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-
gos 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 As 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 wont 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 Thomsons 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 Spahns 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 Milwaukees road to a big league baseball
franchise is far from blocked.
Thats the studied opinion of Lou Perini,
president of the Boston Braves, and therefore
actually big boss of the Brewers, too.
Perini hasnt changed his mind either about
the ultimate solution. Its 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 Perinis 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 cant possibly believe
that Portland, Seattle, Sacramento and San Die-
go are equipped for big league ball.
Although he didnt 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 isnt 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? Its true
that he was brought into the Coast League for
$25,000 and picked up for the draft price of
$10,000. But he isnt a $25,000 ballplayer. He
isnt 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.
Wouldnt 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.
Salengers Fair Market Value Draft Plan
Whats Perinis 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 Perinis 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 dont blame
the owners for talking about it.
Heres 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, doesnt it?
