Browns Garver Snaps Indians Streak; Tribe Exacts Revenge in DH Nightcap

ST. LOUIS The Indians finally lost. Turns out it was a temporary condition. The Tribe was throttled, 10-0, in the first game of its doubleheader with the Browns on Sunday. It marked Clevelands first defeat of the season after eight consecutive wins. It also marked the end of the Browns ninegame losing streak. For this they could thank Ned Garver. Garver (2-1) cooled the streaking Indians with a seven-hit shutout. He got plenty of help from left fielder Ray Coleman, who doubled home a run in the first, cracked a three-run homer in the fifth and finished with five RBI. Early Wynn (2-1) was roughed up to the tune of six runs in 4 1/3 innings and took his first loss. But Cleveland roared back in the nightcap. Center fielder Larry Doby singled twice, homered twice and drove in five runs and the Indians gained a split with a 12-5 win. Leadoff hitter Dale Mitchell added five hits in support of Mike Garcia (2-0), who earned the win despite allowing five runs in 5 2/3 innings. Al Widmar (0-3) allowed four runs in 3 2/3 innings and took the loss. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere around the American League: Charlie Silveras pinch-hit, two-run double capped a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave the Yankees a 4-3 victory over the Senators. The uprising began with two out and no one on base. Jackie Jensen, Joe Collins and Phil Rizzuto stroked consecutive singles off Bob Ross to cut the Nats lead to 3-2. Exit Ross and enter Julio Moreno, whose second pitch was hammered by Silvera to produce the winning runs. Joe Ostrowski (2-0) got the win in relief of Eddie Lopat. Ross (0-2) took the loss. Late-game replacement Wally Moses got just one at-bat, but he made it count with an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th to boost the Athletics to a 7-6 win over Boston in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The As blew a 5-1 lead after four innings and had to scratch for the eighth-inning run that forced extra innings. Bobby Shantz (1-1), normally a starter, got the win after contributing an inning of scoreless relief. The second game was called after two innings because of curfew. Ken Holcombe (1-1) threw a five-hitter as visiting Chicago topped Detroit, 6-1. Hank Majeski drove in three runs and Eddie Robinson hit his third homer for the Sox.

Jansens Strong Start Continues in Giants 4-1 Victory Over Dodgers

BROOKLYN At this rate Larry Jansen has a chance to lead the National League in ERA. He might even win more games than he loses. Jansen, the Giants leading winner each of the past four years, continued his strong pitching Sunday with a complete game 4-1 win over the Dodgers. He has yet to allow more than one earned run in any of his four starts and sports an 0.96 ERA. The results havent always matched the numbers. Sundays win evened Jansens record at 22; unearned runs cost him losses at Boston and at Philadelphia. He is 2-0 against the Brooks. The Dodgers actually outhit Leo Durochers charges, 5-4. But the Giants had the biggest blow, Bobby Thomsons two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie in the fourth. Brooklyn starter Carl Erskine (1-2) undermined his otherwise strong outing by walking in a pair of runs in the seventh. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Vern Law fired a seven-hit shutout as the first-place Pirates blanked the Reds, 7-0, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The Bucs supported Law with three runs in both the first and second innings. Gus Bell had a two-run triple in the former, and Catfish Metkovich had a two-run double in the latter. Cincy starter Ken Raffensberger fell to 0-3 after allowing six runs (three earned) in 2 2/3 innings. The nightcap was called after 10 innings because of curfew. Harry Brecheen tossed a four-hitter for his 25th career shutout as the Cardinals topped the Cubs, 3-0. Enos Slaughter had four hits and scored a run for St. Louis. Cards third baseman Don Richmond went 0-for-5 and saw his average dip to an anemic .045, but drove in a pair of runs with ground ball outs. Brecheen (1-0) struck out five and walked two. Cubs starter Frank Hiller (2-1), allowed three runs on six hits, while walking eight. The Phillies and Braves split a doubleheader in Boston. Sam Jethroe hit two homers giving him a major league-leading five and Luis Olmo added three RBI as the Braves won the opener, 8-2. Milo Candini (2-0) tossed three scoreless, hitless innings of relief in the nightcap and the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the eighth to win, 5-2.

A Cure For the Sore Arm? Pitchers Can Only Hope

WASHINGTON (AP) A Washington specialist says he believes he has found a quick treatment for the sore arms that are the bane of baseball. The technique, to relieve bursitis, is reported to get a crippled pitcher back in shape for duty sometimes in as little as five days. The breakthrough by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Everett Gordon has been widely acclaimed, especially in sports circles. Dr. Gordons treatment calls for an injection of a drug in a tiny nerve center in the neck, which can relieve bursitis in five days and break up calcium deposits shortly thereafter. Curt Simmons, Phillies pitcher currently plying his trade in the army, pitched five nohit innings Sunday, leading his 28th Division Keystoners to a 6-1 win over a semi-pro team in Jasper, Ind. Simmons was the first major leaguer to be drafted into the Korean War effort when his national guard unit was activated by the war department last August. Simmons, who won a career-high 17 games in 1950, had to leave the Phils during their push to the National League pennant.

Monday Mornings Sports Wash

Lou Boudreau comes back to Cleveland tomorrow in a Boston Red Sox uniform. The event should cause a little excitement among the citizens in the Ohio city. They worshipped at the Boudreau shrine for several years and all but caused a riot when Lou was stripped of his managerial robes. To Clevelanders, the MacArthur issue was a mere zephyr by comparison with the Boudreau storm. Now Lou returns in an enemy uniform. This will put a strain on the emotions of the customers who will be torn between rooting for an old hero and being loyal to their team. * * * Two of the strongest men, physically speaking, in the National League are Gil Hodges of the Dodgers and Ted Kluszewski, Reds first sacker. Which brings to mind that the Pirates boast of a tough hombre in Clyde McCullough, the peppery catcher. Clyde was a Golden Gloves champion and is quite handy with his dukes. Asked to comment about his fistic ability, he just grins. Man, I cant fight, he said. I just dazzle em with a little footwork! Al Abrams is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sports editor.
