Vollmer Homers, Squeezes Boston To Doubleheader Sweep of Browns

BOSTON Outhitting their opponents one game and outpitching them the next, the Red Sox swept the Browns in a doubleheader Sunday, 14-5 and 4-3, to move into third place, two games behind league-leading Cleveland. The games had a common denominator his name is Clyde Vollmer. Vollmer, an outfielder who started just eight of Bostons first 53 games, got the nod in both ends of Sundays double-dip and made the most of his opportunity. He went 4-for-4 in the opener, tying career highs with two home runs and five RBI. Bobby Doerr added three hits, three runs and three RBI, while Ted Williams had three hits and two batted in. Ray Scarborough (2-3) got the win, despite allowing five runs in 8 1/3 innings. The Browns Jim Suchecki (0-2) was roughed up for five runs in one inning of work. Vollmer went hitless in the second game, but his squeeze bunt in the bottom of the eighth broke a 3-3 tie and fetched home the deciding run. Mel Parnell (6-3) threw a fourhitter to win his third consecutive decision. St. Louis has lost five in a row. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the American League: Bob Chakales fired a seven-hitter and capped a six-run first inning rally with an RBI fly out as the front-running Indians trimmed the host Senators, 6-2. All the scoring came in the first inning. The Tribes six-run uprising was highlighted by Al Rosens two-run single. The Nats scored twice in the span of four batters to open their half of the frame, with Irv Noren and Mickey Vernon collecting RBI. But Chakales, in tossing his first complete game, buckled down, retiring 19 of the final 23 batters he faced. Fred Sanford (2-2), making his first start since being traded to Washington from the Yankees, was chased after allowing six runs without recording an out. Philadelphias Carl Scheib tossed a three-hit shutout and Chicagos Orestes Minoso knocked in four runs as the As and visiting White Sox split a doubleheader, 9-0 and 10-4. Scheib (7-4) allowed just three singles in hurling his sixth career whitewash in the opener. Gus Zernial belted his 12th homer for the As. Minosos second-game heroics made a winner of Luis Aloma (1-1), who went the route in his first start of the season. Ted Gray won his third straight start as the Tigers vanquished the host Yankees, 4-2. Gray (5-6) scattered 11 hits in a complete game effort, outdueling Allie Reynolds (5-4). The Bombers Yogi Berra cracked his fifth home run, extending his hit streak to 10 games.

Once-Mighty Giants Cut Down to Size by Pirates Sweep

PITTSBURGH It was just a week ago that the Giants were riding a five-game win streak and leading the National League by 7 games. Leo Durochers charges limped out of Pittsburgh on Sunday after being swept in a doubleheader, their lead reduced to four after seven losses in nine games against the three worst teams in the Senior Circuit. Meanwhile, the Pirates boast a three-game win streak, tying their season high. For that they can thank outfielder Bill Howerton. Howerton, acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline, ingratiated himself with Bucs fans with two key RBI in Saturdays 14-6 win. Sunday he topped himself, clouting a goahead, two-run pinch homer in an 8-7 win in the first game, and driving in three runs in a 4-2 triumph in the second. Including his time with the Cards, Howerton has 18 RBI, 13 against New York pitching which has allowed 67 runs the past nine games. Reliever Vern Law (6-2) won the first game, his second win in less than 24 hours. Mel Queen (3-5) won the nightcap, allowing two runs in 8 2/3 innings. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Reds third baseman Grady Hatton belted a three-run homer in a 7-3 win in the first game, and Braves reliever Dave Cole stroked a tiebreaking bases-loaded triple in a 6-4 triumph in the nightcap as host Cincinnati and Boston split. Hattons homer came in a four-run first inning rally that made life easy for starter Harry Perkowski (2-1), who allowed three runs in seven innings. Bostons Johnny Sain (6-3) was chased after two innings, giving up six runs. Coles triple broke a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning of the second game. He allowed one run in three innings, improving his record to 3-1. Harry Brecheen (6-2) scattered seven hits in his third complete game as the Cardinals topped the visiting Phillies, 4-1. Philly starter Robin Roberts (4-4) lost for the third time in four decisions. Richie Ashburn extended his hit streak to 15 games. Frankie Baumholtz had a tie-breaking single in a five-run eighth-inning rally as the Cubs beat the visiting Dodgers, 6-3. Brooklyns Gil Hodges knocked in two runs, giving him 29 RBI for the month.

Fathers Day No-Hitter For New Dad Bamberger

TORONTO (UP) Pitcher George Bamberger of Ottawa, who became a father Saturday night, celebrated his first Fathers Day in a big way Sunday with a no-hit, no-run game to beat Toronto, 1-0 in an International League contest. He also walked after the bases had been loaded with three hits in the second inning to force in the games only run. Mrs. Bamberger gave birth to a daughter Saturday at Great Kill, Staten Island, N.Y. Bamberger, a 25-year-old righthander, had a brief trial with the Giants this year before being sent to Triple A. When Andy Pafko was traded from the floundering Chicago Cubs to the Brooklyn Dodgers, he said: Gee, thats like someone giving you $5,000. Pafko was referring to a potential slice of World Series money. Said Gene Hermanski, who was sent to the Cubs, Thats my $5,000 theyre giving him. Roy Sievers, veteran St. Louis Browns outfielder, was sent to the San Antonio club of the Texas League on Sunday on a 24 hour recall. Sievers, who was hitting .242, won the most valuable rookie award two years ago.

Reds Stars Come Out For Encore Exhibition

CINCINNATI (AP) Bucky Walters Paul Derringer Ernie Lombardi Eppa Rixey Heini Groh. Those names sound familiar? They should. They belong to some of the greatest baseball players who ever put on a glove or hefted a bat. And these same players all former Cincinnati heroes will be back at their old stands tonight. They will play a three inning, all-time, allstar Cincinnati exhibition at Crosley Field. Fans did the picking of the best ever Redleg team. The old-timers will be playing other Cincinnati greats who finished high up in the poll. The game will precede a regular contest between Cincinnati and Brooklyn. Deacon Bill McKechnie, former Redleg pilot who now is out of baseball, will handle the all-stars. Dodger manager Chuck Dressen will skipper the other team. Cincinnatis famed one-two pitching punch of Derringer and Walters will strangely enough find itself on opposite sides this time. This deadly duo piled up 52 wins in 1939 to set delirious Cincinnatians on their ears and hand the Reds a National League pennant. They were the big guns on the 1940 pennantwinning team, too.

REUNION
FROM PAGE 1

Walters, voted top all-time righthanded pitcher, now is a Boston Braves coach. Derringer operates a local caf. Eppa Rixey probably will start if Walters doesnt. He won 25 and lost 13 pitching for Cincinnati in 1922, and followed that with a 2015 season in 1923. Also picked were Eddie Roush, who batted .352 in 1921, and will play outfield, and

Groh, the third baseman who used the bottleneck bat. He had his best hitting year in 1921, his last year for the Reds, with a .331 average. Chick Hafey and Ival Goodman are ready to play outfield with Roush. The rest of the standout crew are: Frank McCormick, 37, first base; Hughie Critz, 50, second base; Eddie Miller, one of the younger players, shortstop; and Ernie Lombardi, 42, catcher.
