8 THE DAILY TIMES Monday, April 28, 1938 Rally To ink DavSox, 9 Si- Mincher Blasts Sam Bailie Stars In NW Gymnastics More than 150 persons attend by JERRY JURGENS Sports Editor Defense Provides Thrills The DavSox, in their Three-I baptism for 1958 Sunday, closely paralleled the recent doings of the parent White Sox a good defense, which at times was bril-' liant, spotty pitching in the late innings, and lack of consistent i punch. The defense, even though guilty of two errors, was by far the most pleasing as the Sox dropped a 9-2 verdict to the Fox Cities Foxes. Don Bacon, Chuck Lehman and Bill Stenger came up with some dandy plays to help Lefty Joe Hoerner maintain a shutout be- fore the seven run collapse in 5 the seventh inning. Bacon went far behind second to throw Tex Taylor out at first in the opening inning. Stenger DavSox first baseman Don Mincher, left, is shown above crossing home plate after blasting a home run over the righi field fence in the DavSox opener Stadium.

Lehman cut off a run in same inning after the Foxes' pitcher, Ted Sadowski. doubled with two out. The swift-moving uavsox secona sacker made a fine running catch of Tom Pala- mar's bid for a Texas League single. The dazzler of them all was Lehman's play in the sixth when the bases were loaded with two out. He scooted behind second for Navaro Davis' tricky bouncer.

Realizing he had no chance for a force play at second, Leh man whipped the ball toward first when far off balance. It didn't quite reach the bag on the fly, but Don Mincher made a dandy pickup on the first hop to retire Davis. Mincher correct batting weaknesses, man' aged more than one hit. He slap' ped a long double to chase home the first DavSox in the second. Chuck punched a single in the seventh.

Hoerner was trying to go the nine inning route for the first time. He had worked as many as seven frames in spring training. That he was heading for trouble was evident in the sixth inning when the Foxes, limited to three hits to that point, loaded the bases only to be foiled by Lehman's great play. Joe showed signs of tiring in the seventh but before Ma.iager Ira Hutchinson derricked him, the Foxes had tied the score and runners still perched on second and third. Bryant Wasdell proved to be a faulty fireman in Three-I debut' and before he could get the side out, five more runs scampered home, three on a bases-loaded triple by Addie Hintze.

spectators. He plans to return in a couple of weeks by which time Manager Hutchinson will know what his club needs to be a contender in the Three -1 race. Each of the five mayors in the area, headed by Davenport's Don Petruccelli, got a chance to warm up their pitching arms by throw ing out a first ball. Catcher Lindstrom had trouble picking up their errant pegs, even with a mitt that was three times normal size. Petruccelli presented Manager Hutchinson a big gold horseshoe prior to the start of the game.

Although two Foxes were hit by pitched balls, the pain was much less than that suffered by the DavSox Lindstrom who was struck on the toe by a foul ball off Tom Palamar's bat in the seventh inning. The injury, however, wasn't believed to be serious. Edgar Leads Trap Shoot ELDRIDGE R. W. Edgar.

Davenport, won the doubles and 160 total and tied for first place with A. E. Sheffield, Dixon Jn the 16 yard event in a registered trap shoot at the Eldridge Sports Club, Sunday. Edgar' had a J27 score in the 160 events, 46 in the doubles and 49 of 50 in the 16 yard event. Orris Peterson, Rock Falls, hit 45 of 50 from 20 yards to win the handicap event and Don Pierce, Monmouth, won the 10 singles with 90.

Meyers Wins Stock Car Thrill Race Pushing his accelerator to the floor board all the way, "Tuffy" Meyers of Big Rock maintained his lead in the Speed Demons Stock Car Racing competition by winning the feature event at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds Sunday afternoon. It was not a walk-away. Meyers was pushed all the way by a strong held. Ronnie Weedon of Davenport came in second followed by Virgil Philebar, also of Davenport. The thrill of the race was an upset on the ninth lap which sent Dale Ahrens 'to Mercy Hospital.

He was not seriously hurt, however. Ahrens car flipped five-and-one-half times on the east curve. He won his way to the feature by placing second in the third heat. Bill Williams won the semi-main in a neck-and-neck thriller with Philebar. Judges had a difficult time declaring the victor because of the closeness of the two cars as they flashed over the finish line.

Bobby Gorman also had a good afternoon, winning the consolation and placing second in the second heat. Weedon was second in the consolation and also won the third heat race. George Fieldy of Moline won the second heat race and Marvin Schmidt of Davenport took the! first heat. in 'the Three I this season to Infield Pleases 'Hutch' Homer By JERRY JURGENS For six innings Sunday 1,713 baseball fans didn't mind the chilly mid-40 degree temperature at Muny Stadium one bit. Joe Hoerner, DavSox southpaw, was cooling off the Fox Cities Foxes, holding a 2-0 lead and yielding only five hits.

But as the weather warmed, so did the Foxes who tore into Hoerner and his eventual successor, Bryant Wasdell. They stormed seven runs across the plate in the lucky seventh and added two rfiore in the eighth for a 9-2 decision that ruined the DavSox Three-I opener. PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT The DavSox will try again tonight to enter the victory column with the same pesky Foxes as the foe. Game time is an hour earlier, at 6:30 p.m., than usual, something new that's being tried for both Monday and Saturday games this season. Manager Ira Hutchinson, a bit disturbed by the collapse of his pitching in the late innings, although the working margin' was not great, isn't exactly certain of his mound choice tonight.

He named any of three Stover Mcllwain, Allen Brice and William Roush as the probable DavSox starter. Manager Pete Suder of the Foxes, surprised at the batting punch his club displayed Sunday, nam ed Rene Nordarse, a righthand er, as his pitcher. GOOD SUPPORT The DavSox gave Hoerner some sparkling support that enabled him to work out of jams before the roof daved in the seventh. Their 2-0 margin came as a re sult of a pair of long hits Chuck Lindstrom's double with a mate aboard in the second and Don Mincher's home run, a mighty 400-foot clout over the rightfield fence, in the fourth. The Sox managed only five other hits and never got more than one in any inning off Ted Sadowski, a no-windup righthander who is back this season after nursing a sore arm most of last year.

Only Lindstrom nicked him for more than one hit. Two of the DavSox hits were of a spurious nature a sun-lost two bagger by Chuck Lehman and an infield single by Bill Stenger which the shortstop handled too slowly as he failed to realize Stenger's speed. The Foxes gave Sadowski er rorless support, and he stayed out of trouble with almost perfect control, walking only one man. BIG SEVENTH Ten men batted in the Foxes' big seventh. Four hit safely, two drew walks, another was hit by a pitch, and still another squeezed a run home with a bunt.

Hoerner had escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth on a brilliant play by Lehman and an equally brilliant pickup by Mincher. The Foxes' big inning started off as if Hoerner was destined for a shutout. He fanned Catcher Bob Payne. Sadowski, who wasted a double in the fifth, then singled sharply to center. Tom Palamar worked the DavSox lefty for a pass.

Tex Taylor's single produced the first run.
