Some days he may get just one little dinky hit--like yesterday when the'Yankees snapped the ID-game winning streak of the astonishing 'Philadelphia Athletics, 3 0 as Vic Raschi pitched a masterful three-hitter. But the hits he get on 'such days he almost invariably takes away.from opposition. Raschie wouldn't have had a might not even have won ball game without the "big fellow" in field, him-up spectacularly. Fielding Feat His fielding feats have become almost commonplace, but that 'doesn't make them any less lustrous. Yesterday in the seventh with the first man on base via a walk, DiMaggio raced in to take a low" liner at his shoe tops, turning a fUll.

somersault as he' got the but' coming, up with it in his He robbed the batter, Fain, of certain" extra base hit and since there were none out at the time it is conceivable that the A's might have been sparked to a game-winning rally had he miss- Raschi, who pitched the best game of his career, struck out seven batters, retiring the side on whiffs in the ninth with two men abase and the A's trying desperately to pull the game out of the fire. Johnny Lindell and Larry Berra accounted for all the Yankee runs on homers, Lindell getting his with Bobby Brown abase via a Yankees now have 25 homers in 19 games. Good pitching was the order of the day elsewhere. Fred Sanford blanked the" Tigers at Detroit, 3 to 0, giving up five singles as he won his fourth game for the Browns against two defeats. Whitey Platt provided what little offensive smash.

was needed, driving in two runs with a double and a fly ball. Meyer Blanks Reds At Chicago, Russ Meyer, the new ace Cub hurling staff, pitched his third low-hit game, blanking the Reds, 1 to 0 on four Gifts Galore for the Sport Coats Sweaters Jewelry Luggage Shirts Pajamas Slacks Belts Ties Prompt Attendance your phoMcal for AMMILANCI MRV1CI MONCS17 Dodgers Cinch Western Lead By United Press The Pueblo Dodgers cinched their first lead spot, in the western league by outhitting the Denver Bears last night and taking) the game, 12 to 4.
