Pal Joey Breaks Away But Not For Long Spears Sparks Yale With Malice Toward None BY BILL LEE Sports Editor rp 25-0 Victory Over Gridmen i NEW YORK, Sept. 23. The Yankees of today are not one, two, three with the Yanks of Ruth and Gehrig, or the Bombers ef Rolfe and Gordon and Ruffing, but they played this afternoon as thougn they had something to live up to. The result was that they beat the stuffing out of the Boston Red Sox and left them for dead on the puny end of an 8 to 0 score.

When Boston's fearsome team of homeside sluggers left the inspiring surroundings of "Fenway Park, they boasted a tremendous team batting average of .307. After Ed Lopat got through taming them this afternoon, the once ferocious Red Sockers had paled down to a team mark of less than .240. Steve O'Neill's bunch looked as sad as Way Down East at their moment to step front stage and put themselves into a leading role of pennant contenders. They were in a ball game for just one time at bat. Dom Dimag-gio, their leadoff man, opened the game with a savagely struck triple over Brother Joe's head in deepest center field.

If ever a team got off to a smacking start, this was it. That, however, was the last loud hit the supposedly powerful Red Sox struck off the pitching of steady Edward Lopat, a New York boy who behaved as a city slicker should. Not only did the Red Sox fall over in a dead faint and fail to get DiMaggio home, but they remained in an inert position the rest of the way. Their five hits, DiMaggio's triple and four anemic singles, were spread over the game in such a way that no two came in the same inning. They made one in each of the first, third, fifth, sixth and ninth frames.

That was the full extent of power and challenge this unhappy Boston team was able to produce. Indians Trim Tigers Again By 10-2 Score Grand Slam Home Run By Larry Doby Stakes Garcia to Neat Lead Cleveland, Sept. 23. VP) Cleveland tumbled the Tigers deeper into second place today as Mexican Mike Garcia fashioned a five-hitter to pitch the avenging Indians to their second itraight victory over Detroit, 10-2. Larry Doby and Luke Easter, Cleveland's two Negro sluggers, battered across seven runs between them to spearhead a 10-hit attack against five fruitless flingers.

Doby broke the back of the Tigers as early as the third inning when he unloaded a terrific home run with the bases clogged to enable the Indians to overcome a 1-0 deficit. Easter higthlighted a five-run seventh inning with a base-clearing two-bagger that sewed up the game. End Series Today The disastrous defeat, coupled with New York's triumph over Boston's Red Sox. widened the Yanks' first place margin over the Tigers to a game and a half. The Tigers, who meet the Indians in the last of the three game series here tomorrow, have only eight games left to play against the Yankees' nine.

Unlike the many recent games they've lost by one run, the Tigers never had a chance today once Doby hit that grand slammer in the third, his second of the season. Encouraged by the blow, Garcia retired the next 12 Tigers in a row after giving up a tainted tally in the top of the third. It was not until the ninth, when the game was hopelessly lost, that Detroit got its second run. That came when Gerry Priddy cracked his 12th homer of the year. Joey Bettencourt (12), Connecticut's best running back against Yale yesterday, wriggled clear a couple of times for thrilling, if short, dashes.

The Uconn scatback Is shown sprinting 24 yards to the Eli 30 on this play, the last one in the third pe riod. Yale defenders moving over for the kill are Louis Polk (27) and Kay Bright (85). Yale defeated the Huskies 25-0 (Courant Photo). The Yankees started boom in and then a home run by the Yankee half of the DiMaggio family, From tnat time forward, the Yankees owned the Red Sox. Boston was never in contention, never appeared to have a chance to pull the game out.

This is a far cry from the old ball club, but it appears plenty good enough to represent the Ameri can League in the World Series, old Yankee custom.

THE LITTLE GUY GOT THE BIGGEST HIT OF THE DAY That brought up Johnny Mize with the bases loaded and two out. Did large John crush the Red Sox with a mighty blow into the right field bailiwick? By no means, Chester. He merely slapped a Connecticut Rickey Ready ToUnloadHis Dodger Stock Sale to Zeckendorf Awaits Releases by His Two Partners New York, Sept. 23. UP Branch Rickey, bushy-browed baseball genius, is selling his one fourth interest in the Brooklyn Dodgers.

The 68-years-old Rickey, father of baseball's farm systems, has agreed to sell his stock to Wil liam Zeckendorf, president of Webb and Knapp, a huge New York real estate firm. Zeckendorf, a power in real estate circles, said the deal first was proposed to him by John Gal-breath, a Columbus, Ohio, real es' tate operator who owns the Pitts burgh Pirates. "This is purely an said Zeckendorf. Before Rickey can complete the major transaction, believed to in volve more than $1,000,000, two of his partners have the right of "first and final refusal" to buy the stock on the same terms. Agreed to Arrangement Rickey, Walter O'Malley and the late John L.

Smith agreed some time ago to this arrange ment. Since the agreement. Smith died and his 25 per cent now is held by Mrs. Smith, Mai ley also owns 25 per cent. The re maining 25 per cent is owned by Mrs.

James Mulvey, daughter of the late Steve McKeever. She has refused repeatedly to sell to any body. Apparently the deal was "quickie" engineered during the last four or five days. Zeckendorf and Rickey conferred Wednesday and Thursday and reached a "substantial agreement." The contract was signed last night in a meeting between Rickey and Arthur Phalen, secretary-treasurer of the real estate firm. Appearance of Galbreath's name in the deal set fire to speculation that Rickey, president and gener al manager of the Dodgers, was headed for Pittsburgh.

Rickey de med this. "I have no immediate plans," he said, but I definitely am not go ing to Pittsburgh." Long Friends mckey ana uaibreath were friends long before Galbreath moved into baseball, firt as a minority stockholder and more recently as owner of the Pirates There have been indications that all has not been smooth sailing for Rickey at Brooklyn in the last two years. On Rickey's advice the club dropped several thousand dollars backing a pro football team. Rickey still is "stuck" with a private contract for one of the players. With the sprawling farm system gnawing away at profits, Rickey disposed of a flock of young talent last fall.

Attendance has been off approximately 200,000 this year. Fans have been critical of the Dodgers' failures after winning the 1949 pennant. Manager Burt Shotton, Rickey's personal choice, has been under heavy fire. Still the pews that Rickey is selling out came as a startling surprise. During his eight years at Brooklyn, the Dodgers generally prosperred.

It was Rickey who defied the sport's "unwritten law" and brought Jackie Robinson, the first modern day Negro player, into organized ball in 1945. Following Rickey's lead, many other major league clubs signed Negro players. Varied Background As farmer, lawyer, scholar, sound businessman, baseball player, manager and general manager, Rickey has a varied background. In recent years his health has been poor but he has piled on more work and chewed just as many huge cigars. Rickey came to Brooklvn from St.

Louis shortly after the 1942 coaenn He has been most suc cessful with the Cardinals as vice-president and general manager. Through his guidance, the Cards developed a farm system that once outranked all others. Zeckendorf is a 45-years-old millionaire who started out by collecting rents for an uncle. He assembled the parcel along the East River that John D. Rockefel ler, bought as the new site for the United Nations.

He also is president of the board of trustees at Long Island University, located in Brooklyn. O'Malley, Dodger vice-president, had little to say about the deal which will be discussed Tuesday morning at the regular annual session of the Brooklyn stock- U.I Connecticut Regains gri-State Golf Title New Haven, Sept. 23.

Chuck BT B1IX NEWELL New Haven, Sept. 23. Yale thwarted hopeful Connecticut's bid for a record-breaking performance in the 1950 Bowl inaugural today, striking pay dirt in each of four periods for a 25-0 victory before an estimated 24,000 spec tators. Led by Ed Senay. 175-pound junior halfback from Holyoke, who twice turned on the speed for long scoring gallops.

Coach Herman Hickman's Elis won handily to preserve their record of never having been beaten by another state elevtn in 63 ball games dating back to 1875. Making its first start under new Coach Art Valpey, who directed Harvard last fall, Connecticut battled the Elis hard all the way and had several scoring opportunities, all of which were dissipated by Yale staunch line play. Offensively, Senay, Stu Tisdale. Bob Spears and Jerry Conway were too many and too much for the Huskies, who had only Sopho more Joe Bettencourt to counter with, although Ray Good con tributed some steady if unspectacular play. Eli Line Tough The big difference between the two elevens was in the line, where Yale outcharged and effectively snowed under Connecticut single wing attack through much of the contest.

It was not a thrilling contest. Connecticut did not quite live up to what, had been expected of it and on the other hand the Elis performed better than even Hickman had anticipated. Senay provided the game's high spots with his two sparkling runs. The first actually broke up the ball game, although Connecticut gave the Blue forces many an anxious moment right through, the first half. Conway contributed a 25-yard runback of Bettencourt's opening kickoff to launch Yale's initial offensive.

After Senay drove 12 yards for a first down on his own 37, Conway lost two on a bad handoff. Then Senay swept right end and cut back, bursting into the clear without being touched and running 65 yards for the game's first score, exactly two minutes and 43 seconds after play had begun. Senay had plenty of protection all the way and when he crossed the double stripe there were at least five Bulldogs between him and the nearest Connecticut player. John Bush missed the kick for the point. Ucons March Connecticut took George Hill's kickoff and promptly unleashed its first and longest drive of the day.

Mixing two pretty pass plays with straight power, Valpey's array marched from its own 11 to the Yale 15 before the surge petered out. Bettencourt didn't run once on this series but did get off a fine 24-yard aerial to Bill Cass, the left end. After Dom Rosa had smacked four yards to the Blue 15. Yale's line stiffened and finally took the ball away on the 18. The Huskies took advantage of Senay's poor punt to storm right back again, this time reaching the Yale 17 on straight power before the Elis once again held for downs three plays into the second period.

An 18-yard kick by Matt Bano-vetz gave Yale the initiative midway through the quarter. Starting at midfield, Tisdale pitched twice to Captain Quaekenbush, sneaked once for 11 yards and lateralled to Senay for eight and the Blue had a first down on Connecticut's 12.

So you see, this Yankee team no Ruths or Gehrigs or Gordons, as sprightly as the Joe D. of ten the and New York, Sept. 23. UP) The Yankees dealt a crushing blow to Boston's pennant hopes today as they blasted the Red Sox, 8 to 0, before 63,998 wildly approving fans in the stadium. Victory behind Lefty Ed Lopat's slick five-hit pitching in the opener of the two-game series jumped the champions' lead-in the American League race to a game and a half over the losing Detroit Tigers and three games over the Sox with only eight days to go.

Lopat was masterful as he mowed down the Hose, limiting them to four well spaced singles after Dom DiMaggio, the first batter to face him, whanged a towering triple to left center and died at third. The victory was the 18th for the chubby southpaw against eight losses, as well as the 100th triumph of his big league career. Indians Started Tanic The jolting defeat was the third in a row inflicted upon the fading Boston team, which only four days ago was in the thick of the throbbing pennant chase. Cleveland walloped Steve O'Neill's club twice on Wednesday to start the panic. Four Sox pitchers yielded nine hits today, and, as it turned out, the contest was all over after Joe DiMaggio hoisted his 32nd home run of the campaign into the right field stands in the first inning vvijth two out and Yogi Berra on base.

By the time Mel Parnell, Boston's ace southpaw, departed the scene after three innings the Bombers were out front 5-0, three more Yankee scores having chased across in the third on Johnny Mize's two run single and a double by Hank Bauer down the right line. Two Bosox Escape Injury Thev champs put the game out of reach for good in the sixth when Jerry Coleman cleaned the bases with a long triple over Ted Williams' head in left field. The last two Boston flingers, Maurice McDermott and Harry Taylor, escaped without injury. Four or five Red Sox regulars were reported to be suffering with intestinal influenza, and they did, in fact, look none too robust a a i ns Lopat's assortment of curves. Al Zarilla, the club's regular rightfielder, was replaced by Clyde Vollmer after four innings when Zarilla was found to be running a high fever.

The Yanks, on the other hand, acted from start to finish as though they already were playing in the World Series. They looked like Joe DiMaggio made two tremendous running catches off Bobby Doerr and Joe's W. L. Pet.

In the ninth, with his club leading by eight runs, Bauer risked a broken neck as he somersaulted and came up with Williams', loo per into left.

Perfect Control Those were, however, the only hard chances the Yankees had. Lopat's soft stuff mostlv had the Sox knocking the ball into the ground or lifting short flies into his fielders' gloves. He didn't grant a base on balls and put only six Hose on base, Johnny Pesky draw ing a life in the fourth when a pitch nicked him on the hand. Chuck Stobbs, another lefty, erased the Bombers nicely in the fourth, but was victimized by a Phil Rizzuto bunt to open the fifth and followed that by hitting Berra on his throwing arm. Di Maggio's single over second filled the bases.

It looked as though Stobbs might escape when Mize whacked a liner which Dropo pulled down and then stepped on first to double DiMaggio. Bauer was purposely passed to get to Coleman, and the Yank second baseman responded with his triple that soared over Williams', glove and bounced against the left wall as the final three runs raced across. Berra was replaced behind the plate by Charlie Silvera for the remaining innings. It was announced that he had suffered no more than a severe bruise on his forearm and would be ready and able to face the Sox in the final game of the series tomorrow, jfcw lUKtt. ao Johnson 3b 3 110 Rizzuto ss 5 2 2 1 Berra 2 2 0 1 Silvera 2 0 0 3 J.

But Lopat was a dead ringer for Pennock and Gomez or any of the other artful left-handers who have worn the Yankee regimentals. He was boss man from start to finish, or at least from the moment he got rid of Johnny Pesky, second Red Sox hitter of the day. NEITHER TED NOB ANY OTHER HAD WHAT IT TAKES It was Garcia's 11th victory of the year and his second compared to no defeats against the Tigers. Iloutteman Blasted Art Houtteman, gunning for his 20th victory, started for the Tigers in an effort to even the series. The 23-years-old right-hander, however, did not have it and went down to his 12th defeat.

He retired the first six men but ran into trouble in the third. After back-to-back singles by Joe Gordon and Jim Hegan, Houtteman retired the next two batters, but walked Bob Kennedy to load the bases. After serving two more bad pitches to Doby, Art was forced to come in with a fat pitch. Doby promptly pickled it high and far- over the left center field fence, 400 feet away. It was 'Larry's 25th home run and gave him 101 runs batted in for the season.

The homer, 27th off Houtteman this season, gave him the unenviable leadership among the American League's gopher hurlers. Gray vs. Lemon Today Houtteman was batted out in the fourth when the Indians added another run. Hank Borowy, Marlin Stuart, Paul Calvert and rookie Ray Herbert followed him to themound. Only Borowy escaped unscathed.

Stuart and Calvert bore the brunt of Cleveland's seventh inning assault. Between them they yielded five bases on balls and three hits, good for five runs. Ted Gray, recently recovered from a sore arm, will try to salvage the final game for the Tigers tomorrow. He will be opposed by Bob Lemon, Cleveland's 21-game winner.

The bald truth is that there wasn't a single spark, offensive or defensive, in Boston's play after Dom DiMaggio's triple to start the game. Now the Red Sox have been Indians and Yankees on this final they could finally win the cigar the past two seasons.

They seem to have missed again, only this time more abortively than before. There are still three games to be played before they see the friendly fence at Fenway again and at the moment they are three full games behind. It scarcely seems possible that the Yanks Take It As Matter Of Course And Red Sox Are Not Too Dejected prides of the Fens can recover final six games at home. The two things that have stuck out like warts on the Red Sox record were painfully apparent today.

CP) It was a big one for the Yankees to win today and a big one for the Red Sox to lose, but there was neither unbridled joy nor hopeless dejection in the dressing rooms after the New York club's convincing 8-0 triumph. The Yankees, as befits champions, took it as just another ball game, and Manager Casey Sten-i gel sized up the situation pretty well when he said with finality: "It (the road to the pennant) looks easy, but it's a long way off.
