DOYLE The Pirates' six-game losing streak is at an end, but just before midnight last night, Maurice Van Robays had to fall on his knees and elbows to catch a short fly which, had it fallen safely well, a seventh straight setback was! just ahead for the demoralized Oaklanders. It was the ninth Inning of the Forbes Field' clash between the Phils and Bucs. Two were out, the tieing run was on third and the winning marker was whizzing toward third on a three and-two pitch to Johnny Wyrostek.

1 By HARRY KECK. Soorts Editor Hardly anything else that could have happened to the Pirate, Rip Sewell at thi stage of his career could have been more fortuitous than his experience in the All-Star game at Boston the other day. What happened to him was something akin to a new lease on his baseball life. When Ted Williams hit that home run off his blooper ball he did more for Rip than Rip did for him. It was like the Mighty Casey becoming an immortal by striking out in that epic poem.

For years to come the fans will recall Rips blooper ball clowning as the high spot of his career. Long after they forget that for two years in a row he won 21 games for the Pirates theyll be talking about the only saving feature of this game, in which the National League took its worst drubbing. The Ripper made the fans laugh and forget the onesided-ress of the contest. True, there were a few blue noses who thought he ought to be set down for turning the game into a farce, but the majority of fans and virtually all of the writers agreed that the game already was a farce and Rip merely made it official. Sewell knows he is near the end of his pitching career and has his thoughts set on remaining in baseball in some capacity.

He would like some day to be a big league manager as what aging player wouldnt? He almost went out tragically when he suffered a stroke after pitching a game at Forbes Field and had to take a months rest. Now he could exit laughing, which is a good way to bow off the stage. Not that hes ready to hang up his glove at this moment. He still may have several seasons of efficient pitching in his arm. But when the time comes to go, he will be remembered off that All-Star game, and the opportunities to carry on as a coach or manager will be greater than they were before he started throwing up that eephus pitch of his in Fenway Park.

Rip always has been a smart fellow. A college graduate, he looks and acts the part He had his gray matter working when he elected to play thh role he did at Boston, and a kind fate and Ted took care of the rest if if if Post-Mortems an Game Continue Incidentally, the post-mortems on the All-Star game this year have been more prolonged and louder than in the wake of past classics, and some good suggestions are being put forth for the future. One of them is to restore the selection of the teams to the fans. Another is to recognize the game for what it was intended to be, merely an exhibition, and give every player elected an opportunity to play at least one inning, thus removing the win-at-any-cost incentive. Bill Corum comes up with a good piece of criticism of this years game.

He thinks that, with victory and league supremacy the main idea, as it is now, the National League would have done much better if it had used its young pitchers instead of relying upon Claude Passeau and Kirby Higbe as two of its mound choices. He points out that both of these stalwarts have gone over the hill and the American League was familiar with what they had to offer. He believes that youngsters like Koslo, Schmitz and Kennedy (night have done much better. Thats second-guessing, to be sure, but youll have to admit that its high-class second-guessing. if if if Durocher Doesn't Like 'Nice Guys' Frankie Graham, the author, has done what amounts a penetrating character sketch of Leo Durocher, manager of the Dodgers, in the Hearst New York Journal-American in which he describes a scene on the bench at the Polo Grounds as the Dodgers prepared to battle the Giants in a recent night game.

Somebody asked Leo why he didnt cut out his squawking and be a nice guy for a change, and Leo barked A nice guyl A nice guy! I have been around baseball for a long time and Ive known a lot of nice guys. But I never saw a nice guy who was any. good when you needed him. Go up to one of those nice guys some time when you need a hundred to get you out of a jam and hell always give you that Sorry pal, Id like to help you, but things are not going so well at the ranch business. Ill take the guys who aint nice.

The guys who would put you in a cement mixer if they felt like it But you get in a jam and you dont have to go to Theyll come looking for you and say, How much do you need Then, pointing to the Giants bench, Leo continued: Nice guys! Look over there. Do you know a nicer guy than Mel Ott? Or any of the other Giants? Why, theyre the nicest guys in the world. And where are they? In last place!" Now maybe you know why Leo is a hard-boiled, umpirefighting, sulphur-tongued so-and-so. He thinks thats the only way to be a top guy. And his record proves that hes made it pay off.

Pickups Alans the Sports Trail If ever a prophet was without honor in his own country, Billy Fox, the Philadelphia Negro light-heavyweight, is such a man. All hes done is knock out every one of his 39 opponents as a professional, yet theyre complaining because it took him 10 rounds to stop Pittsburgh's Ossie Harris in each of their two fights. Now hes trying to land a bout with Jake LaMotta, the rings Rock of Gibraltar, to see if he cant be the first to knock out the New That shows hes not running away from anybody. The face-lifting job Fritzie Zivic has done on his Zivic Arena in Millvale has made this spot one of the finest in the land for a close-up view of the proceedings at popular prices, which, bv the way, have been reduced. Fritzie had 'the back rows elevated and blocked off, with a ramp running up to them, and he has put colored cable ropes around the ring, installed sliding seats for the boxers and erected a the canopied ring.

He is very proud of the canopy, although, as he remarked the other night, he has had some misgivings about that luxury. Maybe I should have put a roof over the fan in cate of rain, he said. 4It wouldn hurt the fighters to get wet Theyre getting paid. inning opened. Jim Tabor nicked him for a single, but Andy Semi-nick filed deep to Van Robays.

LINER SKIDS PAST KINER At this point, Kiner made one of the very few mistakes charged against him since joining the Buccos. He raced In on Pinch-hitter Vance Dinges low liner instead of playing it for a clean single. The ball eluded the slugger and went for a fluke homer, scoring two runs. When Oscar Judd singled, Roe went to the rescue. Northey batted for Newsome and singled to send ONeil to third.

Roy Hughes batted for Gilbert and lined to Elliott, whe held the runners. Then came the big moment of the night Van Robays catch. Gustines single with the baser loaded in the first Inning scored two Pirate runs. The Pirates added two more in the fourth on a walk, a sacrifice, Russella-double and Lopez single, Gilbert hit into the right field stands in the eighth to score the Phils first run. American Legion Junior players were guests of the hon management at todays game, The Legion players brought gifta for Ken Raffensberger of ths Phils and Al Gionfriddo of the Pirates, both of whom were leading Legion performers in Pennsylvania.

A special Children! Day also was being observed. PHILADELPHIA, July Jamison Jr. of the Oakmont Country Club is the lone Pittsburgh representative today as the field for the thirty-third Pennsylvania Amateur golf championship tourney started the semi-final round. Jamison -was scheduled, to meet Ed Gonsky of Apawana and in the other semi-final pairing, Howard Everett of Philadelphia was matched with George Rowbotham of Llanerch. Gonsky, a Marine for 43 passed through the quarter-finals yesterday by defeating -favored Johnny Markel of Reading, 2 up, while Jamison was ousting; Art Syxbee of 5 and 4.

Rowbotham accounted the exit of Frank Souchak, former Pitt end, 4 and 2, and Everett put ouf George Griffin Jr. of Green Valley, 4 and 3. In third round play Jamison whipped Ken Stear of Punxsu-tawney, 3 and 2, and Souchak shaded Marion Kupslck of Springhaven, 2 and 1.

BB. IP. TENNIS EDITOR, PITTSBURGH SUN-TELEGRAPH: Mens Please enter me in the Womens singles (check class) of your Pittsburgh Public Parks tennis tournament, beginning July 27: Name Associated fresa Leave It to the unpredictable Brooklyn Dodgers to upset one of major league baseballs most ancient traditions. Of the 18 National League clubs that have led the pack on July Fourth only to yield first place to another team In the past 46 years, five of them represented Brooklyn. And it appeared today that unless the skidding Dodgers right them selves pretty quick, they might make it six of the last 19.

Their two most recent collapses occurred in 1942 when the Brooks blew a 10-game Independence Day lead to the' St Louis Cardinals, and last year when they saw a three-and-a-half lead vanish as the Chicago Cubs overtook them in the second half of the season. CARDS ADVANCE The Cardinals gained a game and a half on the league leaders yesterday by sweeping both ends of a doubleheader from the New York Giants, 21 and 5-4, while the Cubs handed the Dodgers their second straight defeat, 13-2. Howie Poliet gained the distinction of ending the Giants mastery over the Redbirds at Sportsmans Park which had produced four New York victories in as many meetings. The slender New Orleans lefthander not only limited the Giants to five hits in outpltching Bill Vol-selle in the opener, but came back to save the nightcap with a brilliant relief chore in the ninth. Led by Peanuts Lowrey, who rammed home seven runners and scored three on a home run and two singles, the Cubs battered three Brooklyn hurlers for 15 hits and easily notched their fifth straight home triumph over the Dodgers, Dave (Boo) Ferriss gained his thirteenth pitching success and his eighth straight over Detroit as the Boston Red Sox defeated the.

Tigers, 4-2, to increase their American League margin over the idle New York Yankees to eight games. Rudy York, iormer Tiger, provided the winning runs for the league leaders when he slammed his eleventh home run with one man on base in the eighth. ONE-HITTER FOB SAIN Johnny Sain pitched a one-hitter as the Boston Braves eked out a 1-0 decision over the Cincinnati Reds. A double by Grady Hatton in the inning prevented the elongated righthander from registering a perfect game as Hatton was the only Redleg to reach base. With Dick Fowler bagging his sixth mound win, the Philadelphia Athletics chased Jack Kramer in the fourth In defeating the St Louis Browns, 7-2.

The fistic faithful didnt care much today about whether Sugar Ray Robinson knocked southpaw Joe Curcio out in the first or second round at Madison Square Garden last night. They were wondering more about just what walloper, short of Joe Louis himself, could handle welterweight Sugar Ray in the manner approved by the experts along Scrambled Ear Alley. The Sugar Man from Harlem took only one lump to stir up Joe, the southpaw swatter out of Jersey, for the entertainment of some 12,353 cash contributors. The gate was $51,626.

This lump of a left hook landed just as the bell rang endihg the first round of their scheduled 10-rounder. And inasmuch as Joe was flat on his back when the bell sounded to begin the second round, it didnt make much difference whether the folks figured the payoff should be for the first or second session. Only three days remain to enter the Hearst National Junior golf championship tournament, the 36-hole medal play local qualifying round for which will be staged at South Park, Monday and Tuesday, July 22 and 23.
