I1GHT IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1955. Chisox Enter Crucial Week, Orioles Top Tigers 6-0, 4-3 Bosox, Indians, Topics Ponders Gromek's Future Tigers Play Sox By JOE MOOSHU CHICAGO UP) The Boston Red Sox invade Chicago tonight to open another trying week for the second-place Chicago White Sox in the unpredictable American a pennant race. Shortly after sundown next Monday, the White Sox will have played eight games against three oi the tougher rivals in the league, barring weather postponements. After a two-game series with Boston, Chicago moves to Cleveland for four games, capped by a Sunday double-header, and then to Detroit for a Labor Day twin bill against the Tigers.

The ambitious Red Sox, only games behind the front-running New York Yankees, are Chicago Manager Marty Marion's No. 1 wcrry. "I don't care about next Sunday, Monday or the day after tomorrow," said Marion. "The next game is what counts and it's against Boston. They've been tough end can get tougher." Boston has won 8 and lost 10 Chicago this season, picking up four of its victories in the last seven games between the two teams.

The last time the Red Sox hit Chicago, Manager Pinky Higgins said, "We'll be in the race right down to the end." So far he has made good, but of the four contenders Bcston seeais to have the toughest windup schedule. The Red Sox face the top three teams in 11 of their last 17 games and 7 of these games are against the Yankees, 4 in the last three days of the season. By ED WH.KS The second-place Chicago White Sox, scumbling along like the rest of the American League contenders', take their first dose of a kill 'em or cure 'em remedy tonight. Manager Marty Marion's guys aren't exactly sickly, not when they're just a half game behind first-place New York. But they aren't really robust, either, after losing five of their last eight-and with four of the defeats at the hands of seventh-place Washington and last-place Baltimore.

If Sox turn hot, they could be sitting pretty as they make their final swing through the East next week. If they drop the two series, it might be all over. Baltimore slapped fifth place Detroit games back Monday by sweeping a double-header 6-0 and 4-3. That was the 6nly action In the league. In the National, Brooklyn made It three straight by whipping St.

Louis 10-4 to go 12 games out frontr-again; Chicago's Cubs spilled the'New York Giants to a fifth straight defeat 6-3, and Cincinnati homered past Philadelphia and Robin Roberts 4-3. Milwaukee and Pittsburgh were idle. A beanball battle flared early at Ebbets Field, but Plate Umpire Jocko Corilan put his foot down In the fourth inning, warning both managers after Stan was bit on the right hand by a Johnny Tiger Topics DETROIT Wl Harvey Kuenn went O-for-8 in Monday's doubleheader and his batting average skidded to .304. "I can't explain it," the Tiger shortstop said. Extra batting practice doesn't do me any good because I always hit good in practice.

"I guess I'll just have to keep swinging." Despite his slump, Kuenn remains in good spirits. This is a far cry, indeed, from his rookie season, when any sort of slump even one hitiess day-- would plunge him into a stony silence. If Paul Richards ever loses his dual job of Manager and General Manager of the Baltimore Orioles, he could easily catch on as a circus juggler, The nimble minded Richards keeps changing his players so often that they don't know what position they're to play. For example, in die second game, Richards worked this strategy: Fred Marsh moved from second to third, Jim Dyck went from third to left fteid, Dave Philley from left to right, Dave Pope from right to centerfielder, Don Leppert replaced Marsh at second base and Bill Wight took over the pitching. The players moved chess pawns.

Manager Bucky Harris is seriously pondering this question today in the wake of Detroit's double defeat Monday to the lowly, last-place Baltimore Orioles. For the record, the scores were 6-0 and 4-3. But of equal concern to Harris was Gromek's performance, or lack of it.

The veteran righthander (he's 34) lasted only two innings in the opener. He was roughed up for five hits and four runs, suffering his 10th loss against 11 wins. It marked the llth straight time Gromek failed to finish His last complete game was exactly two months ago today, June 30. Asked point-blank if would continue to start, Harris demurred by saying, "Well, we'll be bringing up a lot of youngsters next month." Between the lines, this would indicate that Harris has other plans for the veteran member of his pitching staff meaning bullpen work' Harris is in dire need of a strong relief pitcher, and it's just possible that Gromek, with his years of experience, may be just the man tor the job. Relief pitchers seem to prosper in their mid-thirties.

And Gromek, who must realize that it becomes harder and harder to pitch nine full innings in advancing years, may welcome such a shift. It could prolong his career as much as three or four years. Maybe more. At any rate, the Tigers could have used some effective relief pitching in Monday's second game. They were beaten in the seventh inning when Babe Birrer, replacing Ned Carver, was touched for a two-run single by the light-hitting Fred Marsh.

The Orioles, trailing 3-2, filled Podres pitch and Cardinal right- hinder Tom Poholsky had hummed one behind Jackie Robinson. Ken Boyer homered to bring the Cards within 5-4 of the Brooks in the seventh, but Duke Snider and Carl Funllo homered for the Dodgers in their half of the frame. The Phillies, who had won 9 of JO, couldn't hold a 30 lead as the Redlegs tagged Roberts (21-10) for four home runs. Wally Post hit a pair, with his 34th wrapping it up in the ninth. The Cubs smacked four home runs, two by Harry Chiti, while belting four Giant hurlers for 14 hits.

Jim Hearn was the loser (14-13) while Warren Hacker won his llth behind a seven-hitter. 1,500 Golfers lotnter Meet By The Associated Press AMERICAN LEAGUE Batting (based on 325 at bats) Kaline, Detroit, Power, Kansas City, 316.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb first appeared in a major league box score with tils Detroit Tigers. To mark this historic occasion, H. G. Salsinger, veteran sports editor of the Detroit News, has written a special column on Cobb. Salsmger covered Cobb's career practically in its entirety, and is considered the nation's foremost historian on him.

Salsinger has made his column available to the Associated Press.) By H. G. SALSINGEK Sports Editor The Detroit News DETROIT UK --Memorandum: Fifty years ago today the name Cobb appeared in a box score for the first time. It appeared in 3,032 more box scores before it vanished 24 years later. Brilliant and unorthodox, a fiery genius and the game's outstanding individualist, Coob made baseball history for more than two decades.

He dominated the game. He gained pre-eminence not because he was the fastest base runner, nor the best base stealer, nor the fleetest fielder, nor the leading hitter but because he had the nimblest brain that baseball has known. He had the ability to perceive a situation and take advantage of it before his opponents became aware of it. He was a keener student of the game than his contemporaries and understood the game better than they did. More than that, he understood them better than they understood themselves.

He knew their mechanical faults and weaknesses but he also knew their strength. He was baseball's greatest player because he out-thought them, kept a play ahead of them. He was not the greatest fielder, since there were several better. He was not the greatest place hitter since Wee Willie Keeler was adrmtedly better. He was not the greatest slugger since a dozen or more players coidd hit the ball farther.

He "was not the fastest man in the game since just ai fast faster. His wide edge over the field was mental. He thought quicker than any rival and he put his mechanical skill to better use than they did. Many of his hits were attributed to superior speed but the explanation does not cause fielders to overhutry the way Cobb did. They did not upset infields the Cobb did.

In running bases, Cobb's lightning brain worked faster than his legs Branch Rickey, who managed the St. Louis Browns when Cobb was at the peak of his career, commented one day: "He has brains in his feet" He continually crossed up infielders. He would break unexpectedly and fail to break when they expected him to run. Every move he made was carefully planned. Going into a baso he knew what the infielder would do.

He developed different slides including the hook, the fallaway and fadeaway. He was not a natural hitter when he entered organized baseball and he could not get a loud foul off a lefthander. By the tame he became established as the league's top player he could hit lefthanders ATHERTON, Calif. Ml-- The gray- laired man reflected for a minute, then said: "There are too many diversions modern clay baseball. When you jet my age, you naturally look and think the old timers were the best." The speaker was the greatest oldtimer (or anytimer) of them all --Tyrus Raymond Cobb-- the fabu- ous Georgia Peach, who exactly 50 years ago today played in his first tiajor league game with the Detroit Tigers.

Now 68 years old and considerably mellowed from his fiery, competitive days which carried him to he heights of the baseball world, Cobb is well off financially. He divides his time between his homes in Atherton and Glenbrook, Nev. Cobb plans no special celebration mark this notable date, except to reflect, momentarily, on the good old days in the early 1900's. "Today's Amencan League pen- several others were and a lew probably nant race is about the hottest iimg we've ever had," he conceded, but quickly added 4 "We had a pretty tight one in 1908, too. AH four Western Division were in it.

St. Louis and Cleveland were eliminated a couple of days before the end of the season and we were winding up against Chicago. The way it was, they couldn iose a game or they'd be out. So they saved their good pitchers for us. Ed Walsh beat us the first day and Doc White the second Then, on the last day, we won the pennant when Wild Bill Donovan threw two-hitter for us." Cobb, a long-time critic of pres- sent day baseball, still favors the old days.

"There wasn't hardly anything to do in those days except talk baseball. We talked all the time, figuring out ways to score runs and beat the other teams. We'd stand around in front of the hotels at night after games, figuring out what we did wrong and how to do better the next day. We made up plays-- the hit and run and so on- planning things to disorganize the other guys." Cobb paused, then continued' "It was pretty good back then. We didn't make much salary, but the dollar was pretty good.

No taxes, you know." Ironwood Grid Season Opens On Friday Night The Ironwood Red Devils kick off against the Iron Mountain Mountaineers Friday night for the first time in 13 years when the two high school elevens clash at Longyear Game time is 8 30 m. Friday night's game will be a test for both schools with the Mountaineers listing only two seniors the veterans of two years on the gridiron. However they have 17 seniors and 10 juniors on the squad, outnumbering the Red Devils considerably in numerical strength. Ironwood Coach John Ostrom's gridders have only 13 seniors and 12 juniors in uniform. The coaches battle will be a battle of the sophomores with both Red Devil coach John Ostrom and Iron Mountain coach Madeo Molinari starting their second season at their respective schools.

The Red Devils will be playing without 13 of last year's lettermen, but Coach Ostrom is looking for good among his small squad. In records of 10 games played between Iron Mountain and Ironwood between 1930 and 1942, Ironwood won six and lost three while one ended in a tie. Their rivalry goes back many years before 1930 but local athletic records ars available only for the past 25 years Scores for the Ironwood-Iron Mountain series from 1930 to 1942 are as follows: By JOE MOOSHIL CHICAGO Of! Swaps and Nashua are the stars of Wednesday's $100,000 match race at Washington Park but they have a terrific supporting cast iif two of the nation's top jockeys.

There is little that ruffles Shoemaker.

However, Shoemaker admits his biggest thrill came in this year's Kentucky Derby when he rode Cincinnati American Legion '9' Has Won 37 ST PAUL UPV--Cincinnati goes into today's opening of the "Little World Series" of American Legion Junior baseball with more wins than other team.

MASS, MICHIGAN Redskins, Colts In Game Tonight BALTIMORE --Two of the nation's top collegiate quarterbacks last season will meet here tonight in the infancy of their professional football careers. Ralph Guglielmi, formerly of Notre will do most of the passing and signal-calling for the Washington Redskins while George Shaw, from Oregon, will do 50 per, cent of the quarterbackmg for the Baltimore Colts when the traditional rivals meet in a. National Football League exhibition. Guglielmi, who was outstanding in the College All-Star's 30-27 upset of the Cleveland Browns Aug. 12 will start for the 'Skins.

Jack Scarbath, former Maiyland great who came to the Colts this season from the Redskins where he never lived up to expected greatness, will start for Baltimore but will alternate with Shaw. better than righthanders. Cobb scored from first on singles, streaked from first to third, or scored from second on sacrifice bunts and infield outs. The delayed steal was one of his favorites. He would turn first base an outfield single, come to a stop, and when the outfielder pulled back tas arm to lob the ball to the infield, Cobb was off.

He was so far ahead of the field that comparisons seem odious. When he retired in 1928, after 24 years of big league competition, he left behind enough records to convince the most skeptical of Jus rightful place at the head of the all-time ranking. Cobb was probably the greatest competitor any sport has known, the fiercest. He was at his best when the pressure was on. He was one of the poorest losers in spent and his bitter dread of defeat made him a spectacular winner.

He could endure anything but failure. He is baseball's lonely figure sitting on the Olympian heights. SORRY!

Joe Becker, pitching coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is nicknamed "Tiger." But he can't recall when and how the name originated Swaps to victory over Nashua. He said: "When we got into the stretch and Eddie Arcaro came alongside on Nashua, that was it I knew I had a lot of horse left. I didn't know how much he (Arcaro) had left. We soon found out." Meshach Tenney, Swaps' trainer, describes Shoemaker as "an intelligent, self-possessed, reserved type of man. He's the same way on the track.

Willie just rides his own race, and that's what makes him a great jockey. He always has some horse left at the finish." Arcaro has ridden more than 3,500 winners and was the first American jockey to boot home 3,000. He led the nation's jockeys in earnings five times 1940, 1942, 1948, 1950 and 1952. In 195! his $1,849,591 set a record which was topped only by Shoemaker whose mounts won 51,876,760 Ias1 year. One of Arcaro's top achievements has been riding a recorc five winners in the Kentucky Derby.

He scored on Lawrin in 1938, Whirlaway, 1941; Hoop 1945, Citation, 1948 and Hill Gail. 1952. With Whirlaway and Citation, Arcaro won triple crowns, adding the Belmont and Preakness to the Derby triumphs. Arcaro also rode Citation to victory in the American. Derby at Washington Park in 1948 and repeated with Hill Prince in 1950, Mark-Ye-Well in 1952 and Native Dancer in 1953.

Arcaro has ridden in the only other 5100,000 match race in his tory. He was aboard Assault Sept. 27, 1947, at Belmont when Armed, with Doug Dodson up, won by eight lengths in 2:02 4-5. Arcaro's string of stakes victories is longer than a country mile but he is never one to alibi when he loses a big race. After bis loss to Swaps in the Kentucky Derby, Arcaro "The only excuse is Swaps.
