20 Friday, 30. 19S0 DETROIT FREE PRESS Chisox Mop on Mutchinsoiic, Topple Tigers 7 to 3 Play Dual Roles Cain Cools Bengals RECORD SPREE OF RUNS Rabbit, Run ox 22, A's 14 Red iii Finale Diamond Merry-Go-Round Boston 680 112 20 2 22 19 1 Phila. 430 Oil 32 0 14 15 3 PHILADELPHIA (JP) Boston's Red Sox outslugged the Philadelphia Athletics, 22 to 14, and the two-team total of 36 runs established an American League record. It was one of the weirdest baseball games ever played. By the time the second inning had been completed, 21 runs had scored with the Red Sox in the lead, 14 to 7.

From then on, there was a succession of hits and walks with nine pitchers giving up 34 hits and 21 bases on balls. ODDLY ENOUGH, only one home run was produced in the American League record for RBIs is 184, set in 1931 by Lou Gehrig, of the New York Yankees. It was Williams who broke the old run-making record by doubling in the ninth off Joe Coleman, fifth Philadelphia 2-hour, 50-minute marathon. That was by Ted Williams, who now has smacked 24 four-baggers. Williams drove in six runs to hike his RBI total to 80 in 62 games.

He missed seven of Boston's 69 games. The hi But Detroit Holds 4 Y2 -Game Margin BY LYALL SMITH Free Press Sports Editor Robert Cain, a lanky 25-year-old southpaw, raised a little of the same as he derailed the Tigers' victory express. The White Sox lefty hung a 7-3 defeat on the Detroiters as they missed a golden opportunity to pick up another big game on the New York Yankees, who also lost an afternoon contest. As it is, the Tigers still lead by 42 games as they head for a big week-end series with the torrid Cleveland Indians. Freddy Hutchinson absorbed his fifth defeat of the summer as he dissipated a first-inning two-rua lead, then saw the Chicagoang click off four straight singles, after two were out in the eighty inning, to break a 3-3 deadlock They added two more in the nint off Saul Rogovin.

FRED WAS tagged for 13 hits before Rogovin replaced him in the final frame as the Sox salvaged their only victory after taking three straight setbacks by the Bengals. The game was witnessed by 7,717 customers who saw Cain settle down after being hung over the ropes in the opening frame. Rogovin came in after Chico. Carrasquel had opened the ninthj with his third single. Saul was! no bargain.

He made an error" on Cain's bunt, then saw the. bases loaded on a bunt by Nel-; son Fox. Dave Philley lashed a. single through short for two more runs. A walk to Gus Zer-4 nial reloaded the bases before at double play ended it.

The Tigers started off with a rush as Jerry Priddy, George KelJ, Hoot Evers and Vic Wertz poked out sineles to score twice anti Nats Maul 3 Ex -Browns to Beat Back Yanks, 12-7 IIWWITiWIWVlff I I 3 pitcher. That swat drove in two runs. The old standard of 35 runs in a nine-inning game was set in 1901 by the Red Sox and Athletics. The Sox won that one, 23 to 12. The 35-run standard was equalled three times.

LOST SIGHT of in the mad race across home plate was the fact that victory ran the Boston winning streak to seven. Since Steve O'Neill took over as manager from Joe McCarthy, the Sox have been unbeaten. In addition to producing a single game league record for total runs, the marathon established at least one other new standard. The clubs scored at least once in 13 of the 18 half-inning's played, breaking the old American league record of 11 set in 1948 by New York and Detroit. The Red Sox tied a league record by having nine of its players score at least two runs in the game.

Only once before in American League history has this happened. That was in 1923 in a game in which Cleveland defeated Washington. EIGHTEEN PLAYERS hit safely at least once in the struggle. That was one shy of the league record of 19 set Aug. 12, 1948, when 14 Cleveland Indians hit safely and five players for the St.

Louis Browns reached base on hits. Al Papal, who replaced Charley Stobbs in the first inning, emerged the winning pitcher. Bob Hooper, the A's starter, who failed to get a man out, ended up the losing pitcher. A sparse gathering of 2,808 paid sat through the debacle which produced 54 total bases, 23 singles, nine doubles, three triples and the homer by niiiiia.i Two of the golfers competing in the Motor City Open at Red Run are probably better known for their feats off the links than on.

Attendance Four Clubs Scramble for NL Lead Dodgers Lose, But Hold VsS'Game Edge Free Press Wire Services Only two games separated the first four teams in the National League pennant race after Thursday's battles saw the three top clubs bow in defeat. Vern Bickford pitched the Boston Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies to move the Tribe into the thick of the fight, two games back of the league-leading- Brooklyn Dodgers. THE DODGERS, who hold a half-game lead over the Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals, were defeated by the New York Giants, 11 to 5, thanks to a seven-run rally in the last two-innings.

The Cardinals also lost, bowing to the Chicago Cubs, 6 to 1. Bob Rush turned in a five-hitter as the Cubs stopped St. Louis. He was aided by some solid hitting by his mates, including Hank Sauer's 14th homer. The defeat was the Cards' 12th in the last 16 games.

DAVE KOSLO started for the Giants and received credit for his eighth victory, although he had to have the help of Larry Jansen in the last two frames. Five Dodger pitchers tried to stem the Giants' 15-hit attack. Dan Bankhead, the third to work for the Bums, was charged with the defeat.

Yanks in Upset BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (U.R) The United States soccer team scored the most spectacular upset of the 1950 world championship tournament by defeating England, 1 to 0. BOSTOX WHEN THE OPEN OPENS Frank Walsh, the golf pro who dresses like a rainbow, came right out and stated that the star golfers who slash for cash will massacre par at Red Run Golf Club this week-end.

Walsh should be a prophet. The club which is host to the Motor City Open is the one at which Flamboyant Frank has been pro for more than the past decade. He claims that Messrs. Ben Hogan, Sammy Snead, Jimmy Demaret, Cary Middlecoff, Chandler Harper, et al will scoot around Red Run's 18 holes so easily that the winning 72-hole score should total no more than 270 strokes. Par for 18 is 72.

Four times 72 is 2SS. Walsh figures the accurate stars will slash 18 strokes off that 288-par figure. That means the winner, at 270, will fire a pair of 68s and a pair of 69s, or their equivalent. He is finding some dissenting votes among the pros who are assembled at the starting tee. "Make it about 275 for the winning score," said Porky Oliver.

"This course is an optical illusion. It looks like duck soup. It isn't." Bantam Ben Ilogan nodded assent. "This course will be tough for anyone who isn't accurate," he insisted. "It isn't long (6,745 yards) and it's not too woody, not many hills, no greens you can't see after your tee shot.

But if you stray, you're in trouble." What Hogan didn't say was that the innocent-looking but dangerous rough would not be the biggest handicap. Red Run is an excellent course, one of many great ones in the Detroit district. But when it was laid out, it was not designed with an eye for crowds of people to be anywhere but behind the players on the fairways. Amateurs Add Zest IT WILL BE INTERESTING to see just what the greatest stars of the golf game can do as par-wreckers. The best they could do at Meadowbrook, host to the 1948 and '49 Motor City-event, was to slice nine strokes off par figures.

At Plum Hollow in 1947 at the National PGA tourney, Demaret went eeven-under as a qualifying gesture. At wide-open Oakland Hills Ralph Guldahl was just three underregula-tion figures when he won the 1937 National Open. It will be just as interesting, maybe more, to see what happens Friday when each of the name pros ties up with a local amateur in a two-man best-ball tourney for a parcel of booty including a new car, deep freezes and what-have-you. Take the case of Charley Dalgleish, well-known local car dealer and president of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association. Charley plays out at Orchard Lake on an occasional summer week-end.

"Maybe seven-eight times a year," he confesses. He still is trying to go back home some night and expand his chest with the statement: "Today, I broke 100 Yet, the luck of the draw gave Charley a fair-to-middlin' partner. His name is Slammin' Sammy Snead, biggest money winner of the year! I "I'm scared," admits Charley. "I'm afraid of that first tee.

Coming from behind after the Yankees had gained a 5-1 lead in jthe first inning, the Senators! clinched matters by scoring six' i runs in the fourth inning, three on a homer by Rookie Irv Noren. The Nats previously had knocked out Starter Joe Ostrow-ski by scoring two runs on four hits in the second inning. Tom Ferrick, who succeeded Ostrow-ski, was victim of the six-run rally and was charged with the defeat. Fred Sanford, third ex-Brown pitcher to hurl for the Yankees in the game, was tagged for three more runs in the five innings he worked.

But Johnny bounced into a double play. After that Cain was too tough as he chalked up his fourth victory against five defeats.

i CAIN (PERSONALLY had a hand in scoring both of the runs the Sox utilized to knot the count. He poled a. double into the left field corner after Carrasquel had singled in the third to put Chico in a spot to score on an infield out. He lifted a fly ball in the fifth that scored Floyd Baker, who had doubled and gone to third on Carrasquel's second single. The Sox went ahead for the first time in the sixth as they scored again after two men were out.

Zernial doubled and Eddie Robinson singled him across to put Hutchinson on the short end of a 3-2 score. Detroit waited until the seventh to tie the count and the Tigers did it on just one hit. Hutchinson led off with a walk, was bunted to second and scored on Priddy's shot to left. But that wasn't enough for the Sox came right back on singles by Marv Rickert, Zernial, Robinson and Phil Masi to grab their 5-3 edge in the eighth. They went on to tally twice more off Rogovin in the last frame.

Cain, who allowed nine hits, was rough in the clutch as he added the Tigers to the tough teams he has conquered in his freshman year in the big time. He now has defeated New York twice, Boston once and the Bengals. The setback was the second in their last eight games for the Tigers and marked the first time that Hutchinson had faced the Chicagoans in a starting role.

Official business won't start until Saturday, but all the stars will take another whirl Friday in the pro-dealer preliminary. Just to make it interesting, the winning pro will earn a prize of a $2,750 car. Middlecoff completed his second warmup tour in the notable figures of 31-34 65, seven under par. Then Snead blazed in behind him with 33-32 65. Henry Ransom had the next lowest, a 66, and several others broke 70.

IT WAS SNEAD'S first look at the layout. He warmed up with five minutes on the putting green, then took off for seven birdies and 11 pars. No one produced a finer shot than the one Elmer Prieskorn made on the 236-yard sixth hole. Prieskorn, assistant pro at Plum Hollow, sent his 3-wood tee shot in the fly for a hole-in-one. Playing with him were Wally Bur-kemo.

Tommy Shannon and Harry Newman. In the meantime an interesting comment was offered that Red Run has landed "too many" good pros for the Motor City. The author was Howard Capps, PGA tournament supervisor, and it was by no means a complaint. It stemmed from the entry of virtually every topnotcher in the game. "Look at that entry list," says Capps.

"There are 20 of the top 25 money winners this season here. Most tournaments are lucky to get half the top 25 but this field looks like a National Open. "There also are 30 to 35 other pros from the tour here. Many are youngsters who are on their way up, but who haven't played enough to get into the top 25. And then there are all your good Michigan pros.

"The prize list in the Motor City will take in only the low 25 finishers, so that means a lot of good players are going to go hungry here. The competition is going to be keener here than at probably any other stopoff on the circuit this summer." A STUDY OF the PGA's latest money-winning report reveals that the six leaders all are on hand. They start with Snead followed by Jimmy Demaret, Jim Ferrier, Middlecoff, Jackie Burke and Lloyd Mangrum, in that order. Also in the top 10 are Ben Hogan, the Open champ, and Chandler Harper, the new PGA king. The mixed collection of veterans and newcomers not Included among the top 25 boasts players like Gene Sarazen, Skee Riegel, Toney Penna, Marty Furgol and Jimmy Clark.

Michigan's delegation headed by Chick Harbert, Al Watrous, Sam Byfd and Horton Smith gained another noted newcomer among the late entrants. Gib Sellers, former State Open champ, appeared Wednesday for a prac tice round. A total of 70 two-man teams will compete in Friday's pro-amateur. Some 46 touring pros and 24 Michigan pros have drawn a Detroit automobile dealer as a partner in the best-ball event. Play will start at 8:30 a.

the early hour being necessary to wind up the tournament in time for the PGA clinic at 5 p. m. For 90 minutes a dozen of the outstanding players will demonstrate shots before winding up with a driving contest. IT RED RUN Par 5s Put Pros on Spot Dr. Cary Middlecoff, whose "Doctoring Your Golf" column is a regular feature of the Free Press, Is writing a daily article from Red Run while in Detroit to play in the Motor City Open.

Another story follows: BY DR. CARY MIDDLECOFF Fans at the Motor City Open; will be able to watch for that "playing smartness" they talk about golf pros possessing. I'm referring to the way they'll play the par-5 holes. Here at Red Run, only one of the five par-5s can be reached easily in two shots. That's No.

1. On the four others, two good wood shots leave you from 10 to 30 yards short of the green. NOW, THAT offers a great temptation to go for extra distance off the tee and on fairway wood shots on those four holes. After all, IF you can get on, you're putting for an eagle. But that "IF'- means you have to slug a bit, ana mere ine e- 1 in.

This ennrss has tough rough just off the it If slugging sends your wood shots a little ro wild, you're in Z''li 1 trouble. JS- on those four Middlecoff piay tnem as real par-5s. That means sending two good shots safe down the fairway and then trying to pitch close enough to the pin for a birdie putt. Some probably will yield to temptation and go for the extra distance. But I'll bet right now that there'll be better scores on those holes by those who play safe than by those who try to reach the greens in two.

That means if he can shoot a Par 4 on No. 2, for instance, he actually will be scored with a birdie 3, a count which could conceivably help even Mr. Snead.

Sammy Byrd was chuckling about one in the locker room. "It was down in Florida at Seminole, and Lawson Little was the pro on the team," Sam grinned. "He's playing with a 100-shooter who hasn't helped him any, but Little was hot by himself. He's all set to pick up several thousand dollars cold cash coming in on the ISth. "Little gets in some kind of trouble caught in a trap, I think, and reached the par-4 green in four.

But his partner has come up with two great shots and got there in two. "So Little picks up his own ball, leaving it all up to his partner who could even three-putt from 15 feet and still get a five. And that's all Little needs to win. "The fellow babies his first putt, leaving a 30-incher. Then, after a long sweat, he putts that one.

The ball hangs on the lip, go all he has to do is tap it in, and Little collects his loot. "But his partner forgets himself. He's so used to picking up 'gimme putts' like that one, that he swats the ball away instead of holing out like the USGA rules call for. "By the time Little got him to finish out the hole legally, all hope was gone. Little didn't even get into the money.

I think tat added up to about a $10,000 error." I a Kell Fvers Lipnn Groth Werti Huteh'son Kobinson Priddy Trout Kollovra?
