seth70 and cknox,

Thanks for your good words...I will post in this thread each time I update the website...which will probably be about every four days...I will soon begin playing my fictional leagues again...this Dynasty thread has taken all my time...it has been three months since I played my two fictional leagues...and I miss them.

Thanks again for your interest in the Alltime Allstar Association.

I will keep you posted.

When I was at your site last night I visited your 'fictional' league sites too (well, one of them--I think Ruthiana was not working) and was amazed at the detail in each city write up. I'll miss having the write ups here in the forum, but am glad I'll still be able to follow All-Time All-Star.

Thanks for the visit.

Only the Alltime Allstar Association is fully functional...Ruthlandia doesn't have the league files up yet...only a couple of pages with the Town History writeups...Tycobbia doesn't have anything yet...the Web Designer has everything to complete it now...Uniforms, Stadiums, Logos, Team Histories and the League files...hopefully it will be completed soon. Apparently, it is a complex site and tough to design.

The town writeups took quite a while to write and develop...but they came out well, I think. It was just hard to create a history for 40 towns and also to come up with something unique about the owners, general managers, managers, fans and the team promotions at each game. Hope some of them aren't too corny for the OOTPB sophisticates.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Only four games played today in MLB...two in each league...the Yankees are still in first place, one game ahead of the Detroit Tigers...fifth place Washington narrowly squeezed by the Bronx Bombers, while the Tigers were devouring the fourth place Brownies.

Over in the NL, the idle Pittsburgh Pirates moved into first place, a half game ahead of the Giants...it was the second longest game in Major League history, a 21 inning affair between the New York Giants and the third place Boston Braves that cost the Giants the lead...and in the other game, seventh place Brooklyn beat the sixth place Phils with a late inning recovery.

All boxscores and league stats can be seen here:

http://www.ecdreamleagues.com/index.php

In Washington, the Senators' Bert Blyleven (4-6 4.32) and Rick Aguilera (4-0 2.78) joined up and held the first place New Yorkers to only six hits as they eked by the Yanks 4 to 3 on a Tony Oliva (.214) ninth inning pinch hit single, that pushed across Gary Gaetti, who had doubled...reliever Sparky Lyle (1-2 2.57) shouldered the loss and Aguilera secured the win...Rod Carew (.345) stroked three hits and Cecil Travis (.291) and Gaetti (.248) provided two hits and one rbi each.

After being dealt a double dose of defeat yesterday, the Detroit Tigers lashed back with a vengeance and crushed St. Louis and one of their aces, Mike Cuellar, 9-2...Sam Crawford (.274) cracked three hits, scored twice and had one rbi...Hal Newhouser (5-3 2.94) was the winning pitcher...Cuellar (7-4 2.76), a seven-game winner lasted only three innings and was the loser...Newhouser even hit the only homer in the game.

It wasn't a MLB record, but it was quite a marathonic struggle that lasted 21 innings...the Braves finally outdid the Giants, 3-2 and knocked them out of first place. a half game out behind the Pirates...with one out Eddie Mathews singled, then Hank Aaron hammered a double down the leftfield line...leftfielder Barry Bonds had a shot at the hustling, but slow-footed Mathews at home, but threw it away and allowed the deciding run...Juan Marichal was masterful...he went the first thirteen innings and struck out eleven...Braves starter Lew Burdette went eight solid frames, followed by fine relief work by Don McMahon for 7 brilliant innings with 8 strikeouts, then Steve Bedrosian for two and the eventual winner Johnny Sain, who hurled the last four innings...Boston pitchers struck out 21 Giant batters in all...about a week ago on May 22, these same Giants nipped the Chicago Cubs 3-2 in the longest Major League game...a record 22 innings.

Brooklyn's pinchhitting Roy Campanella stunned the Vets stadium crowd with a one-out three-run clout off loser Jim Konstanty (3-3 3.97) to give the Dodgers a 5-3 win...starter Don Newcombe (1-3 4.06) got credit for the victory, assisted by ninth inning help from Bob Welch (0-4 5.48), who got his first save of the season. Philadelphia lefty Curt Simmons sizzled for eight innings allowing only four hits and two runs.

The first place Yankees and the second place Detroit Tigers open a four-game series at Yankee Stadium with a Sunday doubleheader.

New York is one game ahead of Detroit.

It will Jim Bunning (3-3) against Whitey Ford (5-3) in the first game and Schoolboy Rowe (5-3) and Lefty Gomez (3-4) in the nightcap.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Sunday, June 1, 1901

In the American League showdown between the top two teams in the league, they traded 5-1 victories...At Yankee Stadium in the first game Detroit's Jim Bunning (4-3 3.97) and Hank Greenberg (.350) were the whole show...Bunning stifled the Yanks on eight hits and Greenberg doubled and homered to bat in four runs...Whitey Ford (5-4 3.23) was the loser...rightfielder Earl Combs (.358) pulled a muscle and will be out about a week...Mickey Mantle (.270) will replace him in the lineup.

But New York came back in the second game and regained the AL top spot by a game as Lefty Gomez (4-4 2.57) totally shutdown the Tigers on a two-hitter...Derek Jeter (.259) tagged his fifth fourbagger and drove in three runs...Schoolboy Rowe (5-4 3.96) got hung with the loss...this opened up a four-game series that runs through Tuesday.

Third place Chicago was at home against seventh place Cleveland and they split a pair...Bob Feller (4-4 2.56) blanked the White Sox 6-0 on eight hits in the first game with Wilbur Wood (6-3 2.05) taking the loss.

In the nightcap Chisox Magglio Ordonez (.282) and Harold Baines (.244) supplied the home run power with home runs and Ed Cicotte (8-3 3.35) held the Tribe in check until a four run outburst in the ninth in an 8-5 win...It was homer #10 for Ordonez and #3 for Baines...Bob Lemon (3-6 4.56) toiled in defeat for Cleveland...Cicotte tied the Yankees' Ron Guidry for the most wins in the Majors...both have eight.

In Washington, the Senators swept St. Louis, 7-4 and 8-7 in eleven innings to slide by the Browns into fourth place in the standings...It was the Nats third consecutive win and the Browns third loss in a row....The Senators offensive stars in the first game were Tony Oliva (.224), Muddy Ruel (.238) and Goose Goslin (.338)...Oliva tripled in the game-winning run in the eighth...righthander Camilo Pascual (4-4 3.29) posted the victory and Ned Garver (3-3 3.34) chalked up the loss.

In game two, Washington's outstanding fireman did it again...Rick Aguilera (5-0 2.55) twirled three scoreless innings and then took it upon himself to win the game with an eleventh inning walk off home run off of loser Milt Pappas (0-2 8.18)...George Sisler (.352) of the Browns got hits in both games to extend his hitting streak to seventeen games.

In Philly at Shibe Park, the cellar-dwelling Bosox took both ends of the doubleheader from the Athletics, 3-2 and 12-4...Boston's Sammy White doubled in the top of the ninth and scored on Dom DiMaggio's single to take the first game...Smokey Joe Wood (3-3 3.99) fanned eight and went the route for the victory...Reliever Rollie Fingers (1-3 2.60) took the loss...the Red Sox's Moe Vaughan had two hits and two rbis including his second roundtrip job of the season.

Nomar Garciappara (.267) and Ted Williams (.246) were a two-man wrecking crew with 3 hits, 3 runs and 3 rbis in the runaway win...Luis Tiant (1-2 5.94) came on in the third when Roger Clemens arm tightened up and went the rest of the way for the victory...Rube Waddell (2-6 5.60) was kayoed in the fifth and suffered the loss...Boston lost their top hitter, second baseman Johnny Pesky (.326) for about week with a strained back...Bosox Williams (4) and Philadelphia's Jimmie Foxx (6) and Eric Chavez (2) homered in the nightcap.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Sunday, June 1, 1901

In National League play, the first place Pittsburgh Pirates and the second place New York Giants kept pace with one another as they divided their doubleheaders against the Phillies and Reds respectively...The Bucs are still one half game ahead in the race...and the hottest team in baseball, the Boston Braves have now won six straight and have moved to within one game of first place...but they lost pitcher Warren Spahn for seven weeks with a herniated disk.

In Cincinnati, it was a hitter's paradise with 53 hits all total in the two games...Pittsburgh slammed 16 in the first game and was victorious, 11-5...Jason Kendall (.336) had four hits, Honus Wagner (.292) and Roberto Clemente (.299) ripped three hits each and the Pirates hit nine two baggers...Jesse Tannehill (5-4 3.36) was the victor and Bucky Walters (3-6 4.48) absorbed the defeat.

The Redlegs punched out 12 hits as Dave Concepcion (.261) drove in four runs and Frank Robinson (.316) two in the Reds 10-4 romp over the Pirates in game two...Pittsburgh tied an NL record by committing four errors and giving up five unearned runs...Jim Maloney (4-2 3.56) went six for the win with Jose Rijo (0-1 4.05) picking up his fourth save...Pittsburgh's Vic Willis (3-3 3.42) was stuck with the loss, but didn't give up an earned run...Leftfielder Honus Wagner (.296) hurt his back trying to make a shoestring catch and will be out for 1-2 weeks.

At the Polo Grounds, the Giants and the Phils swapped a pair of 2-0 shutouts...reliever Jack Baldschun was needed as a starter by the tired Philadelphia staff and he responded in brilliant fashion with a nine-strikeout three-hit shutout...Christy Mathewson (4-6 3.24) was the tough luck twirler in the opener.

Gaylord Perry (3-4 2.79) hurled a five-hitter to gain the twillbill split, while lefty Steve Carlton (1-8 5.45) fanned nine in six innings and suffered the second game loss.

The redhot Braves won their sixth in a row by taking two from the last place Dodgers...in the opening game of the doubleheader, Wally Berger (.298), Hank Aaron (.285) and Fred McGriff (.219) belted in two runs apiece in a 6-3 triumph...Spahn (5-6 2.80) garnered the win and Burleigh Grimes (1-5 5.48) lost it for Brooklyn.

Game two only had five hits in the game...only two by Boston...but it was enough to win 2-1...Phil Niekro's knuckleball was playing havoc with Dodger hitters as he held them to just three hits, striking out eight and walking six on a windy afternoon at Braves Field...Don Sutton only gave up two hits, but they were back-to-back in the second frame...Javy Lopez singled and Chipper Jones homered.

At Wrigley Field, the Cubbies and the Cardinals each won a game...in the opening game, Moe Brown (6-5 3.15) was particularly outstanding with a fine three-hit 1-0 shutout of St. Louis....He outpitched Mort Cooper (7-4 3.77) for the win...Ernie Banks (.242) singled in Kiki Cuyler, who led off the game with a double...that completed the scoring for that game.

In the second half of the twinbill, it was another well-pitched encounter, the Cards Bob Gibson (5-3 3.35) locked up in a good one with the Cubs Ed Reulbach (3-6 3.86) and bested him 3-2 in 11 innings...Reulbach whiffed eleven Redbirds in the game...Enos Slaughter (.356) tied it up in the ninth with a home run and Tim McCarver (.205) parked one in the tenth to decide it. With the split Chicago moved out of last place into seventh, just ahead of Brooklyn, who lost twice.

Just began playing with injuries...had four the first day.
I had it set to "normal"...hope they slow down a little.

Added Billy Goodman in place of Johnny Pesky for Red Sox.

Added Lloyd Waner in place of Honus Wagner for Pittsburgh.
(Wagner was in leftfield)

Added Bernie Williams in place of Earl Combs for Yankees.

Added Gene Garber in place of Warren Spahn for Braves.
(they need a reliever more than a starter)

Both leagues were off on Monday.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Tuesday, June 3, 1901

Detroit moved back into a first place tie in the AL with the Yanks...In game three of a four-game series in New York, the Tigers Frank Lary (4-2 3.63) notched his fourth win with a sharp four-hit, nine-strikeout performance over New York, 3-1...Herb Pennock (6-4 3.44) collected the loss...Sam Crawford (.273) doubled, tripled and scored two runs...Ty Cobb (.387), the top hitter in MLB, scored twice...New York's Joe DiMaggio (.286 10 HR) was injured catching a flyball and will be sidelined about a week...Bob Meusel will be added to the roster to replace him...another Yank outfielder Earl Combs (.358) was injured on Sunday and will also miss about a week...in the final game of the series, it will be Tommy Bridges (4-3 3.27) and Mel Stottlemyre (3-2 4.17) on the mound...the Yankee pitching corps is dead tired...that is why long reliever Stottlemyre got the start.

At Comiskey Park, seventh place Cleveland's Mike Garcia (2-1 2.55) whitewashed the third place Chisox 5-0 on a fine seven-hitter...he walked four and fanned four in the outing...Red Faber (0-3 3.61) was shackled with the defeat...Nap Lajoie (.303) was the game's offensive star with three hits, three runs scored and one rbi, including his first homer this year.

In Washington, Senator lefthander Jim Kaat (1-1 4.54) came out of the bullpen in a rare start and performed brilliantly with a 3-0 shutout over the fifth place St. Louis Browns...he gave up only four basehits, no walks and fanned one for the fourth place Nats...Dick McNally (3-4 3.17) was the losing hurler...Kelly Puckett (.210) scored twice and had one rbi with his first home run of the season...Brownie George Sisler (.345) had his seventeen game hitting streak stopped.

And in Philadelphia at a Shibe Park doubleheader, the sixth place A's took the opening contest with Lefty Grove (5-5 3.32) stopping last place Boston, 4-2...Grove (.069) and Rickey Henderson (.261) drove in the decisive runs with seventh inning singles...hot-hitting Eric Chavez (.302) had two rbis...Bosox starter George Ruth (3-6 3.91) was nailed with the loss.

The nightcap was taken by the Bostonians to gain the split...the Red Sox got to Ed Plank for the tiebreaking score in the seventh to nip the A's, 4-3...Frank Malzone (.150) and Joe Cronin (.261) pushed across the game-winning runs...Mo Vaughn (.202) hammered his third homer, while Jimmie Foxx (.266) got number seven and Reggie Jackson (.229) number two for Philadelphia...Carl Mays (3-4 2.70) went six innings for the victory...Dick Radatz (3-0 1.09) and Mel Parnell (2-2 4.30) finished up with Parnell getting his second save...the Athletics lost second baseman Jimmy Dykes for a few days...he hurt his arm throwing the ball and will be replaced by Danny Murphy, who was called up.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Tuesday, June 3, 1901

Both of the top two teams in the league lost...first place Pittsburgh fell to fifth place Cincinnati on the road and the second place Giants lost at home to the sixth place Phillies.

Reds lefty Eppa Rixey (2-0 3.40) kept nine hits spaced out and put away the Pirates, 5-1...he walked three and whiffed two to pickup the victory...the Pirates Deacon Phillippe (6-4 2.47) was his victim...Bret Boone (.276) was the Bucs top gun with a two-run shot into the bleachers.

The Phils Pete Alexander (6-3 2.44) was really on target today, blanking the Giants on a six hitter, 4-0...outpitching Carl Hubbell (6-3 2.48)...Chuck Klein (.307) smacked two hits including his sixth roundtripper, scored two and drove in two runs...Del Ennis (.285) added two hits, including a double and an rbi...Phillies second sacker Fresco Thompson developed a stiff shoulder and will be out a week...Pinky Whitney was signed and will fill in for him.

Brooklyn's Mike Piazza (.310) supplied the firepower and Orel Hershiser (5-2 2.10) the pitching power as the Dodgers subdued the redhot third place Boston Braves at Braves Field, 6-2...Piazza socked in five runs with three hits, which included a double and a three-run salvo...Hershiser was touched for nine hits, struckout nine and walked three...Johnny Sain (1-2 3.88) was the loser...the defeat was costly for the Braves...they could have moved into a first place tie with a win...they had won their last six games...Boston called up relief specialist Gene Garber to fill a roster slot for injured starter Warren Spahn, who could be out for six weeks...the Braves have plenty of starters and needed help in the bullpen.

At Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Cubs cooled off the St. Louis Cardinals with a twin beating, 4-3 and 8-4...as they say in baseball, "it ain't over til it's over"...the Cubs proved this old adage by tying it up 3-3 in the ninth when it looked like Dizzy Dean was going beat them...but the tired Dean ran out of gas and gave up the tying runs, when Kiki Cuyler (.260) doubled in two runs...then in the tenth Hack Wilson (.281) doubled off losing pitcher Todd Worrell (4-4 2.52) and scored the winning run on a two base error by centerfielder Chick Hafey, who dropped a deep flyball hit by Ernie Banks...Cuyler almost hit for the cycle as he also tripled and homered...he totalled three rbis...Lon Warneke (1-3 4.50) got his first win with one perfect inning in relief.

In game two, backed by a solid offensive display, Cub righthander Ferguson Jenkins delivered an 8-4 victory over St. Louis...Chicago's fourteen hit attack was led by two circuit blasts by Hack Wilson (.284)...he now has hit seven... and four hits by Cuyler (.272) and three by Bill Dahlen (.333)...Ernie Banks (.241) sent one out of the ballpark, too...this was number 11 for him, second in the NL behind Frank Robinson of Cincy, who has 12...Banks is second in rbis, too...trailing Robinson 43 to 37...John Tudor (4-1 2.53) suffered his first loss of the year...Johnny Mize (.313) slammed homer number seven for the Redbirds.

Chicago 2 Cleveland 1...Faulty fielding was the culprit and cost the visting Indians the game at Comiskey Park...in the seventh reliever Doug Jones mishandled Frank Thomas' grounder and allowed Luke Appling (.302) to score from third...shortstop Joe Sewell's second inning error accounted for the other run...Ed Walsh (5-4 3.11) went the distance and stopped Cleveland on seven hits...Early Wynn (4-5 3.48) gave up no earned runs in six innings and left with the score tied at 1-1...Jones (1-4 2.45) got the loss.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

WASHINGTON 1 - NEW YORK 0...The streaking fourth place Senators just barely extended their win skein to six games with a victory over the second place Yankees at Yankee Stadium...Walter Johnson (6-6) was superb with an eight hit shutout...New York loser Spud Chandler (5-3) was even tougher as he gave up only three hits in seven innings, but one of them was a fifth inning 400-foot blast by Corey Koskie (.265)...New York still trails Detroit by one full game in the American League race.

ST. LOUIS 6 - DETROIT 2...At Bill Veeck Stadium in St. Louis, the fifth place Browns got a fine start out of ace reliever Hoyt Wilhelm (5-3) as he baffled the Tigers on eight hits and snapped their five game losing streak...the Browns Vern Stephens (.283) slammed a solo home run and drove in two runs with two hits and scored twice...Sam West (.251) collected three hits and George Sisler (.342) and Ken Williams (.267) both went 2-4...Detroit's Hank Greenberg (.361) was a perfect 3 for 3 with his eleventh home run and two rbis...he upped his MLB-leading rbi total to 49...Wilhelm put a lot of runners on base as he also walked five, but the first place Tigers couldn't cash in on him...Virgil Trucks was ineffective and lost his first game of the season...he is now 7-1.

CHICAGO 6 - PHILADELPHIA 0...In Philly, the third place Chisox Joe Horlen (4-2) really zeroed in on the sixth place Athletics with a stellar six-hit shutout...he struck out nine and walked only two and lowered his ERA to 2.45...second in the AL to teammate Wilbur Wood's 2.05...Catfish Hunter (3-4) took the loss...Frank Thomas (.298) pounded out three hits and three rbis...he is second in the league to Detroit's Greenberg with 47 rbis...Luke Appling (.310) contributed three hits and scored a couple of runs...and Eddie Collins (.339) added a pair of base knocks, scored one and drove in one.

CLEVELAND 2 - BOSTON 1...In a battle of the two worst teams in the AL, seventh place homestanding Cleveland squeaked by last place Boston on a game-deciding balk by hardluck loser, Pedro Martinez...he had a two-hit shutout until the ill-fated seventh...a walk, two singles by Nap Lajoie (.303) and Tris Speaker (.332) and a balk cost him another game...he is now 1 and 10 on the year...Addie Joss (4-6) gained the win with a nice seven inning stint and Don Mossi (0-0) was awarded his third save with scoreless eighth and ninth innings as he protected the 2-1 lead.

NEW YORK 5 - BOSTON 0...In the seesaw National League battle, the Giants are once again back on the top...at the Polo Grounds, New York's Joe McGinnity (5-4) completely shackled the third place Boston Braves on a splendid four-hitter and dealt them their third loss in a row...coupled with the Pirates loss to St. Louis, the Giants are now a half game in front...he was backed up by some solid and timely hitting by Willie Mays (.247) and Roger Bresnahan (.243), each with two rbis...Tom Glavine (3-4) was brilliant at times striking out ten, but labored at times and was the losing pitcher...Boston had been the hottest team in the league with six victories in a row.

ST. LOUIS 9 - PITTSBURGH 6...At Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the second place Pirates started off great with three runs in the first and finished up with three in the ninth, but did absolutely nothing in between...consequently they fell to the fourth place St. Louis Cards, who were busy bashing out thirteen hits, led by Johnny Mize's (.321) three hits and four rbis and included his eighth homer...the Bucs accumulated a dozen hits off the struggling winner Harry "the Cat" Brecheen (5-3), helped by Todd Worrell (4-4), who struck out the last two batters to pick up his fifth save...in a poor performance Babe Adams (4-6) chalked up the loss...Pie Traynor (.359) drilled three hits to pace the Pirates.

CINCINNATI 9 - CHICAGO 4...At Wrigley Field, a five-run outburst in the seventh carried the fifth place Cincinnati Reds and Paul Derringer (4-6) to victory over the cellar-dwelling Chicago Cubs...Cincy's Bret Boone (.276) swatted in four runs with a pair of two-run singles and Ernie Lombardi (.245) cracked one out of the park, his second this season...Derringer allowed thirteen spaced-out hits, but was backed by fourteen by the Redlegs...everyone in the lineup got at least one hit...Pete Rose (.279) was the leader with three and Ed Roush (.339) and Davy Conception (.274) delivered two apiece.

BROOKLYN 4 - PHILADELPHIA 3...In Ebbets Field, Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance, the Majors number one strikeout artist, blazed his fastball past ten Phillies and registered his eighth triumph against two losses...he is now tied with the Yanks Ron Guidry, the White Sox Ed Cicotte and the Braves Greg Maddux for the MLB lead in wins...the Bums' Duke Snider (.233) doubled in two runs and Zach Wheat (.298) had two base hits...Richie Ashburn (.303) tagged two hits and two rbis for the Phils...Curt Schilling (2-6) went six innings and got the loss.

ST. LOUIS BROWNS 3 - DETROIT TIGERS 2 (12 innings)...In St. Louis it was a tense pitchers battle between two of the best in the league...the Browns' Mike Cuellar (8-4 2.55) and Detroit's Hal Newhouser (5-4 2.86), both of them went all twelve innings...it was finally decided in the twelfth, when George Sisler (.342) singled, stole second, moved to third on a balk and came home on Ken Williams' (.271) single...Cuellar walked none and fanned seven, while Newhouser pretty much matched him with eight K's and two walks.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX 3 - PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 2 (first game)...at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, the third place Pale Hose took both ends of a doubleheader from the sixth place A's...in the opener Ted Lyons (4-4 2.60) stopped them on six hits and was only hurt by Jimmy Foxx's (.268) two-run bomb in the ninth...Chicago was led by Shoeless Joe Jackson's (.364) trio of hits and two runs scored...Frank Thomas (.292) and Magglio Ordonez each had rbi's...A's loser Ed Rommel (5-5 3.14) went eight frames and limited the Sox to two earned runs.

CLEVELAND INDIANS 11 - BOSTON RED SOX 1...at Municipal Stadium Cleveland's Herb Score was on target as he overpowered the Bosox on a five-hitter...the Tribe trounced loser Cy Young, blasting him for ten runs in four innings, only six of them were earned...Earl Averill (.302) propelled the Indian attack with four hits, three runs scored and two rbi's, including his sixth fourbagger...Hal Trosky (.296) chipped in a three-run bash...Nap Lajoie (.309) delivered three hits and two rbi's...Tris Speaker (.335), Larry Doby (.298) and Joe Sewell each slapped two hits in the Tribe's fifteen-hit count.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES 4 - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 3 (first game-11innings)...the second place Pirates and fourth place Cards divided a doubleheader, causing Pittsburgh to slip to a full game out of first place...the first game was a real thriller at Forbes Field...in the last of the eleventh, pinchhitter Glenn Wright (.208) singled off reliever Todd Worrell and drove George Grantham in from second...Pie Traynor (.361) had slapped a two-run homer off of Redbird starter Mort Cooper (7-5 3.75) to tie it in the eighth at 2-2...Stan Musial then put St. Louis up by one in the tenth...only to be matched by Bucco Arky Vaughan's solo smash in the bottom of the inning...Musial twice saved the day and threw out the winning runs in the ninth and eleventh innings...Reliever Kent Tekulve (2-0 4.71) got the win with two tension-filled innings of relief...Cooper tired late in the game and received the loss.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

WASHINGTON SENATORS 8 - NEW YORK YANKEES 5 (10 innings)...The Senators rebounded from a tough loss yesterday with a resounding fifteen hit barrage to beat the Bronx Bombers and sink them to second place behind the Tigers, one game out...Corey Koskie (.327) slammed four hits and drove in two runs, Cecil Travis (.295) had three hits and three rbis and Kirby Puckett (.225) contributed two hits and two runs scored...Washington teed off on loser Sparky Lyle (1-3 3.86) in the three-run tenth to secure the victory...Rick Aguilera (6-0 2.35) made his MLB-leading twenty-fourth appearance and got the win with two innings of relief...although he did give up one unearned run in the ninth...Lou Gehrig (.298) and Joe "Flash" Gordon (.258) both pushed across two runs for New York.

DETROIT TIGERS 7 - ST. LOUIS BROWNS 5...The Tigers are on the prowl and back atop the AL...ineffective relief pitching plagued both Detroit and St. Louis, but the Tigers offense overcame it by lashing out fourteen hits...everyone in the starting lineup collected at least one hit...five of them had two each...Hank Greenberg (.358) added to his MLB-tops rbi total with two more...he now has 53...Jim Bunning (5-3 3.96) went seven and registered the win...he gave up all three runs in the first inning and left with the score 5-3...John Hiller had a very rocky appearance and got his fifth save, despite six hits, two bases on balls and two runs in two innings...Browns' loser Urban Shocker (1-6 7.24) came in with the score tied 3-3 in the eighth, but didn't last an inning...his successor Stu Miller wasn't much better...starter Ned Garver did a creditable job against the best hitting team in baseball...the Tigers lead the majors with a .293 average.

PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 2 - CHICAGO WHITE SOX 1...the seventh place A's Rube Waddell and the third place Chisox's Ed Cicotte stood toe-to-toe to each other for nine innings and when the smoke cleared, Philadelphia came away the winner in a close one...Waddell (3-6 5.03), a disappointment so far this season, was exceptional, yielding only two singles...he fanned five and walked two...Cicotte (8-4 3.24) failed to get his ninth win...back-to-back ninth inning doubles by Al Simmons (.318) and Jimmie Foxx (.271) did him in.

CLEVELAND INDIANS 2 - BOSTON RED SOX 1 ...In another tight pitchers battle, Earl Averill (.301) crushed a Dick Radatz fastball for a two-run walk-off homer...it was number seven for him...Bob Feller of the sixth place Indians pitched very well the first eight frames and was removed for a pinchhitter...Doug Jones (2-4 2.35) chunked a scoreless ninth and banked a win...Roger Clemens started for eighth place Boston, but left with a mild leg cramp after two innings...he was followed by Mel Parnell for two and Luis Tiant for four innings, both of whom did well...Radatz (3-1 1.46) suffered his first loss this season.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

BOSTON BRAVES 3 - NEW YORK GIANTS 2...At the Polo Grounds, Boston's Phil Niekro and Gene Garber collaborated on a six hitter to squeeze by the first place Giants, who slipped back into a tie with the Pirates...winner Niekro (4-2 2.54) went into the eighth and gave up only two runs, neither was earned...with two men out and the score 3-2, he issued two walks...that was when Gene Garber strolled in from the bullpen and got the last four outs for his first save...Brave slugger Hank Aaron (.276) hammered his fourth home run and had three hits in all...Christy Mathewson (4-7 3.19) was the losing pitcher...third place Boston is now only two-and-a-half games behind the NL leaders.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES 8 -ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 7...The Pirates are back tied for first with the Giants in the National League pennant chase...In the friendly confines of Forbes Field, Pittsburgh slammed six doubles, led by Paul Waner and Bill Mazeroski, each with two...Mazeroski (.261) stroked three hits, Pie Traynor (.370), Waner (.292) and George Grantham (.304) swatted a pair of hits each...Mazeroski plated the winning tally in the eighth off of loser Al Hrabosky (0-3 4.81)...Bob Veale (4-2 4.42) benefited from the Bucs' offensive display and got the triumph, rescued by Kent Tekulve, who got save number three...he put the fourth place Cards down in order in the last two frames...Jesse Tannehill and Max Lanier started, but left early...Chick Hafey (.296), Ted Simmons (.304) and Frankie Frisch (.303) all walloped three hits each in defeat.

CHICAGO CUBS 3 - CINCINNATI REDS 1...Righthander Moe Brown (7-5 2.85) is really on a roll...this was his seventh straight victory and seventh straight complete game...during this stretch he has surrendered only 4 earned runs, five overall...he was very unimpressive and lost his first five games...this time the fifth place Reds managed only four hits off him...Bill Madlock (.296) sent a solo shot out of Wrigley Field in the second inning for the last place Bruins and Billy Hermann(.299) singled in the other two in the fourth...loser Jim Maloney (4-3 3.58) pitched well.

BROOKLYN DODGERS 5 - PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 4 ...Ron Cey, a forgotten man on the bench for the Dodgers most of the season, but the .188 hitter rapped a two-out pinch two-bagger in the ninth off of reliever Jim Konstanty (3-4 3.71) to give Brooklyn a surprise come-from-behind victory...Philly lefthander Curt Simmons was in control and went into the last inning with a 4-2 lead, but couldn't hold it...Don Sutton twirled the first seven innings for Brooklyn...his relief Ron Perranoski (5-2 1.91) gave up a run in two innings, but still picked up the win...Dodger outfielder Gary Sheffield (.266) garnered three hits, including his fifth homer and Zach Wheat (.312) bashed a couple of base hits...Richie Ashburn (.306) and Chuck Klein (.305) were best for Philadelphia with two hits apiece...Konstanty was the losing pitcher.

Over in the NL, the idle Pittsburgh Pirates moved into first place, a half game ahead of the Giants...it was the second longest game in Major League history, a 21 inning affair between the New York Giants and the third place Boston Braves that cost the Giants the lead...and in the other game, seventh place Brooklyn beat the sixth place Phils with a late inning recovery. All boxscores and league stats can be seen here: http://www.ecdreamleagues.com/index.php In Washington, the Senators' Bert Blyleven (4-6 4.32) and Rick Aguilera (4-0 2.78) joined up and held the first place New Yorkers to only six hits as they eked by the Yanks 4 to 3 on a Tony Oliva (.214) ninth inning pinch hit single, that pushed across Gary Gaetti, who had doubled...reliever Sparky Lyle (1-2 2.57) shouldered the loss and Aguilera secured the win...Rod Carew (.345) stroked three hits and Cecil Travis (.291) and Gaetti (.248) provided two hits and one rbi each. After being dealt a double dose of defeat yesterday, the Detroit Tigers lashed back with a vengeance and crushed St. Louis and one of their aces, Mike Cuellar, 9-2...Sam Crawford (.274) cracked three hits, scored twice and had one rbi...Hal Newhouser (5-3 2.94) was the winning pitcher...Cuellar (7-4 2.76), a seven-game winner lasted only three innings and was the loser...Newhouser even hit the only homer in the game. It wasn't a MLB record, but it was quite a marathonic struggle that lasted 21 innings...the Braves finally outdid the Giants, 3-2 and knocked them out of first place. a half game out behind the Pirates...with one out Eddie Mathews singled, then Hank Aaron hammered a double down the leftfield line...leftfielder Barry Bonds had a shot at the hustling, but slow-footed Mathews at home, but threw it away and allowed the deciding run...Juan Marichal was masterful...he went the first thirteen innings and struck out eleven...Braves starter Lew Burdette went eight solid frames, followed by fine relief work by Don McMahon for 7 brilliant innings with 8 strikeouts, then Steve Bedrosian for two and the eventual winner Johnny Sain, who hurled the last four innings...Boston pitchers struck out 21 Giant batters in all...about a week ago on May 22, these same Giants nipped the Chicago Cubs 3-2 in the longest Major League game...a record 22 innings. Brooklyn's pinchhitting Roy Campanella stunned the Vets stadium crowd with a one-out three-run clout off loser Jim Konstanty (3-3 3.97) to give the Dodgers a 5-3 win...starter Don Newcombe (1-3 4.06) got credit for the victory, assisted by ninth inning help from Bob Welch (0-4 5.48), who got his first save of the season. Philadelphia lefty Curt Simmons sizzled for eight innings allowing only four hits and two runs.

But New York came back in the second game and regained the AL top spot by a game as Lefty Gomez (4-4 2.57) totally shutdown the Tigers on a two-hitter...Derek Jeter (.259) tagged his fifth fourbagger and drove in three runs...Schoolboy Rowe (5-4 3.96) got hung with the loss...this opened up a four-game series that runs through Tuesday. Third place Chicago was at home against seventh place Cleveland and they split a pair...Bob Feller (4-4 2.56) blanked the White Sox 6-0 on eight hits in the first game with Wilbur Wood (6-3 2.05) taking the loss. In the nightcap Chisox Magglio Ordonez (.282) and Harold Baines (.244) supplied the home run power with home runs and Ed Cicotte (8-3 3.35) held the Tribe in check until a four run outburst in the ninth in an 8-5 win...It was homer #10 for Ordonez and #3 for Baines...Bob Lemon (3-6 4.56) toiled in defeat for Cleveland...Cicotte tied the Yankees' Ron Guidry for the most wins in the Majors...both have eight.

In Cincinnati, it was a hitter's paradise with 53 hits all total in the two games...Pittsburgh slammed 16 in the first game and was victorious, 11-5...Jason Kendall (.336) had four hits, Honus Wagner (.292) and Roberto Clemente (.299) ripped three hits each and the Pirates hit nine two baggers...Jesse Tannehill (5-4 3.36) was the victor and Bucky Walters (3-6 4.48) absorbed the defeat. The Redlegs punched out 12 hits as Dave Concepcion (.261) drove in four runs and Frank Robinson (.316) two in the Reds 10-4 romp over the Pirates in game two...Pittsburgh tied an NL record by committing four errors and giving up five unearned runs...Jim Maloney (4-2 3.56) went six for the win with Jose Rijo (0-1 4.05) picking up his fourth save...Pittsburgh's Vic Willis (3-3 3.42) was stuck with the loss, but didn't give up an earned run...Leftfielder Honus Wagner (.296) hurt his back trying to make a shoestring catch and will be out for 1-2 weeks. At the Polo Grounds, the Giants and the Phils swapped a pair of 2-0 shutouts...reliever Jack Baldschun was needed as a starter by the tired Philadelphia staff and he responded in brilliant fashion with a nine-strikeout three-hit shutout...Christy Mathewson (4-6 3.24) was the tough luck twirler in the opener. Gaylord Perry (3-4 2.79) hurled a five-hitter to gain the twillbill split, while lefty Steve Carlton (1-8 5.45) fanned nine in six innings and suffered the second game loss. The redhot Braves won their sixth in a row by taking two from the last place Dodgers...in the opening game of the doubleheader, Wally Berger (.298), Hank Aaron (.285) and Fred McGriff (.219) belted in two runs apiece in a 6-3 triumph...Spahn (5-6 2.80) garnered the win and Burleigh Grimes (1-5 5.48) lost it for Brooklyn. Game two only had five hits in the game...only two by Boston...but it was enough to win 2-1...Phil Niekro's knuckleball was playing havoc with Dodger hitters as he held them to just three hits, striking out eight and walking six on a windy afternoon at Braves Field...Don Sutton only gave up two hits, but they were back-to-back in the second frame...Javy Lopez singled and Chipper Jones homered. At Wrigley Field, the Cubbies and the Cardinals each won a game...in the opening game, Moe Brown (6-5 3.15) was particularly outstanding with a fine three-hit 1-0 shutout of St. Louis....He outpitched Mort Cooper (7-4 3.77) for the win...Ernie Banks (.242) singled in Kiki Cuyler, who led off the game with a double...that completed the scoring for that game. In the second half of the twinbill, it was another well-pitched encounter, the Cards Bob Gibson (5-3 3.35) locked up in a good one with the Cubs Ed Reulbach (3-6 3.86) and bested him 3-2 in 11 innings...Reulbach whiffed eleven Redbirds in the game...Enos Slaughter (.356) tied it up in the ninth with a home run and Tim McCarver (.205) parked one in the tenth to decide it. With the split Chicago moved out of last place into seventh, just ahead of Brooklyn, who lost twice. See boxscores and all league stats here: http://www.ecdreamleagues.com/index.php

Added Billy Goodman in place of Johnny Pesky for Red Sox. Added Lloyd Waner in place of Honus Wagner for Pittsburgh. (Wagner was in leftfield) Added Bernie Williams in place of Earl Combs for Yankees. Added Gene Garber in place of Warren Spahn for Braves. (they need a reliever more than a starter)

Reds lefty Eppa Rixey (2-0 3.40) kept nine hits spaced out and put away the Pirates, 5-1...he walked three and whiffed two to pickup the victory...the Pirates Deacon Phillippe (6-4 2.47) was his victim...Bret Boone (.276) was the Bucs top gun with a two-run shot into the bleachers. The Phils Pete Alexander (6-3 2.44) was really on target today, blanking the Giants on a six hitter, 4-0...outpitching Carl Hubbell (6-3 2.48)...Chuck Klein (.307) smacked two hits including his sixth roundtripper, scored two and drove in two runs...Del Ennis (.285) added two hits, including a double and an rbi...Phillies second sacker Fresco Thompson developed a stiff shoulder and will be out a week...Pinky Whitney was signed and will fill in for him. Brooklyn's Mike Piazza (.310) supplied the firepower and Orel Hershiser (5-2 2.10) the pitching power as the Dodgers subdued the redhot third place Boston Braves at Braves Field, 6-2...Piazza socked in five runs with three hits, which included a double and a three-run salvo...Hershiser was touched for nine hits, struckout nine and walked three...Johnny Sain (1-2 3.88) was the loser...the defeat was costly for the Braves...they could have moved into a first place tie with a win...they had won their last six games...Boston called up relief specialist Gene Garber to fill a roster slot for injured starter Warren Spahn, who could be out for six weeks...the Braves have plenty of starters and needed help in the bullpen. At Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Cubs cooled off the St. Louis Cardinals with a twin beating, 4-3 and 8-4...as they say in baseball, "it ain't over til it's over"...the Cubs proved this old adage by tying it up 3-3 in the ninth when it looked like Dizzy Dean was going beat them...but the tired Dean ran out of gas and gave up the tying runs, when Kiki Cuyler (.260) doubled in two runs...then in the tenth Hack Wilson (.281) doubled off losing pitcher Todd Worrell (4-4 2.52) and scored the winning run on a two base error by centerfielder Chick Hafey, who dropped a deep flyball hit by Ernie Banks...Cuyler almost hit for the cycle as he also tripled and homered...he totalled three rbis...Lon Warneke (1-3 4.50) got his first win with one perfect inning in relief. In game two, backed by a solid offensive display, Cub righthander Ferguson Jenkins delivered an 8-4 victory over St. Louis...Chicago's fourteen hit attack was led by two circuit blasts by Hack Wilson (.284)...he now has hit seven... and four hits by Cuyler (.272) and three by Bill Dahlen (.333)...Ernie Banks (.241) sent one out of the ballpark, too...this was number 11 for him, second in the NL behind Frank Robinson of Cincy, who has 12...Banks is second in rbis, too...trailing Robinson 43 to 37...John Tudor (4-1 2.53) suffered his first loss of the year...Johnny Mize (.313) slammed homer number seven for the Redbirds.

Brooklyn 3 Boston 1...Dodger lefty Sandy Koufax (4-4 4.25) had his good stuff and outduelled the Braves Greg Maddux (8-3 2.91)...Koufax fanned nine, walked none and was touched for only five hits, two doubles and two triples, but all with the bases empty...Maddox gave up nine hits, struck out seven and walked no one...Gil Hodges (.273), Gary Sheffield (.250) and Pee Wee Reese (.291) each had rbis for the winners...Rafael Furcal (.245) cracked a double and triple off of Koufax...Koufax now has 74 strikeouts, second in the Majors behind teammate Dazzy Vance (7-2 2.85), who has 75.

Eugene Church Hall Of Famer Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 36,187	ALLTIME ALLSTAR ASSOCIATION Thursday, June 5, 1901 AMERICAN LEAGUE WASHINGTON 1 - NEW YORK 0...The streaking fourth place Senators just barely extended their win skein to six games with a victory over the second place Yankees at Yankee Stadium...Walter Johnson (6-6) was superb with an eight hit shutout...New York loser Spud Chandler (5-3) was even tougher as he gave up only three hits in seven innings, but one of them was a fifth inning 400-foot blast by Corey Koskie (.265)...New York still trails Detroit by one full game in the American League race. ST. LOUIS 6 - DETROIT 2...At Bill Veeck Stadium in St. Louis, the fifth place Browns got a fine start out of ace reliever Hoyt Wilhelm (5-3) as he baffled the Tigers on eight hits and snapped their five game losing streak...the Browns Vern Stephens (.283) slammed a solo home run and drove in two runs with two hits and scored twice...Sam West (.251) collected three hits and George Sisler (.342) and Ken Williams (.267) both went 2-4...Detroit's Hank Greenberg (.361) was a perfect 3 for 3 with his eleventh home run and two rbis...he upped his MLB-leading rbi total to 49...Wilhelm put a lot of runners on base as he also walked five, but the first place Tigers couldn't cash in on him...Virgil Trucks was ineffective and lost his first game of the season...he is now 7-1. CHICAGO 6 - PHILADELPHIA 0...In Philly, the third place Chisox Joe Horlen (4-2) really zeroed in on the sixth place Athletics with a stellar six-hit shutout...he struck out nine and walked only two and lowered his ERA to 2.45...second in the AL to teammate Wilbur Wood's 2.05...Catfish Hunter (3-4) took the loss...Frank Thomas (.298) pounded out three hits and three rbis...he is second in the league to Detroit's Greenberg with 47 rbis...Luke Appling (.310) contributed three hits and scored a couple of runs...and Eddie Collins (.339) added a pair of base knocks, scored one and drove in one. CLEVELAND 2 - BOSTON 1...In a battle of the two worst teams in the AL, seventh place homestanding Cleveland squeaked by last place Boston on a game-deciding balk by hardluck loser, Pedro Martinez...he had a two-hit shutout until the ill-fated seventh...a walk, two singles by Nap Lajoie (.303) and Tris Speaker (.332) and a balk cost him another game...he is now 1 and 10 on the year...Addie Joss (4-6) gained the win with a nice seven inning stint and Don Mossi (0-0) was awarded his third save with scoreless eighth and ninth innings as he protected the 2-1 lead. See all Boxscores, Stats and Standings here: http://www.ecdreamleagues.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL LEAGUE NEW YORK 5 - BOSTON 0...In the seesaw National League battle, the Giants are once again back on the top...at the Polo Grounds, New York's Joe McGinnity (5-4) completely shackled the third place Boston Braves on a splendid four-hitter and dealt them their third loss in a row...coupled with the Pirates loss to St. Louis, the Giants are now a half game in front...he was backed up by some solid and timely hitting by Willie Mays (.247) and Roger Bresnahan (.243), each with two rbis...Tom Glavine (3-4) was brilliant at times striking out ten, but labored at times and was the losing pitcher...Boston had been the hottest team in the league with six victories in a row. ST. LOUIS 9 - PITTSBURGH 6...At Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the second place Pirates started off great with three runs in the first and finished up with three in the ninth, but did absolutely nothing in between...consequently they fell to the fourth place St. Louis Cards, who were busy bashing out thirteen hits, led by Johnny Mize's (.321) three hits and four rbis and included his eighth homer...the Bucs accumulated a dozen hits off the struggling winner Harry "the Cat" Brecheen (5-3), helped by Todd Worrell (4-4), who struck out the last two batters to pick up his fifth save...in a poor performance Babe Adams (4-6) chalked up the loss...Pie Traynor (.359) drilled three hits to pace the Pirates. CINCINNATI 9 - CHICAGO 4...At Wrigley Field, a five-run outburst in the seventh carried the fifth place Cincinnati Reds and Paul Derringer (4-6) to victory over the cellar-dwelling Chicago Cubs...Cincy's Bret Boone (.276) swatted in four runs with a pair of two-run singles and Ernie Lombardi (.245) cracked one out of the park, his second this season...Derringer allowed thirteen spaced-out hits, but was backed by fourteen by the Redlegs...everyone in the lineup got at least one hit...Pete Rose (.279) was the leader with three and Ed Roush (.339) and Davy Conception (.274) delivered two apiece. BROOKLYN 4 - PHILADELPHIA 3...In Ebbets Field, Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance, the Majors number one strikeout artist, blazed his fastball past ten Phillies and registered his eighth triumph against two losses...he is now tied with the Yanks Ron Guidry, the White Sox Ed Cicotte and the Braves Greg Maddux for the MLB lead in wins...the Bums' Duke Snider (.233) doubled in two runs and Zach Wheat (.298) had two base hits...Richie Ashburn (.303) tagged two hits and two rbis for the Phils...Curt Schilling (2-6) went six innings and got the loss.

ST. LOUIS BROWNS 3 - DETROIT TIGERS 2 (12 innings)...In St. Louis it was a tense pitchers battle between two of the best in the league...the Browns' Mike Cuellar (8-4 2.55) and Detroit's Hal Newhouser (5-4 2.86), both of them went all twelve innings...it was finally decided in the twelfth, when George Sisler (.342) singled, stole second, moved to third on a balk and came home on Ken Williams' (.271) single...Cuellar walked none and fanned seven, while Newhouser pretty much matched him with eight K's and two walks. CHICAGO WHITE SOX 3 - PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 2 (first game)...at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, the third place Pale Hose took both ends of a doubleheader from the sixth place A's...in the opener Ted Lyons (4-4 2.60) stopped them on six hits and was only hurt by Jimmy Foxx's (.268) two-run bomb in the ninth...Chicago was led by Shoeless Joe Jackson's (.364) trio of hits and two runs scored...Frank Thomas (.292) and Magglio Ordonez each had rbi's...A's loser Ed Rommel (5-5 3.14) went eight frames and limited the Sox to two earned runs. CHICAGO WHITE SOX 5 - PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 3 (second game)...in game two the White Sox got good pitching from Wilbur Wood (7-3 2.15), the AL ERA leader, and roundtrippers from Frank Thomas (.293) and Magglio Ordonez (.274)...Thomas took over the MLB HR derby when he nailed his fourteenth...he also tied Detroit's Hank Greenberg for the most rbi's with 49...it was number eleven for Ordonez...Chief Bender (1-2 4.95) gave up all five runs in six-plus innings and absorbed the loss...the Chisox have now won four straight and the A's have fallen in their last four contests. CLEVELAND INDIANS 11 - BOSTON RED SOX 1...at Municipal Stadium Cleveland's Herb Score was on target as he overpowered the Bosox on a five-hitter...the Tribe trounced loser Cy Young, blasting him for ten runs in four innings, only six of them were earned...Earl Averill (.302) propelled the Indian attack with four hits, three runs scored and two rbi's, including his sixth fourbagger...Hal Trosky (.296) chipped in a three-run bash...Nap Lajoie (.309) delivered three hits and two rbi's...Tris Speaker (.335), Larry Doby (.298) and Joe Sewell each slapped two hits in the Tribe's fifteen-hit count.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES 4 - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 3 (first game-11innings)...the second place Pirates and fourth place Cards divided a doubleheader, causing Pittsburgh to slip to a full game out of first place...the first game was a real thriller at Forbes Field...in the last of the eleventh, pinchhitter Glenn Wright (.208) singled off reliever Todd Worrell and drove George Grantham in from second...Pie Traynor (.361) had slapped a two-run homer off of Redbird starter Mort Cooper (7-5 3.75) to tie it in the eighth at 2-2...Stan Musial then put St. Louis up by one in the tenth...only to be matched by Bucco Arky Vaughan's solo smash in the bottom of the inning...Musial twice saved the day and threw out the winning runs in the ninth and eleventh innings...Reliever Kent Tekulve (2-0 4.71) got the win with two tension-filled innings of relief...Cooper tired late in the game and received the loss. ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 8 - PITTSBURGH PIRATES 6 (second game)...In the nightcap, St. Louis gained a split...Rogers Hornsby (.293) clubbed two doubles and a single to account for 3 runs...Chick Hafey (.290) doubled and singled twice for two more runs...and Stan Musial (.276) drove in two in the Redbird eleven hit output...Bob Gibson (6-3 3.63) struggled late, but still picked up the win with ninth inning help from Al Hrabosky, who got save number two...Pittsburgh tallied five runs in the last two innings to make it close...Vic Willis (3-4 3.63) lost it for the Bucs. CINCINNATI REDS 9 - CHICAGO CUBS 4 ...at Wrigley Field a five-run outburst in the seventh carried the fifth place Cincinnati Reds and Paul Derringer (4-6 3.53) past the last place Chicago Cubs...Cincy's Bret Boone (.276) swatted in four runs with a pair of two-run singles and Ernie Lombardi (.245) cracked one out of the park...Derringer permitted thirteen hits, but was supported by fourteen productive hits by the Reds...every Redleg in the lineup had at least one hit...Pete Rose (.279) smacked three...Ed Roush (.339) and Davy Concepcion had two hits each...Charlie Root (3-7 4.20) was tagged with the defeat.

DETROIT TIGERS 7 - ST. LOUIS BROWNS 5...The Tigers are on the prowl and back atop the AL...ineffective relief pitching plagued both Detroit and St. Louis, but the Tigers offense overcame it by lashing out fourteen hits...everyone in the starting lineup collected at least one hit...five of them had two each...Hank Greenberg (.358) added to his MLB-tops rbi total with two more...he now has 53...Jim Bunning (5-3 3.96) went seven and registered the win...he gave up all three runs in the first inning and left with the score 5-3...John Hiller had a very rocky appearance and got his fifth save, despite six hits, two bases on balls and two runs in two innings...Browns' loser Urban Shocker (1-6 7.24) came in with the score tied 3-3 in the eighth, but didn't last an inning...his successor Stu Miller wasn't much better...starter Ned Garver did a creditable job against the best hitting team in baseball...the Tigers lead the majors with a .293 average. PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 2 - CHICAGO WHITE SOX 1...the seventh place A's Rube Waddell and the third place Chisox's Ed Cicotte stood toe-to-toe to each other for nine innings and when the smoke cleared, Philadelphia came away the winner in a close one...Waddell (3-6 5.03), a disappointment so far this season, was exceptional, yielding only two singles...he fanned five and walked two...Cicotte (8-4 3.24) failed to get his ninth win...back-to-back ninth inning doubles by Al Simmons (.318) and Jimmie Foxx (.271) did him in. CLEVELAND INDIANS 2 - BOSTON RED SOX 1 ...In another tight pitchers battle, Earl Averill (.301) crushed a Dick Radatz fastball for a two-run walk-off homer...it was number seven for him...Bob Feller of the sixth place Indians pitched very well the first eight frames and was removed for a pinchhitter...Doug Jones (2-4 2.35) chunked a scoreless ninth and banked a win...Roger Clemens started for eighth place Boston, but left with a mild leg cramp after two innings...he was followed by Mel Parnell for two and Luis Tiant for four innings, both of whom did well...Radatz (3-1 1.46) suffered his first loss this season. See all league stats and info here: http://www.ecdreamleagues.com/index.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL LEAGUE BOSTON BRAVES 3 - NEW YORK GIANTS 2...At the Polo Grounds, Boston's Phil Niekro and Gene Garber collaborated on a six hitter to squeeze by the first place Giants, who slipped back into a tie with the Pirates...winner Niekro (4-2 2.54) went into the eighth and gave up only two runs, neither was earned...with two men out and the score 3-2, he issued two walks...that was when Gene Garber strolled in from the bullpen and got the last four outs for his first save...Brave slugger Hank Aaron (.276) hammered his fourth home run and had three hits in all...Christy Mathewson (4-7 3.19) was the losing pitcher...third place Boston is now only two-and-a-half games behind the NL leaders. PITTSBURGH PIRATES 8 -ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 7...The Pirates are back tied for first with the Giants in the National League pennant chase...In the friendly confines of Forbes Field, Pittsburgh slammed six doubles, led by Paul Waner and Bill Mazeroski, each with two...Mazeroski (.261) stroked three hits, Pie Traynor (.370), Waner (.292) and George Grantham (.304) swatted a pair of hits each...Mazeroski plated the winning tally in the eighth off of loser Al Hrabosky (0-3 4.81)...Bob Veale (4-2 4.42) benefited from the Bucs' offensive display and got the triumph, rescued by Kent Tekulve, who got save number three...he put the fourth place Cards down in order in the last two frames...Jesse Tannehill and Max Lanier started, but left early...Chick Hafey (.296), Ted Simmons (.304) and Frankie Frisch (.303) all walloped three hits each in defeat. CHICAGO CUBS 3 - CINCINNATI REDS 1...Righthander Moe Brown (7-5 2.85) is really on a roll...this was his seventh straight victory and seventh straight complete game...during this stretch he has surrendered only 4 earned runs, five overall...he was very unimpressive and lost his first five games...this time the fifth place Reds managed only four hits off him...Bill Madlock (.296) sent a solo shot out of Wrigley Field in the second inning for the last place Bruins and Billy Hermann(.299) singled in the other two in the fourth...loser Jim Maloney (4-3 3.58) pitched well. BROOKLYN DODGERS 5 - PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 4 ...Ron Cey, a forgotten man on the bench for the Dodgers most of the season, but the .188 hitter rapped a two-out pinch two-bagger in the ninth off of reliever Jim Konstanty (3-4 3.71) to give Brooklyn a surprise come-from-behind victory...Philly lefthander Curt Simmons was in control and went into the last inning with a 4-2 lead, but couldn't hold it...Don Sutton twirled the first seven innings for Brooklyn...his relief Ron Perranoski (5-2 1.91) gave up a run in two innings, but still picked up the win...Dodger outfielder Gary Sheffield (.266) garnered three hits, including his fifth homer and Zach Wheat (.312) bashed a couple of base hits...Richie Ashburn (.306) and Chuck Klein (.305) were best for Philadelphia with two hits apiece...Konstanty was the losing pitcher.
