Dodgers’ Streak
Halted by Cubs
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Brooklyn's 13-game win spree is
the latest casualty of baseball's
"heartbreak week” which also
saw the end of Cincinnati Ewell
Blackwell’s 16-game atring and
Pittaburgh Frank Gustine’s 21-
game hitting streak.
Add to these disappointments the
collapse of the Boston Red Sox who
went into a four-game losing tail-
spin after seven straight victories
and the end on Monday of the New
York Giants' consecutive game
home run streak at 15.
Although the St Louia Cardinals
pulled out of their downward
plunge by thumping the Phillies
last night. 6-1. it might very well be
that the Red Birds' pennant hopes
also died during the week in three
straight defeats at the hands of the
Dodgers.
Chicago ended the Brooks' long-
est success story since 1924 with a
10-8 triumph engineered by Catcher
Clyde McCullough's two-run homer
in the ninth inning
Both New York and St. Louis
won't clipping the Dodgers' lead
nine games, with the Giants hold-
ing a one percentage point edge on
the cards for second place.
Dave Koslo was in superb form
as he lefthanded the Giants to a
2-1 edge over Pittsburgh
Murry Dickson and Whitey Kur-
owski teamed up on the Phils to
assure St. Louis of that 6-1 edge.
Boston lost ground in the race,
splitting two with Cincinnati John-
ny Sain hurled the Braves to a 4-2
edge in the opener with the help of
Bob Elliott's two-run homer in the
first inning Another homer by
Elliott with a man on failed to de-
cide the finale which went to Cincy
in 12 innings, 3-2.
In the American League, after
the New York Yankees had opened
the door by bowing to Cleveland in
a day game, 4-3. the Detroit Tigers
knocked off the Boston Red Sox in
a night game, 3-1, leaving the
Yanks 12 games ahead
One bad inning, the eighth, when
St. Louis scored twice, ruined Phil-
adelphia's Dick Fowler, who struck
out eight men but bowed to the
Browns’ Bob Muncrief, 4-1.
Washington did some streak-
smashing of its own, scoring its
first home win of the year over
Chicago, 8-1. behind the seven-hit
pitching of Early Wynn, who regis-
tered his 12th victory.

Fort Worth lost its best chance
to replace Houston on top of the
Texas League standings last night,
but the Cats could do it tonight
The lowly San Antonio Millions
converted Houston's lead to a mere
three percentage points by down-
ing the Buffs. 1-0, 7-4.
Dallas kept Fort Worth from the
top spot with a 3-1 victory. In other
games, Tulsa squeezed by Okla-
homa City, 5-4, and Beaumont de-
feated Shreveport, 5-1
Southpaw Frank Biscan bested
the league's top pitcher. Clarence
Beers in the first game, turning
in a three-hit chore Tom Lewis'
home run in the fourth inning was
the only score.
Houston jumped into a four-run
lead in the first inning of the night-
cap. but San Antonio came right
back with two runs in the fourth on
three singles and error In the six-
th. five hits and a walk produced
five runs and the ball game was
San Antonio's
The same teams take the field
Righthander Bill McDonald scat-
tered five hits and was in danger
only once when the Sox loaded the |
sacks in the third with one out
but couldn't score.
The two teams square away to-
night in the second test of the
series with rookie Billy Guthrie,
a 19-year old Voss farm boy, due
to make his mound debut with
Manager Hayden Greer’s nine.
Pampa's Oilers held on to fourth
place by an eyelash and broke the
16-game win streak of Bill Jones,
the Trent southpaw with the La-
mesa Loboes, by nudging the Lo-
boes 5-4 at Lamesa.

Plans Ready
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
NEW YORK Aug 2 —— The
best rookie first baseman in the
Yankee organization, says one ob-
server who should know some-
thing about both the Yanks and
rookies is Newak’s Joe Collins
. . That's an interesting point
because George McQuinn Isn't
likely to have another season like
this one with the Yanks , Collins
was optioned out to Birmingham
and hit 366 Since rejoining the
Bears he's been batting above 356
ONE-MINUTE SPORTS PAGE
The U of Texas has just com-
pleted plans for a 66,000 capacity
stadium that will be second only
to the Sugar Bowl in the south
it's supposed to be ready for the
1948 football season , So many
Latin - American sightseers have
visited the Hialeah racetrack this
summer that signs now are posted
in Spanish and English
QUOTE, UNQUOTE
Two-sentence boxing lesson from
Barney Ross during the Lesnevick-
Mauriello fuss: "When you got a
guy hurt, you got to hit him in
the body That's when you go to
bring his hands down ”
From Alpine, Tex, a town of
4.000 population, comes the story
of a rancher who dreamed of hav-
ing a baseball park and made his
dream come true . Herbert Ko-
kernot, Jr who played some col-
lege ball, financed the 1,000 seat
stadium himself, saw that every
comfort and convenience was pro-
vided and then assembled a semi-
pro team that likely will wind up
in the National tourney at Wichita,
Kas Probably he’s just waiting
for someone to ask “Do you think
you own the park?"
Weatherman Favors
Northwest and East
NEW YORK, Aug. 2 ——The
Pacific coast states and the north-
eastern quarter of the nation were
favored today by the weather
bureau
They’ll be the only portions of
the country to avoid sweltering
heat tonight.
Although the thermometer
hovered in the upper 80s Friday
night and this morning in the
plains states, cool weather pre-
vailed throughout New England
and the Middle Atlantic states
A tropical storm neared the
coast of Texas.
