By JIDSON BAILEY
Associated Press SporU Writer
The test of a champion is •win-
ning when the chips are down.'
The Brooklyn Dodgers loaded up
with Joe Medwick in lelt tield Fri-
day and passed their examination
magna cum laude shutting out the
reigning Cincinnati Reds 2-0 and
taking a full game lead in the Na-
tional-League's i ace Luke Hamlin
pitched two-hit ball.
The margin of victory wasn't over-
whelming and the clubs will have
to do a lot more skirmishing to es-
tablish any real superiority. Ot the
nine games they nave played to-
gether. the Dodgers have won five
But the fact remains that Brook-
lyn Friday was a much strongei
team than before Medwick donned a
Dodger monkey-suit He got only
one hit in lour chances but this
was a single with two men on base
in the third inning and it drove in
one of thft two runs. In addition
Medwick covered lelt field lute a
tarpaulin making six putouts and
Inspiring the Dodgers to surpass
themselves.

The fracas was the first of a
four-game series at F.bbets Field
Brooklvn and drew a crowd of 27.-

i mately 35ooo. ^
While the Reds and Dodgers were
trying to straighten out the Na-
tional League tangle the leaders in
the American League took one step
forward in unison The Boston Red

happv or not. by crushing the Phil-
adelphia Athletics 8-0 on the two-
hit hurling of Johnny Allen Allen
| came within five outs of a no-hit
game losing it on a single by Sam
Chapman in the eighth. • j
Hal Newhouser rationed the Wash-
ington Senators on five safeties as
the Detroit Tigers slammed out a
10-1 victory on 13 hits and the New
York Yankees exploded a learsome
17-hit barrage against the St. Louis
Brow ns to win 12-3 In a night game
Tins decision followed close on the
Yanks’ four-straight conquest of the
Browns in the east. Charley Kellei
had a perfect night at bat. hitting
two home runs a triple and a sing-
le.
Cards Beat Phillies
The Biowns also announced they
had obtained permission to play 14
night game at home this season in-
stead of ti e seven to which othei
clubs In both major leagues are
limited. W’hether this was the first
step toward a general letdown of
the mtrtettcw on night ball trill
be known when the National Lea-
gue meets next month. Sam Brea-
don ls expected to ask the same
privilege for the Cardinals.
The Cards handled for the first
time by their new manager. Bilt>
Southworth made a triumphal bow
in the east by beating the Philadel-
phia Phillies. 6-2. Bob Bowman
went the route as evidence of the
new system although he gave up
ten hits.
Seven in Kn«
The New York Giants chalked up
their seventh consecutive victoav
and kept their finger in the senior
circuit's pennant palaver by out-!
scoring the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-6
The Boston Bees downed the Chi-
cago Cubs for the first time this
year 4-2. on the four-hit hurling of
Dick Errickson. It was the fourth

Those ere fine fishing davs. Oli-

Dave Young Jr. was out to the
Olmito re*aca fishing Tor bass.
The lake is getting mighty low
and bass aren’t striking much. This
is just a little hint to inform the
bovs w ho ve been fishing out at
Lake Olmito that they re going to
have to kirk in a little money to
get the old lake fixed up.
According to present plans there
will be a showing at the high

There will be a lot of fine movie

During the past few days we
have done a little commuting down

YANKS MISSED
BOAT IN CASE
OF PORTSIDER
Cardinals Own Pollet
Ace Buff Hurler
The New York Yankees Just
“mined the boat” in the case of
Howard Pollet sensational young
portsider of the Houston Bulls.
Shortly after he had signed with
the St. Louis Cardinal organiza-
tion. a better offer rime from
the Yankees. “It had b**n delayed
in the mails" says the New Orleans
boy who has made good in a jiffy.
The young man has shown no
dissatisfaction over hie lot in the
Catdir.al system. He's too busy
making a pitching record for that.
But it is not difficult to appreciate
what a ' better offer” would have
meant to a bov not 18 years old.
He probably would have taken it.
Here's III* Record
Two years ago Pollet was a
gangly kid pitching Legion ball in
| New Orleans and tolling between
times in a local amateur loop In
the legion ranks he won ten
games lost none and came up with
one tie. In the opening game of
the Southesatern sectional finals
he turned in a 3 to 2 victory over
Gastonia N. C . allowing live hits
and fanning 14
In all he hurled 102 Innings
allowed 10 runs and 49 hits fanned
137 and walked only 37.
Fanned 20 In Row
Low hit games were the order for
him. and he had one no-hitter in
which he struck out 20 opponents
including the la>>t s>x In t row. In
seven of the nine innings he re-
ined the side in order.
feigned by the Carduial organiza-
tion he went to New Iberia of the
Fl1. angeline league for his profes-
sional baptist in 1939. There he
won 14 and lost five for a fourth-
place club and ran up a total of
212 strikeouts.
There is no need to recount his
fats since graduating to the
Texas league this year. He wont
be 19 until June 26 and perhaps
no kid ever broke into the “ircuit
with such a blare as he did. The
Buffs can be thankful there was
a hitch in Uncle Sam s mail service
which delayed that “better offer"
from the New York Yankees.
