ONE-MAN CLUB—Billy Goodman, back at first base, has done everything for the Red Sox, but pitch
and catch, volunteered to do the latter. When TedWilliams returned to the Boston Americans' lineup
£last mid-September, Third Baseman Johnny Pesky, hitting .313, suggested that he be benched to make
*room for Goodman. That enabled the slightly-built Concord, N.C., youngster to get in 110 games, and
officially lead the American League in batting with .354. (NEA)
Bob Feller Alter 20th
Victory Against Chisox
ST. LOUIS. Auk. 17 (UP) —
\j|>bby Feller wil! try to put the
derailed Cleveland Indians'
"Pennant Express" back on the
track; today and, at the same
time, make himself the first 20-
game winner for the 1951 season.
The Tribe's righ-handed ace,
once dubbed "Rapid Robert" but
known as, "Brainey Bob" since
his speed deserted him, drew the
assignment from Manager A1
Lope?, in "the opening game of
today's doubleheader against the
ophite Sox in Chicago.
Lope:-, made the selection as
the dust was clearing away from
the Indians' 4 to 0 defeat at the
hands of the St. Louis Browns
(of all people) yesterday, which
smashed the Indians' winning
streak at 13 games.
Rookie Bob Chakales, a three-
game winner, was to go for the
Tribe in tht other game with
Randy Gumpert and Billy Pierce
their likely Chicago opponent.
(>t!i "20-Keason"
If Feller can whip the White
Sox, he will naii down the sixth
20-game season of his spectacular
career. And, in many ways, it
will be the sweetest triumph he
ever has scored, for it will give
the final razzberry to those many
critics who colled him "washed
all the other major-league hur-
lers.
Closest to him is Sal Maglie
of the Giants, who won his 17th
game yesterday. After Sal come
six pitchers with 16 wins — Vic
Raschi and Ed Lopat of the Yan-
kees, Don Newcombe of the Dod-
gers, Robin Roberts of the Phil-
lies, Murry Dickson of the Pi-
rates and Mike Garcia of the In-
dians. Feller's likely to have plen-
ty of company before the season's
over in that exclusive '20-club"
but he can become the charter
member today.
It was Garcia, the "Big Bear"
of the Tribe staff, who was beat-
en in, his bid for his 17th win
yesterday 4 to 0 by the suddenly
dangerous Brownies.
Meanwhile, the Indians were
held in check by a pair of ex-
Yanket hurlers, Tommy Byrne
and Duane Pillette thus helping
their old mates, who defeated
the Senators, 5-3, to move within
1%> games of first place.

Colts Set
Gate Mark
The Longhorn League's at-
tendance record was broken last
night by San Angelc, the same
club that set the mark in 1950.
A turnout of 2,225 fans at
last night's Colt-Vernon dou-
ble-header at San Angeio ran
the home town club's attend-
ance to 98,039 for the 1951 sea-
son by 260.
The Colts have nine more
home games this season in
which to further surpass (heir
1950 attendance mark.
San Angeio didn't let the
home town fans down last night
as they battered the Vernon
Dusters twice, 1 to 0, and 13 to
t. Clarence Tinkler bested Aud-
ie Malone in opener, while In-
iio Belt ran racked up his 16th
victory for the Colts in the
nightcap against Vernon pitch-
ers Russell, Dial and Matney.
The first game required an
sxtra inning, with Don Pets-
chow's home run deciding the is-
sue in the bottom of the eight.
He received $93 fcr the big
smash.
It was the 11th and 12th
straight victories for the Colts.
Franks Gets 27th
In other Longhorn League
games last night:
Dean Franks of Roswell an-
nexed his 27th victory as he
stopped the Odessa Oilers on
seven hits, 6 to 2.
(Previously it was reported
that Franks had won his 27th
game Sunday against Midland,
but the scorekeeper revealed lat-
er that Tom Sawyer should have
been credited with the victory).
Midland's ace pitcher. Eddie
Jacome, saved the day for Jim
Cain and the Indians when he
cut down an Artesia rally in the
ninth inning—with one out and
the bases loaded—to give Mid-
land a 4 to 3 victory.
Big Spring scored three runs
in the bottom of the eighth to
nip Sweetwater, 6 to 5.

Tito Thinks This
Year Danger Point
WASHINGTON (UP) — Mar-
shal Tito of Yugoslavia thinks
the danger of a world war with
Russia will be greatest in the
next 12 months and not in 1953
or 1954, Sen. Hlair Moody, D.,
Mich., said.
Moody, just back from a fly-
ing trip to Europe, said Tito
told him during a three-hour in-
terview that "by 1954 the West
will be so strqng that it will be
too late, and the Kremlin knows
it."
He-said Tito pledged him that
Yugoslavia will stand by the Uni-
ted States as long as this coun-
try seeks "freedom and peace"
and that the Yugoslavian dicta-
tor has 35 divisions to back up |
his pledge.

Official Barred
A) ST IN. Aug. 17 (UP)-The
Texas Interscnoiastic League
has barred basketball Referee
Johnny Morrow from officiating
in the state tournament for the
1952 season, a Til. spokesman
has revealed.
The league's state executive
committee held a hearing and
made the ruling July II, the
spokesman .said, but had not pub-
licly announced its action.
Waxshachie Coach Hal Curry
charged that Morrow struck him
and used abusive language when
he asked the offficial for clarifi-
cation of a ruling following a
game between Waxahachie and
Waco last January.
Mortow, immediate past presi-
dent of the Southwest Basketball
Officials Association, will be
barred only from officiating at
the' tournament, but a school
can "probab.-y employ him if
they want to . . . It's no business
of the state committee," the
spokesman said.
