Beaumont Blanks
San Antonio, 7-0
By UNITED PRESS
Howard Anderson, one of three
players Dallas traded to Beaumont
in exchange for sluggers Buzz
Clarkson and Les Fleming, has ap-
parently found the form that won
him 13 games last season on the
Dallas team that won the pennant
and Dixie Series.
Anderson, a sore - armed right-
hander with the Ealges most of the
season, stopped the league - lead-
ing San Antonio Missions on four
hits Tuesday night as Beaumont
blanked the Padres, 7 to 0.
He retired the last 18 batters to
face him in order after the Mis-
sions threatened by loading the
bases in the third inning.
A Pitchers Night
Tuesday night was a night of
fine pitching and Red Murff of
Dallas and Willard Schmidt of
Houston turned in good perform-
ances, although Schmidt was beat-
en. The Shreveport Sports got but
three hits off Schmidt in 12 innings
but the last one was Jim Acker-
et's single that drove in Joe Koppe
from second with the winning run.
2 to 1.
Murff, who nearly always wins
if he gets the least bit of help,
limited Tulsa to four hits as Dal-
las took an 8 to 1 victory In the
fourth game, Oklahoma City
downed Fort Worth, 5 to 2.
Beaumont catcher Jim Fanning
drove in two runs with a double
in the first inning and knocked in
two more with a double in the
ninth. He had a single in addition
to getting one-third of Beaumont's
hits off Vachel Perkins and relief-
ers Mel Held and Bob Harrison.
The defeat cut Sail Antonio's
lead to one game over Shreveport.
Threshold of No-Hitter
Schmit stood on the threshold of
a no-hitter at Shreveport. Houston
had taken a 1 to 0 lead in the first
of the ninth inning when Howie
Phillips stole home. But, in the
last of the ninth. Ev Joyner got
the first hit off Schmidt and bat-
ted across the tying run. Aekeret's
single three innings later dealt
! Schmidt the crushing blow. It was
only his second loss against 10
j wins.
Dallas won the game for Murff
' with a five-run sixth inning, high-
lighted by catcher Babe Martin's
three-run double. The rally chased
starter Murph Murszewski and two
Tulsa pitchers followed him to the >
On": ;ii. oi Uklahcma City's five |

ager Ai Vincent, Danny Ozark and

pire during an eighth inning rhu-

ing Borger, 4 to 3.
The Gold Sox's win, coupled j

a home run in the seventh inning
that provided the winning margin. :
Abilene's Max Newcom and j

ed good ball—the Blue Sox getting ;
eight hits to six for the Ponies.
It was Davis' 11th win.
Pampa got 12 hits off two Lub-

Cards Sign Teeuws
Chicago, June 30—UP—Len Tee-
uws. offensive tackle for the Los
Angeles Rams last season and one
of three players obtained in a five-
player deal, has signed his 1954 con-
tract with the Chicago Cardinals,
the club announced Wednesday.
Teeuws, an Ail-American at Tu-
lane, has played two seasons in the
National Professional Foolball
League.
Not one case of typhod fever
has been traced to a public water
supply in Michigan since 1934.
By UNITED PRESS
A bit of unexpected kindness to
an umpire — by Leo Durocher of
all people — paid off Wednesday
in a much more comfortable two-
game lead for the red-hot New
York Giants.
Durocher's charitable side to-
ward the men in blue was shown
Tuesday night in the 13th inning, a
frame in which the Giants rallied
for two runs to beat Brooklyn, 4 to
3.
Here was the setting:
The Dodgers led 3 to 2 as a re-
sult of Don Hoak's homer in the
top of the 13th. the Giants had the
bases full with two out and pinch
hitter Jim iDusty) Rhodes was
giving plate umpire Frank Seeory
what - for because of a second
strike he had called against him.
Whispered Consultation
Durocher was out of the Giant
dugout like a shot. Now. thought
the frenzied crowd of 51,464, watch
Durocher eat Secory up alive!
But instead of heading for Sec-
ory, Durocher called Rhodes over
for a whispered consultation.
Rhodes, who also thought Duro-
cher was going to help him
I straighten out Secory, was a little
let down, to say the least, when
I Leo, an umpire hater from way
j back, did no such thing.
I "Lissen," Durocher whispered
! into Dusty's good ear, "I didn't
see where the first ball was, and
maybe the second one was inside,
but you have your head in the
ground and you're not looking at
where the pitch is."
"But," Rhodes protested, "both
of em were inside, the umpire was
dead wrong ..."
Reese, Snider Sidelined
"Look, wil! you forget the um-
pire? He's got his own troubles.
Never mind him, will ya. Now be
ready for that next pitch?"
Billy Loes' next pitch was a let-
! up in the dirt that Rhodes almost
went lor but didn't. Secory called
I it a bail.
Then Loes served up a fast ball
j which Rhodes pounced on like a
j starved wolfhound does on a bone
j and smashed it into center field for
j a two-run single. The blow turned
| the Polo Grounds into a roaring
J madhouse and gave the Giants
j their fifth victory in a row.
I In the clubhouse, there was
more bad news for the Dodgers,
who dropped their first decision in
the last six games. Dur. Eugene
| Zorn, the club physician, said that
Pee Wee Reese, who pulled a mus-
cle in his leit leg will be sidelined
for three days. Billy Cox will
j play shortstop in his place
I Duke Snidur, hit by one of win-
| ning pitcher Marv Grissom's toss-
i es on the elbow, admitted he would
j not be able to swing a bat Wednes-
day
Yankees Down Red Sox
Elsewhere in the National
j League, Jim Wilson of Milwaukee
pitched a five hitter to hand Chi-
cago its lltli successive beating, 7
! to 0; Howie Judson's hitless relief
pitching over the last 4 2-3 innings
' plus Gus Bell's homer, helped Cin-
