idland Beats Spudders
10-5, For Series Sweep
By MURRAY FORSVALL
Sports Editor
Midland jumped off to a three-
run lead In the first inning and the
Sweetwater Spudders never caught
up as the Indians went on to a 10-5
victory at Sportsman Park Wed-
nesday night before a good Mer-
chants' Night crowd.
The Indians added to their run
against six losses while Bob Ab-
shire absorbed his tenth defeat in
pitching the distance for the Spud-
ders. Abshire has credit for only
one victory.
Ben Jones doubled to open the
game and Charles Terrasi singled
to send him to third. Joe Riney's
single plated Hull.
Atkinson was wild in the bottom
total in every inning but three of the first and loaded the bases
while the Spudders, although j with walks but after Joe Spencer
threatening all the way, could nev- brought in one tally with a single
er muster more than one run in an to left field the Spudders succum'j-
inning. It was the thirteenth ed meekly.

Ralph Atkinson gave up eleven
hits to win his twelfth triumph

crossed the plate in the sixth on
Riney's fourth hit—a triple to deep
right center with two outs.
A single run in the seventh and
two in the eighth capped the scor-
ing for the fourth-place Indians.
Jones scored all the way from sec-
ond on a wild pitch by Abshire for
one of the tallies in the eighth.
The Spudders pecked away for
solo runs in the fourth and each of
the last three innings. Ken Turner
was robbed of a home run in the
eighth when his long drive to left
struck a light wire and bounded
against the fence good for a con-
solation-prize double. He, however,
scored on the play when the throw
in from the outfield went into the
Spudder dugout.
The Spudders travel to Midland
for games Thursday and Friday
and go on to Big Spring for a
three-game series before return-
ing to Sportsman Park for the next
against Artesia on the 17th and
18th and Big Spring on the 19th
and 20th.

Houston's Arroyo
Pitches Mo-Hitler
To Beat Dallas, 3-0
By UNITED PRESS
The first no-hitter in the Texas
League in more than two years
went into the record books Thurs-
day and the credit belonged to a
27-year-old Houston southpaw, Luis
Arroyo.
Arroyo, a stocky 180-pounder
from Puerto Rico, fanned six bat-
ters and walked one in hurling a
sensational 3 to 0 win over Dallas.
Only two Eagle runners reached
base, Wiley Moore walking in the
fifth and Buzz Clarkson in the
ninth on shortstop Don Blasin-
game's error. Clarkson was bat-
ting for pitcher Jim Tugerson.
Johnny Van der Meer, of double-
no-hit fame for the Cincinnati Red-
legs, pitched the last Texas
League no-hitter against Beau-
mont July 15, 1952.
Two seven-inning no-hitters were
pitched last year — by Dallas'
Howard Anderson and San Anto-
nio's Ryne Duren — but no-hitters
j of less than nine innings do not go
into the official records.
Arroyo had to pitch a supreme
game to overshadow the finest
pitching duel in the league all sea-
son. Duren and Karl Spooner of
Fort Worth matched talent for 12
innings at Fort Worth before Cal
Felix's 12th inning three-run hom-
er, his 20th of the season, decided
it for the Cats 3 to 0.
Five big league scouts were in
the stands to watch the battle be-
tween Duren, last year's strikeout
leader, and Spooner, the leading
whiff artist this season. The scouts
saw them at their best. Duren fan-
1 ned 15 to give him a total of 192
I for the season and Spooner struck
out 14 to give him 214.
Compared to these two games,
the other pair of contests were
routine. Howie Boles' 24th homer

By UNITED PRESS
The Cincinnati Redlegs are
launching an all-out drive to fin-
ish in the first division for the
first time since 1944, and if they
do, the far reaching drives of Ted
Kluszewski are bound to be a dom-
inant factor.
Kluszewski, an amiable strap-
ping 230 - pounder dubbed "mus-
cles" by his teammates, blasted
his 30th and 31at homers amid a
barrage of five Cincinnati homers
that accounted for an 8 to 1 vic-
tory over Chicago Wednesday
night.
While everyone and his brother
is shooting for Babe Ruth's record,
the smooth-swinging, six-foot, two-
inch "Klu" is aiming in a vastly
different direction.
"Let 'em all go for Ruth's rec-
ord," he says, grinning. "I'm just
trying to better Kluszewski's rec-
ord. I hit 40 homers last year and
I'd like to top that if I could this
year."
By walloping his pair of homers
off loser Warren Hacker Wednes- j
day night, Kluszewski moved into
third place in the home run de- i
partment. Willie Mays of the, Gi- i
ants leads with 36 while ,4iank
Sauer of the Cubs and Eddie Math-
ews of the Braves are tied for
second with 32 each.
Dodgers Close Gap
The Dodgers rallied for two runs
in the sixth inning to nip the Phil-
lies 3 to 2 and cut the idle New
York Giants' lead to 3 1-2 games.
Billy Loes gave up both Philadel-
phia runs in the first inning on a
walk, two hits and a sacrifice fly
but held the losers to five hits
thereafter. Duke Snider shared the
hero's role with Loes. who gained
his seventh victory. Snider hit his
28th homer in the fourth inning,
then doubled on the heels of Pee
Wee Reese's two-bagger to tie the
score at 2-all in the sixth. Snider
came in with the winning run on
Gil Hodges' single.
Milwaukee moved within seven
games of the top by edging St.
Louis, 6 to 5. in a game called
because of rain with the Braves
at bat in the eighth inning. The
Braves scored the deciding run in
the seventh off Gerry Staley on
Danny O'Connell's double and Joe
Adcock's single. Mathews hit his
32nd homer during a four-run ral-
ly in the fifth.
