By KEN JOHNSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, July 16--(CP)--Whether or not baseball is the most colorful of sports, the United States national game never lacks colorful characters or men to weave tales about them. One of the latest to enjoy this common summer and winter past- time is George (Belleville Intelli- gencer) Carver. Carver picks on George Mogridge, former star Washington Senators, New York Yankees and Minor | League hurler of three decades ago. In these days of big salaried base- ball players, both professional and "amateur" Mogridge's meagre $600 doesn't sound like very much. Carver says, about Mogridge: "He will tell . . . of the game in which he walked seven men. The only thing that saved his job was the fact that he picked five of 'em off first base." Managers must have been rough in those days. Mogridge, now in his 50's, is build- ing a summer cottage in the Wau- poos district of Prince Edward County.

The party of 260 athletes and 44 Coachés and Managers had been to sea only a few hours when a six-inch gash was discovered in the top structure of California's eight- oared shell. This is the sleek, 60-foot boat in which the Californians hoped to gain a championship which the United States has always won in the Olympics, The oarsmen said the shell must have been damaged in the trip from ihe Princeton, N.J.,, Olympic try- outs.

Hamlin, who celebrated his 42nd birthday July 3, pitched the Leafs to a 6-2 triumph over the slugging Buffalo Bisons Thursday night to enable Toronto to move into a third-place tie with the Bisons. The right-hander scattered eight Bison hits in posting his third straight triumph and 274th of his long career. Buffalo nicked Hamlin for both of its runs in the fourth on two singles and an error but the Leafs came back in their half and scored five times to sew it up on six straight hits. Newark took over second place from the Bisons, beating Syracuse Chiefs 4-1 behind the six hit pitch- ing of lefty Dick Houtz. Rookie Hank Workman of the Bears slug- ged a two-run homer, his third cir- cuit drive in two games. : Montreal Royals remained 10% games ahead of the field by taking a 8-7 10-inning decision from Ro- chested Red Wings. Jim Blood- worth singled home Al Gionfriddo withm the wi g run. First sac- ker Chuck Connors sent the game into overtime by whacking his 10th homer of the year in the ninth inn- ing. Earlier, Gionfriddo socked his 21st round-tripper with two on for the Royals and Duke Snider banged his 13th with one aboard in the fifth for the Victors.

Big League Baseball Yesterday By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer It's Bill Veeck's turn to laugh now. Old Satchel Paige has contri- buted an important victory to Cleveland Indians' pennant drive. When Veeck, Cleveland President, signed the ageless Negro pitcher to his first major league contract Ju- ly 7, some observers said it was just another of Veeck's stunts to keep the turnstiles humming. Paige shuffled out of the bullpen in Philadelphia's Shibe Park Thurs- day night in the second game of a twilight-night doubleheader against the second-place Athletics and gained. credit for an 8-5 Cleveland victory. The triumph enabled the Indians, who won the first game 6-1 behind' the four-hit pitching of Steve Gronek, to increase their = first place margin over the Athletics to 2% games. "Satch" relieved starter Bob Le- mon in the sixth inning and snuf- fed out a Philadelphia rally that brought the A's within a run of a tie The Indians scored once in the seventh to take a 5-3 lead but the A's came back and tied it up when Hank Majeski cuffed one of Paige's Giants for a two-run homer but af- ter that Paige applied the brakes. Ken Keltner quickly put Cleve- land ahead again by hammering his 21st homer of the year in the eighth inning and Larry Doby clinched the decision for the gunning Paige by banging a two-run four-master in the ninth. Phil Marchildon of Penetanguishene, Ont. and Dick Fowler of Toronto were the losers. The twin setbacks cut the A's margin over the third-place New York Yankees to one percentage point as the world champions beat St. Louis Browns 4-2 in a night tilt at New York. Frank Hiller outpitched the Brownies' Fred Sanford, allowing seven hits to gain his third tri- umph. The up-and-coming Boston Red Sox took a day-night doublehead- er from Detroit Tigers 13-5 and 3-2 at Boston. Jack Kramer coast- ed to his eighth straight victory in the day affair. In the night game, Lefty Mel Parnell won his own game when he drove in the winning runs with a double. At Washington, Rae Scarborough hurled the Senators to a 4-2 seven- hit conquest over the last-place Chicago White Sox. Boston Braves pulled six games ahead of the runner-up Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League's pennant race, beating and tying Chicago Cubs 2-1 and 1-1 while the Pirates split with New York Giants. The second game was called at the end of 13 innings because of YHark- ness. Rookie shortstop Alvin Dark of the Braves went hitless in the first game to end his consecutive game hitting streak at 23. The Pirates clipped the Giants 4-3 in the first game. Ralph Kiner blasted his 24th round-tripper for the Pirates to tie Cincinnati's Hank Sauer for the major league home run leadership. Ray Poat hurled the Giants to a 10-3 triumph in the second game, scattering eight hits to gain his ninth victory, Brooklyn Dodgers moved into a fourth-place tie with the Giants, beating the Reds 5-3 as young Rex Barney checked the Reds on five blows. In_ another night game at St. Louis, Dutch Leonard hurled Phila- delphia Phillies to a 3-1 victory ov- er Harry Brecheen and the Cardi- nals. Del Ennis broke up the game, belting a two-run homer in the sixth inning. -- en THURSDAY'S STARS ' Batting Ken Keltner, Indians--doubled and drove in two runs in first game and hit a tle-breaking home run, his 21st of the year, in second gene as Cleve- land won two from Philadelphia.
