Houtteman Carries Tiger Hopes on D-Day BY JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Today could be described as D-Day in the life and times of the turbulent Detroit Tigers. Another loss on top of yesterday's beating by the New York Yankees might mark the beginning of the end of Detroit's penchant dream. Also the outlook for the third and last of the three game set at Yankee stadium Thursday is far from bright. Then comes Boston. Red Rolfe is banking on his ace, Art Houtteman today. The young right-hander and veteran Dizzy Trout take all that's left of the once-mighty Tiger-pitching crew. Hal Newhouser and Fred Hutchinson have been in and out all year. Virgil Trucks and Ted Gray are laid up with sore arms. Hal White was pounded black and blue yesterday and Trout worked the day before. So everything is up to Houtteman. Houtteman (16-9) has beaten the Yanks four times in six outings. Veteran Vic Raschi (15-8), his opponent, owns a 1-2-season record against the Tigers. It was a disastrous day all round for the Tigers as the Indians and Red Sox also won. The tribe whipped Washington 5-1 to cut South L.A., Mandemaker Advance on One-Hitters South Los Angeles became the first team to reach semifinals of the Anaheim Legion tournament when it ed out a 2-0 victory over Santa Monica last night at La park. In the opening game, Mandemaker's beat Woodroxson 4-1 to complete the third round of play. Both victories came as the result of brilliant mound jobs, the winning pitchers turning in one-hitters in each contest. But the South Los Angeles win stood out as the more significant as the coach of that team reached into center field for a hurler who hadn't thrown to a batter for three years—and he got away with it. As a result, South L.A. will have its ace—Don Green—ready for the semi-final contest on Saturday, when it meets either Mandemaker or Crenshaw. Green pitched the opening inning last night, but a stiff arm forced him to retire at the end of that frame. He had just hurled 11 innings on Sunday in the 2-1 win over Calver City. Centerfield John Stevenson, who last pitched in a playground game in 1948, then came on to stifle the Santa Monicans. John Walsh's solid smash past first in the sixth inning was the only hit as Stevenson fanned nine. Stevenson also knocked in the winning run with a line single to left in the first inning to score David City.

Veteran Vic Raschi (15-8), his opponent, owns a 1-2 season record against the Tiger. It was a disastrous day all round for the Tigers as the Indians and Red Sox also won. The tribe whipped Washington, 5-1, to cut Detroit's margin to three and a half. The Red Sox walloped St. Louis's Browns, 9-3, to climb to within five and a half games of the top. Philadelphia's furious Phillies retained their five and a half game margin at the National league, edging the reds in Cincinnati, 4-3. Brooklyn's Dodgers outslugged the Pirates in Pittsburgh, 10-3, and Boston's Braves took third place from the Cardinals with a 5-1 triumph in St. Louis. The New York Giants made it 16 wins in 19 games with the Cubs, winning in Chicago, 6-5, in the National's only afternoon contest. Philadelphia and Chicago in the American league were idled by rain. Padres Continue Upward PCL Surge By The Associated Press Look out for San Diego coming up on the outside. That's the cry from the railbirds who only two weeks ago were touting Oakland as a snookin' in the Pacific Coast league derby. Del Baker's red-hot Padres narrowed the Oak's margin to 4½ games by edging Sacramento, 5-4 last night as the leaders bowed to Los Angeles, 4-2. It was San Diego's 14th win in 15 games. Two weeks ago the border boys were 10½ games behind. Elsewhere Hollywood skinned past San Francisco, 4-3, and Seattle at Portland was rained out. The Padres had to bustle to beat the tailend Solons, and didn't manage it until the ninth. Then singles by Al Smith and Orestes Minoso and Jack Graham's fly gave relief Al Jurisich the win. Biggest blow—however, was struck by Harry Simpson, who, nursing a chest injury, came off the bench to pinch-hit a triple, driving in two runs in the Padres' three-run spurge in the sixth. Centerfield John Stevenson, who last pitched in a playground game in 1948, then came on to stifle the Santa Monicans. John Walsh's solid smash past first in the sixth innning was the only hit as Stevenson fanned nine. Stevenson also knocked in the winning run with a line single to left in the first innning to score Boyd Mauer. Wilson spoiled Bob Bennett's no-hitter in the six-inning opener when clean-up hitter Manual Gonzales singled to right. The run however had come in the third innning when Bennett weakened and walked four batters to force in the tally. Neither of the losing pitchers were exactly disgraced, though. Mandemaker collected only four hits in the opener, and South Los Angeles won on a pair! Two more teams will join South Los-Angeles in the semis tonight—El Monte faces Lumberdogs at 7 and American—Latin meets Santa Barbara at 9.

Rhoden, Fuchs Set World Marks ESKILSTUNA, Sweden, (AP) — George Rhodes of Morgan State and Jim Fuchs of Yale bettered world records in a track meet last night. Rhoden ran the 400 meters in 45.8 seconds, one-tenth second below Herb McKenley's mark. Fuchs tossed the shot 58 feet 10 23/32 inches, well beyond the record of 58 feet 1 inch held by Charles Fonseville of Michigan. BASEBALL STANDINGS Pacific Coast League W I.

Ray Dinkler Lands Marlin It was like father, like son—well, almost — when Raymond Dinkler landed a marlin yesterday on the Ikes weekly fishing trip. Dinkler's father had landed a marlin on one of the outings a few weeks ago. But while it took the elder Dinkler only 19 minutes to land his son Raymond struggled and fought for an hour and 24 minutes before the landing was finally made. Albacore, the principal prey of the Ikes, were pretty scarce. The 15 anglers had several hookups, but only two were landed. Dick Martin and Sam Christianson were the albacore nabbers and they split the weekly jackpot. Rams, Cardinals Seek First Win LOS ANGELES (UP)—Personal rivalry dominates the scene tonight when the Chicago Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams collide in a National Football League exhibition in Memorial Coliseum. Rams, Cardinals Seek First Win LOS ANGELES (P)—Personal rivalry dominates the scene tonight when the Chicago Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams collide in a National Football League exhibition in Memorial Coliseum. The Cards have four ex-Rams anxious to humble their former teammates and the Ram's quarterback, Bob Waterfield, will renew a year-old fued with his former understudy, Jim Hardy of Chicago. Hardy, fullback Gerry Cowhig, and ends Bob Shaw and Tom Keane are the former Los Angeles performers. Exhibition or not, both teams are determined to break into the win column in the brand new exhibition campaign. The Cardinals have dropped two games and a week ago the Rams made their debut in defeat, 17-14. Buena Park Falls In Jungle Ball Although five pitchers allowed only that many hits, Buena Park Lynx found jungle ball too baffling for them as they fell before the Honolulu All-Stars 9-4. Neither the Lynx pitchers nor batters were able to master the overhand delivery of the ball. The batters collected only two hits; the pitchers walked several batters and hit many others. To even things up, the two teams, who meet again tonight at 8 at Fullerton, will change batteries—that is, the Honolulu pair will work for the Lynx, while the All-Stars get the dubious benefit of the Lynx twosome. All-Stars: 207 000-0-9 5 4 Lynx: 020 200-0-4 2 4 Toma, Gettle and Peters; Babashoss, Whitney, Alsup, Everett, Meisen and Mulkey, Whitney. announcing the AND OPENING of RTFIELD'S Television & Home RTFIELD'S Television & Home Appliance Dept. 8 West CENTER ST. - Anaheim FREE!!
