Smoke Rings Third Longest By SAM RAGAN Turning the wheel and taking two-bits worth of the red and we wonder if these lengthy ball games staged by the Dodgers and Boston are just coincidence. At any rate, Brooklyn has won the only game to be won in three of the longest games in baseball history. The Dodgers won 6-2 in 20 innings yesterday. Last year the two teams went 23 innings and called it quits with a 2-2 deadlock. Back in 1920 Boston and Brooklyn set a new record with the longest game in history—26 innings to „ -i i *■—— Fishing Record Lieut.-Col. George Gillette be lieves he has set a new fishing record for local waters in th« number landed. While holidaying Thursday, the Colonel, Jesse Jones and Douglas Gillette, pulled aboard 164 Spanish mackerel and six blues, not to mention about 100 black and pigfish, in a little over two hours of angling. The catch was made off New River inlet from Captain Mart Ful cher's boat. The Colonel had more fish than he could care for, so we were the recipient of as tasty a pair as we’ve ever encountered.

Third Longest Game I ' BOSTON, July 6.—UPI—It took the league-leading Brooklyn Dodg ers 20 innings to subdue the sev enth-place Boston Bees today by 6-2. In a five-hour and 19-minute struggle that ranks as one of the longest games in modern base ball, the durable Dodgers punched across four runs in the twentieth and then blanked the Bees in their half for victory in the longest game in either league this season. The two teams are not unac customed to playing over-time matches. Last year they went 23 innings to a 2-2 tie and in 1920 they set a major leagu9 record for the longest game by struggling through 26 innings to a 1-1 dead lock. The Dodgers, in winning their sixth straight game, polled 12 hits off four Boston pitchers, while five Dodger hurlers gave up 14 blows. Newall Kimball got credit for the win, while Joe Sullivan, who put the winning runs on base in the 20th before he was relieved, was charged with the defeat. Boston scored a run in the first Inning, but the Dodgers tied it in the sixth and then went ahead l}y 2-1 in their half of the ninth, only to have the Bees’ Philip Masi punch out a single to score Eddie Miller, with the tying run that same inn ing. Boston threatened often, but the Dodgers played brilliantly afield and cut off would-be rallies with three smartly executed double plays. In the twentieth, Walker singled to center and Jimmy Wasdell, who substituted for Ducky Medwick when the latter had his wrist in jured by a pitched ball, sacrificed, and when Joe Sullivan hit him in the back, Walker reached third and Wasdell second. Gus Mancuso, second of three Brooklyn catchers to see action, was purposely passed, filling the bases. Dolf Camilli was walked, forcing in Walker. Joe Gallagher, former Yankee, batted for Charley Gilbert and Leo Durocher decided to run for Man cuso. Dick Coffman then was called in to relieve Sullivan and Gallagher was safe on Eddie Miller’s fumble, Wasdell scoring. Pete Coscarart popped to shortstop and Kimball forced Durocher at the plate.’ Then Pee Wee Reese singled to center, scoring Camilli and Galla gher, and Cookie Lavagetto ended the inning by grounding out. In the Bees half, Masi and Cooney, batting for Coffman, both walked and Tex Carleton took over [he mound chores from Kimball and retired the side without fur BROOKLYN AB R H O A Keese, ss_ 9 12 5 6 Lavagetto, 3b _8 0 13 9 JValker, cf-rf-cf-9 12 6 0 Medwlck, If_ _ 3 0 1 5 n jVasdell, If-~ 1 1 0 1 0 Mancuso, c _ 1 0 0 2 1 lurocher, x-” 0 0 0 0 0 «-ooooo ~aml,!j, lh,- 8 2 1 22 1 ^osmik, rf-2 0 12 0 Gilbert ef- 4 0 0 2 0 isllagher, rf -110 0 0 .oscarart, 2b- 8 0 2 6 10 lamlin, p- 2 0 0 0 I -■asey p - 3 0 0 0 4 lamuhs, p - 0 0 0 0 0 Kimball, p- 1 0 0 0 0 -arleton, p- 0 0 0 0 0 Totals- 66 6 12 60 25 x—Ran for Mancuso in 20th.

Jimmy P"oxx hit his 20th homer of the year with none on in the third and Ted Williams walloped his 11th in the fifth with one on. Jake Karly hit a. belated round tripper for the Senators in the eighth. Washington got 12 hits off Jim Bagby. The Sox started early on young Walter Masterson, getting three runs in the second on Lou p'inney’s single, a walk, a wild pitch, and singles by Gene Desautels and Bagby. Foxx’s homer gave them a 4 to 0 elad in the third. Washington tallied in its third, however, as Buddy Lewis singled, moved to third on two infield outs and came home on Cecil Travis’ single to right. The fifth inning saw plenty of scoring with the Sox count ing four times and the Senators twice. Williams' homer over the right field wall brought in two, Finney's double another and Joe Cronin's single still another. Buddy Myer drove one of Washington’s in and Jimmy Pofahl's single pushed across the third. Willis Hudlin came to Masterson’s rescue in the fifth and went the rest of the way allowing only one run which came across in the seventh as Jim Tabor tripled and trotted home on Cronin’s second singles. Early's homer over the right field wall was the Senators’ last effort until the ninth when they got two snigles. George Case, Washington outfield er, who got 9 hits out of 10 trips to the bat in yesterday's double-header, singled on his first appearance today to make it seven consecutive safeties, but Bagby tamed him the rest of the way.

Neither Jim Turner nor old Dan ny Mac Fayden finished their start ing mound assignments, but the Deacon was charged with the loss, his second of the year. Joe Beggs was the winning pitcher, his fourth triumph of the season in a relief role. For eight innings, the Reds kept punching away, once, aided by one of two Pirate errors, loading the bases in the fourth. But until the ninth inning splurge, they left 10 men on base, and the game looked hopeless. Their only tally to that point was racked up on Ival Goodman’s sixth homer of the year which also scor ed Lonnie Frey, who had singled. The Pirates lost little time in forging to their long-held lead, Arky Vaughan’s infield single and successive doubles by Maurice Van Robays and Vince DiMaggio netting two in the second. A walk and two errors by Red Shortstop Eddie Joost netted an other in the fifth and in the next frame, Vaughan kissed a three-two ball into the right field bleachers for the circuit. In the ninth, with one away, Frey doubled for his third hit of the day. Goodman was saved by Vaughan’s fumble and Frank Mc Cormick singled to score the Red second baseman. Mace Brown replaced MacFay den. He forced Ernie Lombardi to line but Harry Craft singled to score Goodman with the tying run and another one-base clout by Mor rie Arnovich sent McCormick across the nlate.

The torrid Cape Fear first half pennant chase reaches the semi final stage tomorrow afternoon With the following games on sche dule: Pepsi Cola vs. Hi-Kappas at Sta dium, Singleton, and Jackson um pires. Leland vs R. C. Cola at Robert Strange, Peal and Griffith, ar biters. Jackson Bell vs A's at Hilton. Casteen and Watson calling. Masonboro vs Purol at Mason boro, Baker and Page officiating. Watch for another batch of close ones in tomorrow’s setup. As for picking the winners, it would be quite a task to do so correctly The Pepsis went 15 innings before slipping past the frat boys in their only meeting this year and Lefty Brew bested John Hendrix in a hectic 14 frame argument to en able the Bears to score their early season victory over the RC’s. We would rate both these battles among the big dogs as toss-up af fairs, with the team getting (and taking advantage of) the breaks emerging on the lond end of the count. In the other part of the pro gram, Jackson Beil may come through with its first win ot the season, but the odds favor the A’s. Purol should take the Ram blers by a slim margin. Last Sunday’s Stars Snag Allen, Pepsi Cola—Shaded Leland’s Lefty Brew in a great pitcher’s duel to give the PC’s a win over the Brunswick nine. Billy Pieper, Hi-Kappas—Batted in winning run and three others in Hi-Kappas conquest of the RC’s. Headon Piner, Purol—topped the JB’s Elmo Reese in Bluebirds tri umph over the Printers. Batton, Athletics—Garnered four for five against the Rambler’s pit ching ace, Johnnie Carter. Reynolds, JB—Shone on the de fense at second base for the Prin ters.
