POWER PLAYS LIFT PHILLY OVER RED SOX

Phils = 11th of 12 in HRs; usually a doubles-and-triples kind of offense. Not last night, though. Davis, Neil, and Bassett all went long. Groundhog Thompson (10-5) got the win.

PHI (52-32) 5 7 1
BOS(36-48) 1 4 1

The Homestead Grays squad for which Frank "Groundhog" Thompson pitched in 1947 finished fourth in the standings that year.

Name the team that finished second in the NNL in '47 ... but won 4 more games than the pennant-winners, the New York Cubans.

One guess.

Re: yesterday's question: Cliff knew the Newark Eagles posted more wins than the Cubans, but came in second in '47 NNL.

Check out the huge disparities in total games played that year: 53 for Black Yankees, 88 for Eagles!

PHILLIES COME UP BIG IN 8TH, REGAIN FIRST-PLACE TIE

Red Sox' sloppy fielding gifted t3 unearned runs to Philly, and that was the difference. Piper Davis: 2 RBI. Buck Leonard: 2 RBI.

question:

With a .346 lifetime average, you'd think today's hero, Buck Leonard, would have a spot on the all-time BA leader board. Buck doesn't have the required plate appearances. Name the highest-ranking Black star who does...and tell me where he ranks.

When we were growing up, most of us had a flawed sense of the career major-league leaders in because we weren't counting all the major leagues in .

Now we are.

Time to acknowledge: beats everyone on this list, bar Ty Cobb.

PHILS TOP RED SOX IN EXTRAS

Two hard-luck pitchers (Watson 4-10, 3.47 for PHI; Barnhill 3-5 3.39 for BOSR) settled in for an old-fashioned extra-inning pitcher's duel--the best kind. Watson came away with the win.

The East-West All-Star Game was the contest of the year, usually held in Chicago. Debuted in 1933.

Somewhat less structured, and less profitable, was the North-South All-Star Game, which debuted in 1939.

What city was THAT held in?

SOX AVOID SWEEP, TOP PHILS

Boston took the fourth and final game of their Fenway series against Philly.

Ted Williams's 11th HR, a two-run shot, provided the winning margin ... and ended his 0-14 batting slump.

By the time Ted Williams faced Satchel Paige in a regular-season MLB game, Paige was 41 years old.

Ted's lifetime batting average: .344.

Song pick tomorrow goes to the first person to tell me, within 10 points, Teddy Ballgame's lifetime batting average against Satch.

BANKHEAD SHUTS DOWN NY; GIBSON LAUNCHES 33RD HR

Giants have the 2nd-most-productive offense in , behind only Brooklyn. You wouldn't have guessed that today, though: Dan Bankhead K'd 11 and held them to 2 hits. Josh Gibson went long.

NYG (43-41) 120

The other day, I asked you to name the year Pat Scantlebury made the East All-Star Team.

It was 1946; Cliff got it right, which means today's game is brought to you by Cliff and by .

Josh Gibson's .466 season average in 1943 is mind-blowing...but he doesn't hold the record for highest season batting average.
