Braves Invest In Torgeson Payoff After Slow Start
Braves rookie first baseman Earl Torgeson from Seattle cost 100000 and has begun delivering after a poor start. Pirates trio Kir by Higbe Hank Behrman and Dixie Howell, part of a 200000 package from Brooklyn, have disappointed thus far. Hank Greenberg faces a possible two week loss to elbow injury and X rays show bone chips. The Braves beat the Pirates 3 2 when Torgeson homered in the eighth to break a 2 2 tie, moving Atlanta within one game of the NL lead behind the Dodgers. Cardinal rain delayed games but St Louis beat Brooklyn 2 1 on Terry Moore's seventh inning homer and Howie Pollet pitching. Athletics topped the Browns 6 1 in the AL night game, aided by Hank Majeski's homer and Dick Fowler's pitching.
