up nine runs in the flrst six innings
today. and then allowed the Red
Sox to overcome n seven-run lead
and beat them out by a 20 to .
score in a wild ten-inains battle.
When Erickson started to blow In
tho sixth he hai such a commanding
lead that GrifY didn't do much wor-
ryfng. The Sox scored four runs In
that inning and another IN the sew
enth before Olaf WIS Jerked. The
situation di1 not look serious even
then, for the enemy had only seven
runs and needed two more to tie.
With Snyder, Courtney and Schacht
warming up and with Jim Shaw as
an ace In the hole, II didn't seem
likely that the Sox would put over
the necessary tallies to win. But
as fast az one Of the aforementioned
members OF the relief squad was
sent in, they remained just Ions
enough TO add fuel to the flames.
Then they were jerked.

Snyder fIled the bases in the
eighth with none out and retired
IN favor OF Courtney. A sacrifice ny

innings and they did not allow q
run
Judge. Rice, Harris and Shannon
each claimed a trio of hits, but
Bobby Roth furnished the big
thrill when he drove the ball over
the left field fence in the third
with two on ahead of him. In the
first round Bobby had failed to get
under McInnis' fly and then booted
IL. Showing two to score while
Stufry ,raced to third. His circuit
drive smore than counterbalanced
that damaging inning.
Joe Judge retired from the con-
test in the last half of the tenth
