the New York Yankees, the AS showed
they were playing no favorites when
they turned around and assisted tho
Boston to a higher percentage in the
won and lost column.
This after they finished second 70 ths
Red Sox hin the milkmen's ma atines
which Is another way of referring tc
the eye opener Of doubledecker.
The official figures were II to O.
which is wide enough margin for any
ball club to have in a game.
It didn't take long for the visitors to
cop the combat, although the first In
ming was scoreless. Roy Moore, how
ever, couldn't stand prosperity and al
lowed himself to be banged all over the
place until Connie mercifully dragged
him off the field in the midst of the
third.
Bryan Harris stuck around until the
seventh and then young Rommel wen,
in. This kids pitching was the one
and only bright spot of the p. m. He
allowed two hits, but no runs.
Gene Bailey, who was canned by the
Boston Braves recently. played right
field in place Of Harry Hooper, who il
on the side lines with bum leg. Gene
got four hits, which is not so bad.
Sam, Jones pitched the entire nine
innings for the Sox and looked like q
million dollars. In fact all pitchers
look that way against our club.
Bailey Starts Something
Gene Bailey started something in the
first inning, but for some reason or other
was unable to finish it. He banged a
single into left and hot footed to sec
ond, when Tilly Walker allowed the
pill to trickle through his legs. Gene
took third on McNally's out and was
in a swell place to score.
However. there was a big slip-up.
which again proves you never can tell
in baseball. MenOsky famed and
Schang grounded out, leaving Bailey
high and dry on third. This was such a
surprise that forty or fifty people ap-
plauded when the side was retired.
The AS went out in order in their
half Of the first. 1t couldn't have been
otherwise.
The Red Sox stepped into the lead or
something like that in the second round
when n pair of singles and long sacri-
flee fly sent Foster over the platter
with the first marker. Jones and Bailey
followed with a couple of bingles and
Scott scored. That made it to 0, in
favor of Boston.
Everything looked lovely for the home
town boys in the other part of this
act, but as usual, the punch in the
pinch was lacking. Jimmy Dykes
socked a double as an eye opener and
took third on Strunk's out. That
brought Burrus up and Richard bounced
such n nice gentle grounder to Nc
Nally that Dykes was out at the plate
by city block. Perkins inserted a
single, but it was wasted as Galloway
rolled out to Scott.
Moore Gets Wild
Roy Moore became trihe wild in the
third and got himself into a lot of trou-
BILE. Menosky walked, SChang singled
and McInnis strolled, crOwding the
cushions. Foster hit to Burrus and
Menosky was out at the plate. But
Everett Scott, who always hits well in
this park, pushed n double into left,
which scored Schang and Stuify.
Moore was wobby when Walters
faced him, so Connie mercifully took
him out and Bryan Harris took up the
hurling burden The lanky finger re-
tired the side without further damage.
After the AS batted in the third there
was no noticeable change in the score.
Bailey was in n batting mood for in
the next frame he opened with n double
and scored on sacrifice and Menosky's
hit. This was his third consecutive hit
of the afternoon.
In the fifth, the Sox increased their
lead without much difficulty. Harris
keep the ball away from their
bats, so tho visitors hammered out six
runs on as many hits. Bingles flew all
over the place, Boston runners toured
the bases and after ne-half dozen
round trips, they called it day.
Our AS gave perfect imitation of
Phil Haggerty's Nativity team playing
a twilight contest at 80 p. m.
