if necessary, and deliver"
Manager CrOnin Opined after
the contest. That's why 1 had
every faith that he would see
us through after the heat got
to Whitehill. But even with
RusselI's great rescue work.
Whitehill deserves a lot Of
credit for his earnest perform
ance during the early going
when he turned the Red SOx
back while we went out and
grabbed ourselves a big lead"
Whitehill'S appearance on the
peak was his fourteenth of the
season. BY pitching the first six
innings and by leaving the box
with a 5-to-1 lead, the veteran
was able to chalk up his thir-
teenth triumph of the campaign.
Russell, on the other hand, was
able to add one more laure! 10
his list as the Griff's second best
relief pitcher since the days of
Fred Marberry, who used to have
the uncanny faculty of stepping
in and saving a contest no matter
what situation ruled, what the
score was, etc.
Manager McManus, of the SoX,
pulled a Connie Mack at the
start of yesterdays game by send
ing Johnny Welch, a righthander,
TO the mound then shifting to
Lefty Lloyd Brown after the
former had pitched to one batter:
Buddy Myer, opening the Grill
first.
Strategy Failed
McManus did this to apparent
" keep Cronin from starting all
his righthanded batters for the
day, but the strategy failed as
Cronin had no idea making any
lineup changes other than keep
ing Fred Schultz out OF action
for an afternoons rest:
It was Ladies' Day and the gals
as usual, had a fine time cneer-
ing every pop-up, every thrown
ball every putout, every hit, eV-
cry argument. every, my goodness
what is this?
Buck Walters, the new Sox
third sacker, made a rifle throw
to retire Dave Harris in the sec.
ond. Messrs. Jack Malaney. OF
the Boston Evening Post, and
Dave Eagan. of the Boston Amer
lean, Immediately after the play
offered the interesting informa-
ton that Bob Seeds, Sox first
sacker has had to wear a sponge
under his glove since Walters
Joined the club. So you can see
this new guy "fires" 'em across
the diamond and we don't mean
maybe!
Heine Manush's liner to Jolley
in the third looked so much like
real hit that Luke Sewell ran
half way down the line to make
an easy score. But Jolley caught
the ball, much to everyone's sur
prise, and it was all JSewell could
do to scramble hack to third,
then scoro after the catch.
Earl Whitehill developed the
walk-itis in the sixth and by the
time the frame ended the Sox
scored one run. They might not
have scored that had not Cronin
uncorked an error on Pinch Hit
ter Alexander's grounder to short.
Walks Three
Earl walked Ferrell, Hodapp and
Seeds in this sixth, striking out
r. johnson and Jolley in between
the walks. With the bases full,
Dale Alexander was sent up to the
plate for Pitcher Paul Andrews.
He drove a dinky grounder to
Cronin, whose error followed when
his "force-out' throw to Myer at
second went hayWire. F'errell
scored on the play.
The gals and everybody else let
out mountainous roar when the
scoreboard boy put the result Of
the New York-Philadelphia game
in full view. The gals seemed to be
just as much interested in the
fact that the Yanks had been
shut out for the first time in two
years as the more dyed in the
wool fan following and knowing
his baseball from A to z.
When the Sox filled the bases
with nobody out in the eighth as
a result of Jolley's double and
singles by Seeds and Pinchhitter
Judge, Manager Cronin rushed
Fred Schultz and Sam Rice into
the game in the places Of Dave
Harris and Goose Goslin, respect
lively. He did this for defensive
measures, but the new outfielders
weren't really needed as Werber
hit into a double play and Walters
struck out. Jack Russell was the
