Red Sox Continue Drive

THE third-place Red Sox continued
their pursuit Of the leaders by
humbling the Pale Hose Of
Chicago, 16 to 3. as they opened with
a nine-run burst IN the FIRST inning.
Seven of the tallies resulted from
homers by Roy johnson and Bill
Cissell.
Jimmie Foxx clouted his twenty
eighth circuit swat in st. Louis to
tie his teammate, Bob johnson, for
the major league lead, but the Ath-
letics still couldn't beat the Browns,
going down, SO, before Bump Had

Cubs wound up in something Of an
anti-climax as New York won the
final game, 8 to 9, and increased It's
lead to three games, one more than
it held at the start Of the five-game
set. A six-run outburst in the third,
which included Mel Otis twenty
second homer with one aboard, settled
the game.

Unfortunately, the happy ending
has not yet been written over the
careers of Herman and Henry Perlick.
Real life is tougher than fiction. The
law, which makes no allowance for
sweetness and light. continues to
catch up with the boys from time to
time. Only the other day Herman
was hauled into a court of law for
using a slug in a subway station.

Most hearts would have been stirred
by this statement, but the judge was
not an Alger fan. He Socked Herman
with the usual alternative of a $40
fine or five days in the can, and Her
man had to anguish in confinement
till Henry arrived on the scene with
the life-giving sawbuck. There wasn't
a dry eye in court when Herman
finally stood at liberty and clenched
the hand of his rescuer with a not
unmanly emotion.

NT. LOUIS, July 19.-During the
- four-game series with the
Browns that was to get under
- way here today, Joe Cronin
may shuttle his batting order
to the extent of again taking over the
cleanup post and lowering the rookie
Cecil Travis to the fifth spot. it does
not seem that Travis measures up
to the important berth in the attack
ing front despite his impressive bat
ting average. =. lit may be mental with
the youngster. the responsibility at
tached to the position perhaps causes
Cecil to tighten. AS a fourth-place
batter he certainly does not swing
with the freedom he displays when
batting elsewhere in the order.
Back in May Manager Cronin tried
out Travis as cleanup hitter. Cecil
did not go at all. he Immediately
fell into slump and after four or
five games he was withdrawn from
the berth. this time Cecil has had
a try-out in four games. and he has
not looked good at all. he has been
swinging aimlessly and striking out
frequently. there is no doubt as to
Travis being a hitter. but not as a
fourth position batter.
