VI LIB 04CAOGy e4O4U0AOo'
In the ninth inning with two
out and the Red Sox leading, 4
to /, Bucky Harris sent up EStalella
to bat in place Of Buck NewSom.
Bobby Clipped the concrete in the
remote corner Of right field for
a three-base hit that started a
two-run rally.
The smiling cane cutter stood
on the bag and looked proudly
at the bench. Earl McNeeley said
in the coaching box:
GOOD boy, Bobby"
Isl, sen0r," replied Estalella,
Every good for me. Maybe we
score"
Hill singled and Lewis tripled.
With Myer at bat it looked all
right, but the batting champion
fouled out and the game was over.
Buck Ends Streak
Buck Newsom came to the end
Of two game winning streak, and
it took a double by Fritz OSter-
mueller to beat him. The blow off
came In the fifth after Werber
singled and Rick Terrell walked.
Ostermueller dropped a shot in
left, close to the foul line and
drove in two runs. Two othLSs
scored, one on a triple by Cramel
in the second inning.
Newsom had all the stuff that
any pitcher ever needed, but there
are those days when a man just
cannot win. It was one of those
afternoons for Newsom.
Jess Hill came out Of his slump
in fine style, getting three hits.
Maybe he heard something about
Miles being ready. Whatever the
cause, the results were tonic.
Opposing teams are not going
to run much on the Boston Red
Sox this season, which is another
potent reason why the platinum
boys loom large in all pennant
reckonings. The Red Sox will
need pitching and they will have
to coordinate their heavy hitting
with sharp defense. But even
when the pitching is not as keen
as it should be, those super-siege
guns in the outer patrols will keep
down enemy scoring.
Roger Cramer, centerfielder
made two throws from dead cen.
terrified to the infield during the
series with the Griffs. Melo Al
mada went to the rightfield fence
and still held the fleet jake
Powell riveted to second. Powell
had doubled to start an inning
and both Travis and Reynolds
flied deep into the outfield.
Word Passed Around
Against any other outfield in
the country Powell would have
scored. But against these boys
he never had a chance to stray
off second base.
These throws will not endure In
the records Of the season. They
may be forgotten by the fans. but
the word already has been passed
around the American League:
Don't try to run against Boston"
Baseball men are comparing
these young Boston players TO
'Shoeless" Joe jackson and
Happy Felseh. These expatri.
ates ranked with the greatest Of
all time in their days Of honest
effort in baseball. Both could
cut yards off a hit by seemingly
reckless charging the ball, and
their accurate throwing made base
runners wary Of venturing too far
from safety.
mediocre pitchers look better on
their bad days. All Of these ele-
ments enter into the rating OF pen
nant contenders, and they make
Boston Just a little stronger than
the blank figures otherwise tndi'
cate.
Yankees Miss Di Maggie
The Yankees are eager for Joe
d Maggie to return to duty. The
young Italian is still limping on
his injured foot. He has been on
sick call now for q month, and
may not be fit to return to duty
for another week. The Yankees
miss d Maggie at the bat, but
they also miss him In the field.
He is another Of the super throw
erS Of the outer patrols. They say
he has a better arm than Bob
MeuSel had.
Buddy Myer singled to left in
the opening frame Of yesterdays
game in Boston which the Red Sox
won, 4-3. His drive just cleared
the foul line and then rolled
against the pavilion fence. Heinie
Manush was up fast to field the
hall. Buck NewSom set down the
smuggling Red Sox with six hits
while his mates got IL SafetieS.
Melo Armada believes in taking
nothing for granted in baseball
He fairly flew down the lines on
q grounder to Buddy Myer.
Roger Cramer gave Carl Rey'
noldS = run when he slashed q
triple 10 right field in the opening
frame. Cramer scored on a fly to
left by ManuSh.
