YAWKEY MAYYET BUY A PENNANT AS STARS CLICK
Red SOx on Top Thanks to Grove, Foxx; Tigers,
 Bees Sixth
By HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 16.-UP)-When the 1888 baseball season opened they said the Boston Red Sox had no hustle-that they were just a bunch of high-priced ball players going through the motions.
 But today these same Red Sox, on whom Owner Tom Yawkey has spent upwards of $4,000,000 trying to win pennant, were out in front of the merry American league race by a game and a half. And every one wondered whether Yawkey at last may see his dream come true, or at least see his club in the thick of the fight right down to the end of the season.
 Moved Up
 While the Yankees, Indians and Senators were waging a private dog fight for the lead, the Red Sox were quietly winning games. They jam med into the lead on Saturday and increased it yesterday.
 Two of Yawkey's highest-priced players Lefty Grove and Jimmy Foxx-have been instrumental fac- tors in the Red Sox drive, an eight game winning streak on which they rode west today.
 FoXX, who, along with Johnny Marcum cost Yawkey $150,000 and players in 1885, leads both leagues in homes with eight and tops the runs-batted-in column with 39. Grove, who cost $150,000 in 1883, has won six straight games for the best pitching record on the circuit.
 Grove beat the Senators yester- day 4-3. Although reached for 13 hits, he bore down in the clinches to win a pitching battle with Monte Weaver. Foxx got two hits and bat ted in run. The defeat dropped the Senators to fourth behind the idle Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees who are tied for sec- ond.
 Surprise!
 In the only other American league game, the St. Louis Browns beat the Detroit Tigers Al in 8 five-in- ming game called because of rain. The defeat dropped the Tigers to sixth behind the idle Chicago White Sox. Oral Hildebrand held the Tigers to two hits in five innings
 The New York Giants, idle since Wednesday, had their game with Philadelphia rained out again. The; Pittsburg Pirates took 11-inningI game from the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, toI move into second, 5 1-2 games be- hind the Giants. Johnny Dickshot's single with Arky Vaughan on sec- ond base sent home the winning run.
 The Boston Bees licked the Brook lyn Dodgers 10-7 and tool; over sixth place. The St. Louis Cardin- als won 10-inning, 12-11, decision from the Cincinnati Reds. The Car dinals blew a seven-run lead but won out when Pepper Martin, pinch hitting, singled in Mickey Owen who had tripled. YESTERDAYS HERO Lefty Grove, 38-year-old Boston Red Sox pitcher, who won his sixth straight victory of the year.

Chief Justice Maltbie Postpones Any Action
(Continued from Page D

apparently desires to save his com ments for the court. He declined to say whether he would rather try the cases in Waterbury than New Haven.
 Question Its Right
 Defense counsel will question, on Friday, his right to file the motions here. Inasmuch as it is their belief that when Judge Simpson ruled on the change of venue motion October 25, he transferred the case to the docket at New Haven. It is their be- lief that all motions and prelimin- aries concerning the trial should now be taken to New Haven.
 Chief Justice Maltbie said today that he had been told by Special Prosecutor Alcorn that he intended to file such motions.
 No Warning Given
 No warning was given to any others of the intentions of Special Prosecutor Alcorn to take action in opposition to trying the conspiracy cases in New Haven. It has been understood, however. that he was vigorously opposed to such a proce- dure.
 Since the judges ruling was issued he has refused to comment, and this, coupled with his failure to make immediate motion for a trial date, gave rise to speculation that something was in the air." But he refused to comment.
 Fears For His Rights
 It is believed that Alcorn fears that his right to prosecute the cases might be impaired by the transfer to New Haven, despite the fact that Judge Simpson confirmed his ap- pointment as prosecutor in that city
 The fact remains that States At torney Samuel Hoyt of New Haven has not disqualified himself from acting.
 When MT. Alcorn filed his motion for change of venue, he did not specify a desire for any particular county. He did point out, however, that he wanted the trial out of New Haven county, and the advantages of Hartford county were particularly stressed.
 Appeal Is Suggested
 Whether or not he intends to ap- peal from the transfer order, cannot be learned There is also the ques- tion as to whether an appeal from such a ruling might not be consid- cred by the Supreme Court as in the same light as the question of secrecy of the grand jury minutes. The high court held that the min- utes ruling was interlocutory, and could not be appealed from.

NOTED NOVELIST. TO SPEAK HERE.
Very Rev. Dudley, Distin- guished Writer, Guest
 of Catholic Council

The Very Rev. Owen Francis Dud- ley, distinguished novelist and lec- turer, will make his initial appear a1ce in this city when he speaks under the auspices of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women, Mon- day evening, November 28, in the auditorium of the Waterbury Catho- lie high school. The name of Owen Francis Dudley may, perhaps, be best remembered as the well known author of five "best sellers" fore most among which is the clever por- trayals in 'The Masterful Monk" 'Tile Shadow on the Earth" and "The Pageant of Life" all of which, because of their popular demand in both England and the United States as well as other countries, have been translated into many languages, and likewise printed in Braille.
 Father Dudley is convert to Catholicism, having before that been a clergyman of the Anglican church. He was ordained a Catholic priest in Beda College in Rome in Sep tember, 1917. During the World War he served as chaplain for the Gunners in the British army, 4lst Division, serving both on the French and Italian fronts where he was se- verely wounded. Later he joined the Catholic Missionary society of England of which society he is at the present time superior general. It is
