BOSTON BEES
 NOT CLASSY BUTT GET RESULTS.
Weak Hitters in Third Place; Won Many Close
 Games; Pitchers Good
By ROBERT WEBB

ny 1AVD6n4 WEWn
 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, May 27-(UP)-Credit Casey stengel, the reformed clown prince of baseball. with one of the smartest managing jobs of the sea- son.
 His Bees hit only .239, 50 points less than the Cubs and Cincinnati. In club fielding, his team ranks no better than fifth. Yet today the Bees are in third place, only four and one-half games behind the league leading New York Giants.
 There's only one explanation for the Bees success. Although of- fensively the team is the weakest in the league, the Boston defense stands up against the best in the business.
 We're weak defensively at only two spots, third base and left field" says Stengel. Gene Moore in right and Vince DiMaggio in center can cover ground and throw with the best of them. Elbie Fletcher is the best-fielding first basefnan in the business while Rabbit Warstler at shortstop and Tony Cuccinello at second base form a great double play combination"
 At third base and left field, Sten- gel has tried to insert little power Max West, a rookie from the west coast who hits the ball mile now and then, plays left while Casey has finally decided to use Debs Garms, the best hitter on the team at pres- ent writing, at third.
 The Bees suffered blow when Al Lopez, their flrst-string catcher, broke his right thumb and was placed on the voluntarily retired list for 60 days although the substitu- iton of Ray Mueller, who caught GA games last season, hasn't slowed the team up yet.
 So far the Bees have played 29 games and in 19, the starting pitcher has gone the route. Milt Shoffner has pitched six complete games in as many starts, Jim Turner and Dan MacFayden five each, while Lou Fette has gone the distance three times. Turner and Fette were 20- game winners last seasons but so far. Shoffner and MacFayden have made better records.
 At best, the Bees are a team of mediocre players. The Giants want ed Tony Cuccinello to fill a gap at second base yet most of the other players hardly measure up to the big league standard. Turner, Fette, and Shoffner languished in the min- ors until they were over 30. There isn't a man on the team who hit better than .285 last season.
 But the Bees have been winning the close ones. Victorious in nine of their last ten starts, they have won seven games by one-run margin. Of seven xtra-inning games. they have won five. The sacrifice bunt and the squeeze play an important part in the Bees oHense.
 The Bees have won ten and lost three for the best record at home of any team in the field. National League field is spacious and an east wind cuts bleacher-bound drives into routine putouts. Visiting teams don't like the Bees park. But the Bees have done so well at home they may spend the season in the first division.

 Red SOx
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, May N.-(UP)-The eastern American league clubs bid adieu to the west with a grand slam" and headed for home today with the Red Sox. Yankees and Senators hot on the heels of the pace-setting Cleveland Indians.
 While the entire National league was idle yesterday because of rain the east made clean sweep in the American league by winning four games on western territory.
 The Red Box knocked off the h. dianS. 8-4. The Yankees tripped the Tigers, 5-1, the Senators out slugged the Browns, l2-10. The Ath- letics beat the White Sox, 4-1.
 The four eastern victories helped tighten the American league race, leaving Cleveland with a two-game lead over Boston and three-game lead over New York. The fourth place Washington club trails Cleve- land by 1-2 games.
 Jack Wilson, who sometimes is called the fastest pitcher, halted the Indians for the second straight time by pitching the Red Sox to an 8-4 triumph. Wilson held the Indians to five hits and famed six. The Red SoX slugged Galehouse, Hum- phries and Hudlin for IA hits in- cluding Jimmy Foxx's tenth homer. Manager Joe Cronin collected two doubles and two singles to pace his teams attack.
 Red Rufflng, Tanks right-handed ace, returned to action after a siege of influenza and pitched New York to victory over Detroit. He yielded only seven hits, and struck out ten before large weekday throng of 22,00O. Frankie Crosetti had per- feet day at bat with 8 for g.. The Tanks spoiled Schoolboy Rowe's bid for his first victory by getting to him for two runs in the fifth and then he gave way for pinch hitter.
 Washington came from behind in the late innings to turn back st.. Louis. zeke Bonura. Taft Wright and Buddy Lewis hit homers in a 13-hit attack on four Browns hurl- CTS. Wesley Terrell, pitching the last two innings, received credit for the victory.
 With George Caster keeping nine hits well scattered, the Athletics broke the White Sox's three-game winning streak. Earl Brucker led the As attack with three singles and two walks. Wally Moses hit two singles.
