SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. IA
Bucky Harris Mats are like a flock
of kids and sliding board; they
aren't going anywhere but they are
having lots of fun.
The Harrismen got to be pretty
important figures last week in
Washington when they helped to
cut the Yankees lead for the Red
Sox by knocking off the champions
in two out of three games. 1t was
the first important thing they had
done all season.
The fates obviously want to keep
the Mats in the limelight these days,
even if in negative glow. They went
from Washington to Boston and
obligingly lost the first two games.
But then. after the scoreboard had
showed the AS as surprise winners
over the Yanks and the Sox stood
a chance to cut that lead to five
games by winning the second game
of a double-header, the Mats hauled
off and won it, 6 to 3.
And Alexandra Carrasquel, of all
people, did the pitching! Astound-
ing everybody. Harris chose Alex to
do the chucking and the ancient
Venezuelan responded by winning
his first victory since June "a, when
he defeated the Tigers, IL to 4.
Next-The Yanks Again.
Today the Mats were here to plav
their Eastern League farmhands in
an exhibition game at twilight but
the spotlight returns to them to-
morrow in New York when they bat
tie the Yankees in another three
game series. The Mats can't lick
the Red Sox-they've won only
and lost 11-but they have played
500 ball against the champions and
with Dutch Leonard ready to work
IN the opener, Ken Chase in the
second game and Joe Krakauskas in
the final they have hopes of taking
another set.

parts in settling the American
League pennant winner. In their
last two series they gained two
games for the Bostons and there
is no telling what is coming off next
for, after the three-game stand in
New York, they return home to
play, of all teams, the Red Sox
again!
While $4,000 packed Fenway Park
yesterday, the Sox pounded Joe
Haynes for II hits in the opener and
won, to l. 1t wasn't much of
a game but it was important from
a Boston viewpoint inasmuch as the
Yankees lost, 1873. Then came the
nightcap and Carrasquel.
Williams, Lewis ClOut Ball.
Alex has been in the doghouse
with Harris for a long time but
when a fellow is desperate he will
do anything. So Bucky pitched
Carrasquel, although it was Chase's
turn. (Ken didn't get it because
the Sox are hard on left-handers)
The Mats, after bowling passively
to Fritz Ostermueller in the first
game, jumped on Galehouse, Wade,
Heving, Wilson and Dickman for
Is hits and 6 runs, taking a 4-9
lead in the two opening innings.
The Sox, while always dangerous,
couldn't hook up their hits and
passes and some neat catches of
line drives by the Mats didn't help
them. So when 6:15 pm. rolled
around and the game was stopped
by law at the end of eight innings.
Carrasquel, at long last, had won a
decision.
No break for the Red Sox's Ted
Williams was the departure of the
Mats. Long Theodore collected
pair of doubles on his last two times
at bat against Masterson last Satur-
day and in the opener yesterday
against Haynes he wound up with
three singles after walking the first
two times at bat. That made five

BOSTON, Aug. 14.-The Boston

pitcher Woodrow Rich to fill one of
the gaps there.
The move came at time when
only three of the Sox pitchers hao

Believed a find at the start of the
season, Rich hurt his arms in mid

Wagner had only Indifferent sue

LIE Febvre joined the Boston club

pletely suppressing any maneuver the

heaving of gloves, not only bewildered
his opponent, but amazed the fans to

Henry with left-jabs to the face, and
right-uppercuts to the chin, in the
early phase of the battle The 10th
session was a spirited one, Henry
missed a terrific right-hook, and
moved in with a machine-like two
hand bombardment to the body. Rod
eric fought hard, but was unable to
keep Armstrong off. At times, Henry
hit his heavier foe, by 10 1-2 pounds,
at will, doing his damaging work on
the "inside." Roderick's punches lost
their steam after the 10th session.
In the 18th Roderick was joIted sew

the unanimous award thus retaining
his welterweight crown amid the
tumultous applause of the British
fight fans.
