SOx CONTINUE
FLAG RAMPAGE

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 - GJP) -
1t may be too little and it may
be too late but the Boston Red
SoX' current squirt might make
things a bit interesting for the
New York Yankees in the American
League.
Six weeks ago, of course, an
eight-game winning streak such as
the Red Sox boast today and a
record of IA victories out of Is
starts would have raised the tempo
of the junior circuit competition
to an exciting pitch. Even as it is,
the Bostons have cut the Yankees
pace-setting margin to a reason
able 8l2 games.
They are getting pitching and
hitting worthy Of champions and
after playing the Yankees right
down to the ground in their last
four-game set at. FenWay Park
the took three out of four-have
won eight of II games from the
champions. 1t would require mo-
dern miracle for the Sox to send
the Yankees tumbling from the
top with only 30 games remaining
but it definitely could happen here.
FIGHT STRAIGHT
The Red Sox made it eight
straight yesterday, taking both
ends of a doubleheader from the
Cleveland Indians, 4-3 and 81.
After Lou Boudreau had broken
2-all tie for Cleveland with home
run in the lltn, the Red Sox broke
loose for two runs in the last half

COOPER CLIPS BROOKS

Mort Cooper went the full dis
tance as the Cardinals clipped the
Dodgers for the second time, 2-1
in ID innings and cut Brooklyn's
National League lead to 512 games.
Cooper dUeled scorelessly with
Whit wyatt until the 18th when
Brooklyn went in front with
run but the Cardinals tied it in
their half.
A scratch single by Terry Moore,
his only hit of the night, with the
bases loaded and one out, pushed
over the winning run that gave
Cooper his 18th win. George Ku-
rowski bunted safely and Martin
Marion was safe on another bunt
when Dolph Camilli threw late to
second. After Cooper went put,
Jimmy Brown walked to set the
stage for Moore,
Johnny Wander Nicer clipped Carl
Hubbell's winning streak at eight
games and pitched the Reds to
81 victory over the Giants. Van
der Nicer, who famed IL batters,
bringing his total strikeouts to l40
for the season, gained his 18th
victory with the aid of two New
York errors.
Rip Sewell hurled three-hit ball
for the Pirates and beat the
Braves, 60 Tommy Holmes con-
nected for all the hits given up
by Sewell. The Bucs hammered
four pitchers for II hits, including
Jimmy Wasdells fourbagger in the
first inning.
The Phils cut loose five runs in
the second and one in the fifth
and defeated the Cubs, Ga. The
phils made Is hits off three pitch
ers and Johnny Podajny and Rube
Melton scattered IL blows includ-
ing Bob Something's fourth-inning
homer with one on.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. CUPl-Jim-
my Edgar of Detroit, the Little
Brown Bomber" gets his all-import-
ant test at Madison Square Garden
Friday night when he proves to the
boxing world that he is either u
a second edition of Joe Louis, or (2)
just another ham, -and-egger.
Edgar is compared with Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis in his
every move because he comes from
Detroit, the champions home town.
because he is managed by John Rox-
borough-one of Louis co-manag-
ers-because he apparently is one
of the hardest hitting welterweights
ever to toss leather. And because
he admittedly apes Jolting Joe's
shuffling style.
CAUSED EARTHQUAKE
Edgar caused a milk quake in the
boxing fraternity on July 81, when
he knocked out Vern Patterson
in the second round at the Garden,
after exhibiting one of the grand
est displays of straight punching
New Workers have noted in a COM
parative novice in years.
Because of that kayo, 21-year-old

of the frame and won the opener.
Oscar Judd came through with
seven-hitter in the nightcap, the
Indians lone run coming as a re-
suit OF passed ball in the first
inning.
Joe Gordon's 18th homer with
one on climaxed an uphill battle
in which the Yankees overcame
the White Sox, 5-3. Johnny Hump
hrieS blanked the Yanks for the
first six frames but Gordons
single, an error, Gerry Priddys
triple and another error tied the
score in the seventh. Marvin Breu-
er was raped for 10 hits before
he was relieved by Ernie Bonham
in the seventh.
The Browns climbed into third
place in the American League, de-
feating the Senators, 81, in the
opener of a twilight double head
er. AL Hollingsworth and Dennis
Galehouse held Washington to
seven hits.
The Browns made their advant-
age over the fourthplace Indians
a game and a half by edging the
Senators, 3-2, in an thinning
nightcap. Walt Masterson went
the route for Washington allowing
only six hits.
