BY JACK HAND,


Joe Cronin's Inflated comeback
as regular big league inf1elder ap-
peared to be over today as the Bos-
ton Red Sox opened their home
season with their skipper sidelined
by fractured right leg.
Cronin suffered the fracture when
he tripped and fell going into second
base in the seventh inning of yes
terday's Yankee-Boston game in
New York.
1t may be possible for the San
Francisco Irishman to play again,
but a 38-year-old veteran doesn't
often bounce back from a serious
injury. At time when the Sox had
lost three straight and were hard
put to fill wide gaps left by service
calls, the loss of Cronin came as a
stiff blow to the clubs first division
ambitions.
Doctors Offer Hope.
Doctors held hopes Cronin would
be lost for only two months, but
there was little enthusiasm in the
Boston camp about any return to
action of one of the games greatest
stars for 20 years. The player
manager for whom Tom Yawkey
paid Clark Grifnth $250,0O0 and
Lyn Larry II years ago, was hitting
.375 in the first three games, had
worked of excess weight and was
playing an excellent third base.
Now, on top of Cronin's worries
about replacing Bobby Doerr.. Tex
Hughson, Hal Wagner and others,
he had to figure on a man to fill his
own shoes at the hot corner.
The Red Sox dropped their third
in q row to the Yanks, 4-3, in a
peculiar game climaxed by Mike
Ryba's hitting Johnny Lindell with
the bases loaded in the last of the
ninth to force in the winning run.
Walt Dubiel had to overcome some
spotty support to register his initial
victory.
7 Detroit had reason to cheer the
