forgot it in all the excitement.
They're going to do it now. We

few minutes"
"Where's-" Laura started to
ask about Jerry.
But at that moment they heard
two sounds-fron different dl-
rections. From the direction of
the Roc d'Enfer came the reports
Of rifle and machine-gun fire.
And from overhead the roar OF
the motors of two German fight
er planes.
Laura snatched up her gun and
raced to the door of the plane.
Don't take any more of those
branches away" she called to
Blaiston and the others. Get
in here and get ready!'
Looking frantically around for
Jerry, she leaped from the plane
to the ground. She darted into
the woods as the two German
planes circled overhead.
One of the planes was coming
in for a landing while the other
lowered overhead, circling the
pasture. She knew that part OF
their plane could now be seen
from above, but not all of it.
Her first impulse was to run
back up the path toward the cave
at the top of the hill. She heard
the steady reports of firing from
there.
"But I can't do that" she told
herself. Jerry will be coming
down the shortcut path that
leads to the other end of the field
Maybe he's left the hilltop al
ready. I'll go to the foot of the
path he will take. I can meet
him there when he comes. III

little pasture. By the time i

Pavot, unbeaten last year but
whipped by Polynesian last week in
the Withers Mile at Belmont, simply
didn't have it today. The sleek
brown son of Case Ace e-Coquelicot
came in fifth, two lengths behind
Johnny Gilbert on The Doge.
The latter, a notorious gutter,
ran a surprisingly good race. He
was the one who dogged Poly
nesians flying hooves from the be-
ginning until they hit the stretch.
A length behind at that point it
appeared that the AL shot might
score one of the major upsets of
turf history, but he folded in the
stretch.
Poly Needs Little Urging.
Wright, well aware of Hoops
front-running ability, spurred
Polynesian to the fore at the start
and rated him we'll the rest of the
distance. He saved ground on the
turns. and when it seemed that The
Doge, making his move on the far
turn, might catch him, Wright
simply clucked in Polynesian's ear
and put more ground between him
self and Gilbert.
Hoop Jr., and Iceman George
Woolf had no excuses. The Hoop
was in a challenging position all
the way and could have made a bid
any time at any point, but Woolf
and Junior were no match for Poly
nesian and Wright today,
The Hoop tried to grab the lead
at the outset, but Wright was out
there with his mount and the Derby
champ couldn't take it away. Nov

hard put to keep Pavot in his place.
Several times it seemed as though
the Hooper colt tried to improve his
position, but Gilbert had the Doge
moving at lively clip and Wright,
in turn, was keeping him at a dis
tance
Pavot got off fourth and failed to
improve. All of Woolf's skill
couldn't shake him loose from

Mats ErrorIess

Only l::2o to PIoy
BY JOHN B. KELLER,

After the storm the calm. In
sharp contrast to Friday nights
tWin-bill that consumed six hours
and seven minutes of playing time
was yesterday afternoons mild
tussle between Mats and Boston's
Red Sox, which was over in an
hour and 20 minutes with the Mats
ahead, 4 to 0.
The reason was Mickey Haefner,
southpawing knuckleballer. All
Mickey gave the Red Sox consisted
of five hits, all singles, and the Mats
accorded him errorless support.
While the little lefthander was
subduing the Boston band, the Mats
were swinging on the righthand
pitching Yank Terry served for nine
hits, including two triplets and a
double. They didn't get a pass, but
Boston provided two errors to make
one of the Washington runs ur-
earned.
Twice the Mats clustered three
hits and each time they got across
two runs. This happened in the
third and eighth innings. Two OF
the hits were made by Haefner and
each led to tally.
Clinch Game in Eighth.
The triplets, hit by Gil Torres
and Joe Kuhel, came in the eighth
and helped Terry maintain his
record of not having finished any
thing he has started this season.
With two runs in, Kuhel on third
and two out in the eighth. Terry
retired in favor of the lefthanded
Vic johnson, who quickly made
Hills Layne the third out.
Haefner definitely was master of
the Red Sox as he scored his third
win of the year-and his first since
May 27 when he beat the Tigers In
Detroit-against six defeats. Not
until the fourth inning that Tom
Mcbride opened with a walk did
Red Sox see first base and only three
got by that station.
Two were gone in the eighth when
Terry got his initial hit of the year
and became the first of the invaders
to reach second when Eddie Lake
drew a pass. But Skeeter Newsome,
batting for Benny Steiner, the Cap
ital's gift to the Red Sox, fouled out.
There was one out in the ninth
when Bob johnson singled and ad-
vanced a notch as Mcbride got his
second hit. When Leon Culberson
forced out Mcbride. johnson became
the first and only Red Sox to perch
on third Jack Tobin's best, though,
was a pop to Torres.
Ferrell Starts First Scoring.
Rick Ferrell blazed the way to the
first pair of Nat scores when he
opened the third inning with a two
bagger. Haefner put down a pretty
bunt toward third and beat it out.
George Myatt rammed single to
center and Ferrell crossed Culber-
son fumbled the hit to let Haefner
reach third, and Myatt checked in at
second when Steiner fumbled Cul-
bersons return. Torres long fly
brought in Haefner.
Haefner began the ninth with a
clean hit to right. Myatt lofted out,
but Torres rifled triple over Cul-
bersons head. Fred Vaughn
grounded to short and Torres was
snuffed at the plate before Kuhel
contributed his triple, drive to the
angle behind right center. That nm
ished Terry.
The best Red Sox bid for a long
hit was made by johnson at the
start of the seventh with slam he
aimed for the left-f1eld-stand wall
400 feet from the plate. But George
Case, despite ailing legs, celebrated
his return to left field by running far
for one-hand grab against the
