| BOSTON, May 2.-Washington':
ball club needs another Binks tt
get anywhere if it's hitting exhibi-
tion-as it lost yesterday in the
start of tWo-game series with the
Red SoX here-is any criterion
All the Mats could amass off the
righthanded Emmett O'Neill, be-
fore his control went haywire ir
the eighth and he had to retire
consisted of four hits and five bases
on balls. Three of the passes came
in the eighth inning and three OF
the four hits in the game in which
the Mats were beaten, 5 to 4, rat
tied off George Binks' bat.
So far as the Mats end of the
scoring was concerned, Binks was
the ball game. With his three hits
one slashing double to right field
he drove across all the Washington
runs. Nobody else had any sort of
a punch. The one hit that didn't
count flew from the bat of Gil
Torres in the second inning when
one was out, and nobody could do
anything back of it.
So weak were the Mats at bat
that including their four hits they
drove only six pitches beyond the
infield. One of these pitches was
thrown by George Woods, who sup
planted O'Neill, and it resulted in
a double play that snuffed the Mats
only promising rally of the day.
Fourth in Row for Boston.
The Red Sox ran their winning
streak to four games at the expense
of Johnny Niggeling, trying to come
back after only four days of rest
since his last start. The veteran in
his term with the Mats never has
been effective with less than six
days between turns. But he had to
take over because Mickey Haefner,
originally slated to toll, got back
from his draft board engagement in
Baltimore too upset to go to the
hill.
Of Niggeling, in the seven rounds
he worked, the Red~Sox cleaned 10
hits and passes. Half of the hits
were doubles, three in succession
raped by Leon Culberson. But 1t
was Skeeter Newsome, with his sin
gle and double, who drove over three
of the Red Sox markers and scored
another.
Niggeling did all right until he got
two batters out of the way. Then
the Red Sox pounced on him for
runs. This happened in three in
nings. Marino Pieretti took over in
the eighth after Niggeling had yield
ed to Pinch-Batter Walter Chipple
and the little chucker from the
Coast retired the Red Sox in order.
Haefner was to do the hurting to-
day. He has an idea he was rejected
again in his draft examination yes
terday, although nothing definite
was told him other than that his
papers are being sent to the War
Department for review. But Mickey
could do q lot of fine hurting and

Informs Truman Draft
Boards Discriminate;
Outlines Turf Stand
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, May Base
balls commissioner elect, Senator
A. B. Happy" Chandler, is ready
to fight for the right of ATS to play
baseball.
Just because a mans able to play
tive hours of certain sport is nc
indication that he is fit for military
service" the Kentucky Senator said
in an interview.
Il believe a 4-F is a 4-F regard
less of what his profession might be
Merely because man is a baseball
player and a 4-F doesn't mean his
draft board should reclassify him
and put him into the service"
Chandler said he had heard of
cases where just such things had
happened.
Il have informed the President of
the United States, my friend Harry
Truman, that there have been these
| instances of discrimination against
ball players by selective service
officials and have asked that they
should be Investigated.
Clarifies Stand on Racing.
The commissioner elect used his
press conference yesterday to clarity
his stand on horse racing as it con-
Germs baseball.
He advised players and umpires to
stay away from the race tracks to
avoid possible public censure, but
at the same time said he saw no
reason to attach a stigma to racing
or to men connected with it.
Il attend the Kentucky Derby
every year when possible" the Sem
ator said, ''* and I will feel free
to continue to do SO. I am not going
to try to be a dictator and I think
a person can be interested in horse
racing without being a menace to
baseball"
Chandler added that he had very
little interest in racing personally
except for the Derby which. he said
he considered a rather special sport
ing event.
Chambers attitude toward racing
has been a point of keen interest to
baseball men, since the late Com
missioner K. M Lands was noted
for his stern disapproval of any
hint of intermlngling of the two
sports
Would Judge individuals.
u know fine gentlemen engaged in
the business of breeding and racing
horses who have no desire to harm
baseball Cases of baseball men who
overemphasize the racing interests
will have to be judged on their indi-
vidual merits"
Chandler is making his first of a
series of visits to major league club
owners, preparatory to assuming his
duties as commissioner. He came to
st. Louis yesterday to witness the
raising of the American League pen
nant by the St. Louis Browns, but
had to remain until tonight when
the rain washed out the Brownies

Griffs, Beaten by Bosox, Seen
In Need of Another Binks

get nowhere with what the Mats
didn't have yesterday.
Griffs Again First to Tally.
For their third game in succession
the Mats got away in front. Case
walked and promptly stole. Then
with two out, 'Binks singled and the
Bluege band was one up.
The Red Sox, however, lost nc
time in squaring the count, then
forging ahead. Two were out in
their first turn when Metkovich
slammed the ball against the left
field fence for two bases. After
johnson drew pass. Fox singled
in the tying tally. Culberson opened
the home second with a two-bagger
but was shared at third when Gar
bark tried to sacrifice. O'Neill struck
out, but NeWsome doubled and the
Red Sox were ahead
That wasn't all. Steiner walked
and Metkovich singled in the third
Boston marker. Metkovich was
trapped after rounding first so
Steiner tried to reach home, only to
be erased by Myatt's fine relay to
Guerra.
Binks' double to right scored
Myatt in the sixth to make it close,
but the Red Sox came right back
for two more-and after two were
out again. Culberson's third double,
an intentional pass to Garbark and
O'Neill's scratch hit filled the bases.
Up came Newsome with a single.
Three walks followed by Binks'
third hit. a single, got two Mats
across ana brought Woods to
O'Neill's relief in the eighth. Cliff
lofted to the left fielder and Kuhel,
who had run far off second, was
caught easily in side-retiring dou-
BILE play.
That was the Mats last gasp.
Ferrell Fears Finger Is Broken.
Bostons catcher, Bob Garbark,
had a finger torn while warming up
O'Neill for the second inning, but
after some patchwork remained at
his post. Ferrell now fears he
has a broken instead of a sprained
finger on his right hand and was to
have an X-ray examination today.
Evans donned uniform and
did lot of running before yester-
days game. He means to be in
good condition for regular service
behind the bat as soon as his
cracked finger heals.
Wearing a special steel brace
added to the cast which still encases
his right ankle and using crutches,
Joe Cronin was back on the Red Sox
bench yesterday. -. Its been mur-
der having to get the games by re-
ports only" he said. :. This is the
first time I've ever been out for any
length of time he added. Joe
is hoping to be in uniform again in
another five weeks. Whether he
can do more than pinch-hit from
now on, is questionable. But
that could be enough, the way he
has socked 'em In his time.

Interhish Standings

High school baseball coaches, like
their brethren in the major leagues,
often play lunches. and sometimes
they pay big dividends That's what
happened to Coach Cliff Moore of
Western, who today has ball team
that has caught fire and appears
headed for another championship
all because Moore. against his bet
ter judgment, followed through on
wild idea yesterday.
Moore had plenty of worries on
his mind as he prepared to send the
Raiders into action against RooSe-
welt on the Rough Riders diamond
and the least of his troubles was
tall, substitute out1elder who was
begging for chance to get in the
game.
Western, badly beaten by Eastern
and Coolidge, just didn't have the
spark that took the Raiders to the
championship last year, and Moore
couldn't find the answer Puzzling
over his starting lineup, Moore again
was interrupted by the gangly out
fielder. His name, as the entire
scholastic loop Knows today, is Guy
Chamberlain.
Makes Tremendous Debut.
"All right, all right" said the eX-
asperated coach, who didn't see what
he had to lose. You start in right
field" 1t was the first time the 16-
year-old, senior, had started
game
The first time Chamberlain came
up to bat was in the second inning
with the game scoreless. The coach
covered his face with his hands. He
heard the lusty sock of hardwood
meeting horsehide and peered be-
tween his fingers to see the ball
bound for the stratosphere and
Chamberlain trotting in with a
home run
That gave Western the idea. Nick
Chanaka, slugging Raider first
baseman, went to the plate in the
following inning and slammed out
another circuit clout.
Again, Chamberlain stepped up to
bat in the fourth inning This time
Moore watched closely. Again it was
WHAM! Another ball out of the
park. The youngster had set an in
terhigh record for the season by
hitting two homers in one game
the first game of his high-school
career as a regular
AnticlimaX came in the sixth
when Chamberlain went to the
plate again. The crowd gave him
an ovation. The lad squared away
and dug his cleats into the dirt. He
struck out.
Meanwhile, the rest of the West
ern team had become fired by Cham
berlain's example. Gene Gould, star
Raider pitcher who has been slow
getting started this year, turned in
a neat one-hit hurting job, tanning
II and showing the control that
won the title for Western last year
Western wound up with a 6-to-0I
decision.
Only hit to mar Goulds clean
shutout was Catcher Lou Limber's
single to center field in the last in

Loss Of Dietrich Offset
For White Sox as
Haynes Stars
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Joe Haynes owned the best-pitched
game of the infant American League
season today on a one-hit job
against Detroit that eased Manager
Jimmy Dykes worries about Bill
Dietrich's sore arm.
Although the Chicago White Sox
were sailing along in first place at a
6-2 pace, Dykes was beginning to
wonder how long it could last after
Dietrich underwent an operation for
removal of four bone chips from his
pitching elbow. The doctors said
the bespectacled ace would be lost
for at least a month.
Now Haynes can be counted as a
regular starter along with Thornton
Lee, Orval Grove and Ed Lopat.
Haynes didn't start a game until
August l last season. didn't beat
the Tigers all year and was blasted
for 13 hits by Detroit last time he
faced them.
1t took single over second base
in the third inning by Skeeter Webb
who was traded to Detroit by Chi
cago last winter, to spoil no-hit
bid by the 27-year- -old veteran of
seven big league seasons.
Only % Tiger batters faced Haynes
yesterday as he tossed the SO shut
out that spoiled the Bengals' first
place drive.
Roy Schalk drove home three of
Chicago's scores with a triple and
single as the Sox Knocked out
Starter Walter Wilson. a recruit
from Buffalo. Les Mueller, a dis
charged serviceman, allowed one hit
in four relief innings but the dam
age was done.
Rain forced postponement until
tonight of the scheduled game in
st. Louis where Commissioner A. B.
Happy Chandler was scheduled to
assist in raising the Browns first
pennant in A years. All other
games also were postponed.
