Spurgeon "Spud" Chandler, now

York Yankees and possessed with
one of the finest lifetime won-and-
lost records among the American
Leagues active pitchers, almost al
ways has found the Boston Red Sox
one of his most persistent hoodoos.
/ Even when the Yanks were run
ming away with pennants and the
SoX were alsorans, Chandler, who
never has gone below the 800 mark
during his entire major league

the exception of 1943 when he beat
them four times without a loss.

only a fair II and 8 record against

Chandler started the season in
brilliant style. winning five straight
contests and allowing only four runs.

in baseball history, Chandler downed
the Pesky pacesetters, FL, on two
hits for his 18th win of the season
as against two defeats.
! At that, Chandler caused the New
, York thrones some anxious moments
as he issued nine walks, including
three each in the second and third
frames and two in the fourth when
Boston scored its lone run.
But the veteran star bore down
in the clutch and famed nine and
was nursing no-hitter until Bobby

This isn't precisely the way the experts had
it doped last Spring in Florida and California.
Then it that the ST Louis Cardinals were

and the New York Yankees were rated above the
Red Sox and World Champion Detroit Tigers in

Neither the Yankees the Cardinals can
be counted out, nor the Tigers nor Cubs for that
