 Williams Hit 4Home Runs

New York, June 27 = (UP) = In the next to the last inning of @ bad road trip, the Red Sox shook the shackles from their bats and scored more runs than in any of their 1S previous games, then head ed home today in triumph for Fen way Park, the most beautiful spot on earth as far as they are con- cerned.
 It might have been the short course" in hitting that the Tigers gave them in scoring IS runs in the first two innings as they won the opening game of 8 double header, IS to 2, that suddenly awakened the Sox.
 The fact that they were facing a double defeat for the first time this year also might have been a factor. But the best guess is that they were looking forward to opening @ home stand at Boston against the Wash ington Senators Friday. Whatever was the incentive 1t worked to per- lection because the Red Sox rolled across seven runs and won, g to 3, giving Dave (Boo) Ferriss his 11th victory at a time when he faced his fourth straight defeat.
 NewhOuSer Hit Homer
 Despite the opening game loss to Detroit in which they played their worst baseball of the year as even Che weak hitting Hal Newhouser alugged out three-run homer, the Red Sox didn't give up.
 Newhollser had no difficulty in annexing his 18th win against three losses, striking out il batters. Fer riss, though he gave up nine hits, was effective after the third .inning of the second game, holding Detroit scoreless in the last six frames.
 The battle for home run honors was standoff, Hank Greenberg and Ted Williams each getting two in the double bill to bring their to- tals for the season to 19 each.
 The Red Sox, who never made more than six runs in any of their other games on the western junket, finished with six victories and eight losses. They are seven games ahead of the runner-up Yankees, whereas they led by 10 games when they left Boston, June 12. ...,
 The Yankees wound up a more successful trip with eight victories and four defeats, winning the finale by the appropriate score of 8 to 4 as Spud Chandler gained his 11th victory. Joe Gordon's two-run homer started him on the way.
 An error produced the winning run in a 16-inning battle at Chi cago when Relief Pitcher Sid Hud- son came home to give Washington a 4 to victory on the mu1 of an easy roller by White Sox third base man Bob Kennedy. Hudsons who won his fifth game, had singled and gone to third on a single by Buddy Lewis. The error nullifled seven in- nings of scoreless relief pitching by Frank Papish.
 The Browns took advantage Of Philadelphia errors and homers by Chet I.aabs and Welt Judnich to beat the Athletics, Il to 4 at St. Louis. Six unearned runs III the first four innings clinehed the vic- tory.
