house as thumpin' Teddy Williams remained on the sidelines with food poisoning. Doerr started Hughson on the victory route with two run homer in the first inning, scor- ing behind Wally Moses who had singled. Single runs in the third, fifth and eighth innings gave the SoX their five run margin.
 In scoring the five runs, the Sox registered as many tallieS for Hughson as they had been able to garner in his three previous starts. Over the season, the likeabie right handler has been forced to win most of his games by less than three run margins, and most of his nine de- feats have been one-run affairs.
 The Sox will attempt to improve their lengthy American League lead today when Dave (Boo) Ferriss and Mickey (himselD Harris face the As in twin bill.
 Braves Fourth
 Meanwhile, the Boston Braves took possession of fourth place in the National League with a 12-in- ming 3-1 decision over the Phil adelphia Phillies in night game. The win, coupled with Cincinnati's 80 loss to Chicago, placed the Braves a full game ahead of the Reds.
 Johnny Sain chalked up his 18th win of the season as he limited the Phils to single rnu though touch- ed for 10 hits.
 Sain started the deciding rally with a single, advanced to second on Dick Cullers sacrifice and scored on Billy Herman's single. Herman scored on Johnny Hopp's single.

Lobutis Comes Into His OUn
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

l would be very much willing tt wager one of Jack Freney's 1885 re. paints that the thrill that come! once in a lifetime" came to the able and affable Chase Country Club goll professional, Al Labutis, when ht tied Tommy Armour and beat Gene Sarazen, Eddie Burke, Connection Open champion and Bobby Grant o1 Wethersfield at Mill River Country Club in Stratford Monday. It was the tenth annual Shore Line Open conducted by Lou Galby each year for very fast field of profession- als and amateurs who play the ode distance of 27 holes for money and other prizes.
 Scoring 68 for his first Is holes,
 Labutis, who had not seen the
 light of day when Sarazen and
 Armour first started campaign
 ing on the fairWayS, came through
 with another steady 35 to finish
 68-35-l03 for a total of 4 strokes
 below par. Strangely enough, Ar
 mour scored exactly the same way
 to tie for the title, in the biggest
 field of the tournaments 10 year
 record; the famed Silver Scot"
 now at Rockledge, West Hartford,
 missing put of less than feet
 on the next to last hole (26th) and
 hanging one on the lip on the
 final hole. LabutiS was finished at
 the time; before Armour and Sar-
 azen were in; while Avon's Harry
 Neddlebaldt came blazing in with
 d 3l on the last g holes that just
 missed a triple tie for the top spot
 with LabutiS and Armour
 Imagine getting paid for breaking even with Armour at golf and beat ing Sarazen, all in the same day. But, remember that Labutis played very well at Waterbury last month in qualifying round for the U. S. Open. which Bobby Grant made as one of four loW-scorerS Labutis scored 72 in the morning; strokes more than Eddie Burke's sensation al 67, but one bad hole in the after noon prevented Labutis from mak- Ing the grade; as another 72 would have done the trick.
 Then again, he tied the Chase course Is hole record only 10 days ago with pair of 33's, just a few days after Joe Steponaitis hit a 32-34-66; so you see, Labutis has been moving into the middle of the Connecticut golf picture quite rap idly of late. Yesterdays performance was the clincher in a field of BAT players. including Armour, Sarazen, Porky Oliver, Willie Goggin, Tony Manero. Ed Burke. Mike. Joe and Jim Turnesa.
 In regard to whatever golfing glory and money Al Labutis won at Mill River Monday-it couldn't happen bo nicer guyl

NATIONAL NEGRO CONGRESS HOLDS
BIG FEPC MEETING IN WASHINGTON

He pointed out the inimical atti-
tude of Rep. Howard D. Smith of
Virginia, member of the powerful
rules committee, who had found
fault with the labor committee, de-
manding that action be taken
against strikes. Mr.. Smiths rules
committee is holding up the FEPC|
bill in the house.
For the American Veterans
Committee to Gust Bilbo," Robert
Lee, wounded veteran, vowed
that this group would continue to
picket until Bilbo had been retired
to the limbo where he deserves to
be.
Ben Davis pointed out the fall
lacies of the methods used by the
southerners to block progress and
the FEPC.
He said over a thousand persons
had taken part in the days pro-
gram of visiting congressman to
obtain their support on the FEPC
which was a fair representation.
'The full venom and hatred of
the entire American nation is di-
rected against the twofascists who
sit in the United States senate. Bill
DO is unfit to sit in the senate and
we must treat, talk and consider
him and his associate with con-
tempt.
"We are fighting for our very
lives," Davis continued. Behind
Bilbo and Rankin stand the most
powerful monopoly and concentra-
tion of wealth there is in America.
IF we punish war criminals, we
would also put Bilbo, Rankin and
Eastland in Jail and send them
where other criminals are sent. y
Mr.. Davis said that the veterans
and minority groups were now de-
manding a payoff for what they
fought for. "For years." he said,
"they have maintained a practical
fascist power in the south directed
against the Negro and now they
are trying to spread their beliefs all
over America"
