Teller Faces "Red-Hot " Red Sox at Boston
By JOSEPH NOLAN Limited Press Sports WfiterD

poaton. June i2.-(Up)-Blaxing Bob Teller, the Cleveland Indians pitching wonder, and the Boston Red sox, who have ali pitchers won. dering, come face to face today at Fenway Park.
 The sox vii be looking for their 18th win in a row and their second clean sweep of e western series at home.
 Teller wall be out for slis 10th victory and revenge for the pasting the sox gave him a few weeks ago HAlen they drove him to the showers in six innings.
 The Tndlans' strikeout king also will be trying to prove once and for all that early season charges he was "all washed up" were as farsfetched as the snowball the lady tried to bring back from Iceland.
 Teller catches the Sox in the midst of one of their most fantastic bat. ting sprees of the season.
 Collecting l4 hits, including three homers, the sox drubbed the Indians | 10 to s yesterday to pull out in front of the New York Yankees by 10 full games. Ted Williams, Rudy York and Pinky Higgins hit for the cir- cult, and both York and Higgins drove out three hits besides their round-trippers.
 Knocked Out
 Coming from behind twice. Boston caught visitors in the fifth with a two-run rally. and pushed across three more tallIes in the eighth to carry off the honors. Broadway Charley" Wagner of the Sox obvi- ously was out of his element in the nitcher,s box. He was nicked for two runs in the third and three in the fourth before Bob klinger came to the rescue.
 The Pittsburgh castoff displayed an almost uncanny knack of getting into trouble. but was even more inc genious in getting out of 1t. Inouen he had men on base tn virtually every inning. Klinger kept the In- dians away from home plate, and vas credited with his first victory AIasi hzlscued
 Meanwhile, under the lights in Pittsburgh. the Braves dropped a 5 to 3 decision to the Pirates. Though the tribe outhit the Pirates II to 6 wo misplays by catcher Phil Masl hurt their chances.
 Tn the first inning, with Mort Cooner on the hill for Boston, the
 Pirates combined two hits and MaSii error for a pair of runs. In the fourth, they loaded the bases and catcher Hank Camelli sent up ar easy fly which Massi Dropped. Ca melli then blasted . three.rur triple.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The base

bound today after an uneventful
two-day major league session which
failed to produce single player
trade, although a number Of i'm
portant OFF field matters were
threshed out.
Sam Breadon, St. Louis Cardi-
nails president, had some highly
priced wares, which include a COL
lection of Is assorted pitchers. But
he waved aside all bids with the
statement, I'm not ready to sell
until I examine my merchandise
during spring training"
Among the more important mat
ters handled at the meeting were the
question of bonus payments to free
agents, the sandlot promotional
program, schedules and the suspend
ed game rule.
Bonus Payment Made Risky.
The magnates solved the perplex.
ing problem OF the player bonus with
legislation erasing the practice o1
paying fancy sums to free agent
sandlot and college players, The
majors ruled that clubs may still
pay a bonus, but placed the trans
action under such heavy restrictions

the Nations most popular sports.
Coming from an old tennis player

Of heresy, but Willie is willing to
stand by his guns.
'Lookit Doc White" he said.
"Seventy-eight years old and still

a sport for brokendown athletes or
young maidens. Remember Herb
Joesting, Minnesota's all-America
back, and Jake Slagle, Princeton's
halfback? They were crack bad

the war. George Pfann, the old
Cornell star, was one, too, and l

it ideal for their programs.

match in half hour. You get q

it takes up too much space for too
