In Easy Victory
Visitors Slam Hudson
And Pieretti to Take
First Come Here
By Burton Hawkins

Washington launched it's game
with Boston in light rain yester-
day and finished in man-made fog
created by Denny Galehouse, 35-
year-old fugitive from the st. Louis
Browns. The Mats groped vainly for
a run as Galehouse frustrated them
with four hits and won, 80, before
a Ladies Day crowd of 1886.
Galehouse, who beat Detroit June
21 in his first start for the Red
Sox after being cast off from the
Browns, lifted Boston to its first
triumph this year at Griffith Sta
dium, where the Red Sox had
dropped five straight games.
The Mats presented him with
what amounted to no trouble. Only
two Washington runners reached
third base and meanwhile Boston
was enjoying the pitching of Sid
Hudson, who absorbed his fourth
straight loss and his fifth of the
season.
Wildness Costs Two Runs.
Hudson left the premises after
eight innings with 40 deficit,
turning the relief chores over to
Chick Pieretti, who was no sensa-
ton, yielding four more runs.
Sid's wildness cost the Mats two
runs in the first inning. After Buddy
Lewis had leaped against the right
field fence to stab Wally Moses
drive, Hudson walked Johnny Pesky
and Ted Williams. Sam Mele
forced Williams, but Sid loaded the
bases by walking Bobby Doerr and
in that predicament Leon Culherson
singled to right, scoring Pesky and
Mele.
When Lewis throw to the plate
darted past Al Evans, Doerr con-
tinued to third and Culberson
streaked to second but Hudson
averted additional damage by get
ting Murrell Jones on a pop fly.
That situation existed until the
fifth, when Pesky's triple to left
center and Williams single to center
fashioned another Boston run. The
Red Sox boosted the score to 40
in the seventh when Williams blasted
triple to the left field corner and
scored after Mele flied to Lewis.
Mats Hopes Dissipate.
Whatever hopes the Mats were
harboring of producing rally dis
sipated with Pieretti's appearance in
the ninth. With one out he pitched
a single to Pesky. then walked Will
liams and Mele to load the bases.
Doerr punched single to center,
nearly removing Pieretti's head in
the process and scoring Pesky and
williams. When Eddie Pellagrini
singled to right, scoring Mele, Man.
ager Ossie Bluege waved Milo Cam
dini to the mound.
Candini disposed Of Jones on. a
fly to Joe Grace, but the fourth Bos-
ton run of the inning was sprayed
across the plate when Roy Partee
singled to left, scoring Doerr from
second. Eddie Yost brought mer-
ciful halt to the outburst by throw
ing out Galehouse.
Washington first hit was de-
livered by Yost leading off in the
first inning when he singled to left.
The Mats second hit also was the
work of Yost. who doubled to left
center with two out in the third
and proceeded no further because
Lewis flied to Mele.
Priddy Hits Into Double-Play.
Washington next faint hope
ffickered in the fourth when Mickey
Vernon and Stan Spence walked
successfully with none out, but
Grace flied to Mele and feeblehit-
ting Jerry Priddy drilled into
double-play.
The Mats didn't get another man
ON base until the seventh, when
Priddy singled off Pesky's glove with
two out and Evans singled to right,
sending Priddy to third. Cecil
Travis then batted for Mark Christ
man and lifted fly to Williams.
Washington didn't disturb Gale
house in the eighth or ninth. He
set the Mats down in order to snatch
his third win of the year.
