Tonight, johnny Edens will prob
ably take to the mound.
Last night, La y DiOrio started
the game TO- the Pirates ard pitch
ed seven innings, enough to give
him credit for the victory. Larry
allowed five runs and only six hits
during his tenure. A sore should
err muscle made it impossible for
him to continue, and young Louis
Cheshire stepped in to finish the
contest. DiOrio was not injured,
ne has been nursing the shoulder
since the beginning of the season,
and he didn't want to overtax It.
Andy Poklemba, put into right
field because of the injury OF
Johnny Muscovitch, did we'll
enough, blasting a home u over
the left-center field fence in the
fifth inning. He also collected a
single in the fourth.
In all, the BUGS got II hits OIL
of three Smithfield hurlers.
DiOrio made sure he was going
to win the game in the seventh
First up, he squared away ano
socked a four-bagger. Earlier In
the game, Larry had singled in the
fourth, bringing in Bob Steckel.
Fred Musemici and. Bob Steck-
ell were the heavy hitters for the
BUGS, however. Each got two
singles and a double.
The game was poorly played, the
Leafs committing six errors and
the Pirates three. In addition, Leaf
catcher Plantz let a ball get away
from him in the fourth inning.
Rightfielder Becker for the Leafs
did his dead-level best to win the
game, smashing out two singles
and a double in five times at bat.
The other two times he was up,

in his first start. AS a result, he is
third choice in this field.
One other starter in this field,
Phalanx, also broke his maiden
on Derby Day last year. Victor in
the Wood Memorial two weeks
ago, he became one of the short
er-priced winter book choices the
Derby has ever seen.
He'll be ridden this time by
Heady Eddie Arcaro, the New
port, KY, veteran ace, and Heady
Eddie will be all out, because he's
shooting at his fourth necklace OF
roses in this one.
If he makes it, he'll be head
man among all the derby jockeys
in history, breaking the deadlock
he's been in for the past two years
with Handy Earl Sande and the
Negro great, Ike Murphy, stars
of earlier eras.
But although the colt, who is
owned in partnership by Sonny
Whitney, who hasn't had a stand
out star here since Equipoise was
in his heyday, and Abe Hewitt,
White Post Wa.) breeder, is rated
on top, he is no sure-pop.
Anyone of IL of the IA could
lead this open field without causing
the folks to start leaping out OF
windows hereabouts. Faultless,
who has hit the paying %telle-'s

ar eyelash again today of enter
ing baseball's hall of fame for
the third time as he stopped the
Boston Red Sox with one nit ir
gaining his third straight shutout,
2 to 0.
The only hit off Teller came with
one away in the first inning when
Johnny Pesky poked a single into
left field. Bullet Bob went on from
there to record the 10th one-hitter
of his major league career and
his second of the season.
Teller famed 10 and walked six
as he ran his consecutive score
less innings streak to 20.
The Indians mace the victory
easy for their No. l moundsman:
o. Joe Gordon poled his second
home run of the season into the
left field stands with none aboard
in the second inning. and con-
secutive singles by Lou Boudreau,
Les Fleming and Pat Sherry &C
counted for their final tally IN
the fifth off Dave (Boo> Ferrlss.
Rapid Robert twice made Ted
Williams hit into a double play to
choke off any possible Red sox
uprisings. Both twin killings were
made possible by the "Boudreau
Shift, a maneuver which shifts
the entire infield, with the ex-
ception of Ken Keltner to the
right of second base.
