Club Has Best Spirit
|N Any He Has Had,
Manager Asserts
By Burton Howkins
sior Stoff Correspondent

BOSTON, April 17.-Ossie Bluege,
who was showing signs Of distress
Immediately after his iittery Mats
bestowed victory on the Boston Red
Sox in their 1947 debut, has made
a remarkable recovery. Bluege has
shed his detection and is regarding
the future through rose-tinted spec
tacles.
Keep your spirit up," Ossie told
the club at a meeting here yester-
day." and you can go places, This
is the year for an upset and we can
be the team to provide-4t. We're
going to get plenty OF hitting and
our pitching will be good"
The meeting, called primarily to
discuss baseball's pension plan,
served to soothe the Mats after
their bitter disappointment in los
ing to Boston when triumph was
in their grasp. Instead OF a critical
manager harping on obvious mis-
takes, they found Bluege in an
optimistic mood.
Has Best Spirit, Ossie Says.
This club has the best spirit of
any team I've ever handled" Bluege
informed the Mats. 1.-The first five
fellows in our lineup-Joe Grace

Vernon and Cecil Travis-are going

to maui that ball. Jerry Priddy,
Mark Christman and AL Evans
won't be as dangerous, perhaps, but
they'll get their share of hits.
Il want to tell you pitchers not
to let up for a second. There may
be times when you'll go along,
pitching good game for six or
seven innings, and feel disguised
because we haven't gotten any runs.
Don't get careless, because this is
club that is going to make runs
IN punches. We looked pretty bad
against Tex Hughson for five in
nings, but we wound up knocking
him out Of the box.
IT we can belt Hughson of that
mound we can do the same to any
pitcher in the league. I'm telling
you We have pretty good sort of
ball club. We looked bad that first
game, but forget 1t because we're
going to click"
Bluege cited two blows that beat
the Mats. "In our big eighth inning
Grace murdered a ball with two
men on" Ossie said But his smash
was right at the shortstop and they
turned it into a double-play. After
we scored four runs in that inning
and with two men on Christman
connected solidly, but that was right
at Dom Di Maggie. Either Of those
blows could have won for us, but we
didn't get break on either of them.
That's milk that is spilled" Ossie
continued. What I liked was the
way We came back after being hope
lessly out of it for the first five
innings. A team that can do that
always has chance"

and Angi Must had the Philadel-
phia Warriors 1 up on the Chicago
Stays today as the two quintets pre-
pared for the second contest of the
Basket Ball Association Of America
final playoff series tonight.
The fabulous Fulks scored 81
points. 20 of them in blistering
second-half Warrior onslaught last
night as the Philadelphians waltzed
to an 84-to-7l decision over the
Stays. It was only the second time
in seven starts this year the War
nors were able to top the Windy
City five.
BY scoring 81 points In the final
period-eight field goals in nine
tries-and five straight fouls, Fulks
equaled the league scoring record
for one stanza. He also tied the
arena scoring mark of 81 points in
one game.
The lanky Kentuckian began to
hit as the Stays closed an early gap
and his sensational two-handed
jump shots broke the back of the
Western Division leaders.
; Meanwhile, little Musi stood oil
In back court and as the Stays
drew In to stop the rampaging Fulks,
swished long set shots through the
basket.
Totally, "Mr. Inside" Fulks and
Mr.. Outside" Musi contributed 56
points to the Warrior cause.
After rather sloppy game in the
first half, the two teams battled in
a give and go proposition until mid
way through the last period when
the remainder of the Warriors
caught the Fulks- Musi fire and
pulled away.
The Warriors never trailed as they
pulled away 20-12 in the first quar-
ter and left at intermission with a
1924 advantage. Their largest lead
was 80-66 with 3 minutes remaining.
The Stays will try to even the
best Of seven series tonight and they
