Di Mag, in Sparkling
Return, Proves He's
Still Games Ace
By Joe Reiehler
Associosed Press Sports Writer

Two things became clear today.
Joe Di Maggie. ailing heel and all,
still is the most electrifying figure
in baseball. and the New York
Yankees definitely are the team to
beat for the American League
flag.
Only yesterday such a state
ment could not have been made
in all sincerity. But events in
Boston last night proved even to
die-hard Red Sox fans that Joltin'
Joe is the No. l Di Maggie. and
the Yankees will take a lot Of
beating.
II will be a long, long time be-
fore the 36,228 spectators lured
out to Fenway Park by the pros
pect of seeing Joe back in action,
will forget Di Mays 1949 debut.
They saw Joe cover himself in a
blaze of glory as the Yankees de-
feated their favorites, 5-4. They
know now that the Red Sox face a
herculean task to overcome New
York's fat six-game bulge.
Di Mag. who missed the Yam
KEGS first IS games because Of an
inflamed right heel, wasted no
time proving that he lost none OF
his greatness. Facing 20-year-old
Maurice McDermott in the second
inning. for his first official time
at bat this year. Joe lined a
single to left center. Two outs
later. he and Johnny Lindell
scored ahead of Hank Bauer's
home run to give the Yankees a
80 lead.
Joe's Homer Decides IL.
Di Mag came up for his second
time at bat in the third. There
were two out and one on. He
rified a fast pitch into the left
field screen for a home run to
put his team in front. SO. That
was the ball game. as the Red Sox
came back to knock out Allie
Reynolds In the ninth and come
within one run OF tying 1t UP. 1t
was Joe who caught Ted VIII
liams' long fly with q runner on
third for the Anal out Of the
game.
Di Maggie had six chances in
the field and gobbled them up
neatly. He was forced to Inske a
long run to get under Williams
fly in the seventh. and appeared to

Scarborough Faces
Scheib Tonight as
Mats Attack Slump
by Burton Howkins

The lonesomest guys in town
these evenings are those rare
Mats who reach base. There's no
plan to leave lamp in TIE dugout
to show 'em the way home. but
Manager Joe Kuhel is consider
ing the possibility Of lassoing them
and drawing them to him.
In their last 18 innings the
Mats have stirred up one run
against Cleveland's Steve Gromek
and Philadelphia's Alex Kellner.
Gromek operated against one pla-
toon of Mats and Kellner moved
dowa another group, indicating
the Mats consistency.
Against the Athletics Carl
Scheib tonight the Mats hope to
emerge from their protracted bat
ting slump and aid Ray Scar
borough in quest of his eighth
win, but recent events spread a
damp blanket over those dreams.
In their last six games the Mats
have accumulated IL runs. and
their pitching hasn't been ef-
fective enough to Offset that bat
ting deficiency.
Blow Easy Opportunities.
Last night, in the process OF
losing a 6-1 decision to the AS
the Mats couldn't locate vital
punch at the proper moment.
| In the fourth inning. for in
stance, Sam Dente opened with
double. He shifted to third on Ed
Stewards grounder. but was
stranded when Sam Mele fouled
out and Clyde vollmer grounded
out. In the fifth inning Eddie
Robinson and AL Kozar singled
successfully to launch potential
rally, but Mark Christman forced
Kozar, AL Evans popped out and
Pinch hitter John Simmons flied
out.
The Mats produced their lone
run in the sixth after Dente walked
and Stewart doubled. Mele famed
but Vollmer's fly to center enabled
Dente to score from third before
Robinson also flied out. Wash
ington also placed two runners on
base in the eighth and ninth but
couldn't get 'em across.
| Meanwhile, the AS fashioned
three runs in the first inning
.against Mickey Haefner. who alb
sorbed his third defeat. The AS
came up with that cluster through
the medium of two walks. a wild
pitch, Hank Majeski's single and
errors by Dente and Robinson.
Eleventh Win for Kellner.
Taft Wright singled across Mike
Guerra at Lloyd Hittle's expense
in the sixth and the AS added two
runs in the ninth against Paul
Calvert and Dick Welteroth to
insure Kellner's 11th victory
