Birdie Tebbetts.

remembered remorsefully in Bos-

there last season in game that
figured in forcing the Red Sox
into a playoff game with Cleve-

Pitcher Chuck Stobbs popped
double into left field which Clyde
Vollmer touched with leather but
couldn't hold. Dom Di Maggie
scored Stobbs with a ringing sin
gle to center, but Scarborough
then retired the last 10 Red Sox
in order.
This. by scarborough's personal
yardstick, was the best game of
his life, but entering the last half
OF the ninth inning he stood to be

Then the Mats came to life.
Roberto Ortiz, fooled completely
on an outside pitch a few seconds
before. lashed a single to center.
The fleet Gil Coan ran for him
and Ed Stewart, batting for Voll-

In that situation Eddie Robin

Stobbs for an infield hit, shifting
Coan to third. Kozar brought the
screeching fans to their feet with
a clothesline single to left, scoring
Coan with the tying run.

Joe Mccarthy hastily dispatched

Dente, whose fielding plays. had

with a sharp single to right, so
sharp that the numbering Robin

pitch Lewis attempted a bunt

Tebbetts and Eddie became an
easy victim as Kozar sprinted to
