TRAGEDY MAY BE REVEALED; FOUND
 IN C0GNAC BOTTLE
(By Associated Press)

There's hint of possible tragedy in the discovery of a cog nae bottle that apparently floated across the Pacific Ocean.
 The bottle was found on a beach at Oysterville. Wash, and inside was a Russian message which Port land translaters believe came from prisoner on his way to Siberia. Russian teachers in Portland MT. and Mrs. Boris Milski, de- ciphered one sentence to read Michael Goreff went with the ship Chukaeka to Vladivostok from 8 little harbor called Nageva."
 They also made out enough other words to express the belief that the note had been written by a prisoner on his way to Siberia who hoped the bottle would bt found by someone who would no- tify his relatives. The note was dated two years ago.
 The Milskis might have found cut more if they could have taken the note out of the bottle. But MT and Mrs. Theodore Butzer oi Portland, who found the bottle, didn't want to break it. They asked the Milskies to read the part that was legible through the glass, and they hope to work the note out through the bottletop later

 Stephens, Williams, Dropo and Doerr; shed a tear for the BrCwns- 29-4.
 Fans will long remember the de- vastating 29-4 romp of June 8, 1850. How the muscular Boston Red SoX htmbled the poor little boys from St Louis. A few lines in the record books will note the route tor pos terity.
 Not since the gay 90s of bicycles built for two and mustache cups has a major league club rolled up such a total. All scoring marks, except an ancient 1897 symbol, were smudled from the books by the Samsons ot Fenway Park.
 But hold, before you rush World Series orders to the Red Sox front officel Boston still is third in the American League, four full games behind the leading New York Yan- kees. And precedent is all against them.
 Not a single club that ever hung a scoring record in the book won a pennant. Not even the Chicago team that scored 36 runs against Louisville, June 29, 1897, in Ma tional League game.
 Modern Records
 Take the modern records, smashed by the SoX in yesterdays gallop. The majors old modern tsince 1900) mark was 28 runs scored by the St. Louis Cardinals on July 6, 1929, in the second game of a double header with the Phillies. The Cards wound up fourth as the Cubs won the flag.
 Bobby Doerr hit three home runs and drove home eight runs in yes terday's slaughter. Ted Williams and Walt Dropo each had two. The total of seven homers was only one short of the record.
 Even pitcher Chuck Stobbs joined the rioting with two singles and four walks while subduing the Browns with eight hits.
 Following Wednesdays 204 wrecking of St. Louis, the Sox boosted their scoring total to 104 runs in seven games in the past week. That's almost Is a game.
 Tigers Lose Again
 The Yankees, hardened to such news from Fenway, went out and hung another loss on the ambitious Detroit Tigers, blasting Art Houtte- man in a seven-run inning, to win 11-4 before 62,624. Now New York leads Detroit by 2la games Tommy Byrne did his usual job on Detroit for his 7th victory.
 Houtteman struck disaster sud- denly. He retired the first l3 batters in succession.
 Phil Rizzuto's 58-game errorless string, ai American League record. was broken when he fumbled Bob Swift's grounder in the sixth.
 Mickey Harris ninth-inning single, scoring Johnny Ostrowski, gave Washington a 7-6 edge over Cleveland.
 Alex Kellner survived a shaky three-run first inning to pitch

CHICAGO, June g - ii7 - Wes Westrum poled two homers today to pace a New York attack which carried the Giants to a 9-3 victory over Chicago and to their seventh triumph in a row. The win enabled the Giants to take over fifth place from the Cubs.
 NEW YORK, June 9-R-The De- troit Tigers struck back at the New York Yankees with two big innings today to trounce the league leaders, l3-7. The victory moved the Tigers t) within F games of the Yankees. A three-run triple by Gerry Priddy sparked a four-run second inning for Detroit and a similar swat with three on by Jimmy Lipon high lighted the Tigers eight run splurge in the sixth frame.
 Yankee pitcher Bob Portertield was struck by pitched ball in the seventh inning and taken to hos pital for X-ray examinations.
