old teammaters, the Indians.
! The Boston club must face the
\ Clevelanders in two afternoon
games, as today's' scheduled meet
ing was rained out.
The Red Sox were supposed te
fold this trip, but they haven't
They've won four and lost two
and since Steve took over as man.
ager they have won Is and lost
Is road games.
Until June %, when Joe Nc
Carthy ran. the team, Boston's
record was IL road victories this
season out of 81 games. Last year
the Red Sox road record was 35.4G
and in 1948, 41-36.
But O'Neill insists that Nc
Carthy handed him the "best
team in the land" ...-
What happened was that we
have since found a stopper" he
s continued. And that's Ellis
Kinder as a relief pitcher. ]
don't know where we'd be without
Kinder. He's made all the diff
ference.
Kinder Saves 8 or 9 Games.
"In the last few weeks, Kinder
has saved eight or nine games for
us. If could only come up with
i another pitcher, we'd breeze in"
O'Neill tomorrow probably will
rely on Chuck Stobbs Q1-6), who
had been slated to pitch today,
then gamble on Harry Taylor, a
right-hander purchased yesterday
from st. Paul.
Cleveland Manager Lou Bou-
dreau had selected Bob Lemon
GOLD to pitch today and Early
Wynn tomorrow. Lemon has en-
countered rough going lately but
he hasn't lost to the Red Sox
this year.
After Cleveland comes the vital
two-day set with the Yankees in
New York Saturday and Sunday.
But Boston isn't looking that far
ahead.
Kinder Again Saves Game.
1t was Kinder again who saved
the big one" against Detroit in
the ninth yesterday just as he did
the day before. On the strength
of those great rescues the Red
Sox won them both, 80, and
today rested in second place, a
game behind the pace-setting
Yanks and half length in front
of Detroit.
1t was the fifth time in the last
five days that O'Neill waved the
I36-year-old Arkansas native to
come in and stop EN-"
Yesterdays call was lucky
one. Maybe Dame Fortune will go
all the way with the Red Sox
this time.
II wanted to give him the day
off," said Steve. IT knew he
was tired and I told him he could
have the day Off"
The Kinder of pre-ONeill days
would have scooted off posthaste.
But not the current eager beaver.
No he says to me- Steve
said" You might need me.
think I can work an inning
for YOU"
He did-and what an inning!
The Red Sox had roared from
behind 81 count to score twice
in the ninth for a 80 lead.
ONeill Yanks Nixon.
Rookie Willard Nixon, who had
pitched fine six-hit ball in a duel
with Detroit's Hal Newhouser,
pitched three straight balls to
Leadoff Man Joe Ginsberg. That
was all for Nixon.
Bring in Kinder" called
O'Neill.
Kinny pumped in two strikes,
but finally walked Ginsberg. He
was the last Tiger to get on.
Pinch-Hitte Pat Mullin sacri-
feed, but another sub swinger,
Charley Keller. popped out and
then Gerry Priddy grounded out.
Billy Goodman. Boston's league
leading hitter, started off the win
ming rally in the ninth with a
sinele. Ted Williams got an in
field hit. When Newhouser threw
wild past first, Goodman went to
third. Obviously disturbed, New
houser took a full windup on Vern
Stephens and Williams stole sec
ond.
Out came Newhouser and in
stepped Hal White. White inten-
tionally passed Stephens to load
the bases. Walt Dropo singled to
score Goodman with the tying
run. Bobby Doerr flied deep to
center to bring home Williams
with the winning run.
Raschi to Face White Sox.
The Yanks will call on their
ace, Righthander Vic Raschi GO
81. to face Bob Cain GID in a
Chicago night contest. Detroit
will use its No. l finger, Art Hout-
teman Q8-1D, against Hank
Wyse (8-13) of the Athletics.
Boston-Detroit was the only
game in the American League yes
terday. There weren't too many
games in the National, either.
Chicago beat Brooklyn, 81, and
New York routed st. Louis, 1870.
Ron Northey's pinch homer with
the bases loaded in the seventh
ruined Brooklyn and overshad-
owed a three homer performance
by the Dodgers Tom Brown.
Larry Jansen's two-hit pitching
was backed by a 13-hit New York
barrage against St. Louis hurting
It was Jansen's fifth whitewash
job and his 18th victory against
IL defeats. The win moved the
fourth-place Giants within a half
game of third -p1ace Rrooklvn
