Dobson Again Stars
In Relief as Red Sox
Survive Tiger Rally
BY the Associated Press

Joe Dobson who has won four
victories with complete games, also
is proving to be an invaluable asset
to the Boston Red Sox in a relief
role. The smooth operating red
head did it again yesterday as the
Red SoX outlasted the Detroit
Tigers, 1912, knocking them out
of first place tie with the New
York Yankees. The victory put
Boston within three percentage
points of the now second-place
Tigers and helped them gain a
half game on the idle Yankees.
The Red Sox piled up an ILL
lead, thanks to seven-run bar
rage in the fourth inning, but
the Tigers came back with six in
their half of the fourth. The
remainder of the scoring took
place in the final two innings with
the Red Sox picking up a run in
each frame and the Tigers scoring
three in the eighth and two in the
ninth.
Tight Spot i'm Ninth.
Detroit had runners on first and
third, two runs in and only one
out in the last inning but Dobson
buckled down. He got George
Kell to lift short fly to right
and then picked up Vic Wertz'S
smash off First Baseman Walt
Dropo's glove and threw him out
to end the game. Kell drove in
five runs for Detroit.
The Cleveland Indians shaded
the Philadelphia Athletics, 4-3,
winning in the ninth when Lou
Brissie walked Bob Kennedy with
the bases loaded to break a 3-3
tie. The loss was Brissie's sixth
against no victories.

lead over Brooklyn in the first six

The Dodgers won the three

clusters of runs in the last two in
ings.
The New York Giants trounced
the Chicago Cubs, 1914, in a game
called after six innings because of
rain. Monte Irwin, Negro rookie,
drove in five runs with a grand
slam homer and single. Al Walker
homered with the bases loaded to
account for all of Chicago's runs.
Scheduled games between Pitts

Highest Court Refuses
To Rule on District
Condemnation Claim

The law governing District
Government condemnation of
buildings regarded as unsanitary
has weathered an attack in the
Supreme Court.
The court, in effect, upheld the
present procedure, when it refused
yesterday to review claim by a
Washington woman that the
statute is unconstitutional. The
case was an appeal from a Dis
trict condemnation board order
affecting IL houses she owns in
Southwest Washington.
Miss Minnie Keyes, the prop
erty- contended that Con-
gress, in delegating power to the
board, failed to provide cl-sr and
sufficient standards for determin-
ing whether a building was un-
sanitary.
In other actions yesterday the
Supreme Court:
l. Was asked by a group Of
Georgia voters to invalidate
Georgia's county unit system of

counties as much as 122 times
more power per vote than it gives
urban counties.

conviction of a Quaker teacher,
Larry Cara, on charges of sdvis-
ing one of his students to refuse
to sign a draft card. Mr.. Cara
was sentenced to 18 months for
violation of a section of the Sc
