Lefty Hal Newhouser, long the

staff, ran into heavy going in his

EN- ROUTE TO CHICAGO. May
is. Sam Mele was a sizzling
rookie with the Red Sox in l947
but he didn't do so well during
the next two seasons. Now he is
red hot again and this time the
Mats are benefiting.
Mele has been a prominent fig-
ure in Washington's surprise early
showing. The Mats have survived
in good style what was calculated
to be their toughest test Of the
season. battling the pennant-
hungry Yankees and Red Sox
nine times in their first % games
They divided four games with the
champions and won two out of
five with Boston.
After splitting a double-header
with the Red Sox yesterday at
Fenway Park. the Mats still are
two games above the 500 mark,
It's more than they had hoped
for and it's with mounting con-
fldence that they invade the West
for a l0-game trip.
Mele represents one of the rea-
sons the Mats are optimistic about
the developments which find them
in the first division. Sam supplied
four hits as the Mats mauled five
Boston pitchers for 10 hits and a
1915 victory in the second game
after taking an 81 whipping in
the opener.
.545 for Last 6 Games.
Same is hitting 1878 for the sea-
son and in his last six games has
compiled a remarkable .545 aver
age with IL hits in % attempts. II
could be the quiet, encouraging
attitude of Manager Bucky Harris
is helping Mele fulfill the promise
he displayed as rookie.
Mele batted 1902 under Joe
Cronin in l947. but slumped badly
when Joe Mccarthy took over as
Boston's manager in 1948. There
was a report of an exchange of
heated words between Mele and
Mccarthy. Sam. used Sparingly
skidded to .233 in l948 and was
traded to the Mats last year. He
batted only .235 in 1949.
The sensitive Mele is a type to
respond to Harris pat-on-the-
back method of handling most
players. Thus far. anyway. the
combination is clicking and Sam
has become a fixture in the Mats
outfield.
He blasted two doubles and two
singles in smashing four successive
hits in the second game at the
Mats unleashed their biggest at
tack of the year.
The Mats spurted into a 80
lead in the third inning on Gil
Coan's double. a walk to Ed
Stewart, Eddie Robinson's triple
and Mele's single. but Walt Dropo
tied the score in the fourth with
a three-run homer off Dick Weik.
Washington gave Weik a 9-3
lead in the fifth inning when Al
Papai and Charley Schanz were
dubbed for seven hits, but Dick
showed signes of blowing that
margin in the seventh when the
Red Sox scored twice and filled
the bases with two out.
Marrero Does It Again.
Connie Marrero. who relieved
Weik with a 81 count on Bobby
Doerr, completed the job of walk
ing him but then fired a third
strike past the dangerous Dropo.
The only Boston player to reach
base off Marrero in the last two
innings was Ken Keltner, whose
grounder took a freak hop past
Third Baseman Eddie Yost for a
single.

CRESWELL, England, Sept. 90
PA raging underground fire
trapped and killed at least 80 men
today at the Creswell coal mine.
Caught behind a wall of flame
from burning rubber and timber
roof supports, they were choked to
death by gas and fumes.
Another 100 men crept to safety
on their hands and knees.
An official death list issued this
afternoon contained 80 names.
Earlier, estimates of the toll had
ranged from SO to 80.
Smoke and intense heat drove
back rescuers and hope for the
trapped men was abandoned at
/ pm. when the fire had been
burning for nine hours.
The decision to give up rescue
attempts and seal off the burning
section of the mine was announced
by Sir Hubert Houldsworth. chair
man of the East Midlands division
of the National Coal Board.
The flames broke out soon after
midnight in conveyor belt. The
mine has an elaborate network OF
more than Is miles of such belts
one of them 1882 yards long-to
carry coal from the coal face to
the main shaft.
1t was Britain's second coal mine
disaster in recent weeks. Thirteen
men were killed and 116 others were
entombed for two days before they
were rescued after a cave-in Sept.
8 near New Cumnock, Scotland.

Though undue emphasis may be
placed on failures of the United

to the fact that the proposal for

with the Korean situation came
from the United States delegate
