Bauer, who made seven consecu-
tive hits in two games, finally was
stopped in the seventh inning.
The one-bagger by DiMaggio
marked the ninth straight game
he has opened by getting on base.
The only other Boston player
to reach base was Ted Lepcio on
an error by Phil Rizzuto in the
fifth. It was the Yankee short
stops first miscue of the season.
The defeat, Boston third straight
at Yankee Stadium, dropped the
Red Sox into third place, 10 per-
centage points behind Washington.
Some of the edge was taken
of Reynolds performance by the
fact the Red Sox played the game
under protest from the second
inning on. The protest was lodged
after Umpire Jim Honochick
called GiH McDougald safe on
grounder to Jim Pearsall. Bos-
ton shortstop.
Piersall's throw pulled First
Baseman Billy Goodman OF the
base, but Goodman appeared to
have tagged McDougald in time
for the putout. Piersall was
tossed out of the game for pro-
testing too vigorously.
Says He Didn't See Tag.
Honochick told Manager Lou
Boudreau he didn't see the tag
and Boudreau asked him to con-
fer with the other umpireS on the
ground that one of them might
have seen it and would reverse
the decision. Honochick refused
to appeal to the others and it
was on this ground that Bou-
drcau announced the protest.
The Detroit Tigers snapped
their seven-game losing streak,
nipping Chicago, 2-1, after the

Detroit run in the eighth. A

Ginsberg's fly had tied the game
at IL in the seventh. Ted Gray
yielded five hits in besting Marv

Minnie Minoso's two-run homer
and strong relief pitching by Saul

the White Sox, twice retired
George Kell, Detroit's top hitter,
with the bases loaded.

the Dodgers since September is,
1948, as he entered the last half
of the ninth with a 80 lead. He
