Ted May Pinch Hit
This Week End and
Go West With Club
BY the Associoted Press

BOSTON, May 4.-There's bad
news sweeping out Of the Ameri-
can League cellar. Bad news,
that is, for seven of the leagues
clubs.
Ted Williams may be able to
pinch hit for the Red Sox this
week end and he may be able to
bring his bat along when the Sox
begin their first Western swing
May II.
The rangy slugger worked out
with the Red Sox squad for the
first time yesterday as rain
limited the of f-day session to a
drill in Harvard's indoor batting
cage.
Williams took full cuts at the
pitches of Tom Brewer, Bill
Henry and Tom Herrin and the
softer offerings of Coach Paul
Schreiber. Observers noted he
did not once favor his injured
shoulder. Manager Lou Boudreau
was enthusiastic.
"I've never seen him swing any

Eisenhower Given
Gold Pass by Giles

President Eisenhower today
got solid gold lifetime pass to
National League baseball games
which he has little opportunity
to see now.
Warren c. Giles, president Of
the National League, presented
the pass at the White House.
He said it was the first lifetime
National League pass ever given
a President. Along with it was
a season pass for Mrs. Eisen-
hover. Giles said she would get
one every year if she wanted it.
Giles said he told Gen. Eisen-
hover he thought baseball was
an appropriate recreation for a
President, because he could see
and hear the public criticize UNI
pires even when they are right"
"Those are words of WISDOM"
ne said the President replied.
Giles said the President now
gets little chance to see National
League games and so probably
has a tendency" toward favor-
ing American games in Wash-

The White Sox are making
every effort to run off and hide
from the Yankees in the Amer
lean League pennant race, and
for a change they're getting some
help.
For more seasons than they
care to remember. rivals have
found out the hard way that no
team can beat the Bronx Bomb
ers all by itself. The New York
ers always discovered a cousin
or two-teams they could whip
with ease while the contenders
were busy battering each other
out of the pennant race.
But not so far in 1854. Every
team the Yanks have played has
beaten them at least once. And
they've played every team in the
league except Baltimore. The
Orioles were scheduled to open a
three-game series in New York
today by sending Bob Turley
against Tom Morgan, but the
game was postponed.
Meanwhile, the White Sox
have recovered from three quick
losses at the start of the season
and have won IL of their last
Is games. They lead the league,
holding one-game margin over
the surprising Tigers and four
game edge over the Yankees.
From start to finish a year
ago, the Yankees never were
more than one game out of first
place.
Surprising Pitching.
In addition to the pleasure OF
having the other teams beat the
Yankees, the White Sox have
received phenomenal pitching
from unexpected sources and ex-
cellent hitting from a couple OF
fellows who have to produce to
keep the pennant threat alive.
Johnny Groth, a .253 weakling
with the Browns last year. is
leading the White Sox with a
1854 average. Ferris Pain, who
followed two straight batting
championships with a miserable
.256 performance last season, is
hitting 1923.
Bob Keegan, Sandy Consuegra
and Don johnson have accounted
for seven victories without be-
ing beaten. Johnson, failure
with the Yankees and Senators,
is a fugitive from Toronto. Kee-
gan and Consuegra had a COM
bined 1858 record of 14-10.
Perfect Game Until Seventh.
Consuegra, another ex-Sena-
tor. won his second one yester-
day. Despite the 14-3 score
against the Athletics, he gave up
only two hits. a bunt single and
a windbloWn double, both by
Forrest (Spook) Jacobs.
Consuegra had a perfect game
working until Jacobs got his
double with one out in the sew
enth.
The Cardinals beat the Giants
80. last night in the only other
activity in either league. 1t was
too cold at Milwaukee for Brook
lyn to play the last-place Braves
and it was too wet in Washing
ton for the Senator's game with
Cleveland.
The three Philadelphia runs
against Consuegra came in the
ninth inning on a walk and an
error. followed by Jacobs bunt
which Consuegra threw into
rightf1eld, permitting two run
ners to score. Then Jacobs
scampered home after a sacri-

The Detroit Tigers for instance. In
Florida the Tigers were looking like the
worst American League club in training.
They were lack-luster on paper and lacking
signs of life on the field. The temptation to
pick the Tigers for the cellar proved too
much for some of the experts.
Now the Tigers are close to the top, with
the Yankees in the second division and the
Boston Red Sox in the cellar. There are
excuses for the Red Sox. They lost Ted
Williams and, later, Mel Parnell But what
are the reasons for the Tigers?

If they believe Manager Paul
Richards pennant prediction
for them, move into Griffith Sta
dium tonight determined to pro-
long the Senators agony.
The league leaders, capitaIiz-

lowed only five runs in five
games, will fire accomplished
Billy Pierce against Maury Nc
Dermott, a 81 loser to the Ori-
oles in his last start when Shod-
dy fielding sabotaged him.
Beaten five straight times and
awaiting a deal which could
tighten their leaky infield, the
Senators wouldn't feel inclined
to leap from high bridges if pre-
dicted cold weather. postpones
the opener of the three-game
series. The temperature is sup
posed to dip near 40 tonight.
Pierce. an 18-game winner last
season, has lost three of his four
starts, but the Senators can dis
cover no reason for elation.
Against them, he's rugged. He
required only 1928 innings last
season to achieve three victories
over Washington before losing
80 decision to Bob Porterfield.
The White Sox lefthander
picked up two triumphs over the
Senators in relief roles, requir-
ing only 225 innings to admin
lister those defeats. Then he un-
leashed 2-hitter to edge Johnny
Schmitz, 10.
SOx Tough for Maury.
McDermott, also an 18-game
winner last year, didn't construct
that total at the expense of the
White Sox. Chicago was the
only team he didn't beat en-
route to his finest season, and he
lost three decisions to the White
Sox.
Richards has his pitching
aligned to give the light-hitting,
jittery-fielding Senators a tough
time. Available for tomorrow
night and Thursdays games are
Bob Keegan and Virgil Trucks,
but it will come as no surprise
if Harry Dorish gets a call. Dor
ish owes his livelihood to the
Senators, possessing 1874 life
time mark against them.
Pitching has catapulted the
White Sox to the top. In their
last five games they've received
shutout pitching from Keegan,
Trucks and Don johnson, who
couldn't win for the Senators
but is a standout in two starts
for Chicago.
Yield 18 Runs in 8 Games
Dorish lost a 81 verdict to
the Athletics, but yesterday the
White Sox got another sparkling
performance from ex-senator
Sandy Consuegra. He limited
the AS to two hits as Chicago
swamped Philadelphia, 14-3, and
all runs against him were un-
earned.
White Sox pitching has per-
mitted only 18 runs in the last
nine games. After dropping their
first three games the White Sox
have spurted to win IL of their
last Is.
Rained out of a date with
Cleveland last night the Senators
are hopeful of quick recovery
from their slump. They have a
swarm of players hitting less
than 200, but despite their
scarcity of hits they'd be near
the top if their fielding had been
more polished.
The Senator's bosses are cog
nizant that the team is likely to
split at the seams unless they
swing deal Immediately, and
they're attempting it. Clark
Griffith, Calvin Griffith and
Manager Bucky Harris conferred
at length about the situation
yesterday.
Calvin anticipates action with

Yankees.

terest many persons. Through
the cooperation of Miss Connie

From Heaven" on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, June 1928.
In spite of its worth the pic
ture was accorded little more
than ordinary attendance when
it was at Gaithersburg in March.
1t is not a sermon but a picture
of religion in life, that will inter
est anybody and will satisfy
both the most enthusiastic movie
fan and the church member who
holds h m If aloof. Besides
being a benefit performance, the
Flower Hill men are anxious for
everybody who possibly can to
see the film and get the good
from it. 1t is great help to all,
church members, non church
members and anti-church people;
to Christianity in the family and
also in the church. The clergy
unanimously recommend it as
very much worth while.

If refrigerators are temporari-

2. Turn the box with the door
