brakes still more. the pedal went
to the floor with no results. BY
that time the car was heading

with a single to left. Floyd
Baker. a third-base replacement

Tom Umphlett's grounder to fill
the bases and Vollmer smashed
a single to center, scoring Yost.
When Busby attempted to score
he was wiped out on Jim Pier
sails fine throw to the plate.
Roy Sievers chased Karl Olson
back to the left-f1eld wall, where
the Red Sox outfielder dropped
the ball after fighting the fence
and the wind. Umphlett and
Vollmer scored on the double
and Hoderlein scored Sievers
with a single to center.
Boston obtained its lone run
in the third inning after Good
