SEPTEMBER 27. 1949

_Well. the football season will def- initely get underwzty here on Sat- urday when the first game of the

methods of scoring, will be com- pi-led on the basis of one point for a win and 1-2 point for a tie, mak- ing six points the maximum total that any one team could ring up. although this is very unlikely, if we take last year's series as an ex- ample. when there was a lot of hair-splitting on points to decide the final winner. O O O The series will no doubt produce the same high calibre of rugged. keenly contested ball that always comes with the meetings of these same three teams year after year. and although little is known of the Mainland rosters at the moment, it can be depended upon that both will be turning out top-flight teams as in previous years, with probably many of their former "gridiron mentors" back in uniform again this season. O As far as ‘he Saints are concom- ed. they are expected to field an- other strong aggregation again this year, and although they have lost some of the starry backfield they had last year, they have all of last season's hard hitting forward line back on the lineup. And with a good stock of new prospects on hand for coach A. .l. McAdam to whip into shape lo fill in the gaps in the backfield, there is no reason to believe that they will be any- thing other than the same fast. hard-fighting aggregation they proved to be last season. O O

Although the postponement of the inierscholastic track and field meet from last Saturday to the coming Saturday was a bit dis- appointing for both athletes and

NEW YORK, Sept. 26-(AP)-— The brawny men of Boston finally

they stormed into the American League lead with a 7-6 triumph over New York Yankees, on a four-run blast against fireman Joe in the eighth inning. Breaking a first-place tie with the Yanks, the Sox exploded two big, innings for their 10th straight victory. For the first time this lesson the Yanks now are out of the lead.

From now on the Yanks play at home, three with Philadelphia and a final pair with Boston Satur- day and Sunday. The Sox close it out on the road, three at Wash- ington, starting tomorrow night, and the final two at the Yankee Stadium.

The mighty Sox, with the lead- ing batsmen, home-run hitter and runs-batted-in ace ln their line- up, had to resort to the squeeze play to eke out this all-important victory.

Bobby Doerr’: squeeze bunt to first-baseman Tommy Henrich moved Johnny Pesky home with the tie-breaking run against Page.

Almost everything that could happen dld happen during the nerve-wracklng, three-hour-and-IB- minute thriller as the Yanks re- covered from a three-run Boston first inning to move out front with four in the fourth.

Adding to their advantage in the sixth and seventh, they crumbled in the big eighth as Page lost his fourth straight bull game, It was Joe's third failure within n week.

For a time it apeared that lefty Page, the capable rellefer, was en route to another of his sparkling performances. Coming in to replace Red Sandford in the fifth he sailed through the sixth and seventh without trouble. The end came suddenly and he wasn't all to blame.

A line drive single by Dom Dl- Maggio that Phil Rlzzuto wasn't nble to hold, following a single by Birdie Tebbets and n walk to pinch-hitter Lou Stringer yvns the telling blow.

Only one run scored on Maggie's hit, but it might have been a double or even a triple play. Thai. was how close it was to an oui.

Pesky rolled the ball toward George Stirnweiss but the second- haseman's error let Stringer score. Now it was 6-5. The “Williams
