Only one of the Red Sox run; was earned. but. it Red 50x men were left on bases during the course of their triumph.

The Red Sox got. two unearned runs in the third after a. wtld throw by Luke Appling, scored a legitimate run in the sixth on successive singles by York, Hig. gins. Hal Wagner and Tex Hugh- sun. but their fourth run in the eighth resulted when Frankie Hayes fumbled Tommy McBride‘; sacrifice and a. subsequent sacrl. flce by Johnny Pesky and Ted Williams’ single brought the rnn home.

The Indians were held to five hit-s by rookie Bob Savage, the loser, and Toronto's Dick Fowler as Feller snuffed out every threat to win e hurling duel.

Only one Philadelphia runner. Elmer Valo. reached third base as Feller faced a total of 27 bat- ters in the tight contest. Detroit Tigers left stranded on the bases as Louis (Bobo) Newsom scattered eight hits in pitching Washington Sen- ators to a 1-0 win.

Pinch-hitter Cecil Travis‘ clean single to left in the seventh drove in Stan Pence with the only run of the game.

Detroit got eight scattered hits oil‘ Newsom-the same‘ number Washington collected of‘! Paul (Dizzy) Trout-but the Tigers could not hit with men on base as Bobo hung up his seventh victory of the yes-r.

Sandy-haired Hal has won 1B games and lost onl three for the best 1946 mark iii t e league. Arid, incidentally, that figure puts him far in front of his curve-balling record in '44 i\.I‘ld"§5'.

The 25-year-old mound ace had his best year in the majors in i944 when he hurled 29 victnries and suffered nine defeats. That year, through Julv i5, ziis record showed only l3 wins and five losses In 1945.

Graced by the best of racing weather and performing over a 300d track, the four classes gave the 2000 fans in attendance many a thrill as they came pounding down the stretch in blanket fin- ishes with the outcome being in doubt right to the wire. ‘
