Red Sox And Yankees Win Victories To Keep Pennant Hopes Alive

By The Canadian Press

Boston Red 50x and New York Yankees yesterday postponed the fatal American League reckoning by winning victories to cut Cleve- land Indzans‘ lead to I l-2 games.

The Sox and Yanks clash Saz- urday and Sunday lll their final two games while Cleveland, idle yesterday. has three more. all ggaimt Detroit.

In the latest desperate drive to catch the Indians, Boston ham- mered Washlngihn 7-3 and New York otitscrambled Philadelphia 9-7.

The Cleveland-Detroit series should-be a hum-dingcr. Although the Bengals haven't done so well this season. they are always dan- gerous and pi. hing plus hitting could make it tough for the Tribe. Just the same. Cleveland needs only one more victory. no matter what happens to the 'Scx and Yanks, to lie the final standings.

only 41KB. ihc smallest Fenwtty crowd of the season, watched Bos- ton's home finale with washing- ton.

They didn't sec much. It was lust another ball came bet-ween the sluggers from Fenway and the woeful Senators. who won only two games here all season and only seven of 22 in the season leries.

Early Wynn. an easy mark for the Sox all season. lived up to his reputation, yielding 13 of the l5 hits before he was replaced by Sid Hudson in the fifth.

The 50x cccnbed him for five hits in the second inning. He es- caped with only two runs because Billy Goodman hit into a double

play and Vern Stephens struck out with the bases full. New York came near blowing

mo decision after they apparently had it wrapped up behind lefty Ed Lopavs southpaw curves. They led 8-0 after two frames and went into the ninth with a com- fortable 9-6 bulge, yet it took flout-hearted flinging by Vic Raschi in the closing moments to avert disaster.

Lopat. going for his 17th vic- tory of tho year, had one aiway in the ninth when Don White beat. out a hit. When Ferrt Fain followed with a sitar-p shot to right field, Bucky Harris relieved the lefty and brought in Prank (Spec) Shea from the bullpen.

It nearly proved a. fatal mistake. Shea, who had ngt worked since Qopt. 10 because of a. lame arm. walked Hank Majeski on four straight pitches to fill the sacks and then ran up a count of 3-1 on Elmer Valo before he found himself yanked for Raschi.

Ralchi’: first toss was a. ball. dancing in White with the run that made the score 9-7 and leaving the bases loaded with Athletics. Then, while the 1,231 fans pleaded for a hit. Sam Chap- man swung vigorously at a. third strike and Buddy Rosar lifted an easy fly to right to end it.

In Detroit, the Tigers finished otf their homo season with a 7-2 victory over St. Louis Browns on Teddy Gray's seven-hit pitching

A mild controversy. which is I reminder that the winter season approaches, has risen between Dick Irvin of Montreal Canadians and Frank Boucher of the New York Rangers over the type of hockey played today compared to yester- year.

. a - .

The New York mentor takes is- sue with the desire of Irvin to stop the scramble-type hockey b91112 played at present, "It would dead- en the game; the fans would boo us out of the arena." the affable

Bouchei- told Norman (GP) Alt- stedter. .

- . . o While relaxing Tuesday near

the Blueshirts‘ Saranac Lake, N.Y., training camp, Boucher expressed doubts that the Habitant coach will continue with his plan to per- mit only three of his Canadiens to cross the centre-line red line into the opposing team's half of the rink. o - .

Irvin tried the new style out at the Canadiens’ St. Hyadnthe. Que. training camp and it was reported onlookers as well as the coach were impressed. “That style might have some success for the first l5 games of the season but then everybody would catch on and the Canadiens’ wouldn't have a chance," said Boucier who has tried a few new tricks in his 2'7 years in professional hockey.

a o -

And he contends there is noth- ing new in Irvin's Ideas. In fact, he says, it would be only a. return to the type of hockey played be- fore power plays became the vogue late in the 1900s. Boucher, who centred the famous line which in- cluded the immortal Bun and Bill Cook. reminisced that in the old days defence men rarely came for- ward.of centre ice - but there was no rule against them doing 50.

O I O

Rovers and Anchors will rencw their series for the City League baseball championship Saturday afternoon. A best out of five ser- ies the Anchors won the opening encounter. The third game will be played Sunday afternoon should there be no scheduled Junior tilt.

I O O

It may be slow sometimes, but history has a. way of repeating. says Bill (Ottawa Journal) West- wick, and in Boston these days there is good reason for followers of the nowly-crovmed champion Braves barking back to the late George Stallings’ miracle team of 1914. The 1914 Braves and this year's edition won in different fashion, but in some respects their triumphs bear n. similar stamp.

O O O

Stalllngs’ team of 1914 came from last place in mid-July to stage a rampaging rush to the wire with 84 victories and 59 losses. This year’ Boston team had a. better deal than that. ‘There was one stage when they were on top by eight games only to have the lead carved down until they trailed Brooklyn by 1 1-2 games.

O O O

However. when it comes to pitching, both Staliings and South- worth had moundsmen that came trmugh for them. 'I‘he names of Dick Rudolph and Bill James, of the old “lvflracle Team", still stand out in this department. Be- tween them they accounted for a total of 53 pitching wins before the Braves went into the 1014 world series for that memorable sweep against Philadelphia Ath- letics.

O O O

The work of Stalliflfl‘ old squad may have been great, but Q pitching performances of Johnny 5min and Warren Spahn. of this year's club, have been re- markable in many ways. They

can't equal the games-won record

Jenkins Will Defend Title At Forum Tonight

"Jenks" Jenkins. the Campus Kid, arrived in the City yesterday afternoon from Wolfville to defend his Island heavywdght crown to- night against “Big Boy" Peterson at the IPorum. Jenkins is attending Acadia University.

Both boys are reported in ex- cellent shape_ and each expressed confidence as to the outcome of the fight. Jenkins is determined to prove that the decision he gained over Peterson in winning the title last June was no mere fluke, but that he is the better man, Peter- son has everything to gain in the return encounter and has been looking forward keenly to the contest in order to redeem himself in the eyes of his friends and supporters.

The keen rivalry between the two “hesvies" is only matched by the mounting interest in the bout. The rival camps are both unper- turbed by the differences of opin- ion among fight farts and feel that their own man has enough of what it takes to come out on top.

In addition to the main attrac- tion there is the Lund-Steele en- gagement which by many is re- garded a threat to steal the spot- light on the night's card. The fighters are evenly matched and on previous occasions turned in crowd pleasing performances. They are both good boxers and have shown no hesitation of going in and mixing it,

Three other bouts will make-up what. many feel will be an action- fllled card. The bouts get under- way at 9 o'clock.

London Doctor Says European Athletes Doped

LONDON. Sept. 30 ——(AP) — A prominent London doctor said co- day, that some continental Europ- ean athletes during the summer Olympic games were stimulated by drugs. much in the manner of race horses.

Dr. Christopher Woodward. director of the Athletics’ clinic at London's Middlesex Hospital, ex- onerated all British and North American athletes.

When he was asked what speci- fic events he referred to, Dr. Wood- ward replled "to sports in general and cycling in particular.”

The 34-year-old physician, an official medical adviser to the British Olympic team, first w:ore of the drug-taking in a letter to the magazine Cycling.

Today he told a reporter: "I’m sick of this dirty business. It's time it came out."

“It is my own personal opinion that this drug-taking. by others. was a very large factor in Britain's not achieving Olympic or world honors this year."

Dr. Woodward said in his letter to Cycling:

"1 became very suspicious that. some competitors were receiving artificial stimulants at the Olympic games...however, I could not find definite proof of what I suspected. so at that time I kept an open mind on the subject.

“Two or thrqe weeks later. how- ever, I was able to see things at closer range at the world's cycling championships at Amsterdam. where I spent some of my time on the inside of the track.

“Very few people other than our own teaim knew who I was. Imag- ine my surprise, thereforewhena garrulous foreigner very surreptit- iously tried to show me his pet concoction of strychnine, caffeine and benzedrine. .

“One of our team came up Io me while at Amsterdam and asked me why he should not take such drugs."

Dr. Woodward snld he told the British athlete "nothing whatever justifies" it.

The outcome of tonight's game makes at least two more contests necessary before Montreal's oppon- ent in the Little World Series ls determined.

LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Sept. 30- (CP)-—All but a few of the mem- bers of New York Rangers have been linked to 1948-49 contracts, manager Frank Boucher said to- day. Boucher would not disclose the unsigned members but hinted they would be In the fold in “a very few days."

MONTREAL, Sept. 30 - (f?) - Joltln‘ Johnny Greco of Montreal. Canadian welterweight champion, tonight soorui a technical knock- out over fellow townsman Gus (Pell) Mell 1n the fifth round of a. scheduled IO-round non-title, over- weight mutch that drew 9.000 fans to the Forum. Greco weighed 150, Mell 149%.

The end came at 1:54 of the fifth heat as Mell went down for the third time in the round and the referee called a halt after the count had reached three. A bone- crushlng right under the heart was the finisher. but by that time Mell was nearly out on his feet and unable to cope with Green's bull-like rushes. ,

Griffinbown Gus hit the deck first just after the fifth round started from a stinging right up- percut, took the mandatory count of eight, and got up only to run into a series of Greco left jabs that snapped his head back and he sank to the canvas again for an- other eight count,

From there on it was strictly no contest and after sinking to hi: knees for the third time, referee Bobby Leitham started a count but saw that Mell was helpless and awarded the welter champ a T.K.O.

The first two rounds were even, but in the third Greco, a vetezan of 11 main bouts in Madison Square Garden and a master at infighting, started catching the Montreal Irish battler off balance with long left hooks that opened up Mail's defence for solid right-hand shots to the head.

In the three other matches. all 10-rounders. Fernando Gagnon of Quebec, Canadian bantamweight holder, earned the nod over Aponte Torres of Puerto Rico: Jean Rich- ard of Montreal, Canadian feather- weight champ, unanimously decis- ioned Luis Ramos of Puerto Rico and Gaby Ferland of Montreal, won over Joey Peralia of Philo- delphia.

Gagnon, entering the ring at 122 pounds compared with 125 l-2 for Torres. took a close decision in a hard-fought contest in which neither fighter gave an inch.

Richard. 127, won handily over Ramos 124 1-2, while Pei-land, 146 1-2. gave the game ‘Mexican Per- alta. 151, a thorough golngover.
