: Chicago Sox Defeat Yanks s • In 10 Innings I- i Washington Moves Into Virtual Tie For League Lead New York. May 19. (I'Pt Tile 1 evidence isn't all In as yet, but there was growing support today . for the argument that the New Yot k Yankees may miss their lionhearted relief pitcher, Fordham Johnny Murphy, more than any other player they have sent to the wars before the current baseball ) season is ov‘-r. Murphy, who elected to help in the home front battle in a New York war plant, long was regarded 1 a- the premier relief pitcher of the big leagues, an<l was regarded by manager Joe McCarthy as IrreI placeable. Yesterday’s S to 4. 10 Inning de feat at tile hands of the Chicago White Sox. illustrated that the Yankee have no top flight relief flinger who can go in and stop the enemy cold In the manner of Ford ham Johnny. New York had the game on Ice 4 to 3 going into the ninth when starter Ernie Bonham served uji his second home run ball of the game which Wally .Moses "bleach- 1 ered” to tie the score. Hal Trosky previously had homered for the visiting White Sox in the eighth Came the loth and that was where Murphy was infused. Relief pitcher Emerson Roser tilled the bases and outfielder Thurman Tucker emptied them for him with a triple, the Sox scoring four times before, the smoke cleared. I The Washington Senators, behind the steady pitching of Emil' "Dutch" Ix-onard, moved Into a virtual first place tie with the Yankees by winning a home night game from Cleveland 4 to 2. It was Leonard's third victory without a defeat. Rufus Gentry of the Detroit Tigers didn't outpitch Don Black of the Philadelphia Athletics, but he kept his nine hits so scattered they were harmless and gained a 1 to <1 shutout. Black held the Tigers to three hits, but they got two of them in one inning. Gentry driving in the winning run with a single. The Boston Red Sox made 15 hits to defeat the St. Louis Browns 12 to 1 and rush them from second to third place in the American. Lefthander Owcar Judd held the Browns to five hits to register his I first victory. Al Javery. strong candidate for I "hard luck player of the year" lost his fifth straight game for the Bos- - ton Braves, a two hitter to the Gat’d* at St. Louis, 2 to 0. George Munger, giving up five hits, won 1 his second straight shutout for the Cards. Ken Raffensherger won his fourth against one defeat by pitching the Philadelphia Phils to a 2 to 0, three hit shutout at Cincinnati. The Brooklyn Dodgers had a three hit shutout going into the ninth at Pittsburgh when Fraul? (Rube) Melton had one of his typical blow-ups and the Pirates scored four times to win 4 to 3. It was .Melton’s third straight defeat. New York at Chicago in the Nat1 the Yellow Jackets basketball schedule, replacing Fort Wayne Central.
