Haynes Hurls One-Hit Game For White Sox .New York, May 2 —(UP) —It was just a garden variety single and pitcher Joe Haynes of the Chicago White Sox never gave it a second thought as the ball whistled past his ears and into center field. That was in the third inning at Detroit yesterday, but before the finish that hit loomed bigger to Haynes than the mightiest home run ever smashed. For when it was all over and the White Sox were 5 to 0 winners over the Tigers, Haynes had come within just one pitch of turning in the first perfect no-hit game in the major leagues in exactly 23 years. And there was irony at every turn in his failure to achieve the greatest distinction that can come to a major league pitcher. . The author of the hit was his personal pal and ex-team mate, Jimmy (Skeeter) Webb, who couldn’t have picked a pitcher in either league that he would rather have spared such a disappointment. Webb, with the White Sox last year, came to Detroit in a trade that sent Joe Orengo to Chicago. It was on April 30 in 1922 that Charley Robertson, also a White Sox pitcher, dossed baseball's last perfect game and as was the case yesterday, the Tigers provided the opposition in a 2 to 0 Chicago victory. For Haynes, previously a nonentity in the majors, it was "just one of the breaks of baseball.” "I don't care too much as long as we won and since somebody had to get a hit. I’m glad it was Jimmy,” he said. It was the second one-hitter pitched in the majors this season. Hank Wyse of the Chicago Cubs turned back the Pittsburgh Pirates with a lone single last Saturday. Unlike Haynes, however, Wyse walked three batters and two others got on through errors. The victory. Haynes’ second Without a defeat, kept the White Sox in first place ahead of the idle New York Yankees in the American league. The Sox got only six hits themselves, scoring four runs in the fourth off starter Walt Wilson on a single, two triples, two walks and a balk. In the only other major league game yesterday, the Boston Red Sox won their fourth straight game, topping the visiting Washington Senators, 5 to 4. to qualify as baseball’s “hot and cold” club. The Red Sox, who dropped their first eight games, continued to get adequate pitching and timely hitting to prolong their streak on the right side of the books. The Senators got only four hits, three of them by George Binks.

Americans Plans On Islands Are Studied British And Soviet Delegates Wait Word San Francisco, May 2. —(UI’l British delegates to the United Nations conference today delayed. pending further advice from 14>ndon, approval of American plans to take over certain Pacific islands as permanent defense airports. Soviet delegates also were reported awaiting word from Mcecow. But China was understood to be ready to go along with the United States.| The method and machinery for handling such areas seized from the enemy is expected to be the next major issue to attract world attention here. Although there are some differences of opinion among the big four on peacetime methods of administering such areas, there is considerable hope that they will be able to get together on a single plan. If the, big four—United States, China, the Soviet Union and Great Britain—are unable to agree, others here may move in with a vatiety of plans of their own. That could lead to considerable debate and disagreement. The conference itself still is indulging in talk today after two plenary sessions yesterday in which heads of delegations continued their routine opening addresses. Cuba, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Venezuela were heard from last night and there will be another plenary session for speeches at 3:30 p. m. PWT today. Last night's plenary session began at 8:30 and adjourned at 10:14 PWT. Belgium, South Africa. Norway and Venezuela have been named respectively, to provide presidents for the four commissions among ■which conference work is to be divided. These commissions are: general provisions of the proposed international organization, general assembly, security council and the judicial organization. The four commission presidents will meet today to organize for business which Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., promises will continue from now on. The conference Is working against time now with Hitler and Mussolini reported dead and the inner Axis citadels mostly in rubble. Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov was expected to leave Friday for Moscow. Key British anil Canadian delegates were confrmved with imminent general elections at home. There were rumors at half hour intervals that Molotov had left. But he was on hand today to take his turn presiding over the plenary session. —o Hard Sense It was not the wine that made your head ache, but the sense that I put into it—Samuel Johnson.
