Wolff, Nats' Hurler, Tosses One-Hit Game (New York. June 20 —(L’lP)- America’s number on G. 1. Joe, Gen. Dwight (Ike) (Eisenhower, sat in tile grandstand munching peanuts and applauding. On the field the ißravea squared off against the Giants in a relatively unimportant ball game and it was overshadowed for this occasion along with the red-hot major league pennant races. For on ibis day it mattered not Who won or even who played. What diil matter was that at the historic old Polo Grounds was being enacted the perfect symbol of what Eisenhower wnd the millions of G. I. Joes he represents, were and are fighting for — the great American general at the great American game. For the record, the Braves won the game. 5 to '2, extending the "jittera" slump of the Giants, who now have lost four straight, 10 out of I'2, and 17 out of 22 in one of the most colossal collapses of a contender in recent timed. Roger Wolff of the Senators pitched the sixth one-hit game of the season in beating his ex-mates, Philadelphia’s athletics at Washington, 6 to 0. IHe yielded only one walk and a blow over shortstop that Mai Peck stretched to a dibble by fast Ibase-running. iGood pitching also was the measure of difference as the Senators also took the second game, 5 to 3 on little Marino iPieretti’s aix-hitter. 'lt was Wolff’s seventh victory and ‘Pieretti’s sixth. The other one-hitters were pitched by Hank Wyse and Ily Vandenberg of the Cubs, Hal Newhouser of the Tigers, Dave iFerries of the Red Sox. and Joe Haynes of the White Sox. The Tigers stretched their American league lead to two games by beating the Indiana at Detroit, 4 to 3. Rudy York drove in two Tiger runs with a triple and scored another himself. Zeb -Eaton, with relief help, was the winner while Steve Grornek, who had beaten the Tigers twice before this season, was the loser. The Red Sox moved within half a game of the second place Yankees by beating them 1 to 0 at Boston a. iClem iftauetpann pitched his second straight tiiree-hit shutout and his fourth victory in a row. Earl 'Caldwell, 39-year-old right hander, won his first start of the season for the White Sox at Chica-

The Cincinnati Rede won their fifth extra-inning game in as many -tarts thia season, 1 to 0, in the 13th from the visiting Cardinals in a bitter battle of ex-Bostonians.

Considering the big leagues’ ordinary pitching, such established hitters as Boudi reau and Walker were expected to • create mayhem with their slugging. IWalker, here during the Dod- . gera recent western tour, remarked, > ‘T don't know what I’m doing , wroiig. l H’Ve tried everything. But 'I can’t find that touch.” A lefthanded hitter, Dixie borrow- ' ed a couple of 'bats from the Cubs i during the series and promptly i .broke loose with a flurry of hits which lifted him above the .300 . mark. Yet when he left Wriggley field he al*o left the charmed .300 : circle. (Boudreau’s slump is more understandable. It’s due to a late spring start and managerial woes. During I previous seasons, .however, he has never left his bench duties affect his field performances. o Home Runs Lombardi, Giants, 13. Dimaggio, Phillies, 11.

Today s Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O* o New York. June 20.—(UP)—The time was ripe today to give out with cheers instead of tears for the courageous comeback of Joe Cronin’s Boston Red Sox. Just in case it hasn't been noticed, the bat-happy belters from Beantown are playing the best baseball of any team in either major league since that day in April when they won their first game of the season after dropping eight straight. Everything went bad from the start for Cronin’s ciouters. In the midst of that losing streak he snapped an ankle bone in a slide at Yankee stadium and as he was carried away it appeared as if the Red Sox pennant chances were being toted out along with him. In addition to being probably the best infielder in the American Ueag!t“, he was a dependable hitter and as the team’s pilot was needed so badly he couldn’t be spared even until he could hobble with a cane without hurting its chances. So it was no surprise that the Red Sox floundered badly at the start, but it was pleasant to learn today that no team in either circuit, not even the amazing Dodgers, have won as consistently since April 28, the day that losing streak ended. The Red Sox, unlike nylons, are better when there are plenty of runs in them and they have been iqSre.qs qjjnoj stq 9bm -q oj j games—2B against 1G defeats—since that almost fatal start. They are leading the league in hitting with a .266 mark, which isn’t unexpected since in recent years they have depended on punching instead of pitching to get along. But what is an innovation is the fine brand of mound-work being turned out along with the slugging and without the usual

help from millionaire owner Tom Yawkey’s over-stuffed pocket-book. This time Yawkey is getting his fine pitching at “bargain-basement” rates. The etar of the cast and of the whole major league show, Dave (Boo) Ferriss, was overlooked and under-rated before manager Nemo Leibold of the Louisville farm club sent a nudging telegram urging Cronin to “take this boy.” Talent scouts for the Red Sox and other major league teams who flock to Ray Dumont’s annual semipro clam-bake in Wichita, Kan., like ante to a Sunday school picnic, didn’t give Ferriss a tumble when he appeared there in 1940 with the Mentor City, Miss., team. However, it was understandable because he lost his only game to the Natrona, Pa., team and was rapped more solidly than by most of the major league teams he has faced in winning nine games and Icking once. The latest star in the Red Sox firmament Is Clem Hausmann, fivefoot, nine-inch sprite, who pitched his second straight, three-hit shutout last night, beating the Yankees 1 to 0. It was iis fourth straight victory And gave the Red Sox revenge against Hank Borowy, the Yankee pitcher who tagged Ferriss with his only defeat. The only other consistent winner on the staff is Emmet O'Neill, who like Hausmann has won four and lost only once. Ferriw, O'Neill and Hausmann have won 17 of Boston’s 28 games and the rest of the victories are scattered among lesser lights. If that key trio can keep on winning and the others can pick up a scattering of victories, the Red Sox may be heard from later on. Right now they are half a game behind the Yankees in third place and they are playing winning ball. The Yankees aren’t.

President Truman On Visit To Northwest • Conference Speech Date Is Tentative Olympia, Wash. June 20—i(UP) — President Truman rested today in the northwest while awaiting word from San Francisco that the United Nations conference has reached the state where a definite data can be set for its conclusion. The President’s present plans call for his appearance before the final plenary session of the conference on Saturday. But that date remains tentative and the chief executive has been in daily touch with secretary of state E. R. Setttinius, Jr. 'The President, the guest here of Gov. Mon Wallgren, scheduled only two brief public appearances today. In the forenoon he will present (he congressional medal of honor to Sgt. John iD. Hawk, Bremerton, Wash., in a ceremony on the capitol steps. Hawk receives the award for his heroism iff helping stop a tank attack in the Ardennes Bulge last fall. (Immediately after the medal ceremony .Mr. Truman will be the honor guest at a reception given in the governor's office. He will meet about 109 people, including this state’s federal judges, the judges of the state supreme court, elected officials and heads of state departments. The rest of his day is being kept clear and he might go fishing in the afternoon on Puget Sound. (Meantime, Mr. Truman was taking it easy in the palatial, red brick colonial mansion where Wallgren makes his home. The executive mansion is only a few paces away from the massive state legislative building and is on a hill overlooking the southern end of Pudget Sound.

Increase Is Urged In Poultry Prices Chicago, June 20— (UP) —The OPA could increase the meat supply and destroy the black market at the same time by’ boosting the poultry ceiling price 8 cents a pound, according to an opinion poll survey of midwestern poultrymen published in the June 23 Prairie Farmer. The' farm newspaper reported that 85 percent of the poultrymen interviewed said that if the ceiling were raised from 29 cents to 37 cents, each grower would immediately order at least 100 additional chicks to be marketed as meat. o Elks Lodge To Hold Initiation Thursday (Initiation of a class of candidates will be held during the regular
