Feller, Gregg Hurl One-Hit Tilts Tuesday New Yo k. April 21 HP) If history repeat* Itself. today may be the day the American League pennant ie decided The Boston Red Box. who lost to the New York Yankee* yesterday in the first 1917 meeting of the two (earns, play the Yanks attain today. Much could dep (id on this varly sei.on game as it did ast year. In 1948 the netting for the second Yank-Bosov game was the same New York had won the first game. The score was a entailing 12 to 5, and there were indications that the old Yankee tradition still was good for victories over the Red Sol, who couldn't seem to whfti any colled lon of playetw whose shirts Imre the word •'Yankees.' 1 But the Red Sox, who were favorite* last year just us they are this year, came hack in the second game and then .1 was the Yanks who took a 12 to 5 whipping Some Boston baseliall experts said later that game was the turning point; when the Red Sox won that game their psychology became a winning one, and thereafter they had no trouble with the Yankee jinx. New York apparently had the help of a jinx as it defeated Boston yesterday. 5 to 4. on three hits. A single and a walk In the first inning was followed by Charley Keller's three-run homer. Ted Williams and then Sam Mele hit homers off the Yanko' Floyd Bevens with no one on base, and in the eighth inning Rudy York hit a two-run homer to put Boston ahead. But relief pitcher Earl Johnson gave up two walks, John Pesky made an erior. there was a sacrifice and then Keller hit a single to score a run. Tom Henrich's long fly sent the winning run Great individual performances by Bob Feller and Hil Gregg dominated yesterday's four game card as each pitched a one-hit game. Feller, the Cleveland Indian righthanded strongboy, came up with the more spectacular game as he scored a 5 to 0 victory over the St. Imuis Brown. He had a perfect game until the seventh inning, when Al Zarilla. a left-handed hitter. lined a soft single to center field Feller walked one man in the ninth, and struck out 10 batters during the game. It was Feller's ninth one-hitter. He has two no-hit game* Gregg gave up a double to Del Ennis in the first inning as Brooklyn edged the Philadelphia Phils. 1 to 0. He struck out four, walked two and hit a batter with a pitched ball. After Ennis' hit. Gregg retir-

o o Todays Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) 0 O New York. April 23- (VP)— Dom Di Maggio, the “little professor” who patrols center field for the Boston Red Sox, may give them all a lesson this year and wind up as the most valuable play-

it in the American league, manager Joe Cronin instated today. “Just let him get ills base hits and he’ll be there.” Cronin said through a lip full of snuff as he watched the youngest of the famed DiMaggios. Standing behind the batting cage, the taciturn little fellow with the ever-present spectacles didn’t look like a ball player's ball player. Hut he is. “He can field, he can .run the bases and he can throw." Cronin added. "They don’t come any better.” Well, then, is the more famed Joe able to do more things and do them better? "I don’t know) anybody who could do any more or do it any better.” Cronin barked. “There's a real ball player." And whether it's at bat. steaming around the bases or playing out in the garden, little Dorn backs up those words with a fluid grace which substantiates Cronin’s words. One look Is enough to mark him as a DiMaggio. cut from a smaller pattern than the lanky Joe of the New York Yankees.
