Boston Braves Have Finest Road Record New York. June 10-(UP)-Glv-I ing the club with the best road ree-| ord the pennant Is a tried and true baseball axiom and if It works !in 1948. then the Boston Braves with 15 decisions In 22 tries in other people's parks are the club to beat. That Is a spectacular road record. but the only trouble with the Braves overall mark is that they have fallen down at home with a i minus 8 and 12 mark in Braves' | field. None of which matters to Billy Southworth, who patiently works along with a team until he thinks, that it is about to hit winning stride, then lets it alone. When ihe managed the Cardinals, he usJ ually broe loose tn the stretch in i August or early September to take the flag and this year, when he has a genuine contender in the Braves he isn't likely to make his bid much earlier.
