Bucky Harris Rafes Red Sox Team To Beat New York. June 28 -(UP)—Not that It matters at this late date but the Red Sox were convinced today that James Russell Ixiwell. who was a Bostonion himself, knew what he was doing when he wrote just 100 years ago: "What is so rare as a day In June: then if ever coiqe perfect days.” Ixvwell'a lines, penned in the pre-Ted Williams' era. are highly applicable to Joe McCarthy's marauders. who won 17 games ■ and lost but five and moved from seventh to fourth place tn th* American league standings this month. Now rated by Buc'gy Harris of the world champion Yankees, as the team to b*at. the Red Sox moved »o within five games of first place yesterday when they won 2 to 0 and 6 to 3 decisions at St. Lc.uls, Joe Dobson's two-hit pitching gave hhn his ninth victory in the opener but the Red Sox were more enthusiastic about the fact that Dave Ferriss turned in his first route-going of the season In the second game. Ferriss scattered eight hits. A three-run homer by Ted Williams, bls 16th ni the season, and a blast by Bobby Doerr, which the Browns claimed went foul, gave Ferriss all the runs he needed. The Athletics, who just won't succumb to that decent second division burial the experts have arranged for them, rose instead to within a hair's width of first place by topping the White Sox. 6 to 5 and 6 to 2. Barney McConkey was the hitting star In both games. His two-run triple was the big blow in a four-run fourth Inning rally in the first game. He also made- three hits in the second game. A highly encouraging experiment was conducted by Yankee ' manager Harris at Detroit in I which he gave Tommy Byrne a longawaited chance as a starter and the lefty responded with a two-hit. 7 to 0 victory. He walked I eight, but bore down wplendfdly 'and only one Tiger got to third > Tommy Henrich, who got three hits and Yogi Berra who drove in throe runs, paced the Yankees at bat i Washington retarded the Indians at Cleveland, topping them - 5 to 2 with a late attack that sent i Gene Bearden out with bis third defeat against six victories, but the Tribe countered with a 4 to 1 second game victory as Sam Zoldak won his second straight since coming to Cleveland from the Browns. Homers by Allie Clark and Joe Gordon gave Zoldak enough margin for a seven-hit win. Johnny Sain won his ninth game and his sixth in his last seven starts at Boston, holding Pittsburgh to eight scattered hits la a 9 to 1 rout. Tommy Holmes led the 12-hit attack with three singles The Cardinals stuck within half a game of the leading Braves by beating the Dodgers. * to 4 at Brooklyn as Marty Marion and Stan Muslal hit homers Muslml'f was his 17th. Al Brazle. with relief help from Ted Wilks, was credited with his fifth victory.
