White Sox And Cincinnati Reds Surprise Teams New York, April 25—(UP)— Nobody was very excited today over either the Chicago White Sox or the Cincinnati Reds, but even after just one week of the basehall season it looked as if both clubs might be headed for better times. There was no dancing in the streets either in south Chicago or in Cincinnati because it still was at least 1,000 to 1 that these teams which met in the historic black sox scandal world series of 191!) would meet again this year or any other iu the near future. But it was hard to deny them the glory they have earned in one short week. Look at the White Sox. Generally considered a “best bet" for last place in the American league they rose to the heights yesterday by building a five game winning streak, sweeping a doubleheader with the Browns, 2 to 1 and 4 to 0. In the opener, the White Sox poured over both runs in the ninth after shortstop Eddie Pellagrin! opened the gates with an error. In the second game, Randy Gumpert, a castoff from the New York Yankees, held the Browns to three hits. The Reds divided with the Pirates at Pittsburgh to stay in second place in the National league, winning the opener 3 to 2, then losing the afterpiece 3 to 1. Lloyd Merriman, Cincinnati rookie, hit a triple and homer in the first game and another rookie. Charley Kress singled home the winning run in the 10th. Ralph Kiner of the Bucs hit his second homer in as many days, to no avail. In the second game, rookie third baseman Ed Bock man of Pittsburgh accounted for all of his team's runs with two homers, one with a man aboard. Johnny Wyrostek homered for Cincinnati. The Yankees, cashing in again i on a big inning highlighted by a rookie’s bat, beat the Red Sox two out of three in Boston, 9 to 4. Gene Woodling hit a three-run homer in a six-run eighth for the Yanks, after which they scored three more in the ninth. Ed Lopat, with relief help from Joe Page, won his second game and it was significant that last year the Yankees went all season before they won two games in Boston. The amazing Philadelphia Athletics got a tine job of pitching from lefty Lou Brissie and beat the Senators at Washington, 8 to 3, s'Aenin<r the three game series Hank Majeski hit a home run and two singles and batted in three runs to pace the attack. Clyde Vollmer hit a home run for Wash ington. The Dodgers and Phils divided in Philadelphia, the Phils taking the opener, 7 to 4. and Brooklyn win . ning the nightcap, 6 to r . Richie ] Ashburn's two run homer was the big blow in Philly’s first game triumph in which Eddie Miller and Stan Lopata also delivered round
