Parnell Hurls 2nd Shutout For Red Sox New York, April 26—(UP)—Me! Parnell, the lefty who might have pitched the Red Sox into last year's world series, was making it his personal project today to see that they don't miss out this year. When the Red Sox wound up in a pennant tie with the Indians in the 1948 race everybody expected Marse Joe McCarthy to pitch Parnell, a 15-game winner, in the playoff. Instead, McCarthy chose uncle Denny Galehouse, an elderly soul who hadn’t won a game in three weeks, and who had an unimpressive lifetime record of nine victories and 18 defeats against Cleveland. So while Parnell chafed in the dugout, the Indians massacred Galehouse and they, not the Red Sox, wound up in the world series. Parnell had the best “arned run average on the Red Sox staff last season and the fourth best in the American league, a neat 3.14 mark, but he's out to beat that this year. Up to now, in fact, he hasn't even yield a run. Yesterday, he pitched his second straight shutout, beating Washington, 2 to 0, on seven hits to run his string of scoreless innings to 18. BobbyDoerr tripled and scored on an infield out for one Boston run and Johnny Pesky got the other bydoubling and moving around on an Infieid out and a long fly. In New York, Vic Raschi of the Yankees pitched a 3 to 2 fivehitter over the Athletics, scoring his ninth victory over them against one defeat since coming into the league. A fumble and a wild throw by the usually reliable Eddie Joost set up two unearned runs, spoiling an otherwise well-pitched five-hit-ter by Joe Coleman. The Braves also got a well-pitch-ed game from Bill Voiselle who blanked the Dodgers in Brooklyn, 3 to 0 on six hits. Duke Torveson hit his second homer for the Braves and Jim Russell sent home the other two tallies with a single. Clint Hartung won his second game, scattering nine hits aY the Giants came from behind to beat the Phils at Philadelphia, 6 to 3. A four run rally in which errors by Ralph Hamner and Eddie Waitkus were the big factors, put the Giants ahead to stay in the eighth. Mickey Livingston drove in two runs with a single and homer.

The I t sport further denied that it ope- 1 > rates as an illegal monopoly. | • In defending the reserve clause t in the player’s contract, attorneys ' ; for the sport said this clause, which' 1 . binds a player to his team for life, j 1 does not create a monopoly but in-■ 1 . stead promotes competition.
