Champs Handed / Mie Defeat By White Sox New York, May 16—TUP)— Cleveland manager Lou Boudreau is banking on warm weather to pull his world champions out of the doldrums and it can’t come too soon after the "zero” afternoon they spent Sunday in Chicago's Comiskey park. Boudreau blames most of the the club’s woes on the fact that the early season games have been played in wet or chilly weather, mainly handicapping the pitchers. But there was nothing wrong with either of the White Sox hurlers. Bill Wight and Al Gettel, a couple of New York Yankee castoffs, who pitched Ift to 0 and 2 to ft shutouts over the Indians. Wight, a stylish lefty, pitched five-hit ball in the opener and Gettel, a right hander, gave, up just four in the second encounter. Rookie Gordie Goldsberry was the hitting star, getting three singles and a stolen base in the opener and a two run homer that accounted for all the scoring off Steve Gromek, in the second game. Bob Feller was batted out of the box in two innings in the opener and 'suffered his second defeat. The hustling White Sox drew their largest baseball crowd in history, 53,325 fans, to yesterday's two games. The Athletics won two games from the Yankees, coming from behind each time for an 8 to 7 11Inning victory in the opener and a 7 to 6 curfew-shortened six-inning decision in the nightcap. Sam Chapman was the big man in the first game getting two homers and a double and driving in the winning run with a fly ball. His second homer sent the game into extra innings in the ninth, Eddie Joost also getting a fourbase blow in that frame. Allie Reynolds was breezing along with a ft to 0 lead in the second gam? when the A’s made all seven runs in the final inning. Elmer Vaio who started the winning inning with a single, also finished it with another single that scored the tying and deciding runs. He got four hits for the game. Hal Newhouser won his fourth game of the season when the Tigers exploded for six runs in the seventh inning, four on a homer by Vic Wertz in a 9 to 3 victory over the Browns at St. Louis. But the Browns had all the bombs in the second game, winning it, 12 to 4 as Ned Garver breezed to an easy victory behind the home run hitting of Dick Kokos, Sherman Lollar. and Stan Spence. The Red Sox got one of their best pitching jobs of the season from Joe Dobson who held tie Senators to four hits for a 3 to 0 victory in Washington. Dom DiMaggio got three hits to set the • batting pace. Vern Bickford won his fourth game for the’Braves, a brilliant four hit, 4 to 0 shutout over the Dodgers. Jim Russell got a homer and double, driving in three runs. The Giants won their 10th game
