Lemon Returns To Mound To Beat Red Sox New York, June 3 —(UP) — There was refreshing “lemon-aid” at hand today for Cleveland’s weary pitching staff. And the Indians, who have been thirsting for the victories that will put them back into contention in the American league race, may get a few from now on from Boh Lemon, their ace of 1948, who is back in form again. Lemon, out with a pulled side muscle since May 11, returned to the mound against the hot Boston Red Sox last night and they were able to squeeze only five hits out of him while Cleveland got 16 to breeze to an 8 to 3 triumph. Dale Mitchell got four of Cleveland's hits while manager Lou Boudreau, playing with a broken little finger on his left hand, collected two. Vern Stephens hit his 12th home run for the Red Sox, deadlocking his teammate, Ted Williams, and Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh for the major league homer lead. The increased their; first place lead to 5% games when they outblasted the White Sox, 12 to 7, at Chicago. Tommy Henrich hit a three-run homer to get the Yankees started in the first inning and Cliff Mapes also homered later. The Yankees made 15 hits hut blew an 8 to 0 lead and Joe Page, who pitched scoreless onehit ball for 4% innings was the victor. Washington scored its seventh straight triumph over the Browns,' 5 to 4, breaking loose for four runs in the eighth after being held to two hits by Dick Starr prev-! iously. Eddie Yost hit a three run; homer tor the big blow. Ray Scarborough, who gave up only two hits before going out for a pinch hitter in the eighth, won his fourth game. The luckless Starr lost his seventh straight. Hoot Evers hit a three-run homer that sent the game into extra innings, then doubled in the 10th and came home on Johnny Groth's single as Detroit won its second straight overtime game from the Athletics. 5 to 4. Relief pitcher Art Houtteman was credited with the victory. In a bomoardment that must have put a new crack in Philadelphia's liberty bell, the Phils tied two major league records by getting five homers in the eighth, two by Andy Seminick in a 10-run rally that crushed Cincinnati, 12 to 3. The Phils trailed by one run when they broke loose with their homer blast, tying the major mark set by the Giants of 1939.

Terms Pro Boxing | Greatest Killer Chicago, June 3.—(UP)—Pro-' fessional boxing is “the greatest l killer in American athletics” and 50 per cent of active fighters are punch drunk to some degree, the American medical association's health magazine, Hygia, said today, i In an article by Thomas Gorman, assistant managing editor, the magazine said that boxing has resulted in more deaths per number of participants than any othet sport. I About 2,500 pro boxers are listed j in record books, but not all are active. Five fighters were killed in bouts up to April 20 of this year,! 'l3 were killed in 1948, nine during 1947, and 11 in 1946, the article said. “A boxer -doesn't have to be j knocked out or have' his skull broken to be seriously injured," the' article said. "He ma/ suffer pin-, point hemorrhages or other harm 1 to his brain not outwardly apparent even to the trained physician.” The article said that “these iniuries can result from any bard blow to the head.” “Pinpoint hemorrhages caused by the concussion from a hard blow may destroy nerve tissue. Brain tissues do not heal as do other tissues of the body. “Some parts of the brain can suffer destruction of a small amount of tissue without immediate paralysis or changes in be havior. 1 These injuries are permanent. As more are received they will contribute to loss of mental powers or body control." The magazine said that the presence of doctors at ringside “has the effect of furnishing a phony re- ; spectabilky to an otherwise dubI ious actlvity.s” "Doctors who have pointed out the dangers of organized mayhem based on scientific observations ov--1 er the years are only permitted on the sidelines as members of adI vlsory boards and as medical examiners dependent for their fees on | the whims of politicians,” the article said.
