Dom DiMaggio Pacing Boston Victory Skein New York. Auk 2 -(UP)— Unassuinlng. bespectacled Dom DIMaggio key-noted a quiet riot for the Boston Red Bos today, supplying an unspectacular but steady rain of hits in their inconspicuous ciimh to American league prominence. Scant attention has been paid to the Red Sox since July 4th. On that day it seemed best to forget them, for they had lost eight in a row and seemed doomed to an even gloomier future. On July S. however, the Sox started their climb back into good graces, and today they can boast of having won 20 of their last 27 games. Including a 4 to 3 victory over the frantically ambitious Cleveland Indians yesterday. Much credit for this Sox surge has gone to the trio of lefty pitchers. .Mel Parnell, Mickey McDermott and Chuck Stobbs Yet here is a fact that cannot be overlooked: DiMaggio has hit safely at least once in each of those games His consecutive streak is now 28. half of the record set by brother Joe In 1941. and his batting average Is a lusty 344. Parnell won his 15th game of the season in that Cleveland meeting yesterday. It gave the Red Sox three games of the five In the current Indian series, and lifted them to 2H games out of second place and 7 out of first. Naturally, there was the usual and pustlfied -acclaim for Parnell's feat. The headlines once again failed to mention dependable Dom. But l.e was in there, to be sure. In the fifth inning he doubled in the run which cut Cleveland s lead to 3-2. And In the eighth he scored the winning run after hitting the first of three consecutive Boston singles. The Indians had Jumped to a 94t lead in the third on singles by Jim Began. Dale Mitchell and l-ou Boudreau. Joe Gordon's walk and Larry Doby's force out. Began horn erad in the fourth to make it 3-0. The Red Sox scored first in the fourth on Vern Stephen s double and Bobby Doerrs single. They got two more in the fifth when Birdie Tebbetts was safe on a force-out. Parnell singled. Di.Mag- ’ gio doubled Tebbetts In and Pesky singled to score Purnell Then in the eighth DiMaggio, Pesky and Williams singled In order for the

Todo/s Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. ( U. 8. Pat. Off.) New York. Aug. 2 — (UP) — Slender Mel Parnell finally completed the cycle today — beating every other club in the American league — and the Boston soutnpaw's welcome triumph over the Cleveland Indians was a glittering achievement over adversity. Three times previously the greyeyed guy from New Orleans had gone against the battling Indians and been beaten. Only two other defeats by the Yankees and one hy ■ the Browns marred a fine record which included 14 precious Bosox triumphs over every club hut Cleveland. But Mel finally made It yesterday. And once again he went all the way. Which is nothing new for Parnell. who is the game's route-going c hampion with 18 distance tasks in 20 starts. Three times he has had to go 12 Innings, and two of those times he copped the verdict. Not bad for a young man who Just two years ago was told that ne was through, never again to pitcii a ball. Parnell started his baseball carjeer back in 1941 and. after thcce years in service, was sent to Scran- ‘ ton where he won 13 games as a- ' gainst four defeats. So in 1947 It was up to the Red ] Sox. but Mel wasn't quite ready, as j his three quick defeats showed, and ! he was sent back down to Ix)uls- ■ ville for more prepping. Then, in July of 1947, disaster struck. Parnell was pitching when he was struck on the hand by a line drive. The ring finger of his pitching hand was shattered and the doctors told him that he never would throw again. The determined Mel insisted that they were wrong. And finally he turned to therapy in an attempt to make the finger pliable again In the season he started to throw gradually again, with the question still unsettled. So It was a very worried young man who went' south with the Red Sox In the spring of 1948. It took Parnell a long time to convince the Boston masterminds that he was not as good, but better, than ever And he proved it last season with a 15 and 8 record. On top of which, he's still at it and doing much better, thank you. with a current 15 and 6 mark which bids fair to make him a 20-game winner. But that Cleveland Jinx had him k bit worried. They stopped him the first time hy a 4 to 3 count in 12 innings. The next time the Indians bounced him, 6 to 3. and the third time they flattened Mel was in a two-inning relief stint which he lost in tne 10th inning, 10 to 6 So yesterday’s conquest was particularly sweet, especially in view of the fact that the Bosox once again are threatening to move, into the midst of the pennant race. Hi* eictory shaved the Yankee margin over the Red Sox to seven games, and put them but two and a 7>alf lengths off the Indians in secund place. It’s still a long haul but. If they do make It, much of the honor will go to the lean lefty who wouldn't let a shattered finger cancel hi.» date with pitching destiny.

NEW TEST TUBE (r<>nt. From Page On* l with the disease, then it was confirmation that the virus wa* present. But, the animal experiments have been costly and slow in determining the presence of virus and identifying it. The new method, now in a transition period from a pilot plant operation to a large-scale production, employ* a protein substance, known as protamine, a derivative of sal mon sperm It lias been used in the manufacture of certain types of insulin. and i» easily obtainable. The secret of the success in the use of protamine lie* in the fat t that it has a positive electrical charge and the polio virus has a negative electrical charge. Particles of opposite electrical charges attract each other. Hence, polio virus will cling or adhere to protamine, and thus form a relatively large mass Such a mas* is necessary If th* detection of polio is to be made in a test lube. The polio virus itself, however, Is not observed. What is observed is the reaction resulting from mixing the virus-covered protamine with blood samples. If the blood serum contains anti bodies created by a polio Infection then there will be a reaction, visible to the eye. The reaction is the appearance of thin transparent Hakes in the test tube solution. If the blood Itelng tested has no anti-bodies and there i* no reaction, then the solution remains clear. It la a sign that there i* no polio Infection. Such teats have been made using both monkey and human blood in the experiments. Technically, the new method is known as the flocculation test, and can be done In a matter of hours, in monkey experiments — without the test tube technique—the time is three weeks or longer The development eventually may be a diagnostic test but the scientists here say that its significance and importance are related now to the identification of polio viruses in the search to determine bow many varieties of the disease hit In this country—and what person* are likely to be infected. Thu* the new test tube method thould give medical scientists some of the answers to the how and why of polio epidemics.
