Rookie Nixon Hiirls Shirtout For Red Sox New York, May 8 —(UP)— Just at the time the old folks on the Boston Red Sox were being written off once more by the experts, a 22-year-old kid named Willard Nixon came back today, virtually all by himself, to give them renewed hppes, 5 They wrire saying that the sockers were too old and too slow and that stheir defensive deficiencies would vost them more games ‘han their well-known ability to hit the ball would,ever win fqr them. The Red Sox aren't orit of the Woods yet—not even out of the second division—and totlgy or tomorrow they may relapse into their sluggish habits.

In the third Inning he stepped up and hit his firrst league home run over the right in St7 Louis for .the only run needed to win the two-hit ball game he pitched. The Red Sox got another in the same frame on an error, an infield out and Ted Williams* single. blit it was Nixon who did the fixin’ wdth the big blow. He got some top-flight defensive support with three double playy enabling him to face onfe 18 men In the first six innings. The Washington Senators moved within a game and a half of the leading Yankees by oufslugging the Cleveland- Indians, 11 to 10, while the Yankees dropped a 10 to 6 decision to Detroit in the only other American league games.

Detroit finished with a flourish, hitting three homers I y Bearden, Dick Kryhoski, and Hoot Evers in .the eighth inning. Yogi Berra homered for New York. In a -stirring finish, the Dodgers put over two runs in the 10th inning on a pair of errors by Peanuts Lowrey, a single by Bruce Edwards, and a long fly by pinch-hitter Tommy Brown to beat the Cardinals as Preacher Roe racked up his fourth straight victory. Del Rice made it a 2-2 ball game with a homer with two outs' and two strikes on him in the ninth. ' ;. 1 ; There werd no other xriijor leagtie games scheduled.
