The teams were tied at 4-4 after the regulation six innings, but the Red Sox scored four times in the seventh on four hits, a walk and an error. The Indians bounced back to tally three runs on as many hits and had the bases loaded when the final out was made Jim Reiafenbach limited the White 'Sox to only one hit in the nightcap as the Yankees registered an 8-0 shutout. Only hit off Reidenbach was a single by Ray O’Campo in the fourth inning. The White Sox catcher was the only ptayer to reach base off the Yankee pitcher.

Today's Sport Parade I (Reg. U. S. PaL Oft) | By Oscar Fraley ' I 0 PITTSBURGH U‘P — Capt. Ted Williams, who marched back to the wars a year ago last May with little hope of ever returning to (baseball, disclosed today from Korea that he may be back for the. September stretch drive and “at least two more years of baseball With peace pending in Korea, where the 34-year-oid Boston Red Sox slugger is a .Marine jet pilot. Williams was optimistic that be might be released from < service sooner than expected. “If so,” he said in a letter to Freddie Corcoran, his business ■manager, “I hope to be able to give baseball a whirl before the Reason knds, then, it I can hit .390 I’d lik’e to keep playing for at least two more years.” Williams is due out through ordinary channels in early September. But he has had an impressive flying record and would be eligible for a quicker discharge. The only current day ball player ever to hit .400, Williams was a mariiiei flying instructor for .three and one-half years during World War IT, Then he was recalled to active duty in the Korean conflict bn May 2. 1952. Hi g last day in baseball flannels was typical of “The Kid’s” grejt play through the years. On pril 28, 1952, with the score against Detroit tied at 3-3, Williams in h’s last official time at bat crasheti a winning 420f00t jionie >un at Fenway Park. Then, uncomplaining but 'expect img the worst, th? man who hit .406 in 1941 marched away. Tall, slender Ted actually never ex- 1 pected to make it back. “I'vel got a feeling,’ he told Corcoran, "that something Is going to happen.” It almost did. Not when he was striken with pneumonia and spoilt a month in a naval hospital but latler when’ he began flying missions in the .malestrom of Korea. Twice his jet bomber was struck l)y anti-aircraft fire. Once he limped home througn the riddled skies to crashland in flames. Stan Musial of the Cardinals who al4 is represented by Corcoran. listened quietly as the man who also is his business manager read Williams’ hopeful letter. “He shouldn’t worry,” said Musial. who hold the batting eiiiinencc in the National League which WUliams did In the American. “Ted will be a great hitter until he's 40. Give him two weeks of butting practice and he'll be there jus| pa ■good as ever.’’ He probably .will, at that. Capt. Williams never even hoped to iiLake it back home—let alone back to baseball —and the odds are that he’ll take his happiness out on the poor old pitchers.

Leo Durocher Rails At league Umpires | New York, up — Enraged by tlie piigh|t of his Giants add his second stjraight ejection by an umpire. manager Leo Duroclter’s wrath bailed over todak witp a blistering.' charge that the . wnps are ganging up on him. ! Heatedly insisting that umpire Frank Secpry tossed hun qut of Tuesday night’s 4-2 setback by Milwaukee “for saying prac4icallj’ nothing," fiery Durocher ’defied another fine or even a suspension by unleashing one of the most uninhibited umpire attacks in his stbrmy career. Durocher, bounced the day before for kicking dirt at ijmplre Frank Dascoli, got the gate; Tuesday night for protesting a pitch to outfielder Sid Gordon the Braves in the fifth inning. ?’ “All I asked him was, ?|Vhere was the ball?' and I’m out of the game.” stormed the I didn t cuss him. <9- any- j thing. Al! I said was ’Whelms was the ball?’ Is that anything to throw a guy out for? “Those guys get together beforehand and decide the firstj time someone rays anything, he’s* out."

"I'll tell you what we ought dp,” he added “'Uet’s call off all games at the end. of the fifth inning and start a.'-lpink tea party. W’H get white aprons for the umpires and let ’em Isef-Ve the tea.

Braves Score Tenth Win On '.j Long Road Trip NEW YORK, UP — Chatley Grimm doesn’t get tossed out- of ball games like Leo Durocher, but even if he did it wouldn’t matter, because the way his Braves are going he could stay home in 1 Milwaukee and manage them. As his madcaps woh their 10th game in 14 starts on a long road trip through five cities by topping the Giants 4-2 Tuesday night, Grimm revealed that he hadn’t changed his batting order, in the past 41 games. That is a tremendous dpntrast with Casey Stengel, the Yankee genius, who. has had more than 40 different lineups in the 46 games that the American League leaders have played. “We're going good the way things are., why change ’'em?’’ asked Grimm as the Braves stayed a full game in front of the secqndplace Dodgers on Warren Spalin’s seventh straight victory in which the lean lefty drove in two runs with three hits, one of them a homer. Aside from switching of catchers occasionally in the number eight spot in the order, Grimm has gone with the same lineup since April 22 when he made one change. He moved Jack Dittmer from eighth to seventh because the young second baseman was hitting well, and that i& where he has remained ever since. In the 4te innings Jim Pendleton goes in to left instead of Sid Gordon for defensive purposes and that’s about all the maneuvering Grimm finds necessary. . ' Spahn walked six batters, hit another, and gave up 10 nits but the usually fine defensive support, including a great throw* by Pendleton. enabled him to get liy as 12 Giants were left on base. Gordon also hit a homer. { f

The Dodgers held on with a IW-6 victory over Cincinnati, while |the Phils outlasted the Cubs, 10-9, hut the Cards skidded again at Pittsburgh, losing 7-4. In the American league, the j Yankees extended their winning streak to 12 gamep, longest since 1947, by topping Detroit. 3-2. Cleveland topped Washington.. 2-1 on Bob Lemon’s two-hitter. Boston edged the Browns, fi-5. and Chicago topped Philadelphia for the first time this year. 5-1. , , The Dodgers pounded four homers by Carl Furillo, Gil Peewee Reese and Duke Snider, to “outdistance” Cincinnati, which got a pair out of Ted KlugzeWski and Gus Bell in a slugging battle royal. Big Klu’s was his 17th, putting him in a three-way tie for the major league lead with Idle ■Roy Campanella of the Dodgers, who was benched, and Ejd Mathews of the Braves. Chicago hit the most homers put the Phils got the one that Counted for: victory, a blast by Del Ennis in the ninth which broke up the game. Earlier. Dee Fondy hit a pair for Chicago and Ralph Kiner and Randy Jackson also delivered for the losers. Eddip Pellagrin!, who rarely hits homers, delivered a three-run blast as a pinch hitter to give the Pirates their victory as Bdb Hall picked up his second victory by .scattering 10 hits. Hall also hit a homer, his first in 'j the majors. Peanuts Lowery and Del Rice homered for St. Louis. Tom Gonnan pitched tworhit relief ball for 5 2-3 innings t|o give the Yankees their latest triumph as Mickey Mantle drove in a sixthinning run with a single to break a tie. Bob Lemon pitched two for his seventh victory and Hank

Majeski hit a bases-loaded single, in the eighth to drive in Cleveland’s two runs In the victory over Washington. Mickey Vernon homered for the losers. Mickey McDermott, who had to retire in the eighth because of the St. Louis beat, connected for three hits, drove in a run, pitched fivehit ball and struck out seven as the Red Sox made an early lead stand up for a squeaker victory.. Hoot Evers and Gene Stephens hit Boston homers and Bob jEHiott hit one for St. Louis. The White Sox gave Billy Pierce a 5-1 lead in the first three innings and he held it jthe rest of the way, turning in a strong threehitter. Nellie Fox drove in runs with a single and Jim Rivera sent in two with a triplei to pace the Chicago hitting,’ Yankees To Practice Thursday Evening The Yankees team of the Decatur Little League will hold a practice session at Worthman field Thursday afternoon at 5:30 team members are asked to be present. -* Lutheran Softball Tourney Planned The annual softball tourney sponsored by the Lutheran laymen’s league will open Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with four games scheduled.
