After trailing the Indians by percentage points for days, Paul Richards' Chicagoans finally overtook the Tribe Tuesday night on Virgil Trucks’ four-hit, 9-to-3 victory over the Philadelphia, Athletics. Tracks copped his eighth' victory in 11 decisions by limiting the Athletics to a single and a two-run homer by Vic Power, a safety by Gus Zernial and a double by Don Bollweg. -The Chisox capitalized on Philadelphia miscues to get the runs they needed and hand rookie Bob Trice his fourth setback in ten decisions. They put over two unearned runs in the first inning when Minnie Minoso singled, advanced on Trice’s throwing error and -scored with Ferris Fain when Don Boll-w-eg threw wildly to the plate. Fain had walked. The Chisox had it in the second when Jim Rivera and Johnny Groth scurried home on Chico Carrasquel’s infield out, which drew another wild throw. A charity night crowd of 16,615 watched the White Sox rip off most of their 12 hits and five more runs in the seventh as Groth, singled, Carrasquel and Fain doubled.

Henry Caught In Vicious Squeeze . NEW YORK (INS) —lt should be pointed out that Clarence Henry, currently in jail for allegedly trying to fix a fight, might not be there’ had he not suffered an eye injury In line of fluty— that is to say, fighting. The correlation between a man’s physical and his moral impairment may seem tenuous, and the thought is offered here not in extenuation but in explanation of Henry’s case. • Until Ms eye injury, Henry was third ranking heavyweight challenger —a little short on moxie. some said, but a "gentleman” in and put of the ring. His Injury not only kept him Idle for nearly a year but drained off whatever savings he had accrued. An attempted comeback was not successful, and from there it conceivably would not be too long a step, for a desperate young man with bills, a wife and a baby, to ac‘ as contact man in the abortive Bobby Jone&Joey Giardello “fix.” -The point here is that Henry, like many other fighters was caught in a vicious squeeze. Boxing is at once the most hazardous of all sports and the one that offers the least security. Jockeys, baseball and hockey players—even roller derby skaters —have pension plans. Boxers do not, although nobody needs it more. Athletes in most other sports have accident and sickness benefits. Those in boxing have pitifully inadequate protection. Latest attempt to do something about the situation is being made by an organisation called- the American Veteran Boxers Association, Inc., which claims to represent 500 former or active fighters and others connected with the sport. Killed In Fall At Fort Wayne Plant INDIANAPOLIS. (INS) — Funeral arrangements were made today for Blythe Richeson. 32, Indianapolis construction worker who was killed Tuesday in an 85-foot fall at the International Harvester company’s Fort Wayne plant. While assisting in the razing of an old smokestack. Richeson was knocked from a ladder by a piece of falling scaffolding.
