Sox Move Into Second Place As Boston Downs the Ty’s.

Comiskey’s White Sox went into second place in the American League pennant chase Wednesday as the result of Detroit’s second straight defeat at the hands of the Red Sox. The Sox downed Philadelphia in a slugfest by a score of 8 to 7. Reb Russell was pounded rather freely, but the Hose also had on their swatting clothes and the Rebel was returned a victor. Boston downed Detroit 4 to 3, when Hendrickson, sniping for Carrigan, poled a single to left, scoring Scott with the winning run. Dutch Leonard opposed Ehmke. The standing today is: W L Pct Boston 83 59 584 Chicago ............ 83- 62 572 Detroit 83 63 568
