Sold for $250,000

Genial Joe has come a long way since the day a Pittsburgh scout picked him up in a town game at Napa, Cal, and gave him $200 to sign a contract which bound him to organized baseball for life. Nobody could foresee that he'd bring more money than any player in history. In 1934, he was sold by Washington to the Red Sox for $250,000 in cash plus Lyn Lary. For seven years he has played

job of managing. He has developed from a wild, take-a-chance manager into one of the shrewdest tacticians. ‘His long fly as a pinch-hitter in the 11th inning yesterday with the bases loaded and one out, scored Pete Fox with the”deciding run that gave Boston a 2-1 triumph over Detroit. The contest was a pitching duel between Hal Newhouser and Charley Wagner, the Tigers collecting only four blows while the Red Sox reached Newhouser for six.

Yanks Keep Lead

The Yankees stayed four games in front of the Red Sox by defeating the St. Louis Browns, 5-2. Hank Borowy, with the help of Johnny Murphy, won his seventh victory. The Yankees routed Elden Auker in the fourth with a three-run barrage. Tom Henrich and Charley Keller belted their ninth and 10th homers, respectively. Johnny Humphries won his fitth victory with a five-hit effort as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Senators, 4-2, in a night game at Washington before 7000 customers. The White Sox put over three runs in the first off Walt Masterson and were never headed. The Athletics belted Chubby Dean and Joe Heving for 10 hits and. defeated the Cleveland Indians, 5-2,
