Connie Mack

Says. Red Sox

Will Cop Flag

By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, May 29.—There was an understandable difference of opinion today between Manager Ossie Bluege of Washington and Connie Mack of Philadelphia as to Just how good those rampaging Red Sox from Boston really are. Mack, who is glumly resigned to seeing his poor old Athletics finish in the cellar once more, thinks that the Red Sox will cop the 1946 American league flag. “I believe the teams will wind up in just about. the positions they occupy now,” he said. “The Red Sox are a wonderful ball club. I'd like to see them win myself.” Bluege, whose Senators can‘ take over second place by beating the Yankees today, has designs on that flag himself and doesn't concede a thing to Red 8ox boss, Joe Cronin. Yanks Lose Under Lights

Bluege didn't suggest that his team would be the one to overtake the Sox but the Nats made it look plausible when they spoiled the first night game ever played in Yankee stadium for 48895 fans, topping New York 2 to 1 behind six-hit pitching by Emil Leonard, who won his fifth game without a loss. It was the third Yankee loss in four games since Bill Dickey “became manager. . The White Sox won their fourth straight game since Ted Lyons took
