BOSTON, May 23 (UP) -— A rolling Moss is gathering homers for the Boston Red Sox. It was less than a week ago
that I.es Moss was traded to the Sox by the St. Louis Browns, but already he's pay-
“ing his travel fees. He smacked a homer against Cleveland just after he joined the club, and then vesterday he won a game with his second circuit clout. The blow was a grand slam —the first for the Red Sox this vear—in the seventh inning to give the Sox a 6-3 victory over Detroit.
In other less frightening displays, the Braves defeated the Cards, 7 to 2, while in the Ameri-
can League the White Sox edged Washington, 9 to 8, for their sixth straight road victory, the Yankees beat the Browns, 6 to 1, Cleveland 6 to 2. and Boston downed Detroit, 6 to 3. Warren Spahn pitched his fourth victory, a seven-hitter, while the Braves utilized 12 walks to win at St. Louis.
The White Sox, seeking to make 5"!

and now have only to beat the seventh place A's twice to complete their goal.
