The Majors—

Sox Hue Can | ChangeToday

By CARL L United Press

This is the day the Red S American League contenders.

UNDQUIST Sports Writer : ox can burst forth as genuine

The Windy City whoops wildly for the White Sox and

Cleveland cheers clamor for B the Tigers. But the Red Sox

ob Lemon s one-hitter against are on a winning streak, too,

and they play a doubleheader against the Yankees today.

If they hurdle and run their string to 10 games, they'll be rattling along on their hottest gpring drive since 1946. And 1946, you one of those odd seasons when the Red Sox weren't expected to win the pennant, but did. Usually it's the other way around.

The Red Sox lost their first two games to the Yankees this season, but came back to win the next three. The job facing them today is a tremendous one, though, because they must face the league's two top pitchers, Ed Lopat and Vic Raschi. Lopat has won all of his eight games and Raschi has an 8-1 record. Nixon, Stobbs Set

But Red Sox manager, Steve O'Neill, whose greatest talent as a pilot has been in handling pitchers, has his own staff in top shape. In fact, his starting pitcher has gone the route in each of the last seven games. To counter that Lopat-Raschi menace, O'Neill is using youngsters Willard Nixon, who has won three in a row, and Charley Stobbs, who has a 4-1 record.

The Red Sox, long the mightfest hitting team in the majors but notoriously slow spring starters, are better off in the standings than at any time since they made a runaway out of the 19468 race. In that season they won 15 straight games in a sensational drive that set a club record.

Favored to win the flag in every year thereafter, the Sox were always laggards when the team reached the Memorial Day quar-ter-pole. Even this year in third place.| three games behind, their 22-13 won and lost mark is a big improvement. Last year on Memorial Day they were 24-18, five games! behind. In 1949 they were 18-16, 512 out; in 1948 they were 13-21 and 11 out, and in 1947 they were 19-17, 313 out. | Brownies Next

Yet in each of these years they came steaming along in the stretch, losing the pennant in a playoff in 1948 . . . on the final day in 1949 . . , and in the final week in 1950. | Meanwhile, the White Sox with| their 12-game winning jag were! not to be taken lightly. They had, two games with everybody's pat-| sies, the Brownies, at Chicago and lefty Bill Pierce at 5-2, and Randy Gumpert at 2-0 were xy to go

The Phillies seeking to rebound from their embarrassing seventh-place level, have readied their two big men, Robin ‘Roberts, 4-4, and Bubba Church, 3-3. Two other flag aspirants, the Braves—with Max Surkont (5-2) and Vern Bickford (6-4)—and the Giants—with Larry Jansen (4-4) and Jim Hearn (3-2)-—were scheduled to battle. In less significant games the Cubs play at Cincinnati and the Pirates at St. Louis in the National, while in the American, the Athletics play at Washington and the Tigers at Cleveland, all dou-ble-headers.

Lemon's Perfect No Hit, No Run Game

By JERRY LE DONNE United Press Sports Writer DETROIT, May 30—Cleveland’s Bob Lemon blamed a ‘too perfect” pitch today for keeping him from becoming the first pitcher in

29 years to throw a perfect no

hit, no run game. It was th2 sharp-breaking slider that heavy-armed Vic Wertz of the Detroit Tigers smashed for a 380-foot homer after Lemon went seven innings without a Tiger touching first base. 2 ” ” WERTZ must have guessed that I was going to throw him a slider just like I had done before, so he was ready for it,” Lemon explained. “If I'd changed my slider a bit and not tried to throw a perfect one, I don’t think Wertz would have toucned it.” That one pitch cost Lemon a

{place in baseball’s all-time record

book. Not since Apr. 30, 1922, when Charley Robertson of the| Chicago White Sox stopped Detroit cold without a player getting on base has a major league pitcher hurled a perfect game,

Arriba . . .

CARACAS, May 30 (UP) -—Next to Chicago, Venezuela was rooting hardest for the White Sox today.

The entire country was

| cheering for “Los Medias | Blancas” the White Sox, that is—as they attempted | to increase their 12-game | winning streak.

Chico Carrasquel, star Venezuelan shortstop for the Sox, is the chief reason | for all the rooting. Carrasquel suffered an injured shoulder last Sunday and the mishap took on the proportions of a national calamity.

streak. The Tribe won, 2 to 1.

“Sure, I would like to have got myself a second no-hitter, but winning was the most important thing,” Lemon said. He pitched his first no-hit, no-run victory June 20, 1948, against the Tigers.

E About the fifth inning yester- : day, the small crowd of 6280 fans realized that a possible perfect game was in the making. When Wertz shuffled up to the plate in the eighth, Lemon had no partic-! ular reason to worry. He had struck out the heavy-set outfielder on two sliders and a fast ball in the .second and had forced him] to ground out in the fifth. ” n 5 AS THE drama mounted, Lemon flashed a called strike past Wertz before offering him the “too perfect” slider which was nromptly clouted into the right field upper deck. i “When I heard Wertz bat hit OBVIOUSLY disappointed at that pitch, I got the biggest surnot getting his perfect game, L.em- prise of my life,” I.emon said. “I on nevertheless was cheered by figured he wouldn't be expecting his near-glory performance as it another slider—but in the end I snapped his four-game
