By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer The Indians are punchless, the Yankees act punchy, the Red Sox are brittle and crunchy. The Dodgers are reeling and the Giants are free-wheeling— and that's the quick size-up of _ the incredible pennant races to- : day. The Indians get fewer hits | than any team in the American * League but the last place Browns, and if they should get : into the World Series it will be the lowest team batting average since the war-time Tigers of 1945, who hit the modern low with a .265 mark.

Bosox Call Up 4 for Yank Tilts

BOSTON, Sept, 19 (UP)—The Boston Red Sox reinforced themselves for a last-ditch attempt to stay in the American League pennant race today by summoning four farm hands from Louisville to join the team in time for Friday's series opener with the New York Yankees. Two of the recruits, Outfielder Tom Wright and Shortstop Alan Richter, were with the Sox earlier in the season before being sent down to the American Association farm team on option. They will be accompanied here by First Baseman Norman Zauchin of Royal Oak, Mich, and Right-Handed Pitcher Harley (Jim) Hisner of Ft. Wayne, Ind. whose contracts the Red Sox announced they were buying from the Louisville Colonels. Hisner has a 7-13 record.

Merson Hitting .611

Johnny Merson’s three-for-three yesterday against Braves boosted the ex-Indianapolis second baseman’s hitting to .611. He played his first major league game last Friday for Pittsburgh. Since then he has hit 11 times in 18 trips and batted in 11 runs.

BEFORE THE actual shooting war starts on the nation's gridirons we plan to briefly review the team prospects in the various sectors in order to determine where the strength lies before climbing out on the prediction limb. :

The West Coast appears to be the only section where the champion is favored to retain the title, California’s over-all strength seems too potent for any of their conferees. a Outstanding field leadership is a prime requisite of every great champion. When a football team has such leadership in both line and the backfield they merit high ranking. California has this in all-America Guard Les Richter and all-America Fullback Candidate Johnny (Johnny O) Olszewski, Snapping at the Bears heels will be Howie Odell’'s Washington Huskies, assuming Don Heinrich’s shoulder injury is not of a permanent nature. - ” »
