Red Sox Lose Twice WithWilliamsinLineup
By UNITED PRESS
Maybe even Ted Williams won't be able to get the Red Sox out of last place.
Manager Lou Boudreau said back."
But yesterday, Thumpin' Theodore returned for his first full day since he smashed his collar bone on the opening of spring training in Florida. All he did was smack two homers, a double, and five singles, batting in seven runs in nine at bats.
But all the Red Sox did was lose twice at Detroit, 7-6 and 9-8 in 14 innings. In the opener, when Williams cracked three singles, none was as vital as one by ex-Red Socker Matt Batts who delivered the winning run with a pinch-blow in the eighth. Williams' two homers and other hits in the nightcap failed to equal the importance of a homer by Ray Boone which broke up the game in the 14th inning and gave Steve Gromek his sixth victory in a relief chore. Boone also hit an earlier homer.
It was a lovely Sunday all over the major league map, but as far as the pennant races were concerned, all of the teams but Detroit and Cleveland might have just as well stayed on their front porches and spent a restful and relaxed Sabbath. Because it was a stand-off in all other double bills.
Mike Garcia pitched a one-hitter for the Indians in a 6-0 second victory after they pounded out 16 hits in a 12-7 opener over the Athletics.
After the Yankees made it six wins in a row with a 2-0 triumph on Allie Reynolds three-hitter, the Orioles rebounded for a 6-2 triumph on another three-hitter by Don Larsen.
Bob Porterfield pitched Washington to a five hit 3-1 win over Chicago after Bob Keegan won his sixth game in the opener, 10-5 as Minnie Minoza paced an 11-hit White Sox attack with a homer, triple, and single.
In the National League, Gil Hodges hit a grand slam homer, the 10th of his career to give Brooklyn a 4-2 victory over Cincinnati, after which Bud Podbielan pitched a seven-hitter and struck out eight of his ex-mates in a 7-2 triumph for the Reds.
'we'll be all right when Ted gets
Chicago pounded out 17 hits to defeat Pittsburgh 12-3, then rookie Jake Thies twirled a four-hitter for a league win in a 5-1 Paintriple trump.
Milwaukee topped the Giants in 10 innings, 3-2 as Joe Adcock drove in all three runs, then New York won a 9-2 decision as lefty Johnny Antonelli pitched a seven-hitter for his sixth win, beating his old mates.
St. Louis topped Philadelphia 7-3 when Solly Hemus hit a three-run triple for the key blow and the Phils led the Cardinals 6-3 in a six-inning curfew-suspended second game which will be completed tonight.

Detroit—(U.P.)—Mighty Ted Williams, although pleased by his sensational comeback day in which he walloped eight hits, indicated today he may have to return to the hospital soon.
Williams Shoulder In Pain While Making Eight Hits
"I think I'm going to have have this pin taken out of my shoulder," said the famed Boston boxer, Max Fews. "During yesterday's doubleheader, especially when I swung and missed a pitch late in the second game."
As for his tremendous performance, Ted shrugged and said, "It sure feels good to be back in there playing again. But I've had better days before."
Removal of the pin was expected to be only a minor bit of surgery, according to Sox officials. It was believed Williams would be hospitalized only one day and would be out of action only a week or 10 days.
Carol Stutz, education junior, was elected president of the Women's Athletic association last week at a picnic held at Potter lake.
The 35-year-old outfielder put on an astounding display at Briggs stadium as he blasted Detroit pitchers for two home runs, a double and five singles, in his second day back in action. The Tigers won both games of the twin bill, 7-6 and 9-8 (in 14 innings), but Williams was retired only once in nine at-bats.
Carol Stutz Elected President of WAA
The pin Williams referred to is a metal pin inserted in his collarbone by surgeons to help that bone knit together faster after the spring training accident in which it was broken.
The doctors had told Williams he might play all season with the pin remaining in his shoulder, depending on how it felt. Yesterday's doubleheader, in which Williams experienced pain, was the first severe test of the shoulder, although he batted twice in Saturday's game and had been taking batting practice.
Also elected were Mary Demeritt,
education junior, vice president;
Francile Aronhalt, education sophomore, treasurer, and Helen Haize, education sophomore, business manager.

Matt Batts, former Boston Red Sox catcher, pinch-hit a single for Detroit that drove in the winning run, 7-6, over the Sox.
And catcher Joe Garagola of the Cubs walloped six hits in seven trips, including two doubles, against his old outfit, Pittsburgh. His five-for-five paced a 12-3 win over the Pirates in the opening game of the twin bill.
