Blues Score Win Over N.Y. Yankees
Thank You:
FOR YOUR PATRONAGE
THIS YEAR.
Miller, recently optioned by the Yankees to the Blues, hurled five shutout innings. Only one of the Blues' runs was earned in the loosely-played contest. The Yankees committed five errors.
In the Independent A league Sigma Gamma Epsilon defeated the Air Force in a 23 run slugfest. The geologists won 14-9. The Faculty Fossils showed they still had the spark left by defeating the Sportsmen 4-2.
The Blues' first run came in the third innning. Mickey Owen doubled and scored on Bob Cerv's overthrow of Bob Marquis's grounder. Singles by Bill Skowron, Bill Renna, and Art Mazmanian produced a run for the Blues in the fourth. Cerv's error on a force play allowed the final Blue tally in the seventh.
Yankee scoring came on a single by Bob Brown, a walk to Jim Brideweiser, and a single by Gene Woodling.
Bob Kuzava, Tom Morgan and Jim McDonald pitched for the Yanks and were raked for nine hits.
Intramural softball teams completed their second round of play yesterday with only the championship games to be played in the Independent A league and the Fraternity B.

Red Sox Switch Brings Club to 2nd Place Tie
New York—(U.P.)—Lou Boudreau put his rolllicking Red Sox back in the running today by switching to his home park line-up on the road after his road gang had previously crossed things up by winning consistently at home.
The new crew, which in reality was the old veterans going back into action, put the Red Sox into a virtual second place tie with Washington yesterday with a 3 to 2 decision over Tiger ace Art Houtteman at Detroit.
The only youngster to star in the production was rookie pitcher Bill Henry, who got credit for his fifth victory against but one defeat, although two old timers, Ellis Kinder and Mel Parnell, had to help him out with relief pitching stints.
Boudreau's "new" infield consisted of Johnny Pesky at third, Stephens at short and Goodman at second with rookies Jimmy Pierlsall at short and Ted Lepeio at second riding the bench.
Boston clinched things in the seventh when Don Lenhardt doubled and went to third as Vernon Stephens singled. Clyde (The Clutch) Vollmer drove in Lenhardt with a fly. Billy Goodman, back in at second base, singled and a fly by Walt Dropo scored Stephens with the winning run.
Henry had most of his trouble in the first two innings when Detroit made five of the seven hits he yielded. Thereafter he settled down until Kinder came in to protect his margin in the seventh. He gave up three more hits and one run, and Parnell quenched a Tiger rally in the ninth inning.
In the only other game played and completed yesterday, Giant ace Sal Maglie blanked the Pirates, 4 to 0, for his seventh straight victory this year without a loss and his 10th straight in a two-season skein. Bobby Thompson drove in all of the runs with a double and two singles, giving him a total of 28 runs batted in for the year. It was the 13th

straight time Magieh had defeated the Bucs and the shutout reduced his earned run average to a remarkable 1.01. Pittsburgh's seven hits were all singles and in only one inning were two of them put together.
The victory put the Giants back into a first place tie with the Dodgers, who struggled with the Cubs and the rain for six innings before their game was called off with the score 1-all.
Billy Loes of the Brooks and Turk Lown of the Cubs hooked up in a fulet duel. Lown gave up only one hit, a scratch single in the fifth to Duke Snider. But he walked seven men, four of them in the third when the Dodgers scored their run without a hit. The Cubs made six hits off Loes, but he bumed them down with strikeouts, fanning seven including five in a row, all swinging in the first two innings. The Cubs got their run in the fourth walk to Toby Atwell and a double by Hal Jeffcoat.
