r Philadelphia Defeats Sox In Two Games Yanki Now Thrtc Games Ahtad After Double Victory Over Senators By JACK HAND Assoctatad Praas Sporu Writer Doff your lid to Connie Mack. The old boy hit It right on the nose when hev said hl Phila delphia As could decide the Amer ican league race. "They'll have to beat the Ai first," he said last week. He wasn't kidding. Yesterday he proved It for the benefit of the Boston Red Sox. who suffered two shocking setbacks at Shibe park. The Sox, only a half game be hind New York Saturday aft ernoon after the Yanks lost the first game of a doubleheader to Washington, now are three full games back. Furthermore, they nave only 15 to play. Belts Athletics Boston belted the As 14 out of 20 this season until they blew yesterday's pair, 6-4 and 4-0. It may have cost them the. pen nant However, Mr. Mack's gang also has three more dates with the Yankees In the last week of sV. the season. New York took care of Wash ington, 20-5 and 2-1, setting a new major league record in the opener by drawing 11 bases on balls from the Senators' "pitch ers" during a 12-run rally In the third inning. The second game was called because of darkness after 51 Innings with the eel laritea missing a chance to tie by some inept base running. Chicago Shut Out Detroit continued its surge, as Virgil Trucks shut out Chicago, 1-0, for the Tigers' 10th straight win. They have won 18 of their last 20 and hold third place, a half game ahead of the defend ing world champion Cleveland Indians. The Indians lost at St. Louis, 5-4. The Tigers are 5J games behind the Yanks with only 14 to go. They could do It but It would require a miracle finish. Stan Musial smashed three hom ers, upping his season total to 32, in the St. Louis Cardinal's double killing of Cincinnati, 7-5, and 7-4. The victories added a half game to their National league lead, which now is 11 games over Brooklyn. Dodgers Beat Giants The Dodgers pumped across six runs In the seventh Inning, in cluding a grand slam homer by Carl Furillo, to whip the New York Giants, 10-5. Shortstop Pee Wee Reese was injured during the big Inning when hit by a ball thrown by Larry Jansen. X-rays dispelled early fears of an elbow fracture but It Is not defi nite when he will be able to V. play. Ken Helntzelman and Russ Meyer pitched the Phillies to a pair of wins over the stagger ing Boston Braves. 31 and 6-3. As a result the Phils' hold on third place now is six games and the Braves, 1948 league champs, have been eliminated mathemati cally from the race. Ralph Kiner, only bright spot In the Pittsburgh picture, hit his 45th and 46th homers in the Pi rates' 7-3 decision over Chicago.

I HANSEN I I MOTOR CO. I Oak 4 Stephens Phone 446 mm awarded to Stojack. In the preliminary, Pierre La Belle oecisioned rough new comer, Pete Bartu in two out of three-fall affair. Much action was supplied wrestling fans In the main event by Weaver's rough tactics and Stojck's aggressiveness. Weaver pulled one of his old tricks in the first fall, when with about four minutes gone, Stojack went to his corner to tie his shoe. As he came out he offered to shake Weaver's hand. Weaver craftily stuck out his hand, then sudden ly applied his famous neck crack er to take the fall In four min utes, 18 seconds. Fall Takes 24 Minutes The second fall was 24 minutes long, Stojack . finally getting Weaver in an almlane snin aiter many unsuccessful tries. The final action started when Weaver ap plied a neaniocK ana stojack threw him Into the ropes. But Weaver bounced off the strands and clamped on the headlock. Again Mojack threw weaver Into the ropes. This time as Weaver bounced off, Stojack caught llm and applied a long airplane spin, reversing it three times, appar ently wanting to win the matcn then and there. Weaver vainly tried to come out for the third fall and fell flat on his face. He appealed to both Stojack and the Wrestling commission but neither would give him more than the alloted five minutes rest period, and the fall was award ed to Stojack. Bad Reputation Pete Bartu, newcomer to the local mat, gave himself a bad reputation with local mat fans, with his biting, gouging, and hair pulling in a matcn with popular Pierre LaBelle. Bartu won the first fall with a hammerlock after repeatedly ramming La Belle's head against the ring post, in 17:50. After more hair Dulling, eve gouging. and biting by Bartu, La Belle came back to take the second fall In 10 minutes flat with fly ing mares and a body press.
