American Loop Lead Again Knotted
Bosox Lose To
Washington In
Ninth, 2 To 1
Yanks Blow 4-Run Lead,
Then Defeat Athletics;
Cardinals, Dodgers Idle
By RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer.
"If you can't beat m, buy
'em."
That's the advice Boston fans
ar offering the Rod Sox man
agement today following Rae
Scarborough's 21 triumph for
Washington over the Sox last
night that dumped the losers Into
a first place American IcaRue tie
with the New York Yankees.
The Sox management attempt
ed to buy Scarborough from
Washington last winter, hut no
soap. Owner Clark Griffith
couldn't use one of Tom Yaw
key's silvermlnes.
Scarborough upset the Red Sox
American league pennant drive
last year and his victory last
right may ruin their current
holies.
The Senator righthander beat
Boston three times In 1948, in
cluding a 4-2 triumph a year ago
last night that the Sox blamed
for their eventual tie with Cleve
land and their eventual loss in
the plavoff.
Boston entered last night's
game boasting an 11 game win
ning streak and aware that a de
feat would knock them Into a tie
with the Yanks, who had downed
the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-5, In
the afternoon.
Scarborough's 13th victory was
not achieved until the last half
of the ninth Inning. Scarborough
had allowed only four hits and
fanned seven but a fluke double
by his opposing pitcher, Chuck
Stohbs, and Dom DiMaggio't line
single resulted In a run in the
sixth inning.
But Stohbs, who had yielded
only our blows, blew up In the
ninth. The Senators put runners
on first and third with only one
out. Al Kozar then slashed a sin
gle to left to score Gil Cnan with
the t Icing run, Stobbs was
through
Relief Hurler. Fail
Kills Kinder, 23 game winner,
came In to relieve. Sam Dente,
who played brilliantly afield,
greeted Kinder with a single to
right hut Ed Robinson, who was
on second, was forced to stop at
third as Al Zarilla fielded the
ball quickly.
Lefty Mel Parnell was rushed
In to face pinch hitter Buddy
Lewis, a lelthanded hitter. The
Senators put on the squeeze play
but Parnell delected the move
and pitched so wide to Lewla that
he couldn't reach the hall and
Robinson was an easy out at the
plate, Kozar moving to third.
Parnell followed up the break
with a wild pitch and Kozar
romped home with the winning
run on the errant heave.
The Yanks successfully worked
the squeeze play In nipping the
Athletics. The New Yorkers blew
a 40 lead, the As scoring five
runs In the seventh inning to go
out In front hut the Yanks came
right hack with three in their half
to win.
Lefty Alex Kellner walked Bil
ly Johnson with the base, loaded
to force home the Yanks' first
run in their seventh inning rallv.
Phil Rlzzuto then squeezed llarik

The Grouse Is about what a
hunter would expect the Grouse
to be. only nigger.
And the Capercallle?
"It looks as big as a turkey
hut has a chunkier build," BumD
told a reporter.
Bump returned this week from
a four-month field study of game
species In Sweden, Finland, Nor
way, Denmark and Scotland.
He sent back from Sweden
more than 50 Grouse and Caper

birds, we may try them out In

BOY'S PLEA WINS
He'll See Grid
Tilt Of Huskies
And Notre Dame
SEATTLE, Sept. 29. IV
The luck o' the Irish held Wed
nesday for Patrick Murphy.
The Seattle 10-year-old is going
to see Notre Dame play Washing
ton Saturday after all and as
the special guest of Irish Coach
Frank Leahy.
A few days ago there didn't
seem a ghost of a chance of Pat
seeing the big grid game. It has
been a sellout for weeks. And
who was Patrick Murphy that he
should have hopes of any "pull"
with the folks who count when
a fellow needs a ticket?
As one Irishman to another,
Pat 'wrote to Coach Leahy de
scribing himself and adding:
"As I want very much to see
this game, I wonder If you could
helo me.
"Maybe I could be a mascot or
an office boy or do something for
your team while you are here, in
order to get to the game.
"If this is impossible, I would
like to meet you anyway and also j
tne players, or mayne you could
even find time to visit our school.
"Hoping for an Irish victory,
"very truly yours,
"Patrick Carr Murphy."
He proudly showed his St.
Joseph's school classmates Wed
nesday a one-paragraph letter to
Mr. Patrick Murphy, which said:
"Your recent letter pleased me
immensely. It was most enjoyable
hearing from you. Kindly call on
us at the Olympic hotel in Seattle
and we will see that you witness
the game.
"Sincerely,
F. Leahy."
Cardinals Lose
Jitters, Shown
Against Pirates
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 29 (JO
Manager Eddie Dyer declared to
day that his St. Louis Cardinals
had overcome their bad case of
Jitters. And predicted they would
go on to win the National league
flag.
Billy Meyer, whose Pittsburgh
Pirates have done more than any
other team to prevent the pen
nant from flying in St. Louis,
thinks today's final clash bet
ween the Pirates and Cardinals
will decide the race.
"If the Cards can beat Dick
son (Pittsburgh pitcher Murray
Dickson) today," Meyer said,"
They're In. If they don't, then
Brooklyn most likely will over
take them "
Meyer, whose Bucs have beat
en the Cards 11 times in 21 en
gagements this season, express
ed surprise over the nervousness
of the Redbirds in Tuesday
night's game which Pittsburgh
won. 6-4.
"They (the Cards) .played as
if they were stagestruck," he
said. "We didn't win that game.
The Cards threw it away. I
wouldn't have believed that such
veterans like Marty Marlon and
Red Schoendienst would be as
nervous as they looked against
us."
