TONIGHT Members and Guests Only Modern Dancing Refreshments un d program shift as a result of Day the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Bucky Harris Toasts Joe Page As Senators Win By JACK HAND A.oria!d Prw Sport.wrtt.rl "Here's to Joe Page" remains Bucky Harris' favorite toast. Now the Washington manager celebra tes Joe's home run bill, not his relief pitching. Revenge must be sweet for the former New York Yankee Pilot who waa fired after just missing the 1943 pennant. For the second time in six days, his maligned Senators whipped Fireman Joe. Steve Nagy, drafter from the Pacific Coast league for $10,000, turned back the world champions for the second time last night, 5-4 On top of that, he won the game with an inside-the-park homer off Page in the eighth inning. Page, of course, was money in the bank for Bucky in 1847 when he won the pennant and World Seriea. In '48 Joe fell down. The Yanks missed and Bucky lost his job. Nagy'a success ia a feather in Harris' cap. He saw Steve win IS for San Francisco last year when he waa managing San Diego. On his advice, owner,, Clark Griffin drafted the 29-year-old southpaw who failed in a previous trial with Pittsburgh. Bucky waited until he hit the Yankee stadium to give Nagy his first chance. He started last Saturday and went all the way to grab a ten-inning decision. Last night was his second start. Bobby Feller, cut in salary and demoted to No. 2 boy on the Cleve land staff, is taking it out on American league batters. Bob picked up win No. 2 yes terday, cutting down the onrush ing Detroit Tigers with eight hits, 6-1. Last year Feller didn't win his second game until June 14. Boston welcomed their "Fen way park cousins" the Phila delphia A's with a 4-1 win be hind Mel Parnell. Not since Sept. 12, 1948, havt the A's won a game at Boston. The Chicago-St. Louis game in the American was rained out after 2'4 scoreless innings. Cincinnati fin ally got in the win column by whipping Chicago 3-1. Ralph Kiner took maltera into his own hands in the seventh inning with a two run homer that gave Pittsburth a 4-3 edge over the St. Louis Cards. Curt Simmons pitched like the $65,000 bonus beauty he waa sup posed to be three years ago, when the Philadelphia Phillies downed everybody .oves flowers and everybody loves to receive them.
