Pesky's Red Hot Red Sox Claim Fifth Straight Win By Unlttd Press International Same kids hope to row up end become president, but one former shoesbine boy would much rather be named the American League's manager of the year. And at the rate he's going, freshman manager Johnny Pesky of the first-place Boston Red Sox might make it. Pesky delights in telling about his teen-age days in the early '30s when he worked as a clubhouse boy for the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League. "I used to polish l';e shoes and sharpen the spikes lur guys like Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Mike Higgins and Frank Crosetti," the dark-eyed, 43-year-old Red Sox skipper laughs. That's all behind him now and so is the rest of the American League. Pesky's , red-hot Red Sox won their fifth straight game and took over the league lead Thursday by blanking the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Earl Wilson's two-hitter. Gets Two Hits Wilson even contributed a 379 foot triple and a single in Boston's 10-hit attack against Dan Osinski, who usually relieves for the An gels but made his first major league start. The Red Sox got to Osinski for all their runs in the first inning. The Cleveland Indians knocked the Chicago White Sox out of first place with a 5-4 victory and the Washington Senators 9-1 in the only other AL games scheduled.

Vikings Hope To Follow Glory Path Of 58 Squad The Myrtle Creek Vikings of the baseball diamond hope Saturday to follow the same route as the 19S8 Viks who clambered to the state finals in Portland. That seasoned team lost out in the championship game but brought a measure of glory this year's Viks hope to match. The team that year was more seasoned, but this year's edition is as fiercely competitive as any Coach Frosty Loghry has ever piloted. This competitive spirit will be tested as never before when the Vikings host Rogue River for the District 6-A-2 title. That sudden death game starts at 11:30 on the Myrtle Creek field.
