Wednesday, August 24, 1955, SUCCESS AT LAST BULLETIN Torrid Ted' Leads Boston Closer to American Lead By MILTON KKilMAN I ni ted Vkhh Nporti Writer Ton-id Ted Williams can't win the pennant for Ihe Red Sox ali by himself but he's sure Riving It one whale ol a try nnd worry ins all the other contenders half to death in the process. The 36-ycur-old Williams, who is averaging almost a run batted in per game since coming out of "re tirement" in late May, put on one of. his patented performances Tuesday night in leading the Red Son to an 8-.J victory over the In dians and to within 3vi games of tiic American League lead. ' Williams drove in four, runs, making a total of 63 in 67 games. as ho boosted his batting average to .344 with his 23rd homer and if r 9 5 V natal ff 1 to cover in the second inning after he loaded the bases. An infield out and Al Kuline's single put Detroit ahead 3-1 and the Yanks never were able to catch up again. Kansas City defeated Washing Ion, 4-3, despite two homers by Roy Sievers and a homer and a triple by Carlos Paula. Vic Power drove in three of the Athletics' runs with a homer and a single. Alex Kellner was the winner but he needed relief by Tom Gorman and Art Ditmnr. DwlKera End Losing Streak The Brooklyn Dodgers put a stop to their backslide with a 6-4 vic tory over the Cubs that moved them 2 games ahead of the sec ond-place Braves who were beaten by the Phillies, 4-3. In the other National League games, the Pi' rates nipped the Kedlegs, 2-1, while the Cardinals edged the Giants, 2-1. Carl yurillo's two-run homer in the seventh inning snapped a 4-all tie and earned reliel pitcher Don WHEQE THESES A Pitcher. THERE1 ALWAYS HOPS, FROM ... I American I-enRiie. W. Ir IVt.

"That disastrous finish of 1951 is bound to enter your mind from time to time, particularly when we hit a slump," the little captain confessed. "It's still hard to rea lize that we blew that one." "That one" was the pennant chase in which the Dodgers had a W.b game lead between a double header on Aug. 12 and dropped it all in a playofl with the miracle Giants. "I've been through a couple of Ihem," Reese grinned wryly as he recalled the 9Vi game August bulge which the Dodgers blew in 1942 to the Cardinals. "Sometimes, right now, it makes my meals look downright cold and I have trouble eating. Stop Panic Chatter "But we'll win two or three In a row and stop all this 'panic' chat ter," he added. "It doesn't seem possible that we could lose this one. This club hasn't let down, the players are hustling, we're getting good pitching and the only thing wrong is that we aren't hitting at the right time." In answer to those who are pre dicting another el foldo for the Dodgers, there are a number of statistics which stand out in cold rebuttal. The most important is that in 1951, the year of the great col lapse, the Dodgers held only a six-game lead over the Giants at this exact stage of the pennant TED WILLIAMS " Upi average to .344 h double. Ted's two-run homer in the third Inning was a line drive over the right field fence at the expense of loser Herb Score while lie, smashed his two-run double to IcH center off ace reliever Don MQssI in Ihe seventh. Chiefly because of Williams' llisly hitting, the Red Sox were (lie only club In the league's "lop four" to gain ground. j !

In a mere two-week span that wu Hrnnned seven and lone-halt games of their lead. From then on tney ranuu h down to the wire. Two weeks ago they held a 16'j game lead. They have dissipated 4 games of tha. lead. No Tension On t lull "But now we should e about ...j .nan nut of it." Kecse explains.

In 1951 the Giants were an inspired, hungry outfit convinced that they were destined to charge on to victory. They were led by a battling lime limn iinnii-u ruuie col,u nnd were oettintf veomnn service from such as Al Dark, Alonie irviii, uuuaui aim Sal Maglie. The challengers this time are the M;l....ntAa Rrnfr. It's A riiflni-on sort of outfit. They have been ac cused of being "spoiled" and it seems a certainty that they lack spark and aren't "hungry." With out such spurs to goad 1'iern on their lnsk is virtually ir-xssigle. It would be, apptrewly, even two 1Qril Giatlls nnsiderincr that the Dodger o he is so much greater now man u was umi sea son. As Reese insists, only "total collapse" could do It this time and such will not bo the case. Lincoln Slaps Tucson, 1 2 to 2 HASTINGS, Neb.
