BoSox Stall Wins; Nats By the Associated Preul If the Boston Red Sox ever catch up with the New York Yankees in their season-long American league pennant chase, most of the credit must be given to their much maligned pitching staff. In the last five weeks, during which time the Red Sox have picked up six and a half games on the front - running Yankees, Boston hurlers have pitched 25 complete games in 34 starts. As a result, they've won 25 of them to whittle their deficit to five and a half games. On July 4 the Red Sox trailed the leaders by 12 games. Ellis Kinder, the Red Sox' righthanded ace, is the latest to go the route. He finished what he started last night, beating the Yankees, 6-3, for his 13th victory against five losses. Kinder permitted the Yankees 10 hits, including a pair of home runs by Outfielder Hank Bauer, but an early 5-0 lead furnished . by Birdie Tebbetts and Ted Wil-i Hams barried him through. Teb Hillsboro Snares Legion Title, Berth in District Albany, Ore., Aug. 10 m ' Hillsboro captured the Oregon American Legion junior base ball .championship .last .night and a berth in the regional tournament starting in Portland Friday. ' The upstate team won the crown by drubbing the Portland Byerly's 11 to 1, in a second game of the night after the chal lengers from the big city edged Hillsboro, 9 to 8, in the first. A hillsboro victory in that initial game would have given the previously unbeaten team the crown on six straight, but it wasn't that easy. In that first game, Byerly's took an early lead and then snuffed off a ninth inning Hillsboro rally at one run to squeeze out the 9 to 8 win. Hillsboro got eleven hits off Jim Peterson, who went the route, but he had scattered them effectively in all but two in nings. The second game was vir tually no contest, with five runs In the fifth icing the crown for Hillsboro. Jim Nier man, who played first base in the initial contest, hurled two hit ball while his team mates loosed a 12-hit barrage off three Portland pitchers. Named outstanding players were Byerly's Ray Hyde, a pitcher; Hillsboro's Bobby Frantz, an infielder; Dave Mon tagne, Byerly outfielder and Jerry La Blanc, Hillsboro, top Stars Trim (By the Associated Press) The Hollywood story (the baseball team) is an amazing one. From June 1 through Aug. 9, the Stars won 36 games and lost 35, a little better than .500 ball, Yet, today they still lead the Pacific Coast league by' 5 ',4 games. On June 2, their lead was six games. PCL Standings (By the Associated Press) w L Pet.

It is unusual, to say the least, for a club playing 50-50 ball to maintain such a wide lead. But there's a reason for it. On June 2, San Diego and Seattle were in second and third place. Since then San Diego and Seattle have played .471 and .479 ball, respectively the only two teams to fare worse than Holly wood. . Sacramento and Oakland are now in second and third place. They were in the second divi ion on June 2. With such mathematical luck and the way they played Tues day night the Stars look like a good bet to stay in front the rest of the way. The Stars spotted Portland two runs in the first inning and then went n to win 6 to I. It was Pinky Woods' 17th win. Ken Holcombe, ace of second place Sacramento's mound staff, won his 10th win in a row as he set down Los Angeles with five hits for a 11 to 4 triumph. Jim Tabor hit his third homer in two nights. Jackie Jensen, often a hero for California on the gridiron, was just that for the Oakland Oaks. He slammed a ninth lnninr grand slam homer to break up a tight pitching duel and give the Oaks a 6 to 2 vic tory over Seattle. His clout came off Guy Fletcher, the league's winningest pitcher. Earlier, Jackie had slammed In another run with a single and ended a Seattle threat with a gasp-making catch. The San Diego-San Francisco tilt was postponed on account Yanks; Tribe Still Knotted betts parked one of Vic Raschi's offerings for a two-run homer in the second, and William dup licated the catcher's feat in the third. A capacity crowd of 35,691 was made happy by Boston's first victory of the season over Raschi, a note of disappoint ment crept in, however, by the inability of Dom OiMaggio to prolong his consecutive game hitting streak.

"So far as this talk about re moving the franchise from Sa lem is concerned," Healy con tinued, "I doubt if the league would authorize any such trans fer. , "There was a great deal of trouble when the franchise was moved to Salem from Belling ham before the war, and they'd have just as much if not more trouble trying to shift it out of here." Healy, who was connected with the management of the Bellingham club for a year in pre-war days summed up the opinion of his backers and him self by flatly stating: "Salem is a good baseball town. All it needs is a ball club." Meanwhile, George Emigh, business manager for the Sa lem Senators, disclosed that Mulligan had come to Salem Tuesday to study the "reaction" to accounts that the franchise be sold or transferred. He added a new lure to the sales campaign line by point ing out that the Salem school board might figure in plans. One of the proposals in the past has been for the school group to purchase the physi cal plant of the park while the franchise is sold separate ly. Frank Bennett, " superintend ent of Salem schools, however, said that the idea had been discussed, but not with any individual or group interested in the purchase of the club. He said that no new approach had been made to him and that he doubted if board members had been asked for opinions.

Bremerton had left off with two runs in the first inning off Salem starting Hurler Jim Ol- sen, and Salem got back one of these tallies in the top half of the second. Another Brem uprising in the sixth shoved the Tars out front 4 to 1. Salem went to work on Brem erton chucker Dave Dahle in the seventh inning, and before the Solon half of that frame was completed, Dahle was yank ed in favor of John Marshall and the Oregonians had pushed across five runs to give them 6-4 advantage. nut the hometowners came back strongly in their half of the seventh, sending Olsen to the showers as they racked up pair of runs. That knotted the count at 8-all. Jimmy Foster and Bill Os- born finished out the pitching duties for Salem, holding Brem erton scoreless.

Larruping Lloyd posted a one over par 37, his worst nine holes of the AU-American golf tourna ment, as he started the final round yesterday. Meanwhile Snead overcame a five-stroke third round deficit with a 32 and pulled up eyen. But on the final nine, while Mangrum kept plugging, Snead gave away the tournament on the final green with those pitiful putts which have plagued him for a decade on the tournament circuit. And when it was all over, Mangrum had i. last round of 72 for a victorious 276 total, while Snead's 68 gave him only a second place 277. Mangrum's $3,323 triumph raised his earnings to $20,548.83 for the year compared to $25, 893.83 for Snead, in first place for the season. Snead's take in this contest was $2,333 for sec ond place.

Charles Rules Favorite To Stop Gus New York, Aug. 10 m Ezzard Charles rules a solid 5 to 18 favorite to punch 34-year-old Gus Lesnevich full of holes tonight at Yankee stadium in the first defense of his newly-won NBA heavy weight boxing championship. The 15-round bout is scheduled for 7 p. m. (Pacific Daylight time). Only 49 days after he cauti ously outboxed Jersey Joe Wal- cott to win the crown, the lean 28-year-old Cincinnati Negro rushes to the post in an effort to convince New York skeptics of his right to be called "champ." No matter how soon he may knock out Gus, if at all, Charles will not be champ in New York state. Eddie Eagan, chairman of the state Athletio commission, has ruled the winner must meet Lee Savold or "some suitable opponent" before he gives his official blessing. Ezzard is king in the other 47 states. It figures to be a good fight, while it lasts, perhaps even sen sational, lor Lesnevich is pre pared to shoot the works early. The vet from Cliffside Park, N. J. can punch with either hand. He says he will go to Charles' body but may surprise by head hunting with his stiff left hook. Al Weill, IBC matchmaker, was busy on the overseas tele phone yesterday, lining up Sa vold, the Englewood, N. J. vet eran, for a shot at the Charles Lesnevich winner. After Bill Daly, Savold's manager, agreed, provided Bruce Woodcock's re tirement became definite, our Brucie changed his mind and de cided to fight.
