Hassett Leads Yanks To
3-1 Win Over Boston 2
Games Played For Charity
By Judsoa Bailey
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
There probably are some
people - with memories long
enough to remember away back
to the time this spring when the
New York Yankees had a first
base problem.
In fact the world champions
nave had a first base problem
ever since Lou Gehrig stepped
out of the lineup in 1939, but
John Aloysius (Buddy) Hassett
has provided a reasonably good
solution In recent week.
When the good-looking Irish
man replaced Ed Levy at first
at the end of April he hit a
homer in his first game and
compiled a modest eight-game
batting streak. Now he is
loose on another string of five
games and yesterday he pro
vided for all New York runs
in a 3-1 victory over the Boston
Red Sox.
He singled two tallies across

the Sox after the first Inning.
Browns Win
The game was played at
Cleveland for the benefit of
army and navy relief -funds and
netted $9,390.86 from 7,939 fans.
Another game for the same
charity was played at twilight
In St. Louis and raised $8,500
from 8,498 fans as the Browns
beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. -
Curt Davis pitched the Brook
lyn Dodgers to their second
straight ahutout with a two-hit
show that stopped the Philadel
phia Phils 3-0.
It was Davis' sixth victory
opposite one defeat and his sec
ond ahutout In three game.
The Boston Braves held de
terminedly to second place In
the National league by nosing
out the New York Giant 3-1 on
Max West's two-run homer in
the 11th inning.
The St Louis Cardinals
shelled five Chicago pitchers for
13 hits to overpower the Cubs
10-2 while Ernie White kept
eight hits scattered.
