TWO-HIT
OVER CLEVELAND
Boston Red Sox On Long
End cf 1-0 Score; Browns
Whip Nats Again.
New York Aug. 1. U.R He
had to b:c?W the heart of a game
roolde pitcher to do It, but handy
Mike P.yba, Boston's 39-year-old
"Jack-of-all-baseball-trades"
came up today with ample proof
. that r.e is master of at least one.
Ryba, who has played every
position on the diamond In his
Jong professional career, had to
talk hard to grt a starting assign
ment out of Red Sox Manager
Joe Cronln, because of his bril
liance as a relief pitcher. Today,
after Ills 1 to 0, two-hit victory
over the Cleveland Indians, he
probably would have to talk
even harder to get his bull pen
Job back.
Ho and young Steve Gromek
put on the top pitching duel of
tho season, last night and but
for the second costly ninth in
ning fielding lapse in as many
days by Ihc- defensively depend
able Indiana, the game might
havo gone on indefinitely. Each
pitcher yielded only two singles
and uromck had a no-hitter until
after two were out in the eighth.
Boston brake the scoreless tie
with an unearned run when
Mickey Hocco made a two base
muff of a grounder by George
Mctkovich and Ray Mack threw
wild to let hint score after Pete
Fox singled.
The victory kept the Red Sox
four and a half games behind
tho league leading Drowns, who
won their third straight from
Washington, 3 to 2, coming from
behind twice to turn the trick.
The Philadelphia A's defeated
the White box at Chicago in the
10th, 3 to 2.
The New York Giants won a
vital but costly victory, staying
in fourth place a half game
head of the challenging Cubs by
defeating Cincinnati, 8 to 7, with
Manager Mel Ott going out with
sprained ankle.
Chicago defeated Philadel
phia's Phillies B to 1 for its
seventh straight victory.
Hal Gregg of Brooklyn won
his first gama since Memorial
day after nine straight losses, de
feating tho St. Louis Cards, 6 to
1, on scvon hits.
Tho Pittsburgh Pirates, spark
ed by Lefty Fritz Ostormueller's
two-hit pitching job defeated
Boston, 0 to 2.

By Jack Cuddy

Lakes, 111., (navy), Parris Island,
S. C. (marines), and 20th Ar
mored Division, Camp Camp
bell, Ky. (army).

this suggestion was made edi
torially in yesterday's issue of
the "Armored News,'.' unofficial
organ of the army's
armored
forces and one of the most
widely read of all service pub
lications. Such a series would interest
service men all over the world,

war bonds. "How about the
war department and treasury
department getting these three
star teams together In a series?"

schedule, the "Armoraiders" of
Camp Campbell would tangle
with tho Parris Island marines
In a five-game series, with the
winner to meet Lt. Com. Mickey
Cochrane's Great Lakes navy
squad In a five-game series for
the service world champion
ship. Armored News picked the
Camp Campbell Armoraiders as
tho strongest team to represent

record of 41 victories in 44
games this season. Earlier In

winning streak.

Flows Again From
U. S. Distilleries
Washington, Aug. 1 (U.R)
Beverage alcohol began flowing
from the nation's distilleries '
last night for the first time
since October 8, 1942, with in
dustry sources estimating that
about 50,000,000 gallons will be
made before the month-long in
dustrial alcohol holiday ends.
The go-ahead to the distilled
spirits industry was sounded by
War Production Board Chair
man Donald M. Nelson last
month when It became appar
ent that the stockpiles of indus
trial alcohol for war uses were
great enough to dispense with
August production.
Most distillers, it Is believed,
will concentrate on neutral spir
its for subsequent blending with
aged rye and bourbon whiskey
stocks and for manufacture of
cordials and gin. I
The War Food Admlnistra- j
tion has prohibited use of corn j
in manufacture of potable alco- j
hoi but the neutral spirits will
permit producers to extend
their bourbon stocks.
