That familiar fire engine col-
marked the "hottest" players
la 6e majors today as the Cin
cinnati Redlegs ran their vie
lory strealc to eight games and
"Ted Williams of the Boston Red
2oa sent his batting average
soaring to .453.
The Redlegs looked like the
"bust of the season when they
lost six straight games to the
Milwaukee Braves. But now
they're traveling like an Ohio
liver boat passing Cincinnati
at floodtide and whipped the
Brooklyn Dodgers Tuesday night

By DON THACKERY
United Press Sports Writer
The Pacific Coast league didn't
do a very good job of getting the
fans out to the parks Tuesday
night, but came up with a near
perfect way of keeping them
there.
Only 8,740 fans turned out for
the four contests but all of them
should have been still there when
the games were over. All four
games were decided by a single
run and in every case the out
come was in doubt until the final
minute,
Sacramento and Hollywood
kept them there the longest, play
ing 14. innings before the Stars
could eke out a 5-4 decision.

To Explain
New York (U.R) The Un

allegedly accepting illegal ex
pense money.
Joe Dey, USGA executive sec
retary, said testimony before the
San Francisco grand jury . that
Ward received such expenses
from his employer, Ed Lowery,
in 1954 "would appear to be a
violation of our rules on ama
teur status."
"But we certainly will not
take any action until we heard
Ward's side of the story," he
said.
