RED SOX TAKE OVER 1ST IN AL . Unitid Prtii International , Some kids hope to grow up nd become president, but one former shoeshine boy would much rather be named the American league's manager of the yeai. And at the rate he's going, freshman manager Johnny Pesky of the first-place Bos ton Red Sox might make it. Pesky delights in telling about his teen-age days In the early '30s when he worked as a clubhouse boy for the Port land club of the Pacific Coast league. "I used to polish the shoes and sharpen the spikes for the guys like Joe DIMaggio, Ted Williams, Mike Higgins and Frank Crosetti," the dark eyed, 43-year-old Rod Sox skipper laughs. , That's all behind him now and so is the rest of the Amer ican league. Peiky's red-hot Sox won their fifth straight game and took over the league lead Thursday by blanking the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Earl Wilson's two-hitter. Preakness Trainer Express Optimism By RAY AYRES Baltimore - IUPD - Optimism ran high at Pimlico today. with the trainers of Candy Spots, Never Bend and Cha, teaugay each confident that his horse was ready for thi race of his life Saturday in the 87tn running of the sjlHu,- 000 Preakness Stakes. Eight 3-year-olds are sched uled to start in the second of the Triple Crown classics. Candy Spots ones again is the favorite, just as he was in the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago. But Candy Spots failed at Churchill Downs, suffering the only defeat of his career when he finished third behind Darby Dan Farm's Chateau gay and Cain Hoy Stable's Never Bend. "He looks a little harder than he did for the Derby," said Mesh Tenney, who trains Candy Spots for Rex C. Ells ' worth, indicating he believed the son of Nlgromante was sharper now than he was at 1 uisville. Saltsiltd With Chaiaaugir Jim Conway, who trains Derby winner Chateaugay, was undaunted.

The Red Sox got to Osinski for all their runs in the first inning. - - The Cleveland Indians knocked the Chicago White Sox out of first place with a 5-4 victory and the Baltimore Orioles battered the Washing. ton Senators 9-1 in the only other AL games scheduled, Alv's Beats Brosuan Max Alvls' homer off Jim Brosnan in the ninth inning gave the Indians their vic tory over the White Sox. John Buzhardt started for Chicago and had a 2-1 lead until Joe Adcock's three-run double put the Tribe ahead 4-2, in the eighth. Dave Nicholson's two- run double in the top of the ninth tied the score and set the stage for Alvls' fourth homer. Pedro Ramos, Cleve land's third pitcher, was cred. Hed with his first victory. Brooks Robinson drove in four runs for the Orioles and mile workout than the trainer desired. But the colt has ihown no 111 effects and ap pears to be in high fettle and Conway promies Chateaugay "will run as good or better than he did in Louisville." Wooi' Stephens, who trains Never Bend, second in the Derby, said he was completely satisfied with the way that colt has come up to the race after a workout Thursday. He said, "I thought It was as smooth and easy a workout as I've ever seen Never Bend put In." The same Jockeys who rode in the Derby again handle the big three," with Willie Shoe maker on Candy Spots, Manny Ycaza on Never Bend and Braulio -eza on Chateaugay. The Preakness is a cross roads for Chateaugay, who can move a littl closer to a clean sweep of the Triple Crown classics by adding the Prepkness to his Derby tri umph. The Belmont Stakes on June 8 completes the golden series. Eight Win Triple Throughout racing history only eight horses have won all three races - Sir Barton, Gallant Fox, Omaha, War Ad miral, Whirlaway, Count Flf ot, Assault and Citation. Three other horses had the chance Chateaugay seeks in Saturday' mile and three- sixteenth Preakness. But Car ry Back, Tim Tarn and Pen- live blew the opportunity by falling in the Belmont Stakes after winning the first two. Candy Spots Is favored at 8-5 with Chateaugay and Never Bend each listed at 5-2. But there is growing sup- r -t for N -er Bend because the Preakness is one-r' -teenth of a mile shorter than the Derby and Never Bend still was in front at Churchill Downs with a sixteenth ot a mile to go. The other starters Include Rural Retreat, County Squire, Lemon Twist and On My Honor.

Manager Walt Alston says everytime he picks up newspaper he reads about dis sension on his ball club. He probably isn't doing much rending lately or he would have notived a conspic uous absence of such stories. Eight victories in 11 games will do it all the time and that's been the Dodgers' pace since May 5 when they began climbing from seventh place. They're second now and have apparent designs of moving even higher. Southpaw Johnny Podres scored his first victory in more than three weeks Thurs day night when he went the distance for the first time since April 24 in beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0. . Podres scattered seven hits, struck out five and walked only one as he took only an hour and 50 minutes to record his second victory of the sea son. " Loser Don Schwall also gave up seven hits, including two in the ninth inning that did him in. Gilliam Scores Winner Jim Gilliam opened the ninth with a single, moved up on a sacrifice and went to third on an infield out. Wally Moon was' purposely passed and John Roseboro followed with a single to center that scored the only run of the game. . , The league leading San Francisco Giants kept pace by edging the New York Mets 6-5, the Chicago Cubs clipped Match Format Told For Appearance of Net Stars An eight-game pro set, reg ular six-game sets on a two of three basis and a doubles match.

Mike Barnes' two run home run and Stu Young's triple in the second inning were big blows which helped the Tor nado overcome its deficit and go ahead. The Bruins caught up but the Twisters unleashed more batting fury and went in front for keeps. Young and Dick Def f ley each had three hits in five plate appearances. Young drove in three runs and Deft- ley knocked in two along with Dan Miles, Don Anderson and Barnes.
