HOMER WINS FOR E (Continued from Page One) happy parade across the plate. When the fateful ninth began the National leaguers appeared to have their fourth victory In the classic wrapped up. They were headed 9 to 3 by virtue of two home runs hit in successive innings by Arky Vaughn, veteran shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates, each witn a man on base.. Passeau, fourth pitcher for the National leag uers, appeared to be holding the Americans well in check. Catcher Frank Hayes, first American up in the ninth, was an easy pop-up victim, and some of the fans began moving for the exits, but Ken Keltner of Cleveland, batting for the pitch er, beat out a smash to short stop, and Lou Boudreau fol lowed with a clean single to center. Cecil Travis, worked Passeau for a walk to load the sacks and bring up Joe DiMag- gio. Joe obliged with a hard grounder to short and Keltner scored while Travis was being forced at second. Williams, who had knocked in the first run of the game in the fourth frame, worked the count to one strike and two balls and then laid into the horsehide to climax about as thrilling a tussle as the game ever produced.
