MIL (Pf1( io) (5op Hog IN THIS BUSINESS we look for colorful guy ana gals to toss adjectives at. (jetting a whack at a good sports story is more satisfying than beat ing your wife in pinochle. Now sportswriters everywhere are drooling at the thought of Ted Williams coming back to spark the Boston Red Sox in a pennant drive. The Sox Tuesday were Vk games back of the American League-leading Yankees and . it's aouoilul even if Williams gets in shape and starts playing tunes on tne fences with his big wallop, Me can neip the Bostonlans to a pennant. But what a story It would make! Williams has been forgiven, ap parently, lor nis slightly snobbish pre-Korea attitude and he comes back a war hero a flyboy over the war zone. If he picks the Sox up with his punch it would be the best sports copy of the year. WILLIAMS hasn't been too pop ular with the boys who report sports for the big sheets. But all will be forgiven if Bos ton's Mr. Punch delivers a few lusty pokes if and when he gets back in the Boston line-up. No facctiousness is intended when we say Ted's career in the air probably brings him down to earth. If a change of attitude and a comeback with the bat results, Williams will become more fa mous than Boston's beans. . lueanwhlle, we can dream.

Win Tilts inmt By BEN FHLEGAR AP Sports Writer Could It be that New York and Chicago are going to settle down and make it a nice simple two- team race for the American League pennant? Today and tomorrow should tell the story. The Yankees have a chance to wipe out the flag hopes ior lourm-place Cleveland. The White Sox are in a position to do me same for Boston. Neither series is the kind on which you'd want to risk the fam ily jewels although both the Yanks and the White Sox looked good in winning last night. New York ran up a 4-0 margin in the first six innings against Cleveland and beat the Indians 4-2. Chicago took the measure of Boston by the same count with Same Mele, one-time member of the Red Sox, banging nome three of the four tallies. BOTH DUE Both of the winners were due for a good game. They've been running 1-2 mostly by default for the past 10 days. The Yankees hadn't looked like champions since they captured a double-header in Chicago a week ago Sunday, and the White Sox had dropped six of their last nine games But the gap is widening now. New York leads Chicago by 5j games and has an 8',2-game bulge over Boston and 9 over Cleveland. The Indians have stayed close mainly because they had won six in a row from New York. With this bubble broken, they are in danger of fading fast. Boston, on the other hand, stands to get a big psychological lift today when Ted Williams returns to Fen way Park. He was released from the Marine Corps yesterday, Whether his mere presence since he says he's not yet in shape to play will be enough to keep the Red Sox going remains to be seen. KEEPS LEAD iirooKiyn maintained its seven game edge over Milwaukee In the National League by swamping Chl cago 13-2. The Braves edged New York 2-0. Third-place Philadelphia snppca nine games Dehind by los ing o-4 to Cincinnati, and St. Louis pulled into a fourth-place tie with the Giants with a 6-4 triumph over Pittsburgh. In the other Amerlian League games, Detroit outlasted Washing ton 8-5 and Philadelphia downed St. Louis 9-7 on Ray Murray's two run homer in the eighth. The largest New York crowd in two years 57,401 showed up to watch the Yankees break their Cleveland Jinx. Joe Collins and Gil McDougald hit home runs and Uie other two Yankee tallies scored on a double by Irv Noren and a single by Phil Rizzuto In the sixth. Cleve land got Us two in the seventh on a walk, a double by Al Rosen and a single by Luke Easter The Red Sox also drew their largest crowd 35,385 to watch them lose for the third time in 13 games. The loss went against Hec tor (Skinny) Brown, who had won 10 games this year and seven in a row. Mele and Minnie Minoso ac counted for all the Chicago runs. Both had home runs. GIFT The Cubs gave the game away to Brooklyn in Chicago as a pair of errors contributed to seven un earned runs in the second inning. Johnny Podres checked the Cubs on four hits, three of them singles by Randy Jackson. Al Worthington and Hoyt Wilhelm held Milwaukee to three hits but the Braves didn't need any of them to score their two runs against the Qiants. Three walks, two sacrifices and a long fly got the runs home. Bob Buhl, who scored one of the runs, won his seventh game. Ray Jablonskl drove in half of the Cardinals' runs against Pitts burgh with a pair of singles. Cliff Chambers and Joe Presko scat tered seven Pirate hits with the only serious damage coming in the fifth inning on a three-run homer by Frank Thomas. Cincinnati scored its five runs in the first four Innings against the Phillies and Harry Perkowskl weathered a four-run uprising in the eighth to post his ninth vic toy.
