up with a nifty shutout. Even Tex Hughson, back from a stay in the lower minors to bake the miseries from his sore arm, popped up with a relief victory. Of course, the Sox have been picking on the weak sisters of the league during their current i if Ted Nettled- it his first, victories since he shut out the Yankees in April. Mel Parnell, Joe Dobson. Jack Kramer, Ellin Kinder and Denny Galehouse have worked' the route during the Sox surge.

There was a time in May while the Red Sox were on their first western trip that Dobson was the only winning pitcher over a 15-game stretch. Durable Joe copped three but that was all. Apparently inspired by the cannonading of the Boston wrecking gang, the pitchers have taken heart. Galehouse, who had thrown only one nine-inning job, turned Final Prep Pairings Set Atlantic will meet Wilson of Cedar Rapids and Kanawha will tangle with Monday night at Pioneer Memorial Stadium in the first of the two-day summer high school baseball tourney finals. The Iowa High School Athletic association announced the pairing's Saturday morning, with the Atlantic-Cedar Rapids game set for 7 p.

m. and the Kanawha-Waverly tilt at 8:30 p. m. The championship game will be played Tuesday at 8:30 p. m.

Waverly won its way into the finals with a 7-2 victory over the fall and spring championship Monona nine Friday night while Atlantic won from Sioux Center, 5-1. Cedar Rapids qualified Thursday with a 4-0 decision over Iowa City. Kanawha won its berth with a 3-2 triumph over Whitte-more Wednesday, accorie streak, beating St. Louis four and Chicago five. But they have swept 19 of 23 against all comers since June 4.

Ted Williams, who missed 15 games due to a torn rib cartilage, returned to the lineup Friday and immediately made known his presence. He collected two hits, including a double with the bases full, to back up Harris' five-hit job for a rollicking 13-1 romp. This cleared the stage for the most important series of the year at Fenway Park as Cleveland came in for a doubleheader today and a single Sunday. It's possible for the Red Sox to take over first place before Monday's open date. 1 1 Ted Williams, back in a me for the Red.

Sox for the Grizzlies skipper, "but he pitched a truly fine game. "When Moisan gets a little better control of his fast ball, he'll be a great pitcher." Thwarted five times in the first seven games of this jaunt, the Bruins tonight move to the spacious playground of Pueblo's league leaders. The Des Moines pitching assignment is scheduled for Bob Kelly, who hasn't scored a victory since he shut out Sioux City Jun? i. This is the tenth and last day of shortstop Don Alfano's span on the temporarily disabled list. The brief retirement was expected to cure the bone bruise on shy Don's left thumb.

But Alfano says the injury is "just as sore as it was a week ago," so Eddie McDade may have the first time since July 9, seems to disagree with Umpire Red Jones on a called third strike in the third inning of the game with the Chicago White Sox at Boston Friday. He struck out this once but later got a base on balls, a single and a douWe with the bases full as the Red won, 13-1. White Sox catcher is Mike Tresh.

BRUINS' KRUCKMAN'S PLAY COSTLY trate BOSTON, MASS. () Now that Joe McCarthy has found some pitching, the Boston Red Sox look like the roughest club in the American league. It used to be an occasion for a 24-gun salute when a Sox hurl-er went the route. Now they go nine innings every day. In the club's nine-game winning streak, still unbroken, the starting pitcher has been there at the finish seven times.

Boo Fer-riss is the only pitcher who failed to last and he missed twice. Mickey Harris, a consistent failure all summer, has two recent complete games to his cred- vr Indian Pilot Says Paige's Pitch Legal By Oscar Fraley. NEW YORK, N. Y. (U.P.) Leroy (Satchel) Paige's outlawed hesitation pitch Is not an illegal delivery according to Cleveland Manager Lou Boudreau but Coach Muddy Ruel had been trying to get Paige to abandon it anyhow.

Ruel argued that it gave the baserunner too much time for larceny. "Satch" apparently is the new "Dizzy" Dean. The great Dean couldn't even remember his name, using both Jay Hannah and Jerome Herman. Paige tells one writer he never eats anything but filed food and (lie next minute tells another he only eats his victuals boiled. But "Satch," who seems to hav been pitching the greater part of a half century, contends he won't be 41 until September.

Which makes him just a boy as Negro players go. Dick Redding was winning games at 49; John Beckworth hit a 4S5-foot homer at 47; Smoky Joe Williams pitched until he was 50 and John Henry Lloyd played first base for the Lincoln Giants until he was 55. Start warmin up, Satchel. Hollywood is ready to market the "Babe Ruth Story" and it's going to cost baseball a lot of fans. For they've made the uproarious life of the Babe into a phony, tear-jerking melodrama from start to finish, twisting practically every phase of the Babe's life under the head of "poetic license." That must mean a permit to murder.

The picture had a sneak preview after a banquet. It was a double feature dinner the steak came first the turkey later Biuky Harris, Xew York Yankee manager, was glad to see Charley Keller get back into the lineup after being out six weeks with a broken hand. But Harris had palpitation when Keller committed an error which almost blew the crucial third and series-deciding game against the Cleveland Indians. With the Yanks leading, 6-5, Keller pulled a two-base error in the ninth inning. But the Yanks put out the fire and saved the game.

"Charley broods when he pulls boner," Harris explained. "If Cleveland had won the game on his eiTor, I'd probably have had one less outfielder. He'd probably have cut his own throat."

Tonight's two games finish out the first round of action as Adel, Stratford, Perry and Quincy, 111., i Finding Iowa's championship semipro club was a daytime task until this year, and except for Sunday games, getting fans into the picturesque Adel ball park 4T 1 was a chore.

But now things have changed. The powgr of night baseball has provided George DeFord of the Adel Chamber of Commerce and his aides with larger crowds than the daytime ball produced daily through the last few years. DeFord, the young man who Inherited th guidance of the meet this year, expect a Jammed Iiouno tonight- th hometown team is going into action. Opposing Adel will be a squad of "foreigners" from Quincy, 111., who recently won the southeast Iowa district tournament. DeFord lias no idea of the Quincy club's strength, but insists "they must be pretty good." "Quincy beat some of the best semipro teams in eastern Iowa in the district, so we expect to see something first rate when they appear," says DeFord.

The rumor floating through the cool Friday night air (it didn't sound feasible) was to the effect that Quincy is some kind of a sideline farm team of the Three-I league's Quincy Gems. Among the Adel players are three one-time Iowa U. teammates Bud Flanders, Howard Sinnard and Ed Browne. Browne, a catcher, is due to become the No. 1 Hawk backstop next spring.

Flanders was graduated in 1947, while Sinnard is now at Max Mabie, Waterloo's first baseman, flew here from South Dakota to play with the defend-1 to continue at short through Sunday's doubleheader with the Colorado Dodgers. Notes and Quotes: Denver, still the merest fraction behind Pueblo, now has won 31 of its last 39 games, a .795 pace. Says Batfe Didrikson Zaharias, the refined Amazon who saw a couple of the Des Moines games: "I'm going to buy a plane to use to keep my golf dates if I can get one big enough for George (her 300-pound-plus husband, former wrestler and now a Denver promoter)," Denver's new park, which will be ready for the final 14-day home stand, will have the highest lights in organized ball. The light towers rise 100 feet above the top of the grandstand, which is 30 feet above the playing surface. The field itself is a mile above sea level.

Brown was picked up for speeding, but when he appeared before Municipal Judge Perry B. Jackson, the fine was suspended on the condition "that you bring home another football championship." This is the second time that Judge Jackson has waived speeding charges with reservations.
