By Joe Reichler (P) Sports Writer Shades of 1919? Can the Chicago White Sox duplicate the feat of their predecessors of 32 years ago? And we don't mean the World Series. The similarity between the two clubs is striking. Both finished in sixth place the previous campaign. Both began the new season under new leadership.

Both were picked to finish deep in the second division. And both got off to flying starts. The 1919 Sox, ably piloted by freshman manager Bill (Kid) Gleason, went on to win the pennant. Can the '51 Sox, under the leadership of newcomer Paul Richards, do the same? Last night the Sox whipped the Senators in Washington for the third straight time, 9-8. That made it six victories in a row, nine of 11 on the road this year, and 18 wins against nine defeats for the season.

Yesterday's triumph kept the club in second place, two lengths in back of the defending champion Yankees, who beat the St. Louis Browns, 6-1. Boston's Red Sox tamed the Detroit Tigers, 6-3, to move past Washington into fourth place, a half game behind the Bengals. Cleveland the Philadelphia Athletics, clipped. in a night affair.

In the limited National league action, front running Brooklyn outscored the Pirates 17-8, and the Boston Braves thrashed the Cardinals 7-2, to displace St. Louis in the third slot. Rain forced the postponement of contests between York and the Cubs in Chicago, and Philadelphia and the Reds in Cincinnati. The Braves took advantage of a dozen St. Louis bases on balls and chipped in with eight hits including Bob Elliott's eighth home run to win from the Cards.

Warren Spahn spaced seven hits for his fourth triumph. Red Munger was the loser. The rim of the Dead Sea is the lowest land surface on the earth. The Dead Sea is 1,286 feet helow sea level. Canadian Ace, BRA SEER ALE MADE IN U.SAL, J.

CHICAGO, I Baker Claims He Gets Fuel From Eating Honey Big Seven Dash Champ Feels He Gets Added Speed From Nature's Refinery Most high speed machines depend on some type of multioctane fluid for their propelling force, but Thane Baker, Kansas State's sensational sophomore sprinter feels he gets some of his speed from a product of Mother Nature's refinery. An important part of the shy sophomore's training equipment is a clear glass jug of honey which he brings to the table at every meal.

Sugar in a small amount is known as a splendid source of quick energy, and the Wildcat sprinter is sold on honey's value to a track man. Maybe it is because the Elkhart newcomer set the cinders afire at Columbia last weekend at the Big Seven outdoor meet as he won the 100 and 220-yard dashes going away and anchored the mile relay team, which came within an ace of winning first. to collect 22 points for the meet's high point honor. Baker's :09.8 in the century was only of a off the one record of second. held by Rodney McClay, and his :21.3 performance in the 220 tied the varsity record held since 1922 by L.

E. (Red) Irwin. But possibly the most sensational, 'and perhaps overlooked. performance by the honey-propelled speedster was the :47.9 anchor leg he ran in the relay. The meet's winning mile, 440- yard dash time was :48.0.

Of course, Baker had a start, but he aiso had previously competed in the two shorter dash events. Coach Ward Haylet isn't one to discourage any of his boys' pet theories long as they don't hurt their performances, but he hints that Baker's honey theory may be mostly psychological. "It's all right with me if he eats it especially if he keeps on running like he has been," Haylett chuckled.
