SOX HAVE LUCK THEN LOSE ONE Club Now Faces Hard Part of Western Journey By MELVILLE E. WEBB JR ST LOUIS, Mo, June 7 There is a law of averages in baseball. The Red Sox, when they took yesterday's first game from the St Louis Brownsies, made it six straight against the itinerants that Rogers Hornsby is receiving $20,000 a year for managing. One can't win all the time. On Saturday it was a dinky Texas Leajuer by Mose Grove that led the Sox to victory and yesterday Boston would have had a difficult time taking the opener at Sportsman's Pari had it not been for a DAILY BOOST To the Red Sox and the Bees for winning the first half of their Sunday double-headers.

IF you've been wondering whatever became of all the Irishmen who used to dominate the American sporting scene a generation ago you could have found the answer yesterday at Fenway Park, where the touring County Mayo champs played an exhibition game of Gaelic football against a bunch of local all-stars. I've looked upon some great athletes and some great teams in my day, but I've yet to see a finer body of men than the 15 who wore the Green and Red of Mayo yesterday. Most of them were giantstall, broad-shouldered, barrel-chested and thick-limbed, but their physical qualifications didn't stop there. They were also fast, amazingly so for such large men, rugged and apparently tireless. Skillful, too, they were, nimble with their hands and feet in a game which requires not only power and speed but also deftness.

These lads happened to be crack Gaelic football players, but from the looks of them they'd be good at anything. All through the game I kept thinking what an American football squad the Mayo boys would make. I'd be willing to bet that if Dick Harlow, Gil Dobie or some other top-line American coach could tutor these boys for a couple of months they'd be an All-America outfit son, lankees, 4 u.

The Cubs' pilot is not only the leader of the Chicago National League baseball club but he it also the baton swinger for a musical a quartet as ever played in the big leagues. In between strumming his banjo and directing the musical Cubs in rehearsal for a battle of music with Pepper Martin's Mudcats, the very cheerful Charley voiced his sentiments regarding the 1937 race for the National League pennant. "A lot of folks are saying," said Charley, "that the Cubs are the team to beat for the 1937 National League pennant.

But you can chalk it down for me that as far as the Cubs are concerned there are seven teams for the Cubs to beat to win the title." foozling loft by Johnny Marcum. John surely was covered all over with horseshoes when he gathered in victory No. 6. The P. Sox now have won eight of their last 12 ball games in quality from end to end and from center to fullback.

They have recently dropped one each to Senators, Yankees, White Three Irishmen Stand Out Sox and Browns and. then yes terday to the Browns. More Offense in Defeat Yet in yesterday's defeat, there was more real offense than in several games that have recently been won by the Red Sox. It took the most surehanded following of long hits and fine ground covering on the part of the Browns to win the twilight game and prevent the Cronins from making it seven games in a row. The box score does not Bees Big Help to Cubs As the Boston Bees happened tn be one of the seven teams mentioned by Grimm as among those to beat, cheerful Charley was what he thought of the 1937 crop of stingers under Bill McKcchniei management.

"The Bees have shown thus far." replied the Chicago ringmaster, "that they have as good a crew cf pitchers as there is in the ancient circuit. If they had another hitter or two they would have to be regarded as pennant possibilities. tell the story. I 5 I I 1-1 i A i I frfa- -v fl Pfri-sfr I 'fit i i 5 I -1 I I 4 i wiiMyy- I A' After beating the Hornsbymen 6-5 to make it an even half dozen wins against them, Joe Cronin's club ran into one of those games that was bound to come. Nothing went exactly right after the single and the pair of doubles that spelled two runs right at the go.

Ihese were all the runs Boston got. It was one of those matters of "Fate" that Rube Walberg should issue four passes early in the game, and two of the ticket receivers should score, and that in the Browns big inning, an additional ticket should force across what eventually proved to be the winning run. This happened right off the bat, Later, the Sox hit belt after belt against young Julio Bonnelli, whom they twice had beaten this year. Again and again the Brownies fielders backed against the walls to pull down drives that failed to make ievenneiess. iney are as a team to beat as there is.

"So far this season we have been ery fortunate in our games with the Bees. Ve've beaten them more than they have whippped us but it wouldn't have taken a great deal to have the situation in reverse. We really are grateful to the men cf McKechnie for they have to keep us in the flag fight by beating the Pirates. Cards and Giants as frequently as they have. "When the season ends you may not find the Bees up in the first division but I'm willing to waser you anything up to a buck and a half that the Boston team will cause as many headaches to pennant contenders as any other team in the league.

They're a hustling outf.t and with nothing much at stake it isn't likely that they will be at tense and pressing as will a team in the rac. for first place. "It looks now as though the Giant will be plenty tough to knock off their National League throne. So far we've been fcrtunate enouch to beat them in four of the six games we've played with them but it was a tough job. They've been getting pretty good pitching and! with Mel Ott out of his slump they have been doing well for themselves in base hits and runs." the damaging distance by a hair.

In losing the second game Sunday the Sox hit harder than in many a ball game they have won this Spring. Today will see the windup here. Wesley Ferrell will pitch, but it is THREE players stood out. There was Purty Kelly, who played at both fullback and in the forward line yesterday. He'd be line-breaking back and interferer.

Shorter than most of them, Purty put on a show for the crowd yesterday by hanging on to the ball instead of kicking it, as did most of the visitors. In Gaelic football you can't carry the ball in both your hands for more than three steps, but Purty was raging through the local defense like a bowling ball scattering ninepins the while he flipped the ball from his right to his left hand, then drop-kicked it to himself or bounced it off his knees. Paddy Moclair was a holy terror, too, in the scrimmages around the enemy goal. A giant of a man, he scored two goals by sheer power, knocking the ball, the goaHceeper and half the defense into the net. The other stick-out was Gerald Courell, a homely redhead who looked like the niftiest guy on the visiting side.

He wasn't as tall as some of them, but he was well put together, had a fine pair of hands, and did everything but make the ball holler "Up Mayo." The game of Gaelic football itself strikes me as good enough to be worthy of attention in this country. Like soccer, and unlike oui own football, you can understand what's going on the first time you see a game. Like soccer, it has the advantage of providing almost continuous action, and it has the edge, I think, on soccer, in providing more bodily contact and more scoring. The game is played 15 men on a side. The ball can be kicked or thrown and the object is to get either a goal or a point.

The goals are a combination of our own uprights and a soccer goal. If you kick, throw or bat the ball under the crossbar and between the posts it counts three points. If you kick or throw the ball over the crosspiece between the uprights it counts as a point. Pride of Brighton Does Right Well THE local All Stars, of course, were outclassed physically and in every other way. The visitors simply toyed with the home forces and only two of our men stood out.

One of them was Ned Clancy, and he was the idol of the crowd, such as it was. Clancy is built along lines approximating a beer barrel, which is to say he was the shortest and also the broadest guy on the field. Well over 40 and slightly bald, the pride of Brighton had all the earmarks of once having been a star at the game. He was still good enough and nifty enough with his feet to score seven of the eight points which the home forces compiled. The other home hero was Bobby Thompson, the goal tender.

In contract to Tom Burke, the handsome castellian of the visitors, who spent a large part of the afternoon sitting on his haunches looking very lonesome, Bobby was the center of most of the heavy going all afternoon. In his off moments he's a soccer goal tender for the Brighton Shamrocks, and soccer technique was evident in his work between the posts. Danno O'Mahony and Steve Casey, the huge Irish wrestlers, were there as spectators, but they didn't seem particularly large or particularly tough in comparison to the visiting footballers. As I was saying above, the Mayos were about as fine a body of men as I've ever gazed upon, and if the Irish athletes of our early sporting history were anything like 'em, it's small wonder that the rosters of our early football, baseball and boxing heroes read like a Dublin city directory. It takes a gang like yesterday's visitors to give point to such Irish expressions as "a fine broth of a boy," "a fine body of men," or "a fine figure of a man." And I'll bet that half of them don't know their own strengthl DAILY KNOCK To the Red Sox and the Bees for losing the second half of their Sunday doubleheaders.

Elbie Fletcher (left), already recognized as the best fielding first-sacker in the majors and a pretty fair hitter, too, and Bill Stewart, half of whose house is in Milton, the other half in Dorchester, who besides calling 'em as he sees 'em in the majors is shortly to take over the management of the Chicago Black-hawks, the first American to be honored with the management of a major hockey league club.

This will mean a full day's rest for the Sox four-man staff, which has been doing yeoman work over the most recent stretch. Catcher Rick Ferrell will meet Guy Named Bush Hands Cub's the crowd in Indiantown tomorrow, but it remains to be seen whether he is ready to work. Gene De-sautels has been going along nicely, but Ferrell's return to the lineup in the games in Cleveland and then Detroit should help the morale. The next two series of course are the ones in which the most pressure will be brought down on the Red Sox. The players fully realize this.
