Six Sports THE BOSTON DAILY GLOBE MONDAY, JULY 15, 1946 How9 re They Going to Stop the Red Sox? Boudreau Tried Everything, but Nothing Seemed to Work Soutliworih Fortunate in Getting Ken O'Dea Will Share Catching Duties With Hard-Working Masi Bj JACK BARRY PITTSBURGH, July 15 No one vas more tickled over the acquisition of Ken O'Dea, better than ordinary left-handed hitting receiver, than rugged, hard-working Phil Masi, who recently received the greatest thrill of his highly active diamond career by being chosen for the National League All-Star team. It is not to be deduced from this Phil, "and I don't believe any lad By ROGER BIRTWELL Ted Williams and the Red Sox today are prancing long at the head of the big league parade and no one knows how to stop them. Eleven games in front of the Yankees! Twenty-four victories and only one defeat against Western teams at the Fenway! Thirty-six triumphs six losses against all opposition in renway ram; Lou Boudreau, as spirited a that the ex-Chicago butcher boy, laLJt I imagine I aped some of his move DiMag Still Has Faith in "Crystal Ball" By MELVILLE WEBB Weeks ago Dom DiMaggio gazed into his crystal ball and visualized a total of 105 victories and a consequential pennant for the Red Sox, Tho "Little Professor" still has faith in the oracle. For to reach that anticipated 103-vlctory goal the Sox need win only 46 of their remaining 72 games. Only once while winning their junior league pennants of 1903, 1004, 1912, 1915, 1916 and 1918 have the Sox set a 105-game winning pace, They did it back in 1912 when Jake Stahl piloted the club.

That was the Sox' first year at the now rehabilitated Fenway Park. In 1912 the Boston Americans won 103 games, losing 57, for a percentage of .691. Next highest was the Sox' .669 set by Bill Carrigan's team of 1915 disdains plenty of work. Just the opposite. The sturdily built backstop, who obtained hia start as Jimmy Tobin's knuckle ball receiver in the early Boston days of Casey Stengel, well realizes INDIANS ON WARPATH Between games of yesterday's doubleheader with the Red Sox, both ends 6f which they lost, Manager Lou Boudreau leads an assault wave against a heckler who is alleged to have called him a "puddle-jumping bullfrog." Boudreau (5) waa headed off by the man in the dark glasses, Lea Fleming, injured Indian first baseman.

The open-mouthed Injun is George Case Behind him you recognize muscular Pat Seerey. that to maintain his present pace It was In the second game that Boudreau became completely creative. "Formation Far was born in that game and it had the fans yelling "Hey, where are you going!" to Cleveland's fielders. Second baseman Jack Conway played in right field. He was near the foul line and in a direct line behind first baseman Jimmy Was.

dell about 40 feet behind. Shortstop Boudreau himself played midway between first and second. Third baseman Keltner was gosted on the right side of second age a couple of yard to the right of the bag end five feet in from the outfield gress. Left fielder George Case played a shallow left center about 20 or 25 feet from the infield dirt back of the normal shortstop position, lie was the only man en tha left side of the field. And center fielder Pat Seerey played most of the time a couple of yards In front of the fence-corner at the visiting team's bullpen in right center.

Pat had a little trouble memoriz- player-manager as ever has appeared on a Boston field, tried everything yesterday at the Fenway and that included defensive for mations never before ieen on a ta'l field. In tht first game, in an effort to stop Williams, the Cleveland managar used a formation with only two men on the left side of the field. Third baseman Ken Keltner was in the shortstop's spot, while left fielder George Case was In left center. But Boudreau neglected to put any fielders in the bull-pens, the runways and the stands and Williams belted threo homers. All were made with his team behind, and they clubbed the Sox to an 11-10 victory.

lVfense Not Altogether New This formation Boudreau's "Formation Right" hnd been used before, National League teams used to employ it against Cy Williams. At Braves Field, Cy onca got a double against it on a pop fly to a rest now and then is necessary. Masi is the type player who No Statement as 19 Braves must be on "your side to be fully appreciated."

Masi will never reach the point where he resembles class all over out there. He is the type player who digs in, revels in a dirty uniform, and enjoys naturally the grind characteristic of the catching profession.

The All-Star game offered Phil his first look at quite a few Amcri can League stars, among them Keller of the Yanks, whom Phil cer tainly respects as a hitter. Masi had both seen and piayed against the Kid before. In the All-Star game. Keller, com-ing to bat after a Williams" homer, said: "Gee, he's a wonder, that Williams, isn't To which Masi retorted: "You're not so bad yourself." Keller replied: I get one once in a while, but we guys have to work so hard for 'em, while he just laughs, and has a good time getting 'em." Boston fans may follow the pickup in Masi's all-around play, now that he has such competent catching aid to divide the telling backstop duties with him. BRAVES PICKUPS semesters.

Chicago Phil joined the Braves It was in 1927 that the Yankees WILLIAMS Continued from the First Pafle where he is most likely to place his vicious left-handed drives. The pitcher, of course, had to remain on the mound. The only other Indian who wasn't to the right of second base was left fielder George Case, who moved over to a spot just behind that usually occupied by the shortstop. The strategy achieved its aim that time.

Boudreau, the shortstop, shifted well to the right of the second baseman's regular beat, and gobbled up a Williams grounder. set the American League record of in 1939 and with the exception of teammate "Whitey" Wietelmann, reserve inflelder, and pitcher Bill uu games won and only 44 games By JACK BARRY jNatlonal League instead of being PITTSBURGH, July 15 Soma 19 forced to meet with individual members of the Boston Braves base teams, Murphy said, he could swing ball team met with Bob 'Murphy, an election in from two to three director of tho American Baseball weeks.

For he was so far from the rest of the players that couldn't have seen any signs with a telescope. Seerey, with his back almost against the fence at the 400-foot mark, was able to gab with teammates in the Cleveland bullpen. He was ideally set to go to either side, for flies, but Pat Eava away need- i paid teams in the National League.

At this meeting of the players a discussion was conducted for 50' minutes and then bull pen catcher Bob Keeley asked Murphy to return.

A while later all left the meeting room. The players said it was a season why Ted hasn't tried to take advantage of the various shifts employed against him by bunting the ball along the third base line or "pushing" it to left field. Ted, himself, remarked that he might have conference included ine following: Cooper, Johnson, Posedel, Barrett, Masi, Herman, Culler, Padgett, Lit-whiler, Holmes, Hopp, Keeley, Dark, McCormlck, Singleton, Lee, Rowell, Wright, Niggeling.

Murphy said that one main "item of interest was the player's cut in his purchase price, contemplated as part of the Guild's interest in the players.

Fear, ing that team magnates might get around giving the player part of the purchase price led Murphy to reveal that if selling stopped and trading alone continue, the Guild would evaluate the price of a player. Possibly, he said, the. players salary would be multiplied several times to determine his worth. A $7500 minimum salary Is another matter Murphy and the players are interested in.

Zanesville's diamond fans did last night in an Ohio State League tiff between their Dodgers and the Lima Terriers, a game the Terriers won, 14 to 5, incidentally. The ball-juggling occurred in the first half of the second inning. Lima's Wayne Reside and Van Hoff walked and Ray McLeod grounded to Zanesville's Red Hughes at first.

Hughes fumbled (error No. 1) and Reside romped home as the ball tricked through to the outfield. Rightflelder Lou Ott retrieved it but threw wild to third base (error No. 2) and Van Hoff scored. Leftfielder Bob Sloss grabbed up the sphere and whipped it back to Joe Stefano at third and he muffed it (error No, 3).
