Joe McCarthy, who is recovering' from a nervous breakdown, returned today and was received with a sooth ing sedative in the form of another victory by one of the Yankees of better days, Red Ruff in g. Not that it was an easy afternoon for Joe, Ruff, or anyone else. The Indians were tou gh right to the finish, but finally bit the dust, Boston, Aug.

But Old Ruff, serene and cool, was always out there with a cold compress which he applied impartially to McCarthy's fevered brow and to the heads of the Indians when they thi-eatened to get hot and go off on a rampage. The more one sees of Ruffing, the greater the realization that part of this business of pitching baseball lies in headwork.

9. When he rejoined the Yanks today Joe Mc-' Carthy explained that he came back because he didn't want to let the team down, but he sidestepped queries as to his status for next season. "I'll finish this year okay," said Joe, "but 1946 will depend upon my health. Right now I feel pretty good after a couple of weeks of good food, rest and lots of sunshine." The manager did look very well, and there's no doubt that the rest and treatment since July 24, when he left New York to go to his farm near Buffalo, has done him a world of good. 'He explained that he is eating and sleeping satisfactorily again and no longer is down in the dumps.

"I want to repeat what I said before going home," Joe added "and that is that I have not had any trouble or interference from Larry MacPhail. We've gotten along fine. I submitted my resignation last month because I was. in no condition fo do the team any good. But I'm back now because I don't want it to be said that I was letting ths club down.

He also revealed that catch as fans howled lowed only seven hits and kept the Clevelanders off stride with his tricky assortment of fast and slow stuff with a curve mived in just often enough to make for the batters' confusion. The only one he had any serious trouble with was Lambert (Dutch) Meyer, the third baseman. This young man, who was in three-cornered pants when Ruff was winning the first of his 261 big-league victories, swatted four straight hits, including two doubles.

After each blow, Ruff would shake his head and mentally figure out some other way to pitch to him. By the time the kid came up in the ninth, with two out and the tying and winning runs on base, the old master had found the right pitch for him. Meyer's fly to left ended the game and sealed the third straight decision for Ruffing. INDIANS COUNTER ATTACK It was Jim Bagby, formerly a rebellious Redskin but now smoking the pipe of peace in the tribe's internal affairs, who lost the game. He went even with Ruff until the ninth, each allowing a pair of bracers in the third on Meyers' double, Rocco's single and a two-bagger off the right-field screen by Jeff Heath.

The Yanks retaliated in the fifth. After two were out, Metheny walked, Martin singled and both scored as Etten duplicated Heath's drive. These made 64 runs batted in for Etten.

He stumbled30 feet from the bag, crawled the rest of the way there and was lucky not to be put out. The only thing that saved him was that Mackiewicz missed the hit in center and had to dash back and retrieve it, Metheny's long fly then scored Savage with the big run. Cleveland made its counter attack in its half.

Hayes singled to left and his pinch-runner, Ken Wheeler, was sacrificed to second. Crosetti then booted pinch-hitter Paul O'Dea's roller for his third error and Ruffing was in a dandy hole. But he had been in 'em before and knew the way out. He fanned Steve Gromek, another pinch-hitter, on a whistling fast ball and then got Meyer for the first and last time.
