Shirtly after hearing that Outfielder Cliff Mapes had been fined $200 and Manager Casy Stengel . - ; and Ralph Houk, $150 each, for arguments with Umpire Bill Grieve in yesterday's game with Boston, the Yanks ripped into Dick Fowler for three big runs in the third inning. ' After that outburst they were colled off by little Bobby Shantz, Mr. Mack's pint-sized lefty, 'who allowed only, one hit in a superb relief job over 5 innings. Raschi, the Yanks' first 20-game winner since Spud Chandler in 1946, allowed only-, four hits in a workmanlike job. It was his third hVictory ver Ms AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L. PCT..

Ted Williams Best In American Loop Scribe Martin Gl e'ments Still Out As Gridders Practice Against Georgia's T All nt which eoes to Drove that the University of North Caro lina has entered big time athletics and is in to stay. It seems doubtful that such a record as has bene compiled m tne past three years is going to stop with the graduation of the present crop of talented athlete. Even now a new crop of names are begining to appear in the headlines. Junior Irv Holdash, a truly potential All-American, is finally being given credit due him. Last year he was perhaps the most effective line backer in th Conference, but his name was comparatively unheard of outside of local sporting circles. The sophomores, in this, the so-called "return of the sophomore" year showed Saturday that they are ready to step into the big time and maintain the position held by the teams of the previous two years. Names like Goo Goo Gantt, Skeet Hesmer, Julian King, Joe Dudeck, Bill Kuhn, and many others are beginning to find their way around the sporting world. And the new names coming in are comparative youngsters as opposed to the old line veterans of former years. They are bringing back with them the "old college try", which was often lacking during the veteran eYa and had been almost completely missing since before war. Rather than dismissing the case as "The, end of the golden era evidence suggests the beginning of a new era; a new and more normal era in which young high school graduates are taking over where the men whose lives were interrupted by the war left off. Its a return to normalcy, with the University of North Carolina taking its place among the big name institutions the world of competitive amateur sports. try at the American's 20 club and he finally made it to join Boston's Ellis Kinder and Mel Parnell and Cleveland's Bobby Lemmon. Only in the sixth inning was he in serious trouble. And that was nis own faun, lwo ol his six walks and Elmer Valo's single loaded the bases with one out. Even then he might have escaped with a ' shutout, but for Jerry Coleman's wide throw that pulled Tommy Heinrich off the bag, spoiling a potential double play. As it was Eddie Joost, who walked to open the inning, scored on the try for the double. The Yanks cashed in on Dick Fowler's sudden wild streak in the third. Phil Rizzuto pumped a single to center; Then Fowler a 14-game winner, walked Jim Desling and Bobby Brown to fill the bases. He couldn't find the plate and also passed Henrich, forcing in a run. Yogi Berra's two run single to center brought Shant ambling to the scene. That was all, brother. Dodson Twirls Bosox Toward Pennant Goal WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-W-The win-'em-all Boston Red Sox racked up their 11th straight vic tory at the expense of the hapless Washington Senators tonight, 6-4, and regained their full game lead over the New York Yankees in the Amrican League race after a lapse of some six hours. The Red Sox lost little time getting on with the happy chore. By the end of the third inning, they had accumulated a 2-0 lead at the expense of Paul Calvert, who was out to lose his 14th game in a row, and after six chapters they njoyed a comfortable 6-0 padding. Thereafter they experienced several bad moments. Right hander Joe Dobson, who had '.limited the Solons to a lone single through the infield in the first six, suddenly lost his stuff and was laced for five more hit and three runs before Marse Joe McCarthy derricked him with two on and none out in the eighth.

Opposite Bu Station-Phone F-39B6 By Whitney Martin NEW YORK, Sept . 27-(P)- Somebody suggested that the most valuable player in the Amer ican League is Reynolds , and Page, probably figuring that ".as ar as baseball performance' is concerned the Yankee ' starting pitcher and his omnipresent re-. lief man are the same guy. 'U '': We wouldn't know about that, but with due respect to Tommy Henrich, Phil Rizzuto, Mel Par nell and anyone else you might name, we don't know how the honor can be taken away from Ted Williams. Here's a man who has "played in every game for the Red Sox, and as far as we know hasn't missed an inning. As of yesterday lae led the League in batting (.349) ; home runs (43) ; two-base hits (39); runs (147); runs batted in (158); bases on balls (approx imately 155); was second in hits, arid he is a first-class outfielder. What does a guy have to do to be rated most valuable, anyway? Williams won that designation only once, in 1946, and this year his record shows he is better in all departments than he was three years ago. The fact the Red Sox won the pennant that year pro bably influenced the voting, as the tendency always is to select a player from a championship club. That's a wrong slant, of course, as a player on a second division club could be more valuable to his team than any one man on the pennant winner. If the Red Sox were in fifth place today we'd still say that, on his record, Williams is the best, period. Henrich .will get much support in this year's voting, with a big point made o his capable play while suffering from-assorted inT juries, the fact that he took over as bell cow for the Yankees when Joe Dimaggio was unavailable, and he won many games with timely blows. s Georgia Star Hurt j In Scrimmage Drill ATHENS, Ga., Sept. 27(;P)- Georgia's Bulldogs got a jolt in their preparations for North Carolina today when Halfback ace Breezy Reid hurt his left a scrimmage. ankle or leg on the third play of Some slight mystery surround ed the extent of his injuries. Breezy returned to the field after an examination but the team doc tor and trainer would make no statement about his condition. They said they would not know until another examination is made after a night's rest. The rest of the workout went on without incident. Sophomore back Jack McHugh continued to run high, wide and handsome Nick Feher was a behemoth at in action after being banged up tackle. Ed Greenway was back i nthe Furman game. With "Johnny Clements among the recently-injured sitting things out, Coach Carl Snavely's var sity gridders went thriugh an afternoon of practice yesterday devoted to- sharpening - their of fense and defending against the T-formatino plays of next week's opponent, Georgia. Clements, who twisted the lower half of his right leg against State last Saturday, looked on at the drills, but said he expected to be ready to start work on Friday and to participate in. the next day"s game. Another wingback, Merl Norcross, also stayed out of the heavy work. T . 'I Georgia pass patterns came in for an early hour's work yester day as fullbacks Dick Wiess arid Billy Hayes took turns in the quarterback - slot ' attempting to throw passes through the Caro- iha secondary of Charlie Justice at safety, Skeeter Hesmer and Dick Bunting, who was hampered somewhat by a sore toe, at half back. Irv Holdash, Dick McDonald and Tommy Stevens did the line-backing. After pass defense work was completed, Justice moved into the offensive backfield at tailback to join Hayes and Wiess, alter nating at fullback, Goo-Goo Gantt t wingback, and Joe Kosinski and Eddie Knox,, who split signal call ing duty. Holdash also worked on offense from the pivot post. The defensive squad worked at stifling the Georgia attack of a squad that included track star Bill Albans at right halfback and which was sparked by freshman backs Bill Ellington and Frank Wisman. Dalton Ruffin appeared on the field in full equipment yesterday, but it is doubtful if the sophomore blockingback is well enough from his injury to count heavily in Saturday's plans. Paul Rizzo, an other of the signal-callers, is still out with a bad shoulder.

Bucs Rally fo Top Cards As Dodgers Gain in Nat. PITTSBURGH, Sept. 27-(iP)-1 Rookie Outfielder Tom Saffell's home run with the bases loaded off Red Munger climaxed a five run second inning and gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals to night. hTe loss cut the Cards first place margin over the idle Brooklyn Dodgers to one full game. The Cards fought back valiantly, closing the gap to 6-4 with a three run uprising against Willie Lom bardi, who once toiled for the Dodgers. All five runs for . the Bucs in the hectic second inning were un earned. The defeat was St. Louis' sixth here and gave the Pirates the season's - edge 11-10. The two teams ; meet here again in the final tomorrow afternoon-. Wally Westlake led off the frame with a single and should have been erased on Pete Castig lione's bouncer to Tommy Glaviano, but - Red Schoendienst dropped the third sacker's throw in a double play attempt and all hands were safe. Westlake was cut down at the plate on Monty Basgall's grounder, but Munger walked Clyde McCullough and Stan Rojek to force in a run. affell then slammed a 2-1 pitch into the left field stands to clean the bases.
