SPORTS SOX BEAT NATS IN DOUBLE BILL Boston Snaps Two-Game Los ing: Streak With 6-5 And 5-4 Decisions BOSTON, June 30.—VP)—Boston’s Bed Sox snapped out of a two-game flump today to sweep both ends of a doubleheader by one-run margins, defeating the Washington Senators 6-5 and 5-4 to gain an even split in the four-game series. Venerable Lefty Grove chalked up his fourth triumph of the season in the opener, although he gave way to Fireman Joe Heving in the ninth, when the Senators whittled two runs away from Grove’s three-run margin. Heving struck out Jake Early to end the battle. Charlie Wagner got credit for the second triumph, relieving starter Herb Hash in the sixth and giving way to a pinch-hitter, when the Sox collected three runs in the eighth to salt the game away. Washington outhit the Hose in each game, but the Boston belters made their blows count. They col lected only six hits in the opener but all these came off Willis Hudlin in the second and third innings, when all the Sox runs were scored. The barrage included home runs by Joe Cronin and Bobby Doerr, a triple by Jim Tabor, and doubles by Lou Finney and Jimmy Foxx. It was the same story in the sec ond game, when the Sox gathered a total of seven hits. Three of these came in the three-run eighth and included doubles by Lou Finney and rr^.i WiHiams.

LOUIS, June 30.—(JP)—Vernon Kennedy, St. Louis Browns’ pitch er, walked into the Detroit club house before today’s double header and socked Catcher George Tebbetts in the left eye. Kennedy, formerly a teammate of Tebbetts at Detroit, reportedly was incensed over personal remarks made to him by the Tiger catcher during yesterday’s games. Detroit players separated the pair and Kennedy left the room. Later as Tebbetts passed the Browns’ bench headed for the Tigers’ dugout, he remarked to Kennedy: “What do you say we go outside where we can get something done?” Kennedy jumped up and both went to the Browns’ clnbhottse, had removed their spiked shoes and were ready for action when players of both teams rushed in and held them ana rt. Manager Del Baker of Detroit said he would not ask that Kennedy be penalized for his action. Tebbets, whose eye was slightly cut, and swollen, said: “Nothing can be done against him for coming into our clubhouse for I was in theirs, too.” Kennedy, who sat in the Browns’ bullpen most of the first game, said the matter was “a closed incident.” LIKES FIRST GRADERS; THEY SHOW RESULTS CLARKSBURG, W.

LOUIS, JunlNo.—W’)—Today’s double baseball bill at Sportsman’s park provided fans with a thriller and a slaughter, the St. Louis Browns winning the first 7 to 6 in the eleventh inning and Detroit the second 10 to 1 in seven. The second game was called to permit Detroit to catch a train. One of Detroit’s 16 hits in the nightcap was Hank Greenberg’s 15th home run of the season. John Gor sica pitched 5-hit ball and the Browns chipped in with five errors. George McQuinn’s single in the eleventh drove in Roy Cullenbine with the winning run after the Browns at the end of six innings trailed 6 to 1 and were having dif ficulty hitting the left handed pitch ing of Harold Newhouser. But Cul lenbine’s seventh inning homer with the bases full really provided the punch the Browns needed, pulling them within a run of the Tigers. They tied the score in the eighth and went on to win.

J. Mrs. George Faley, 35-year-old mother of five, went back to school, she explained, because there were a lot of things about education she didn’t like. “But before I could intelligently criticize them,” she said, as she received a degree from Newark Teachers College, "I thought it would be a good idea to find out what exists now in the educational field.” Now Mrs. Faley plans to work for a master’s degree and a doc torate. Phillies Divide Double Program With New York PHILADELPHIA, June 30.—W— A home run barrage felled the New York Giants 7 to 4 in the first game of their doubleheader with the Phil lies today, but the home team threw away a three-run lead in the eighth inning of the second and lost 7 to 3. Johnny Rizzo, centerfielder new ly acquired from Cincinnati, and Hienie Mueller accounted for all the Phils’ runs in the opener. Rizzo’s two homers, his ninth and tenth of the season, scored three runs. The bases were full when Mueller con nected for his initial circuit clout of 1940. In the second game, the Phillies were riding along nicely on a three run advantage provided chiefly by Bobby Bragan’s fourth inning home run. Then Syl Johnson, replacing Clyde Smoll on the mound in the eighth let loose a wild pitch and two New Yorkers crossed the plate. The Giants had tied the score, mean while, with five hits and a couple of free passes.

BEES, BROOKLYN DIVIDE PROGRAM Fitzsimmons Scores Seventh Win With 9-2 Verdict; Bos ton Takes Nightcap, 7-2 EBBETS FIELD, BROOKLYN, >>une 30.—VP)—The Boston Bees scored their only victory of the se ries today and thereby snapped a Brooklyn winning streak by pound ing out a 7 to 2 decision behind the steady pitching of Manuel Salvo, after Brooklyn won the first game 9 to 2. Boston took charge of Luke Ham lin early in the second frame, driv ing him out of the box with a third inning five-run rally featuring a homer by Sebastian Sisti with two on. Thirty-nine-year-old Fred Fitzsim mons held the Bees to eight singles in scoring his seventh victory of the season and the 199th of his big league career in the first game. Three of the hits came in succession in the third inning in the wake of a base on balls for Boston’s only runs. The Dodger hitting against Lefty Sullivan and Alva Javery was hard and timely and Brooklyn was never headed after a three-run rally in the opening inning.
