end of a mighty long summer in
deed. For three nights now, San

inch of ground, and there are stil
only two teams within spitting dist
ance of the pennant.

Over ihe Wall
Or Nothing at
All: Vollmer
By The Associated Press
With Clyde Vollmer, blaziao
Boston Red Sox clutch hitter, it
seems to be home runs or nothing.
Vollmer, a powerful six-footer, hit
thj-ee homers yesterday against Chi
cago in a 13-10 win that boosted
his club within two percentage
points of first place.
Since Big Cyde started to find
the range about three weeks ago.
lie has hit 11 home runs in 18 gam
es. Over that same period he
has had a total of 22 hits. So, exact
ly half of his hits in that period
have been over the wall.
Vollmer managed to sprinkle nine
singles and two doubles among his
homers in this sensation spurt of
timely hitting. Only a journeyman
outfielder who was obtained from
Washington last year in a deal far
Tom O’Brien and Merrill Combs,
Vollmer may be the difference be
tween also ran and pennant for
| the Red Sox.
Because Cleveland finally won a
game at Yankee Stadium, clipping
the League-leading New York Yank
ees, 9-4, Vollmer’s latest outburst
was an important factor in the
pennant race.
Crucial One
His third of the day came with
.wo on in the sixth and the score
tied 10-10. Earlier he hit one with
one in the first and with no
body on in the fifth for a total of
six runs batted in. He now has
17 homers for the season—tops for
him in the majors.
While the American League
tightened, the National opened up
even more with Brooklyn moving
9!4 games in front of idle second
place New York on a 9-1 win over
Chicago.
The Phillies moved within a half
game of the third place Cardinals
by shutting out St. Louis for the
second straight night, 7-0.
Vollmer’s hitting was the big
news of the Thursday scores, how
ever, in the wild slugfest at Fen
way Park that produced a total
of 31 hits.
Long String
Ellis Kinder, long a Chicago jinx,
gained his 17th straight over the |
White Sox with a scoreless relief j
job over the last 3 and a third Inn
ings. He was the last cf four Boston j
pitchers.
Bobby Feller became the first
major leaguer to win 15 in Cleve
land’s success at Yankee Stadium
but he wasn’t around at the fin
ish. Feller gave way for a pinch hit
ter in the sixth while leading 5-4.
Allie Reynolds, a four-time win- 1
ner over the tribe which he turned j
back with no hits July 12, was
tagged with his sixth loss.
George Kell, Dick Kryhoski and
Pat Mullin lit into Washington
pitchers for three hits each in De
troit’s 6-3 win.
Mat Batt’s two-run homer in the 1
fifth helped the St. Louis Browns |
to a 6-4 edge over the Philadel
phia A’s in a night game.
New York and Pittsburgh were
idle but Boston wrapped Cincin
nati, 6-2, to take over fifth place.
