Bob Feller | Loses Tough ' Hurling Duel Ruffing Wins for Yankees by Shutout-Dodgers, | Beesinlong Game | (By Associated Press) Bob Feller, who is standing on the doorstep of Baseball's Hall of Fame, with an entry bid, will soon learn that baseball is like auto driving, it requires control as well as speed. sterday afternoon, Feller en- gaged in an eleven-inning season’s hitting pitching duel, and lost fin-| ally to Lefty Ed Smith and the Chicago White Sox. Feller gave only one hit in nine innings but was kept in hot water with five passes, one error, and two wild pitches, Finally, in the eleventh inning, he walked Smith. Hayes doubled, Kreevich singled and Smith came home with the run that made the score 1 to 0 in favor of Chicago. In contrast to Feller, is Smith’s methodical efforts. Smith gave only seven hits and allowed only two walks. This difference explains why Fel- ler's record is only 17 wins and four losses this season, though he has pitched two one-hitters and has to his credit 181 strikeouts, | Pitches Shutout Red Ruffing recorded a shutout yesterday for the Yankees, allowing the Athletics five hits.

The crafty O'Connor only waited until Dufresne sent word that of course he wouldn't deprive a tired captain of his bunk. O’Connor then sighed happily and went to bed in the bunk.
