League (BY JACK HAND) 5 ! (AP SPORTS_ WRITER) | Leon Culberson, a spare hand who never quite made the varsity, is Boston’s fair haired boy today tecause of his 14th inning home run with the bases loaded that stretched the Red Sox win streak to 12 straight. t Although Culberson has been with the Sox for three years and played in 97 games last season, Manager Joe ‘Cronin has used him primar-' ily for defense and switched to lustier swatters when he needed runs. | Yesterday he started the after-| noon on'the bench, coming in to bat for third baseman Eddie Pel- lagrini in the third frame. didn’t hit as a pinch hitter, but remained in the game at the hot corner. | Homer in 14th | As the Red Sox rallied and final- | ly tied the score at six runs each Culberson still was hitless.

AP SPORTS DUP BY HUGH FULLERTON (BY THE ASSOCIATED FRESS) CINCINNAT1, May 8.—Ever no- tice how often the Reds come up ;with a good double play combina- tion? . . . They're leading the Na- tional League in that department !again this year and that’s one rea- son why Redleg fans aren’t too dis- appointed about their spot in the standings—that and the fact that Cincinnati’s sixth place is nearer the top than the Yank’s second in| the American League . . . Ever since 'Horace Ford and Hughie Critz set |the league record at 194 DP's in 11928, Cincinnati has had good men at short and second most of the time. The Durocher-Cuccinello combination tied that record and then came Myers-Kampouris, My- 'ers-Frey and now its Eddie Miller and Lonnie Frey—"And we've miss- ed more double plays than we've made,” Boss Warren Giles moaned after that pair ‘completed three yesterday .. . “Sure,” Manager Bill McKechnie agreed, “ but you have to expect such things when you're; rebuilding a team.” —_———-——— Penguins can progress either by twalkmg upright or flat on their at eight. stomachs, kicking with their legs, last the e team, so clip this out and|place but like second-ranking Los| e it where it will be handy for Legion.
