In defeating the Chicago White M Sox, 7-5, yesterday to stretch their winning streak to 14 straight gam i the Red Hose joined 10 other junior circuit clubs which have won 14 or more consecutive games since the locp was organized in 1901. Seven of these went on to capture the flag. The Rcd Sox need only a victory cver the Yankees in their series op- {® ener at New York today to record i the longeste winning streak in the 1 American League since the A's | swopt through 17 consecutive wins in 1931. F Phencminal Hitting Phenominal hitting has been the chief reason for Boston's greatest winning streak in the history of the B! club. In yesterday's win, for in- stance, pitchers Jim Bagby and Mace Brown wers belted for 15 hits yet came out on top with the kelp of some lusty slugging by Bob- , Ted Williams and Johnny A fourth-inning two-run homer by Dcorr— League's leader in 1| runs batted in—proved the ultimate margin of victory yesterday.
