That goes back to the playoff game, too." What else could the boss say? The handsome southpaw, con- querer of the Boston Red Sox in the penhant playoif game, had just sauntered. in from the bull pen to save the series finale. A mere ball game can't bother a 28-year-old war vet who spent two years in hospitals after the Japs torpoeded the U. S. S. Hel- ena. He sull carries aluminum plates in his head and left knee. Double Play Combine The Tribe double play combi- nation of Joe Gordon and Boudreau is the best in the game. Time af- ter time that pair around second base choked off Boston uprisings. The Braves played poorly afield but in the final analysis, it was the failure of the Boston hitters in the first four games that gave the championship to the Indians. Larry Doby, fleet Negro outiield- er, lead the new champs at bat with a 318 average. He had to yield series honors to the Braves' arl T son with his .389 mark. The only other regulars to make | the 300 class were Bob Elliott of the Braves, .333, and Eddie Rob- insen of the Indians, .300.
