BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer, HE Boston Red Sox are giv+ ing the home town fans something to talk about in the waning days of the 1931 campaign. First, they pulled out of the American League cellar two days ago, and ‘then, yesterday, one of their number set up a brand- new record of two-baggers in a season. When Earl Webb, crack right-fielder, hit his sixty-fifth double off Jablonowski of Cleveland in the second half of a double-header, he the all-time mark of 64 set in 1926 by Georgg Burns, Cleveland first baseman. He had tied the former record in the first game. In his successful effort to pass Burns' mark, Webb has been a two-base spe- clalist in recent weeks, stretching every possiblé hit to the middle cushion and going past that bag for nothing less than a home run. He has made only 3 triples all season, but has 14 home w:i;mnmu'fimum day helped 's e the Sox beat Cleveland, 9 to 2, in the opener, but his record-breaker could not avert a 2-to-1 defeat in the nightcap. Johnny Hodnpg:lm in_the nintl with the bases ve the Indians the winning run off Gaston. Jablo- nowski kept seven Boston hits widely scattered. ‘The Yanks climbed into a tie for second place with Wa: by bea ing St. Louis twice while dropping its opener to Detroit. Charlie nfi‘fi:‘ and Bill Dick ey co- starred to give the Yanks a 17-to-0 victory in their first game, Ruffing allowing nine well spaced hits and Dickey leading the offense with a pair of home runs that drove in seven. Ver- non Gomesz, rookie lefthander, yielded only three hits in the nightcap and this time Babe Ruth parked a pair, his forty-first and forty-second of the year, to give the Yankees a 6-to-1 victory. Chicago and Brooklyn locked horns in the day’s feature bout in the National Leagué. The Cubs finall across the winning run in the ninth after the Robins had scored | twice to tie it in their half. The score was 4 t0.3 and gave the Hornsbymen their eighth straight victory. Danny Taylor's_single drove in the deciding run off Thurston. The veteran Tom Zachary allowed only five hits as the Boston Braves downed Pittsburgh, 1 to 0, in the first game of a twin bill, but the Pirates came back to take the second, 4 to 2, behind Glenn Spencer. Bill Harris, Pirate recruit, ;was handed his first de- feat in three starts in the opener. He has allowed only two runs in 27 innings. No less a star than Paul Derringer was knocked from the hill as the New York Gilants inaugurated their final series at St. Louis with a 7-to-2 victory.
