Well it's a chilly afternoon here in Boston and in the friendly confines of Fenway Park
and believe me it's confining from the standpoint of the hitters because that left field wall looks like it's so easy to reach to
and a lot of them will be over swinging as they have in years past.
We'll give you the starting lineup in a moment but right now we'd like to salute Radio Station WCJU of Columbia, Mississippi.
WCJU one of the fine stations on the Chicago White Sox network line WCJU.
And now here's the starting lineup for Eddie Stanky's nine.
Eddie is down to the left at the present time with Dick Williams and the action will be getting underway momentarily.
Leading off and playing left field will be Walt Williams and we'll have the opportunity in time to give you the batting average of each player
as we give you the starting lineup.
Walt Williams leading off playing left field with a 2-42 batting average.
Batting second and playing second will be Don Buford with a 2-50 batting average.
In center field will be Tommy Agee. Tommy currently batting 2-36.
It will be Pistol Pete Ward, the cleanup batter, and playing third with a 2-45 batting average.
16 homers and 52 runs batted in which is tops on the club.
Batting in the number five spot and playing right field will be Rocky Colabito. He is currently batting 2-37.
Tommy McCraw will be batting in the number six spot and playing first base batting 2-27.
J.C. Martin will do the catching here this afternoon with a 2-58 batting average.
At shortstop, Ron Hanson batting 2-21.
And on the mound with a record of 14 wins and six losses will be Joe Harmon.
For the lifetime, he is seven and six against the Red Sox.
And now the starting lineup for Dick Williams nine will be Mike Andrews leading off
and playing second base with a 2-51 batting average.
It will be Jerry Adair batting second and playing third base. He is batting 2-67.
The number three man in the batting order will be left fielder Carl Yastremski batting 3-11 with 35 homers and 95 runs batted in.
Boy, is he doing some kind of playing as he always has.
The cleanup batter for the Boston Red Sox who lead the American League by a half game in front of Minnesota,
two in front of Detroit, two and a half in front of our White Sox.
It will be George Scott batting 3-02 with 17 homers, 68 runs batted in.
The number five man in the batting order, the center fielder Reggie Smith batting 2-61.
In right field, and a man that has taken the heart to the Bostonians, Kenny Harrelson with a 2-71 batting average.
And the Hawk had quite a night last night with a double, a triple, and a home run.
So he had a field day. Hawk last night drove in four runs, two with a triple, one with his homer and one with a double.
He has 11 homers and 46 runs batted in. He will be in right field.
The number seven man in the batting order, Rico Petraselli at shortstop batting 2-67.
And doing the catching, Elston Howard. And on the mound, Jim Lombard with 18 victories and six losses.
The umpiring crew has made their way out of the Red Sox dugout and out to home plate where Dick Williams and Eddie Stanky will exchange their lineup cards.
And we want to welcome aboard all the people of the Armed Forces.
This broadcast is being heard on the Armed Forces Network and welcome aboard men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States.
Wherever you're listening to our broadcast, this is Red Rush along with Bob Elston, hoping that you will enjoy our words-eye view of the ball game from Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.
The surprising, the scintillating, the darlings of the American League, that's what they're calling the Boston Red Sox.
It's an amazing story, but as Frank Lane said on the pregame show here this afternoon, that finally they are a cohesive unit.
Finally they have gelled the young talent that has been brought along. And believe me, Tom Yockey deserves a lot of credit because he spent a lot of money here in Boston trying to bring the fans of this fair city a good ball club.
And now they have a great ball club and a fine manager, Dick Williams, that has brought them along through their system, knowing the players and bringing them to the fruition of their labors.
And believe me, this has been an outstanding job and the press here in Boston has had to turn around because they have been known by many as being rippers, and that's putting it mildly.
And this year they have had, after the first part of the season, because they continued during the first part, to turn around and say, well, where are we going to go?
Instead of negative reporting by any stretch of the imagination, they have gone on a more constructive basis and have started giving the credit to the Boston players and the skipper, Dick Williams.
Eddie Stanky conversing with Ed Rungy, the third base umpire, as the Red Sox take the diamond.
And now let's set the defense for you. For the Boston Red Sox at first base, George Scott at second, Mike Andrews.
The shortstop Rico Petrocelli at third, Jerry Adair.
In left field, Carl Yastremski, center field, Reggie Smith, right field, Kenny Harrelson. And now, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.
The Boston Red Sox.
And now doing the catching, Elston Howard is the big right-hander Jim Lomborg, who stands 6'5 and weighs 200 pounds, is out on the mound.
Lomborg, a freewheeling right-hander, a good-looking pitcher. As a matter of fact, many say the outstanding pitcher in the American League today.
Lomborg, 6'5, 200 pounder, born in Santa Maria, California, 24 years ago, makes his home now in San Luis Obispo.
It'll be Walter Williams, Don Buford, and fleet-footed Tommy Agee in that order to lead off for the Chicago White Sox.
Kirby Farrell goes down to the first base coach's box, and Grover Riesinger makes his way out of the dugout to the third base coach's box.
Mill Howler will call the balls and strikes, Jim Odom at first, Hank Thor of the umpire at second, and Ed Runge will make the decisions down at third.
And now, ready for the action, as ready to step in is Walt Williams.
And here with a play-by-play story for the Armed Forces Radio Network, and also for the Chicago White Sox Network, the commander, Bob Elson.
Thank you, Red. We have another perfect setting here for a great game and an important ball game.
Lomborg has pitched 12 complete games. Hornan has pitched 8 complete games.
The Sox want this game badly here today, and they need it.
So here we go, and we're happy indeed that the broadcast that Red and I are going to call, the plays here in Boston today,
will be heard by the men and women of our Armed Forces all the way around the world.
So at Boston, it is a chilly day. It's a windy day, and the wind could have an effect here on certain types of balls.
Here is a called strike, and with that pitch, there was a terrific blow around home plate that blew the dust and dirt all over the place.
Walter Williams in the batter's box. Lomborg is set again. Strike called. Change up curveball.
Lomborg has won 18 and lost 6. Lifetime against the Sox, he's 4 and 4.
And a swing and a miss, and he threw the bat away. Some people say the superstitious, and I am not superstitious,
that that indicates that the pitcher is going to lose the ball game.
This time, let's hope the superstitious people are right.
So that is the first out. Strike out.
Well, these are two great teams. Tom Yawkey, the fine owner of the Boston Red Sox, was visiting in the press room with a lot of the announcers and writers.
He has seen some lean days here in Boston. That is, as far as this ball club is concerned, and always took it in stride.
The pitch is a very high fastball, and Buford fell away from the plate. He comes in batting 250.
Lomborg has 195 strikeouts going in, and he picked up one here today. He has pitched 12 complete games.
Horland has pitched 8 complete games.
Ball one for Buford, a switch hitter batting left-handed. And a ball that's low and inside, and it is ball two.
Smith in center field, Harrelson in right field, Jastremski in left field, Scott at first, Andrews at second, Petroseli at short, Adair at third.
Here is a foul going back to the right and over the roof.
The park is jammed, except for a few rows up in the top of the bleacher in right field.
Well, how about that giant Cincinnati game last night?
Cincinnati pitcher walked in the winning run. Here is a strike.
20-inning ball game.
And it's a ball two and a strike two count, and now the umpire wants to look at the ball.
He's putting in a new one.
Lomborg was our guest on the Leadoff Man show before the first game of this series.
Our guest today was Frank Lane. We were happy to give him a wonderful Zenith radio.
And remember, with Zenith radio, TV, and hi-fi, quantity goes in before the name Zenith goes on.
The pitch, swing, and a pop-up. Let's see if there's a play. Howard over and takes that ball near the sock dugout.
Every once in a while there's just a light spray of rain, but it doesn't mean a thing because the sky is bright and blue and beautiful, and the rain is of no concern here this afternoon.
As a former weatherman, you have my assurance of that.
Ladies and gentlemen, a cloudburst just came upon us.
Two out and nobody on as Tommy Agee steps in batting 236.
Tommy has been hitting very well. He's had six hits in the last three games.
Time is called while Elston Howard was fixing one of his shin guards.
Cubs are ahead of the Mets, one to nothing. Kansas City leading Baltimore 6-3 in their game.
Here is a spike gets right in across the knee.
This game today is being colorized by NBC Nationally.
And again the pitch to him, it's a ball that's low and inside.
Well, Tommy hit a long home run in the first game that tied the score.
A long high shot over the left field wall and screen.
Here's a bunt foul along the third base line and it's a ball one and a strike two count.
Sox will be home Wednesday night to play California. Friday night, Saturday, Sunday a double-hutter with Detroit.
Cleveland the early part of next week and a big weekend series with the Minnesota Twins who are a half a game out of the American League lead.
The Detroit Tigers are two out, the White Sox are two and a half out.
We've got to win this ball game here today.
A.G. takes off the inside corner, ball two, strike two.
Ball two and a strike two count.
He's set again and the pitch is low above ball three.
Lomborg is a very good, in fact he's an exceptionally good control pitcher.
A ball three and a strike two count.
Here's the big one, swing and a foul out of play.
We have run into a very odd weekend weather-wise in Boston.
For those of you listening in the different parts of the world, unusual to come into Boston at this time and find it cold and rainy and windy.
But that's the kind of weather we have had here and the American flag off here to my left is just about to go off the pole.
Here is a ball he walked in.
So Tommy A.G. is the first baserunner in the ball game.
And the sixth, 65th base on balls given up by Lomborg this year.
Here is Ward. He won the first game with a long home run.
Ward the batter.
And a peg over to first base. That was very close.
The on deck man is Rocky Colavito.
Peg over and he dives in, gets that right hand on the bag.
Jim Lomborg.
The pitch. Ward takes low. Howard throws the first. He's back.
Lomborg with 18 wins against 6 losses has an earned run average on the road of about 2.
But here in Boston of a 5.46. That's quite a difference.
A.G. has 25 stolen bases.
He throws the first again. It is not close.
The center fielder Smith and the right fielder Harrelson are deep.
The pitch to Ward. A ground ball. A hit to right field. A.G. is around second going to third.
And Harrelson throws the ball to Andrews who runs into the infield carrying the ball.
And now the Sox have runners on first and third. And here is an overdue Rocky Colavito.
So in this first inning we've had the first hit and we've had the first walk of this ballgame.
Now here is Rocky Colavito. Kansas City 6 and Baltimore 3. They've gone to the bottom of the fourth inning.
The Tigers are out in the first inning at Minnesota. Swing and a miss. One strike.
Cubs 1 and the New York Mets nothing at the end of three.
Well the Dodgers hung on last night to beat Atlanta 6 to 4.
Come on Rocky. The pitch. Swing and a miss. And it is strike two.
Colavito taking a kind of swing, a half-hearted swing as though he wasn't sure whether it was a ball or a strike and was going to try to check it.
Turned around again to complain to the umpire so he is very much in the hole here now with two strikes on it.
The pitch. Ball that's up high. And a ball one and a strike two count.
Runners first and third. Two out. First inning at Boston. Now a bright sun shining.
Runners at first and at third. Longborg is set again. Here is a pop fly into shallow center field. Coming on it's going to drop.
Run scores. Here's the center fielder overran the ball and Colavito goes all the way to second. There may be an error.
One run in. Now they score it as a double as the center fielder Reggie Smith coming on overran the ball that was behind him.
Let's get a station break in here now. We'll pause now. Ten seconds for station identification.
This is your station for the good Labor Day holiday weekend listening. WMAQ NBC in Chicago.
Well the White Sox on Colavito's pop fly to center field. Tommy Agee scored. Ward went to third. Colavito to second when Reggie Smith coming in overran the ball a foot or two.
Here's the pitch. Here is a drive but it's going to curve and go foul down the left field line.
Come on just a base hit. We'd have a three run lead here.
You give Horland a three run lead and you're in pretty good shape.
One run in this ballpark doesn't mean a thing.
Second and third.
Now the pitcher takes a little bit of extra time and the batter steps out.
Ward at third. Colavito at second.
Here's the pitch and a ground hit to right.
One run in. Here comes Colavito. No play at the plate. Sox lead three to nothing.
Ward scored. Colavito scored.
And the White Sox are leading three to nothing in the ballgame.
That is the 32nd and 33rd RBI for Tommy McCraw and here comes J.C. Martin.
Here is Martin stepping in.
And a line drive but right at the first baseman Scott. He hit that ball like it was out of a cannon but right at Scott.
That would have been a short double down the right field line but Scott was standing right in line in the track of the ball.
Well it was a good ending anyway.
Now we've got a little bit here so that Horland has a little working margin.
Three runs on one two three. Three hits. One walk. One left.
Middle of the first inning at Fenway in Boston. The White Sox three.
Boston now coming to bat. Say who says baseball is a man's game. You know gals just love it.
Who yells the loudest. Big Frank the construction foreman. No sirree. His little five foot wife.
Every once in a while a gal just has to cut loose. Escape that daily grind and get away from her housework or her job.
You know there's no better way to get away from it all than to head out to White Sox Park.
That's the one place where a gal doesn't have to stand on formality.
She can relax. Take off her shoes. Munch on a hot dog. Just be yourself.
And it's easy to get to White Sox Park. You get on the Dan Ryan. Stay in the local lanes and you get off at the 35th Street exit.
No don't worry about parking space either. There's room for over 8,000 cars.
If you don't want to drive well it's easy. Take the CTA. It drops you off right at the gate.
So come on out gals for the time of your life out to White Sox Park.
We'll be home on Wednesday starting a big 10 day home stand. See you at Sox Park.
Let me place the White Sox for you on the field.
Walter Williams playing left field. A.G. in center field and Colavito in right field.
Ward at third. Hanson at short. Buford at second. McCraw at first. Martin the catcher and Hall in the pitcher.
At Minnesota it's Minnesota nothing. Detroit nothing at the end of one.
Now the leadoff batter will be second baseman Andrews. He will be followed by third baseman Adair who will be followed by the left fielder Scott.
We want to salute another one of the fine stations on our vast network of stations.
WCJU in Columbia, Mississippi.
They have a lot of listeners. They have a fine well balanced programming there.
Lean a little bit to sports and great news coverage. WCJU in Columbia, Mississippi.
Well here is the leadoff man now Andrews and we have a three run lead and we can breathe easy here for a while.
So Joel Horan, good right hander, has won 14 and lost 6.
Two and one this year against the Boston Club.
And here is the first pitch. It's a strike gets right in across the knee.
A swing and a foul going off here to the right.
Number two in the back of his white uniform this is Andrews.
Regular second baseman had a fine year for this ball club. Last year was with Toronto.
And a liner foul down the field line.
That was a line drive and now Ward is coming over from third to talk with Joel Horan.
We have a day game here tomorrow at two o'clock, one o'clock Chicago time.
One o'clock Chicago time and the leadoff man show with Dominic DiMaggio, brother of the famed Joe DiMaggio.
He'll be on at 12.40. Here's a smash foul again down the third base line.
Dominic DiMaggio was a great ball player with the Boston Club for years while his brother achieved even greater fame with the New York Yankees.
And in my book the players and games that I have seen was the greatest individual ball player I think I ever saw.
Oh he was really something.
Two strike count on Andrews.
And a ball a little bit too low. They had a brother who played in the National League, Vince DiMaggio.
So we will find out all about the famed DiMaggio from Dominic DiMaggio on our leadoff man show tomorrow.
Here's a ball that's low and a ball two and a strike two count.
Segui is pitching for Kansas City in the fifth. Kansas City leads six to three but Baltimore evidently has something going again.
Maryland's ready and a high pop up and easy out. Here's McCraw coming down the line in foul territory and he has it for the up.
One gone.
Pitching up the third baseman, Adair, the Sox lead three to nothing in a big but big ball game at Boston.
Here is the pitch and it's a strike gets right in across the knee.
The batter is Adair.
He's set again and the pitch.
Swing and a chopper down the third Ward fumbles recovers throws. He's safe. An error for Ward.
That was a ball that all Pete had to do was pick it up. It was hit right at him.
He fumbled it. Picked it up fumbled it again and it was too late.
So that is a boot.
And it brings up the dangerous Carl Yastremski.
On a baseball outstanding ball player.
Perhaps the most valuable player in the American League.
Here's a fellow who could make any one of the 19 ball clubs in the major league.
There's a ball way up over his head. Ball one.
The infield has shifted around a little bit to the right with Hanson playing a shade toward the bag at second.
Agee is very deep and Colavito is very deep and right.
And Walter Williams is shoved over toward center field and a ball it's low. Come on. Don't walk it.
You've got to hit it. Let him hit it. But walks lose more ball games than hit.
Carl Yastremski.
They teammate on first base and a strike. He hit that outside corner across the knee.
The Detroit Tigers are out in the second inning in that game. It's McLean and Boswell.
At the end of four innings the Cubs maintain a one run lead over the New York Mets.
Here it's a ball two and a strike one count and the pitch low and slow. It's ball ball three.
Well I can remember some of the great powerhouse teams like the great Yankee teams when they had real power in that ball club.
You just couldn't afford to walk anybody. And in this ballpark not so much on the road but when you play Boston here you can't afford to walk anybody.
They can tap to that wall.
The pitch. He walked him two men on and one out.
Here is a very dangerous George Scott. The kind of hitter I was referring to.
Big husky right handed batter with a lot of pulling power to left field.
And that big light green wall out there presents quite an attractive target.
It's enough to make everybody switch from batting left handed to batting right handed.
So the Sox are in a little bit of trouble here now an error and a walk.
And Scott foul tipped the ball as he backed away the ball hit the bat handle. One strike.
We could surely use a double play right here.
The outfield is straight away.
Marlon this set again the pitch to Scott a swing on a change up curve and a miss strike two.
Got started to swing when that ball left the pitcher's hand and it just floated up there.
And it is a two strike count now on George Scott.
Runners at first and second and a high fastball in tight and at the ball one and a strike to count.
Well we're happy to have our regular engineer here in Boston Dan McCabe back with us today at the control.
Runners at first and second.
A one and two count on Scott the pitch swing and a ground ball to Hanson looks like a double play.
Steps on the back fires and we have that double play and we're out of the game.
So that is the first double play of the game for the Sox and number 115 and their third double play of the series.
Hanson unassisted to McCraw no run no hits a walk one error and one man left.
And so at the end the one at Fenway the White Sox three Boston nothing.
You know these days it seems that all teenagers want is a soft drink and a candy bar.
But it's encouraging to learn that according to a recent survey 31 percent of the boys and 28 percent of the gals in the 13 to 19 age bracket.
Wish the chicken were served more often.
It's good news because chicken packs nutrition funds.
White meat of chicken is higher in protein and lower in calories another leading means.
And according to the National Brewer Council chicken contains all the essential amino acids.
Here's a summer chicken idea that sure to make a hit with the teenagers have a chick neck.
A supply of cold fried chicken in that picnic hamper makes a feast of the outdoor meal.
Yes chicken it's delicious and it's delectable and it's so nourishing too.
This message from the National Brewer Council was sponsored by Van Tress Farms a subsidiary of Art Nell.
That's Van Tress Farms.
Our game at Boston is moving into the second inning.
The White Sox three and Boston nothing and Hanson the better.
Here's a flash Detroit nothing Minnesota nothing at the end of two at Bloomington.
He said again and the pitch is a ball up very high and very close and it is ball two for Hanson.
Hanson comes in at 221.
The Sox scored their three runs in the first inning after two were out and nobody on.
The pitch a ball in the dirt ball three.
Frank Lane on the leadoff man show made quite an interesting guest today.
Frank has never reticent about talking.
Here is a ball he walked the leadoff man. Come on let's get some more.
That's going to bring up Harlan.
Here is Harlan stepping into the batter's box with a teammate on first base nobody out in the second.
Tomorrow's pitchers will be Tommy John and Lee Stang.
Harlan Bunch down the first base line and he touched of a first baseman touched the ball but he's out at first anyway.
The ball the ball jumped right by Scott who touched the ball deflected it into foul territory.
But the second baseman was coming over picked the ball up and jumped back onto the bag and Harlan was out on an eyelash play.
It's a sacrifice and that odd play goes three to four.
The first baseman touched it in fair territory then it went foul off his glove but it was already established as a fair ball.
So here is Walter Williams now with a teammate at second base and one up.
Walter Bunch down the third base line he's got a good chance. He is at first base by a country mile.
Little Walter dumped one and he was at first base.
Well the third baseman didn't even bother throwing the ball.
So now we have Don Buford. Don has been meeting that ball well. He was down around 212 he's now pushing up toward 260.
Runners at first and third and a strike he hit the outside corner across the knee.
White Sox have three runs on four hits Boston no runs and no hits.
Jim Lombard big right hander a ball that's blowing away.
So Hanson went to third and Walter Williams dumped a perfect punt and didn't even draw a throw.
Now the White Sox have a chance to sweeten their lead.
Take over the first base Walter is back.
Time is called now the umpire wants to see the ball again.
So the plate umpire Solano takes a look at that ball.
Here comes the pitch now to Buford and it's way outside another ball two and one.
Ball two and a strike one count.
Chicago the Cubs won the Mets nothing at the end of four.
Detroit nothing Minnesota nothing at the end of two.
The pitch to Buford foul here on the wire right below us two and two.
The Tigers Detroit Tigers are out in the third inning Minnesota batting.
That's McLean and Boswell two right handers.
A ball two and a strike two count for Buford.
Here is a swing and a miss a big curveball coming in on him and he struck him.
At it number two.
It'll bring up Tommy A.G. who walked the first time.
Here is A.G. in the batter's box.
The wind again whips the dirt all around.
White Sox runners at first and third with two out in the second inning and the Sox lead Boston three to nothing.
Pitch to A.G. gets away from the catcher and Williams goes to second base.
It's a wild pitch.
Tommy now could pick up two RBI's if he could get a hit.
Runners at second and third.
Tommy A.G. in the batter's box.
Jim Lomborg going for number 19.
The pitch to Tommy A.G. is a ball sending the catcher Elston Howard to his knees to block that ball to keep it from getting away.
Hanson at third Williams at second. Two are out.
Cleveland and California will play a night game. California beat Cleveland last night.
Here's the pitch to Tommy and the ball hit the bat and it's a foul-tip strike.
And a ball two and a strike one count.
Here is Eddie Stanky coming out now.
Eddie Stanky is coming out to talk with Tommy A.G.
Tommy said that the ball hit him in the arm, the elbow. The umpire says it hit the bat.
And that's what the discussion is about.
In night baseball it'll be Philadelphia-Pittsburgh, Houston at St. Louis where the Cardinals got a great game last night from Bryles.
Baltimore just scored two in the fifth. Kansas City leads six to five.
Eddie Fisher has gone in to pitch for Baltimore in the fifth inning. Here we are still in the second inning with runners at second and at third.
Swing and a foul-tip. And a ball two and a strike two count.
Again the umpire wants to look at the ball and puts it in the wind.
Well in the Washington Yankee game last night an extra inning, Young Hegan, whose father was a great catcher for Cleveland, hit his first major league home run and had won the game two to one.
The pitch to Tommy almost hit him. Ball three.
It's a ball three and a strike two count.
He's set again and a swing and a miss struck him out on a high fastball.
So in the inning no runs, one hit, a walk and two men are left.
And now in the middle of the second inning at Fenway Park in Boston, the White Sox three runs, four hits. Boston no runs, no hits.
Our ball game at Boston is moving now into the bottom of the second inning and the leadoff batter for Boston will be their center fielder, Reggie Smith.
Here is the pitch and he hits a high fly ball. The left center is going to be caught. Williams is coming on a collide but he held on to the ball.
Williams and A.G. collided and A.G. is calling time now. He may have been spiked and his cap blew off.
And he has taken time out and he's the...
So we are going to have time out here now as Williams held on to the ball but may have spiked Tommy A.G. and we're going to have to wait and see.
Spiked on the foot as he took off his shoe. You could see the blood on the on the sock and Tommy A.G. is down there as Charlie Saad goes out to take a look at him.
And he stanky went out. The rest of the players also out there. Rocky Colavito, Walt Williams.
As Walter cut right across and took it in front of Tommy A.G. and stepped on Tommy's foot as Tommy tried to pull up in time to let Walt have the ball.
For those of you who don't have all of last night's scores, well, I thought we had them here but we don't. I know a lot of people listening in a lot of areas.
They don't get the final night games. Well the only one really that you probably didn't get was the California game and California won that ball game from Cleveland.
At Kansas City, Ramon Webster just did a home run with a man on and that is his eighth of the year.
So they're going ahead of Baltimore now around the score of around eight to five.
Last night, Minnesota beat Detroit five to four. The Yankees defeated Washington. The Dodgers beat Atlanta.
The Giants defeated Cincinnati in 20 innings when the winning run was walked in. And Pittsburgh shut out the Phillies.
Yesterday, the Cubs and the Mets split a doubleheader and last night, St. Louis behind Brials shut out the Houston Astros.
And this young Brials, the left-hander, has really come on for that St. Louis ball club.
The time is still out. The trainer is still working out there on Tommy Agee's foot.
Taking a new sock out there and put a bandage on his foot. Now they'll give him a chance to trot around a little bit and see how his leg feels.
Let me recap the first inning for any of you friends who are tuning in late.
Mr. Williams struck out. Buford fouled to the catcher. Agee walked. Ward single to right sending Agee to third.
Colavito dumped a double in centerfield scoring Agee. McCraw singles sharply to right field scoring Ward and Colavito.
And that's how they got their three runs. Had a nice chat a little while ago with a good friend of mine down in Miami.
Well-known sports figure down there. Writer, columnist, well-known fight trainer, Lou Gross.
Probably enjoy his column as I do many, many times in the fine newspaper, the Miami Star.
Lou's a great, great baseball fan and really rooting for the White Sox.
Well, they're coming off the field and Agee is still out there and that indicates that he is going to stay in the game.
Now he's getting up and he seems to be OK.
The batter will be Harrelson, the right fielder.
One out and nobody on in the bottom of the second. White Sox, three, four and one.
Boston, nothing, nothing, nothing. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Here is a well-tagged long drive deep left centerfield. It comes down and it is caught.
That wind held that ball up, I thought. Sure that ball was going to go on the wall.
And Walter Williams and Agee collided again back on the warning track.
But this time Tommy Agee held onto the ball.
So they better get a traffic cop out there or Walter is going to stop all over them.
I tell you, when you run into that little fire plug, you know you run into something.
And when Tommy caught the ball, he looked at Walter.
Walter looked at him and Tommy just shook his head in disbelief.
Tommy looking over to Colavito saying, it's your turn now.
Here is Rico Petrocelli.
The shortstop, two out and nobody on.
And the pitch to Rico.
Gets away from the catcher and it is ball one.
At the end of five innings, Kansas City eight and Baltimore five.
Here in the bottom of the second inning, it's the White Sox, three and Boston, nothing.
High infield fly.
The second baseman, Buford, calling for the ball and he has it to retire the side.
Three up and three down, no runs, no hits, no errors.
At the end of two, at Boston, Bob Elson with red brush.
The White Sox, three runs, four hits. Boston, no runs, no hits.
You know, it's great to have this long Labor Day weekend here.
For many of you, it's a chance to get out of the country and for others,
well, it's a chance to have the gang over for a backyard party.
Well, whatever the fun, be sure to include some Old Style.
Old Style brightens up any occasion.
It's a brew that, well, just seems to go with right, right people every time.
That's because Old Style is real beer.
A beer that's so light and likable, one that's easy to stay with glass after glass.
So have all you like. You won't fill up on Old Style.
While other billers are brewed once, G. Heilman brews Old Style twice.
They pure brew it, and that second brewing takes months.
Sure, it'd be cheaper and easier to brew and bottle the beer in a few days,
but then it wouldn't be genuine Old Style.
It takes all that extra time to put the bubbles in naturally to give it real beer character.
So try twice brewed Old Style by the G. Heilman Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Our game at Boston is moving into the third inning, the White Sox 3 and Boston nothing.
And the leadoff batter will be Pete Ward, who had a sharp base hit to right the first time up.
Here is Ward.
At the end of five at Chicago, the Cubs won, the New York met nothing.
Detroit and Minnesota, nothing, nothing.
Well, we want the Sox to win here today, and I think like to see Detroit beat Minnesota.
Really bunch this thing up tight. Here is a ball high.
Remember the box office, Tommy Maloney and his crew will be on hand tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday
from 10 to 4 at White Sox Park.
For the convenience of all of you fans, California wins tonight.
Swing as he tried to uppercut a low inside pitch.
And it's a ball one, and a strike one count.
The Tigers will be at White Sox Park Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, a big double bill.
Ball that's up high and away, two and one.
Nobody on, nobody out in the third.
Strong wind blowing toward right field.
Lomborgas set again, and a low fastball in the dirt.
Ball three, strike one.
Nobody on, nobody out.
This broadcast is being heard on the Armed Forces radio around the world, we're happy to say.
Nice to be talking with the men and women of our Armed Forces.
We'll pause now for station identification.
We'll pause now for station identification. We'll pause ten seconds now for station identification.
Hear that tempting sizzle, smell that appetizing aroma, and boy do they taste good.
They're Leon's Wieners.
WMAQ, NDZ in Chicago.
The Detroit Tigers are out in the fourth inning.
No score, Minnesota batting. Ward steps out.
Here today in the third game of the series, it's Lomborg, an 18-game winner against Torland, a 14-game winner.
And a hard-hipped ground ball, but Scott grabs the ball, runs to the bag, out on an unassisted play.
That'll bring up Rocky Conovito, who dropped the pop-fly two-bagger in center field the last time up and drove in a run.
Rocky Conovito in the batter's box.
Here is the pitch to him, and it's a low inside fastball for ball one.
The Tigers next weekend at White Sox Park, and the following weekend the Minnesota twins,
Killebrew, Oliva, and all the rest.
Swing and a miss, tried to check it one-and-one.
So it's a ball one and a strike one count.
Conovito takes low, a ball, ball two and strike one.
A ball two and a strike one count.
Jim Lomborg gets the sign, and now the wind blows the dust around again, and Conovito takes his left sleeve,
pulls it up, and kind of wipes his face.
The coolish, windy day.
Here comes the pitch, and it's a ball, it's low.
Rocky Conovito, three-and-one on Rocky.
Here is a line drive hit into left field for Conovito.
Hit that ball like a bullet.
So we have a man on with one out.
That for the White Sox is hit number five.
Boston doesn't have any, or has none, and it's going to bring up Tommy McCraw,
who had a hit the first time in two RBI.
Rocky Conovito on first base, and Tommy McCraw the batter.
Tommy pulls one into the Boston dugout, and the boys scurry for cover down there.
Remember, tomorrow's game is a two o'clock game, one o'clock Chicago time,
the leadoff man show at 12.40 with Dominic DiMaggio.
The pitch to Tommy McCraw is way low and outside of ball.
That is one-and-one.
A ball one and a strike one count.
Conovito's going down and a hit-and-run play, a bouncing ball to Andrews.
The batter is going to be out. He is. Andrews to Scott. Conovito's on second.
So it is up now to J.C. Martin to try to knock that run in.
The last time he really drilled one toward right field, it was a line drive knee-high right at Scott.
Hit like a cannon shot.
Conovito at second base and J.C. Martin the batter.
Here is a high outside pitch for ball one.
Tomorrow we'll see Tommy John against Lee Stang, a left-hander against a right-hander.
Conovito at second base, two out.
The pitch to Martin is outside again of ball two.
On deck is Ronnie Hemp.
They're going to walk him purposely now.
Intentional pass.
That is the third walk of the ball game given up by Lombard and it's going to bring up Hanson who walked the first time up.
Two men on and two out in the third at Boston.
The runners on first and second and Ronnie Hanson the batter.
Here is a high foul. The Cubs lead the match one to nothing in the middle of the sixth.
Detroit and Minnesota no score at the end of fourth.
Now it's a one-strike count on Hanson.
Here is the pitch and it's high and outside of ball.
White Sox scored three runs in the first inning and they're leading by that margin in the third inning, three to nothing.
Harlan and Lombard.
He set again.
He hit that outside corner across the knee. One and two.
One and two.
Very strong wind blowing toward right field.
And a ground ball down the third. They're firing the second to Andrews and they force Martin sliding in to try to beat that wrap but he couldn't.
And it retires inside.
Forced out five to four.
So no runs, one hit, a walk and two men are left again.
And the White Sox have stranded five runners in the first three innings as well as having three score.
Middle of the third, the White Sox three Boston nothing.
This one puts down a thirst without filling you up. Heilemann's Old Style, the one beer that's brewed twice, not just once like other beers.
Pure Brewed, a second brewing that makes Old Style easy to stay with glass after glass.
Pure Brewed by G. Heilemann of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Old Style, the light and likeable brew.
Twice Brewed, Pure Brewed, Old Style.
Our game at Boston is moving into the bottom of the third inning. The score is the White Sox three and Boston nothing.
The leadoff batter is Elston Howard.
Well the NBC crew has been set up here since yesterday getting all set.
We also have a big staff here today, Red and I. We have Dan McCabe as the engineer.
Bill Rayner in charge of scores, Frank DeRosa in charge of production.
We have quite a crew as well.
And the pitch is a strike that hit that outside corner right across the knee.
Here's a pitch that goes into the dirt and bounces way up on the screen.
Kansas City eight, Baltimore five at the end of sixth. Make it going to the bottom of the seventh.
Here is the pitch to Howard and a swing and a foul tip strike.
And it's a ball one and a strike two count on the batter. Nobody on, nobody out.
The bottom of the third, White Sox three and Boston nothing.
Monday we have a double header at Yankee Stadium and Tuesday a day game and then fly home.
And Wednesday night play California at Sox Park. Thursday is an open day. Friday night Detroit.
Saturday Detroit. Sunday a double header with the Detroit Tigers.
Don't wait to get your tickets because you can get them today, tomorrow, Sunday at the box office, Monday at the box office.
And a pitch in very close to Howard. It is now a ball two and a strike two count.
Ball two and strike two.
Howard trying to get something started here in the bottom of the third inning for Boston.
They trail by three one runs. There's Harlan now. Shakes off a sign.
Now he has the one he wants and here it is. Strike three. Right across the knees. Out on strike.
So that is strike out number one today for Harlan.
And he caught Howard looking at a fastball right across the knees.
That's going to bring up Lombard. That's number seventy five for Harlan.
He has seventy four going in.
So here is Lombard. Big slim lad. Number sixteen.
And the pitch. A bunt. It's in front of the plate. He's going to be thrown out.
Martin to McCraw took a nice convenient big hop and he grabbed the ball and fired it.
He's out at first and there are two balls.
Now we go to the top of the batting order and Andrews the second baseman.
White Sox three Boston nothing two out in the bottom of the third.
Here is Andrews stepping into the batter's box.
Two out and nobody on.
Very important ball game to both teams as is the game between Detroit and Minnesota.
Swing and a miss.
There is no score at Bloomington Minnesota batting in the bottom of the fifth inning.
And it's McLean a right hander against Boswell a right hander.
Andrews.
Popped out to McCraw the first time up.
Now the pitch to him. That's a little bit too tight above the knee and it's a ball one and a strike one count.
Arlen steps back of the rubber gets the rosin bag.
He's ready again.
The pitch to Andrews they cut in a foul it's back to the screen.
And a ball one and a strike two count for Andrews.
The Boston Red Sox is still looking for their first hit in this ballgame.
The White Sox have made five and the White Sox lead three to nothing with a big three spot in the first.
When whips the dust dirt around again.
Here comes the pitch to Andrews and it's a little bit too low a ball two and a strike two count.
Well managers thank you in spite of the left field wall swung to a couple of left handers here today.
Martin and McCraw and so far it has paid off.
McCraw drove in two runs in the first inning.
The pitch to Andrews a line drive a hit in front of Walter Williams first hit the ball.
So there was a line drive and a hit in the left field.
Put the man on first base and it brings up a dare.
You football fans at the half it's the New York Giants 13 and the Eagles three.
Now the pitch swing and a hit.
Andrews going to hold at second base and we've had hits here back to back by Boston their first hit.
Going to bring up the dangerous Carl Yastramsky.
At the end of five at Minnesota the Minnesota Twins one Detroit nothing.
So we're going to have a conference now at the mound.
The catcher the first baseman.
The batter is Carl Yastramsky.
Walking up into the batter's box right here now in his white uniform.
Andrews at second a dare at first two out bottom of the third.
The outfield playing him deep and around to the right.
Now the pitch swing and a bouncing ball to McCraw near the bag up with it on the bag outside retired.
So in the inning there were no runs there were two hits and there were two men left on the base.
At the end of three at Boston the White Sox three and Boston nothing.
You know almost invariably the guys who know their baseball also know their beer and boy do they drink a lot of beers.
So naturally they select the beer they can stay with and that's old style.
They pop open that first can or bottle just before the game gets underway and begin the task of rooting home their favorite team.
You know sometimes being a loyal fan isn't easy when the manager pulls your favorite pitcher or when the best hitter on the club doesn't come through in the clutch.
Well at least old style comes through.
There's no other beer that satisfies quite like old style.
You can drink all you like and never fill up and every gulp is real beer.
Brew the special way to make it light and likable and to satisfy the way beer should.
No matter how the game goes you can bank on old style glass after glass after glass.
Yes enjoy a real beer twice brewed pure brewed old style from the G. Heileman Brewers La Crosse Wisconsin.
Our ballgame at Boston is moving into the top of the fourth inning.
Bob Ilson with Red Rush the White Sox three and Boston nothing.
Tomorrow the final game of the series and then to New York for a doubleheader on Monday and a single game on Tuesday and then back home to White Sox Park for a night game on Wednesday.
Well we hope that our good friend Bernard Whelan of the Chicago Police Department just about recovered at Michael Reese Hospital.
See him back at the out at one of the games and we get back.
Here is Harlan stepping into the batter's box.
Fourth inning getting underway the White Sox three Boston nothing the pitch strike at the knee.
Again the wind up and the pitch a little bouncer but it was off his leg and it is strike two.
Well the place is mobbed again today.
Boy we've got a sunny day a windy day a beautiful crowd and some ballgame.
He said here is a ball that's very high and it's a ball one and a strike to count.
Right hander Jim Lomborg eighteen and six against right hander Joel Holland wind up again the pitch.
Here's a high chop off his over his head off the air with a fastball right down the middle.
Tommy Maloney Ernie Carroll always listening back at the ballpark down current secure as a pop fly a hit to right in front of the right fielder.
So little Walter has himself a pair of hits here and that for the White Sox is hit number six Boston has made to.
That's going to bring up Buford who is 0 for 2.
Don Buford stepping into the batter's box.
And a ball it's low.
Lomborg looks at a dare who is playing shallow in on the grass.
Walter Williams at first base takeover waters back.
Don Buford looking for his first hit he caught the outside corner above the knee with a beauty one and one.
We'll get a station break in here momentarily.
Lomborg is set takeover. Let's do it now. We'll pause 10 seconds now for station identification.
WMAQ NBC in Chicago.
Here is a low fastball to Buford. Now we have a ball to and a strike to count.
The Detroit Tigers are out in the sixth inning Minnesota leads 1 to nothing.
Bows well over McLean of the Tigers with all of their power and good hitting last night they were hurt on a couple of big errors by Eddie Matthews at third base.
They pitched a Buford a ground foul along the first base line and a ball to and a strike to count.
Tomorrow in the final game of the series at 2 o'clock Eastern time at 1 o'clock Chicago time it'll be Lee Spang a right hander against Tommy John the left hander.
A ball to and a strike to count.
Here is the pitch runner going and it's a high pop fly shallow right Williams is going back or the wind blowing the ball and they made a great catch close to first and Williams just got back.
What a catch he made it that ball.
He had the second baseman Andrews running around in circles.
He finally made a dive for the ball and got it and Walter Williams just missed getting doubled off first base.
All right I thought we were going to get a break there that that ball might drop.
Well it looked like it was going to that wind certainly was a factor.
Harrelson had no chance at all and he was running fast to get to it and Mike Andrews the last second got it.
You know little Walter didn't know what to do that time.
He doesn't know whether how far down to get he was afraid to the ball was going to be caught.
Here is a G a swing and a miss and it is one strike and the danger there was if he didn't get down far enough and the ball did drop he could still be forced with a throw to second base.
But he just did get back the first Tommy G the batter.
And a high inside fastball it's one and one.
Walter Williams on first base white socks lead three to nothing and a peg over the first Walters back.
Well we told you that that strong tricky win today could have an effect on some of these balls.
Walters going I chopper over the pitcher's head second baseman as water going to third he caught he's out.
It'll be a hit for a G and Williams without going to third.
It is a hit.
So there was a very very high chop over the pitcher's head and the second baseman grabbed the ball.
There was no play at first base suddenly he saw Williams going to third base and he threw him out that play going Andrews to a there.
So in the inning top of the fourth no runs two hits and one man left on the bases the stocks have stranded six middle of the fourth inning.
The White Sox three Boston nothing and exclusive club is just open for membership.
The kind of club that guarantees prestige and an important place in the community.
There are no fees no dues but the entrance requirements are really stiff.
It's an elite club all right membership is allowed by achievement alone.
It's the four mile club created to honor exceptional achievement the achievement of those who have played a key role in drilling completing or servicing a well four miles beneath the surface of the earth.
As of January there were only 63 wells drilled four miles or deeper throughout the world.
Few companies have the confidence to attempt the job four miles down viewers still have the know how to succeed and Eastman Oil Well Survey Company is proud to announce that it is eligible for membership in the elite four mile club.
Wouldn't you like to have Eastman work for you.
Eastman Oil Well Survey Company is a subsidiary of Art Nell.
Our game is moving into the bottom of the fourth inning at Boston the White Sox three and Boston nothing and the leadoff batter is first baseman George Scott.
Here is a ball it's low.
Cubs for and the Mets nothing at the end of six at Chicago in the first game of a double bill.
Arlen said again and ready to fire and here is a line drive Guilford leaps up and grabs it for the.
Coming up center fielder Reggie Smith.
Here is Reggie Smith.
Ready to step into the batter's box.
Batting left handed.
They have two hits the White Sox have seven hit Reggie looks outside ball one.
He said again and the pitch to Reggie a low fastball.
It is ball two.
Washington and New York will play a night game.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh at night Giants and Cincinnati Dodgers at Atlanta all night.
Houston at St. Louis night.
There's a well tag long fly center field.
Agey way back the ball hit the wall.
The right fielder is going to pick it up.
Here's a long relay throw and he is in the third with a long triple off the center field.
That ball hit the center field wall over a G's head.
The right fielder coming over kind of veto.
Pick that ball up as it caromed off the wall and let loose a long throw and they let the ball go directly on through the third.
So Reggie is on third base one out bottom of the fourth inning.
That's his number three for Boston.
Now the batter is Harold.
He had a long fly the first time the left center.
It was caught in the wind stream coming across from the left field corner to the right field corner and it held that ball up.
Here is a ground ball the short back a second out to run the score and the score now is three to one.
So now we have a three to one ball game a triple with one out and an infield out scored it and Haroldson picked up an RBI.
That's going to bring up Rico Petrocelli.
That is the forty seventh RBI for Haroldson.
Rico Petrocelli.
And a swing and a high foul down in the corner it may go into the stands and it does.
I refer to the stands that parallel the third base line.
In other words the box seats are down here in front of us.
They're running along the line and then just past third base they jet out to the foul line and extend all the way down into the left field corner.
Those are the stands there are no stands in left field proper.
But there are stands in right field all the way across the field.
One strike.
The pitch.
Foul tip strike check swing but it's a strike strike two.
White Sox three and Boston one.
Here is a ground foul.
Well I see the Chicago Bears made a mighty comeback last night really wallop the St. Louis Cardinals.
I want to make George Hallis feel pretty good and his son who is a new neighbor of mine.
Here is the pitch and it's a ball it's a little bit too low and it's a ball one and a strike two count.
White Sox have three runs on seven hits Boston has one run on three hits.
One and two.
Here is the pitch to Petrocelli and it's too close a ball two and two.
Rico Petrocelli a great little ball player.
He was the backup man to Fregosi on the American League All-Star team at short the pitch.
Too low a ball three and two for Rico.
Three and two for Rico Petrocelli.
Nobody on two out and one run in and the bottom of the fourth.
The outfield is deep straight away.
The pitch a ball in the dirt.
Second walk.
That's going to bring up the catcher Elston Howard.
Monday the White Sox play a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium.
Tuesday a single daytime game at New York.
Then head for home.
Harris Howard in the batter's box.
And the pitch swing and a ground ball to second base.
Guilford's got it easy play.
In the inning the bottom of the fourth inning one run one hit one walk one left.
We are now at the end of four at Boston.
Bob Eltsin with red brush.
White Sox three runs seven hits.
Boston one run three hits.
LSD ATD NBC BOD.
You know we're living in an age of initials but that last one BOD sounds strange.
Not quite as common as the others.
That's because it's new to us non-scientific people.
So I think I'll do a bit of explaining here.
BOD means biochemical oxygen demand.
More specifically it means biochemical oxygen demand in natural bodies of water.
Water needs a certain amount of oxygen.
When organic minerals are discharged into a body of water the oxygen content is depleted and the water then becomes stagnant.
So BOD checks are run often to keep check on the quantity of the water.
These checks are an integral part of the water pollution control services provided by Aqua Systems Corporation.
The men at Aqua Systems can determine just where you stand at this pollution problem and they can help you do something about it.
Call Aqua Systems Corporation 922-1163 for complete information.
Aqua Systems Corporation.
Well our game at Boston is moving into the top of the fifth inning as we near the halfway point of the ballgame.
And the leadoff batter for the White Sox in the fifth inning will be Ward.
He'll be followed by Colabito and then by McCraw.
Sox lead 3-1.
At Kansas City Krause is pitching for Kansas City.
In the ninth at Minnesota Gladding is pitching for Detroit in the sixth.
So it sounds like the twins are getting some more.
If the White Sox beat Boston and the twins beat Detroit, they, the twins, go in the first place.
Here is Ward.
Ward has one for two off longboard.
And a ball, it's low and away, ball one.
Sox three, they have one. Sox have seven hits, Boston three hits.
Here is a strike, gets right down the middle.
A ball one and a strike one count.
And a swing at a low pitch for a strike and it's one and two.
That ball almost landed in the dirt.
The jet stream is blowing toward right field if Ward could get that ball up in the air.
And a swing and a miss, a second miss.
That is the fourth strikeout full on board, 199.
He has second only to Sudden Sam McDowell of Cleveland.
Here is Rocky Colabito.
He's got a single and a double and a ball and he asked the ump to take a look at it.
Tomorrow it's going to be Lee Stang against Tommy John in the final game of the series.
The pitch to Colabito is low, it's ball two.
Two and nothing on Rocky Colabito.
Most of the customers brought raincoats, top coats, at the chilly windy day.
And a ground ball foul just outside the line, backhanded by a dare.
A ball two and a strike one count.
Set again.
Here is the pitch and a swing and a foul tip strike, it's two and two.
Top of the fifth inning, one out.
Lombard looks down at Howard again getting a sign in the fifth.
Swing and a miss, he got him on a wide-wicking first ball.
Bring him to the batter's box.
Now he asked the ump fire to look at the ball after the strike.
So they must feel that there's a strange reaction here to the ball because that's about the fifth or sixth time the ump has been asked to examine it.
But there are cross and strong wind currents flowing here today that also can affect the baseball.
Swing and a miss, and it is strike two for Tommy McCraw.
Two out and nobody on, the White Sox three and Boston one.
And a ball wide, one and two.
One and two.
He's set again and the pitch is way outside a ball and it's two and two.
Two and a strike, two counts.
The outfield is plain to the right and deep.
Here's a ground foul off his leg.
It is still two and two.
The final game of this four-game series here tomorrow at 2 o'clock Eastern time at 1 o'clock Chicago time.
The leadoff man show is Dominic DiMaggio at 1240.
Here is the pitch to McCraw and it's way outside ball three.
From the top of the fifth inning at Fenway Park in Boston, here's a swing and a foul back up on the screen.
Though a ball free strike two count, still here on Tommy McCraw with two out and nobody on.
And a high chopper hit to the second baseman, an easy play.
He's out, side retired.
Three up and three down, no runs, no hits, no errors.
Middle of the fifth inning, the score of the White Sox three runs, seven hits.
Boston one run on three hits.
You know it's always interesting and amusing to discover how recipes for some of the world's best known dishes come into being.
They tell a story about the time of Napoleon when he returned to his camp fresh from a great victory
and his chef wanted to please him with something elaborate.
Well, he discovered that the supply train had been delayed and well, there was, to make a long story short, one chicken available.
And he quickly rounded up olive oil, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic to augment the feast.
This resulting dish brought a lot of praise from Napoleon and it's since become one of the world's best loved chicken dishes.
Named for the Italian battle, it is known as chicken moringo.
Well, whatever you call it, however you cook it, it's a wonderful, wonderful dish and that's chicken.
Enjoy it all.
This message by Van Tress Farms, a division of Art Nels.
Well, fans, we're at the halfway point of a very, very fine ballgame and we hope it continues in this vein.
These Red Sox, however, are very, very tough in this ballpark and the White Sox are not home yet.
They lead, however, three to one in the middle of the fifth.
Now this is Bob Elston saying goodbye for a little while and here is Redmond.
All right, thank you, Bob.
It'll be Jim Lombard who gets a fine hand as he steps up here.
It'll be followed by Mike Andrews and then Jerry Adair in that order.
Jim Lombard who bounced out from the catcher to the first baseman.
He is 0 for 1.
He'll be followed by Andrews and Adair.
Andrews has a single.
Adair has a single.
Two of the three hits given up by Joe Horland.
Even with the bag at third is Pete Ward, backed up as short as Hanson.
Deep on the grass is Buford.
Here comes the pitch.
A swing and a miss.
Strike one.
Kansas City beat Baltimore 8 to 6.
The winner, Diego Segui and the loser, Wally Bunker.
Diego Segui is 3 and 4.
Bunker now 3 and 6.
One homer in that game.
The pitch, a swing and a foul back.
Ramon Webster getting it.
At the end of sixth, Minnesota 3 to the Detroit Tigers, nothing.
At the end of seventh, the Cubs 4 and the Mets, nothing.
Now you're caught up right to the minute on all the game.
Here's the pitch by Horland.
A changeup curve bounced down the third base side foul.
Ward coming in and getting it.
On to the count on Jim Lombard.
On deck, Mike Andrews.
A 3 to 1 ball game.
The White Sox leading at Fenway Park in Boston.
On to the count on big Jim Lombard.
Horland goes into the lineup.
The right-hander delivers a back ball low and away, 1 and 2.
One ball and two strikes.
The outfield's fairly shallow on Jim.
A 1-2 delivery and it's way outside a curveball.
2 and 2.
Two balls, two strikes.
Joe Horland looks in to battery mate J.C. Martin.
Gets the sign.
Goes into the glove.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a line shot.
The Ward reaching up to his right and taking it right over his shoulders.
A line shot.
So one down here on the fifth.
And Mike Andrews comes to the plate.
Mike has one of the three hits.
He pops the first and got a single to left.
Andrews' 6-3, 190-pounder, makes his home in Harbor City, California.
He was born in Los Angeles.
Ward coming in about a half step inside the bag at third.
Outfield, fairly deep on Mike Andrews.
A good, strong wind blowing from left field across the diamond toward right.
And the pitch is a curveball low, 1 and 0.
Tommy Agee shaded to left about 25 feet.
And Collavito about 80 feet off the line in right field.
Buford backed up at second.
Over near second.
Here's the 1-0 pitch and a curveball caught the outside corner.
Detroit's out in the seventh, failing to score.
Minnesota leading in that game, 3 to nothing.
3 to 1, the score here, White Sox on top.
One down, bottom of the fifth.
The pitch to the plate and he squares the button, takes it low.
Ward came charging down the line at third when Andrews shortened up on the bat.
A dare in the on-back circle.
Mike Andrews.
Here comes the pitch to Mike.
A swing and a bouncing ball off of the foot of Horland.
Goes back over toward the left field line.
Williams gets it and Andrews has got himself a double right off the foot of Joe Horland.
Boy, I want to tell you, that ball,
Kerim and Pete Ward trying to put on the break,
is stretching his back and Charlie Saad
goes out to the mound to make sure Horland's all right
and he reassures Charlie that he is.
So Andrews is on at second with a Kerim double.
Looks like a three-cushion billiard shot.
And that will bring Jerry Adair to the plate.
He was on an air by Ward and then singles in the center field.
Andrews on at second.
It's a 3-1 ball game. White Sox lead.
But remember that left field wall is only 315 feet away from home plate.
It's a 40-foot ball.
The pitch, a swing and a miss over a good pop curve.
Jerry Adair, one for two.
Four hits have now been given up by Joe Horland.
One run has been given up.
That came in the fourth inning. The White Sox got the three in the first.
Horland delivers a curve ball.
He tries to check his swing and bounces his foul down to Eddie Popowski
in the third base coach's box is Bobby Doerr in the first base coach's box for the Boston Red Sox.
Pete Ward goes out to the mound to have a couple of words with Joe Horland.
Buford three steps back on the grass and over even with second.
Ward deep at third. Hanson backs up at short.
Horland to the waste. Here comes the pitch.
Pass ball bounced down to Buford, holds the runner, throws the first and has Adair.
That ball was hit sharply on the right side to Buford who came in onto the skin part of a diamond
after being two steps back on the grass.
And now here comes the dangerous Carl Jeskremski.
There's a sign right down to our right here that says let's go yeah.
Carl Jeskremski from Linfield, Massachusetts.
28 years of age, 60 tall and 180 pounders.
And get these credentials, a 311 batting average, 35 homers, 95 runs batted in.
Two down, Horland delivers a pass ball low and outside.
On deck, George Scott.
Three to one White Sox lead. We're in the bottom of the fifth inning of play.
Horland checks the runner. Here's the 1-0 delivery.
And a good one on the outside corner right beneath the letters.
One and one.
One ball, one strike, two down with Mike Andrews on at second with a Karam double.
Going right off the foot of Joe Horland and bouncing over past Pete Ward
and Walt Williams, the left fielder, had to come in to field the ball.
Horland delivers. And he caught the outside corner with a curve ball that just nibbled away
right below the weight and above the knee.
One and two, the count on Carl Jeskremski.
Don Buford is deep at second. A step back on the grass is Tommy McCraw at first.
Deep and right is Colavito. Over and right center, Tommy Agee.
110 feet off the line and left is Walt Williams. The pitch outside two and two.
Two balls, two strikes, two down.
At the end of seven and a half, the Cubs four and the Mets nothing.
Jeskremski the batter with two away.
Right-hander Horland starts to go to the waist and Jeskremski steps out.
Bill Howler of the plate umpire calls time.
And now Jeskremski gets back in and gets his toe hold, measures the plate.
The infield swung around to the right and deep. Ward a good 35 feet off the line at third.
Here's the pitch. A swing and a ball foul back.
Let's pause now ten seconds for station identification.
Leons the tenderest, juiciest, best-pacing wieners your money can buy.
Get Leons for your cookout.
WMAQ NBC in Chicago.
Two and two, the count on Carl Jeskremski. A three-to-one ballgame, White Sox lead by two.
But with Jeskremski up here in a runner-on, that lead can be in jeopardy.
Remember, the wind is blowing from left field across the diamond, the stream going to right field.
So if he can get one up in the air, it could be.
Bob Locker loosening up in the bullpen for the White Sox.
Horland comes to the plate. A swing and a foul ball right back to the left side out of play.
Jeskremski with the number eight on the back of his uniform.
It's a red number eight with that black headgear, white uniform, and red lettering across the front saying,
Red Sox. His Sox are red, white, and black.
Horland delivers a swing and a bouncing ball right side.
Buford charges, has it, throws. He's out at first base.
So in the inning, no runs, one hit, no errors, and one man left the board.
At the end of five, the score at Fenway Park in Boston.
It's the White Sox three and Boston one.
You know, you say your company moved into town about a year ago.
Locating in the Chicago area provide hundreds of jobs.
You did your best to make your industrial plant attractive.
The mayor never did come down to present you with a key to the city.
But, well, we can guarantee you a key, a special kind of key, usually known as a turnkey, a turnkey project.
Aqua Systems Corporation is the new company, Chicago-based, organized to deal with water pollution.
They can work as advisors or develop this advice into an individualized control process.
Call the man at the Aqua Systems Corporation at 922-1163.
They can tell you more about the turnkey project.
That number is 922-1163, the Aqua Systems Corporation.
We are now going into the top of the sixth inning of play with J.C. Martin, Ron Hanson, and Joe Horland in that order to come up here.
At the end of three quarters, it's the New York Giants 13 and Philadelphia Eagles 10.
J.C. Martin, who lined a shot right into the first baseman Smith and then drew an intentional pass after having two balls on him.
He comes in here.
J.C. is 0 for 1.
Ron Borgen, five innings, has given up three runs on seven hits, walked three, and struck out five.
He gave up all three runs in the first inning after two were out.
Right-hander winds up. Here's the pitch. A swing, a little pop-up, a third.
Coming in quick is Adair. He can't get it as it goes into foul territory, bouncing one hop into the stand.
So Adair came charging. Elston Howard went running out in foul territory, but the ball dropped rapidly to the ground and then bounced into the stand.
0-1 the count on J.C. Martin. Big Jim Lomborg, 18 wins, six losses this year.
6-5, 200 pounders. The right-hander delivers, and it's into the dirt in front of the plate, 1-1.
One ball, one strike. We are in the top of the sixth inning of play.
Red Rush, along with Bob Elson, on the play-by-play story from Fenway Park in Boston.
Low and outside, 2-1.
The score on the ball game, 3-1, the White Sox lead.
Right-hander Lomborg says yes to the sign. Here's the big kick, the pitch, a swing, and a high skyscraper on the infield.
Scott, at first, backs up in foul territory and makes the catch.
One down.
That'll bring Ron Hanson to the plate. Hanson walks and bounced into a fielder's choice to end the inning in the third.
Ron Hanson, right-handed swinger with seven homers, 45 runs batted in, takes the fastball outside.
On deck is Joe Horland.
Defensively, a dare is deep at third. Petracelli backs up at short, and on the grass at second is Andrews, a fastball on the outside corner right at the waistline.
1-1 the count on, Ron.
Big Jim Lomborg goes into the windup, the 1-1 delivery, tries to lay a bunt down, pops it up, it's falling in front of a dare, he gets it, and then drops the ball.
That'll go as a base hit, I'm sure. It is a base hit.
He tried to lay a bunt down and popped it out over the mound. A dare came charging in from third, and Petracelli from short, and it's just a little infield single.
Well, you don't see Hanson laying down too many bunks, Bob.
No, he evidently saw a dare back and decided to try to do what Walter Williams did, catch them by surprise.
But he got a base hit anyway in an odd fashion as that bunt jumped right over the pitcher's head.
Joe Horland, the batter, with Hanson on it first. A dare shallow at third. He squares the bunt, pushes it down to Scott. Scott Hanson could be double play, no, Hanson is back.
As he fired to Andrews coming over, and Hanson dove headlong back. As Horland trying to sacrifice, got the ball in the air to first baseman Scott.
That will bring Walt Williams to the plate. Walt is two for three here this afternoon. He struck out on the first, laid down a beautiful bunt on the second, and then lined a single to right in the fourth.
And Hiller has gone into pitch for the Tigers in the seventh inning. Minnesota leading three to nothing in that ballgame.
The pitch to Walter, a swing and a line shot hit right past Grover Riesinger, and that third base coach is back.
Ron Hanson on it first. Three to one, White Sox lead in the ballgame. We are in the top half of the sixth inning of play at Fenway.
Lomborg to the waste, here's the pitch, and he curves him on the outside corner. Walder turns around, walks out, and scoops up some dirt.
Walder shakes his head as he comes back in here. You know, read that big weekend series with the Minnesota Twins at Chicago. Two weeks from this weekend looks bigger all the time.
Yes, it certainly does. Here's the pitch to Walder, and he takes it outside one and two.
I'd like to remind you that the ticket office is open tomorrow and Monday from 10 until 4 for your convenience out at White Sox Park, so get out and pick up your tickets for all of the remaining home games the White Sox have.
Lomborg checks the runner. Here's the pitch high over the head of Walt Williams, two and two. Two balls, two strikes, and two down. We are in the top of the sixth.
Boy, you talk about a tight pennant race. This is certainly it.
Boston on top by a half game in front of Minnesota, two in front of Detroit, two and a half in front of the White Sox. Inside, and Walder jumps in the air and backs up. Full count, three and two.
So two and a half games separate the top four clubs in the American League, and it could be tighter after today.
Lomborg to the waist, Hanson leads. He'll be running. There he goes. The pitch, a swing and a drive up the alley in the center. It's going to be in there for extra bases.
Hanson is going to score. He rounds third. Walder rounds second. He's on his way to third. Petracelli relays. He'll dive, and he is out at third base.
He's going to fade away, but the run scores. It goes in the double, and a run batted in. And that relay goes from eighth to sixth to five.
Getting Walder at third as he put a fade away five. It's a run batted in, and that makes it a four to one ball game.
In the inning, it was one run, two hits, no errors, and nobody left the board.
And so at the end, the five and a half things to play here at Fenway Park in Boston, the score, the White Sox 4-Boston 1.
You know, starting Wednesday night at home at Chicago, the White Sox open a very, very big and a very important home stand.
And that's why the box office at Stocks Park is open tomorrow Sunday.
It'll be open Monday, Labor Day, from 10 o'clock in the morning until 4 in the afternoon for the convenience of all of you fans.
And boy, this thing isn't over by a long shot. The White Sox are leading Boston here now 4-1.
They open at home with California, then a big four-game weekend with Detroit, and then the Cleveland Indians come in,
and then the big weekend series with the rough-and-tough Minnesota Twins.
They'll be leading the league today if the White Sox beat Boston and they beat Detroit.
So we have a lot of big games coming up at home, and don't miss a single one.
Remember, the box office at Stocks Park is open tomorrow and on Monday from 10 to 4.
It'll be the middle three in the batting order, George Scott, Reggie Smith, and Kenny Harrelson.
In that order, the face, the right-hander, Joe Horland, who in five innings has given up one run on four hits,
walked two, struck out one. The pitch to Scott, a swing and a bouncing ball, foul at third by about a foot at the most.
Boy, Walter really brought his hitting togs today, Bob. He has two singles and a solid double.
Walter is enjoying himself thoroughly. He spiked A.G. once today, collided with him another time, has had three big hits.
He's run all over this ballpark and he's really had himself a day.
Horland into the windup, here comes the pitch, right down the pike for a colt's direct two.
Well, Frank DeRosa and I were having dinner with Walter last night and we said,
you know, we expect you to get four hits tomorrow. Walter didn't even know he was going to be in the lineup.
And he's got three of them all right, Frank. Maybe we better have dinner with all the boys.
George Scott, who is 0-2, grounds into a double play and then lined one to Buford, the second baseman who is back on the grass.
The 0-2 pitch, a curveball fouled off the right side going into the stands.
Minnesota hit Detroit with a two-spot. Minnesota five, Detroit nothing at the end of seven.
George Scott with a 3-0-2 batting average. The big guy is 6'2", weighs 220 pounds.
Twenty-three years of age from Greenville, Mississippi. The pitch, a passball just a little wide.
One ball and two strikes on the batter, George Scott.
Here comes the pitch, a swing and a bouncing ball right side. Buford at the edge of the grass, has it, throws, got him. Nice play by Dime.
At the end of eight innings of play, the Chicago Cubs in the first of a double-dipper, five, and the Mets nothing.
Well, those Chicago Cubs are only 11-1 half games out of the league lead. They're in third place, a half game behind Cincinnati.
And they've got a big weekend against the New York Mets.
Reggie Smith, who scored the only run of the ballgame, he tripled off the center field wall and he flied the left.
Here's the pitch and he takes it outside, ball one. Pete Ward on Reggie, playing shallow, a good 25 feet inside the bag.
Smith wants the umpire to examine the ball. He does and throws it right back out to Joe Horland.
I'll say one thing, Bob, they've examined that ball on both sides quite a few times today.
Horland has the sign, here comes the pitch, a swing and a drive deep to center.
A.G.'s there, waiting now and he's got it.
Boy, Reggie is kissing that ball well this afternoon.
Once for a triple, the other two times just out.
That'll bring Kenny Harrelson to the plate. He drove in the only run when he bounced out deep at shortstop.
Kenny Harrelson, 11 homers, 47 runs batted in.
And we were joking with Kenny prior to the game about his wearing his money belt around his waist when he plays.
Due to the fact that he acquired a little additional money this year by getting a bonus from the Red Sox for signing after getting his unconditional release from Charles O'Finley.
A curveball bounce sharply foul at third.
Two down, we're in the sixth inning of play.
Buford is way back on the grass.
A good three or four steps back on the grass at second.
Hanson deep at short, Pete Ward deep at third.
And backed up at first is Tommy McCraw. The outfield is deep.
A.G. straight away, Williams straight away.
And Colavito about 80 feet off the line. A curveball outside, one and one.
Kenny Harrelson, last night, drove in four runs with a double, a home, or a triple.
And he's driven in the only run of the ball game today for the Red Sox.
So he's paid dividends already. Last night, his first time up in a Red Sox uniform, got a home run.
Here comes the pitch, a swing and a drive going deep out the center.
Way back, back as A.G. leaps up the ball, goes in his glove and out again against the wall.
And Kenny Harrelson has got himself a double.
A.G. leaps up as high as he could. He thought he had it, it hit the top of his glove and fell off.
Well, that shot is a good 380 to 385 feet away.
And Bob, Kenny Harrelson is really ripping the cover off that ball.
Well, I thought Tommy had that ball. He had it in his glove.
Or he touched that ball. And now on the way down, if he'd have been able to keep track of the ball, he might have re-caught it.
But the ball, as he bumped away from the wall, dropped behind him and dropped on the ground.
It was a high shot off the center field fence and a two-basin.
That'll bring Rico Petraselli, who has popped up to the second baseman and drawn a watch.
Harrelson is on at second, two down.
Parland to the waste. Here comes the pitch and it's in there for a called strike.
Dan Osinski is loosening up in the bullpen.
For the Boston Red Sox, just in case they get down to Longboard, because after Petraselli comes Howard and then Longboard.
The pitch by Horland, a curveball, bounce foul at third.
At the end of seven and a half, Minnesota five, the Detroit Tigers nothing.
As Dave Boswell is trying for his 12th win of the year, Denny McLean started. He was knocked out.
Gladding came on in the sixth.
Hiller came on in the seventh for the Detroit Tigers.
Parland to the waste. The right-hander delivers.
The fastball on the outside corner for a called strike free, caught Petraselli looking.
So in the inning, no runs, one hit, no errors, and one man left.
At the end of six complete innings to play, the score in the ballgame.
It's the White Sox four and Boston one.
Say, you've heard the saying, don't make waves or you've got waves.
The person who tries to ignore the problem, push it under the carpet, will usually do so saying, don't make waves.
But there are others, people who work toward a solution, who will make waves and change the course of action.
And there's a new company in Chicago, the Aqua Systems Corporation.
They're pollution control experts, and they're here to make waves.
Our nation's lakes and waterways have been used as a convenient vehicle for waste,
and it's time to change the course of action.
Aqua Systems is set to make that change possible.
They're organized to deal with water pollution.
Call Aqua Systems at 922-1163 for complete information.
They're going to make lots of waves in the area, so remember the name.
Aqua Systems Corporation.
The number, 922-1163.
In the top half of the seventh inning of play, it will be Don Buford, Tommy Agee, and Pete Ward in that order.
The face right-hander, Jim Lombard.
Well, Dave Wickersham has gone into pitch for the Tigers in the eighth inning, trailing 5-1 in that ballgame.
Minnesota leading.
Don Buford.
Where's this? There's a sign down here that is quite a contrast to what they have been carrying around here.
And this one says, We love Eddie Stanky.
And believe me, here the press has got them on Eddie Stanky, and Stanky, a very stimulating individual.
And consequently, last night they were singing other phrases, and they were winning 10-2.
And now a sign came up down here that drew some boos from the fans.
It said, We love Eddie Stanky. We're with you, sign.
All right, Don Buford, Tommy Agee, and Pete Ward, the face right-hander, Jim Lombard.
Shallow at third is Adair.
Petrocelli over near second.
Backed up at second is the second baseman, Andrews.
Backed up at first, George Scott.
The outfield swung around to the right side with Yastremski a good 95 feet off the left field line, and a curveball high and outside.
4-1, White Sox lead. We're in the top half of the seventh inning of play.
Red Rush along with Bob Elson on the play-by-play story from Fenway Park in Boston, Mass.
Bill Reiner, our stat man, a swing and a foul ball into the stands on the right field side.
0-1 the counter. One ball, one strike to count on Don Buford.
Don, a switch hitter batting left-handed against Big Longborg, and he takes one on the outside corner right above the knees.
Don turns around and walks out of the batter's box.
Boy, Don had some good ones last night, but he's 0-3 here.
The wind blowing quite a bit of dust up, and so Buford turns around, protects his eyes, and walks away.
Now he's back in as the wind settles down a bit.
The Cubs, the winner, 5-0 over the Mets.
There goes that Stanky sign again, and it's low. 2-2.
The youngsters carrying the sign through the stands over on the right side. We love Stanky.
And a couple of kids are going down to take the sign away from them.
Here comes the pitch. A bouncing ball hard down to Scott Fumple that picks it up, underhands it just in time to Jim Longborg.
Nice recovery by George Scott.
Jim Longborg doing the pitching has given up four runs on nine hits.
Well, as Bob pointed out, Longborg on the road has got an earned run average of just a little over 2,
but at home he's got an earned run average of 5.46.
Longborg into the lineup. Here's the pitch to Tommy. A curveball outside, 1-0.
Got a nice telegram before the game today from Bill Hickey, one of the big Chicago White Sox boosters,
saying, get back into the win column after last night's defeat.
And we're with you, Bill. One ball, no strike. Here's the pitch. And it's on the inside corner to Tommy for a called strike one.
Frank DeRosa, who came out here on business from Chicago, our sales manager on WMAQ in Chicago.
The curveball over the middle strike two. And we were discussing over breakfast this morning
the fact that Portland could be the stopper for us here against Boston and get us back in the win column.
And then we get out here and immediately receive a telegram saying the same thing, right, Frank?
One and two. Here's the pitch. A bouncing ball, one hopper, good stab by Longborg.
And as it throws high at first, but God got it, goes one to three.
Two up and two down, and that'll bring Pete Ward to the plate. Ward singled and scored on the first, bounced out the first, and struck out.
He is one for three. Cal Coons was the winner for the Cubs. He's five and four.
Rather, was the loser for the Mets. He's five and four. Coons used to be with the Cubs.
And Joe Nicrow, the winner, he is eight and six. Five, 11 and two for the Cubs, oh, four and two for the Mets.
The Cubs, the winner in the first game, five to nothing. The pitch to Ward, a swing and a foul down.
Off of the foot of Bill Howler, the playdump player, and he retrieves the ball, limping somewhat.
Oh, and one to count. On deck is Rocky Colavito.
Well, you can hear the booze down the right field side. They're taking that We Love Stanky sign everywhere through the stands.
Keep it up, fellas.
Here's the pitch. Genetai, one ball and one strike.
Lomborg, the big, tall right-hander, good-looking pitcher.
Into the windup, the pitch to Ward, a swing and a foul down.
One ball and two strikes.
Pete Ward, the batter, batting 245 on the year with 16 homers and 52 runs batted in.
His homers and RBI total are top on the team.
This will be Lomborg's last inning to work, probably, and the pitch is low, two and two.
For the Red Sox, Elston Howard, Lomborg, and Andrews are scheduled to come up,
so they'll probably have Howard and the pitch hitter for Lomborg in the bottom of the seventh.
Four to one White Sox out in front.
They've got a left-hander loosening up now, a swing and a foul down.
Al Lyle is loosening up.
Again, ready to go, the right-hander delivers.
A curveball pops up over our broadcasting booth out of play.
So the count remains two balls and two strikes on Pete Ward.
Again, Lomborg delivers a swing and a foul ball off the left side into the stands,
a souvenir for one of the fans here at Fenway Park, and they've got plenty of them here today.
They have 35,000.
Let's see, let's get the exact figures.
35,138 in the first game, 35,054 last night, and they've probably got about 33,000, 34,000 today.
Here's the pitch.
A swing and a foul back Ward falls down in the dirt right on home plate.
Boy, you'd think he didn't cork screw into the ground.
I'll tell you, he really did on that one.
He took an all-American cut and an all-American fall.
Two and two, the count on Pete.
Jim Lomborg, the big guy on the mound with 200 strikeouts to his credit, delivers a swing and a foul off.
Let's pause here 10 seconds for station identification.
WMAQ, NBC in Chicago.
Pete Ward the batter.
We're in the last of the seventh inning of play, or the top of the seventh, I should say, with a 4-1 ballgame.
Ward in here, the White Sox and the Red Sox at Fenway.
The pitch, a swing and a high fly deep to center.
Reggie Smith backing up, now comes in right at the warning crack and has it.
Three up and three down here in the seventh.
At the end of sixth and a half of an inning to play, the score, the White Sox four runs on nine hits, the Red Sox one run on five hits.
You know, while you're listening today to White Sox baseball, if you're concerned with any kind of a money problem,
even though it's Saturday, you can do something about it, and that's nice to know because friendly Bob Adams, your loan by phone specialist,
is standing by to be of service to you and to anyone with any kind of a money problem, large or small.
So figure out exactly what you need.
If you need money for a vacation, you hesitate, you want to get your bills paid first.
Well, you know you can do both with a call to Bob Adams at General Finance.
So give him a ring at Andover 32020. Tell him what you need and when you expect to stop by.
And then whenever you do, at any one of our 50 General Finance offices on Tuesday, Monday is a holiday, your money will be ready and waiting.
Andover 32020.
They say there's 28,222, so there must be a lot more empty seats than we could see.
The probable tomorrow, Tommy John for the White Sox and Lee Tsang for the Red Sox.
It will be Jose Tardible coming in here to bat for Howard. Tardible coming in to bat for Howard.
Joe Harlan in six innings has given up one run on five hits.
The pitch, a swing and a high fly to left. Walt Williams moving to his right, coming in, tapping the glove and he's got it for an out.
Joe Poy the batter, batting for Jim Lombard.
Here's the wind up and the pitch and a fastball right over the knees to Joe.
Poy came in last night's ball game, struck out, walked and struck out.
And a strike to the call.
Joe Poy, a big right handed swinger in here.
Poy, six feet tall, 210 pounder, 24 years of age and a fastball outside.
Poy was born and raised in New York.
New York City, New York. That's where the White Sox go after tomorrow's game.
The pitch inside missing two and two.
We've got one down, bottom of the seventh. White Sox lead four to one in the ball game.
Getting three runs in the first inning. Boston came up with a run in the fourth and we countered with a run in the sixth.
Harlan delivers. A bouncing ball, sharply hit down to Ward. Hands it, throws high to first but he's out.
So two down here in the seventh and that'll bring Mike Andrews to the plate.
Andrews has two of the five hits. He got a single in the third and then Karam the double off of Joe Harlan's foot in the fifth.
Two down here in the bottom half of the seventh inning of play. Ward even with a sack at third base.
The rest of the infield is backed up as the right hander delivers a fastball on the inside corner right below the letters.
D-Wrek one.
Oh and one the count on the batter, Mike Andrews. Harlan delivers a curveball, soft liner right to the cross, side retired.
Three up and three down. At the end of the seventh the score is the White Sox four and Boston one.
Today is truly the era of the specialists. You're likely to need one for all sorts of things from replacing a picture tube to installing a heating system.
And the folks at General Finance know there's one time for sure when you can use a specialist's help and that's when you want to borrow money for unexpected medical bills for that much needed family vacation.
Whenever you need cash, let friendly Bob Adams and General Finance's team of loan by phone specialists step in and help with a loan from twenty five dollars on up to five thousand dollars.
And all it takes is a call to Bob Adams at General Finance. That number is and over three two oh two oh.
And then whenever you stop by at your convenience at any one of the fifty General Finance offices in Chicongoland, your money will be ready and with.
Remember the number is and over three two oh two oh.
Dan Ossensky, a right hander, comes in to do the pitching for the Boston Red Sox. Ossensky comes on and to do the catching will have Mike Ryan.
We're in the eighth inning of play. The White Sox lead in the ballgame by a score of four to one.
Ossensky makes his home in Chicago. This is the 30th appearance of the year. He has won three and lost one. He's worked fifty six innings and given up fifty three hits.
In the home run ball department, he's given up four. He has a fine earned run average of two point three nine.
So Dan Ossensky has come on at the end of seven. The White Sox four and Boston.
Dan Ossensky taking his warm up tosses. Dalton Jones is catching him at the present time because Mike Ryan hasn't come out yet.
Now he's coming out.
Now the catcher comes out to warm him up.
Defensively, let's go around the infield again. George Scott at first, Mike Andrews at second, Rico Petracelli the shortstop, Jerry Adair at third, and left field Carl Yastremski, center field Reggie Smith, and in right field Kenny Harrelson.
It will be Colavito, McCraw, and Martin in that order to face right hander Dan Ossensky.
Rocky Colavito stepping up to the plate here at Fenway Park.
Rocky has a double scoring a run. He also scored. He's singled and he's struck out.
Dan Ossensky working here in the eighth in relief of Jim Lomborg. Pitch is high and outside. Four to one White Sox lead.
Right hander delivers again a bouncing ball one hopper off the glove of the pitcher. He picks it up, throws high to first but gets him.
Some of the fans went oh and ah as that throw to first was a little high but in time.
Tommy McCraw comes up to the plate now. Tommy got a two run single in the first and bounced out twice to the second baseman.
He is one for three but he has two runs batted in and he takes one good one on the inside corner. He right calls.
Oh and one to count on Tommy. Martin on deck. A change up into the dirt one and one.
Mike Ryan is now doing the catching in place of Elston Howard.
Ken Barry is loosening up out of the bullpen loosening his arm up out there.
Here comes the pitch a swing and a miss. Right two. Boy you talk about taking a cut. Tommy McCraw really did.
One ball and two strikes.
The pitcher delivers outside two and two. Cotton Nash is also loosening up his arm in the bullpen.
Dave Morehead who's there's a swing and a drive to center Reggie Smith comes on a few feet he's got it. Boy Tommy hit that one right on the line.
Dave Morehead is loosening up in the bullpen for Boston.
J.C. Martin who is over to line the first drew an intentional walk and popped up the first. Ron Hanson will come out into the on deck circle.
So J.C. Martin coming on.
There's a swing and a base hit up the alley and right center going through. Martin's got himself a double.
He goes into second standing up and now he's going on to third the throw coming down. He flies he's in there safely.
The ball got through Mike Andrew. Pepper Sully picked it up and fired a third and that is heads up baseball running by J.C. Martin.
It's a two base hit and they give an error to the right fielder Kenny Harrelson on the throw in and I can't see how they're giving an error to him.
It went right through there's a cutoff man.
And the cutoff man let it go through.
So that is a double in right center for J.C. Martin and they gave an error on Kenny Harrelson.
Ron Hanson the batter with J.C. Martin on a third base.
Right hander Dan O. Sinskey with two down delivers to Hanson and he takes it outside.
Here's a final score. Philadelphia rallied to beat the Giants 24 to 13 and the pitch outside 2 and 0 on Ron Hanson on deck is Joe Harlan.
Connors is pitching for the Mets in the second game against Kalmas for the Cubs.
2 and 0 on Hanson as O. Sinskey delivers low 3 and 0.
Three balls no strikes. They're going to put him on now intentionally on the last one.
So now that'll bring it up to Joe Harlan to come up to the plate and get a piece of that ball and Walt Williams walks up behind him to give him a little encouragement.
Here comes Joe Harlan and the fans here at Fenway Park giving Joe a good hand as he steps up to the plate.
Mixed with a few boos but quite a few people giving him a hand.
Runners take their leads with Harlan the batter.
O. Sinskey to the waste. Here's the pitch. A swing and a one hopper back to the mound. O. Sinskey has throws got him. Retires the side.
So in the inning no runs, one hit, one miscue and two men left the board. At the end of seven and a half innings of play the score in the ballgame the White Sox 4 and Boston 1.
