BOSTON RED SOX
TRIM WHITE SOX
Romp To Easy 9 To 2 Victory;
14 Chicago Players Banished
BOSTON, July 19. -(AP)- The
Red Sox romped to an easy 9 to
2 victory over the White Sox Fri-
day in a wild game that saw 14
Chicago players banished for
heckling an umpire's warning aft-
er a dust off" pitch to Ted
Williams.
Boston's
win stretched their
lead over the idle New York
Yankees to 11 1-2 games.
Williams was forced to drop to
the ground to escape a fast ball
coming close to his head by Chi-
cago pitcher Joe Haynes in the
third inning, leading umpire-in-
chief "Red" Jones
to
caution
Haynes.
A
chorus of yammering from
the
Chicago bench resulted in
Jones
ordering the White Sox
players from the bench.
