STREAKING SOX SURGE TO WITHIN TWO GAMES OF LEAD

BOSTON- Yesterday at Fenway Park, the hottest team in base ball, the Boston Red Sox, extended their winning streak to an even dozen games by knocking off the St. Louis Browns, 7-4.

Chuck Rose won his twentieth game of the season despite a rough start, in which the Browns tallied twice in the first inning. The key blow was a ringing leadoff double by Roy Hartzell.

Rose settled down quickly, however, and the Boston batters quickly went to work. Pat O'Farrell was in the midst of the rally, as he has been so often lately. O'Farrell singled, moved to third on Ed Konetchy's base hit, and both men raced home when Bill Peterson smashed the ball into the right field corner for a double. Chet Chadbourne followed with another base hit, scoring Peterson.

Boston third sacker Ray Jansen handled his old mates poorly, lashing four hits on the day. The sizzling-hot O'Farrell ripped two more hits, and also worked beleaguered Brownie twirler "Tiny" Leverenz for two bases on balls.

The same two clubs meet today, with Bailey facing Burchell.
