PHILADELPHIA (AP) Manager Paul
Richards of the Chicago White Sox received
word Friday morning from Chicago of thedeath of his six-year-old
daughter Lou Redith.
Richards was notified just before he was to
board a train for Washington with his team. He
designated coach Roger Cramer to direct the
team in his absence.
It was understood the little girl had been ill
for some time. The Richards have one other
daughter, Paula, who is 12 years old.
Funeral services for Lou Redith will be held
in Richards home town, Waxahachie, Tex.
The Ottawa County draft board flatly con-
tradicted the Selective Service headquarters
assertion that Mickey Mantles order to take a
special physical examination was a local order.
Mantle has been directed to report to Okla-
homa City on Aug. 20 for his third physical.He was classified
4-F in December 1950, and
again last April.
The examination at Tulsa was not our
idea, explained local board secretary Joe
Payton. We certainly did not order the exami-
nation this time. The request came from na-
tional headquarters in Washington and chan-
neled through Oklahoma City.

Chicagos Sweet-Swinging Sox
Batter Senators in 9-8 VictoryWASHINGTON The White Sox havebeen
known as the Hitless Wonders since
1906. It may be time to retire the moniker.
So spoke the bats of the second-place
Southsiders on Friday night as they outslugged
the Senators, 9-8.
The win was Chicagos seventh in a row,
tying its season high.
Hitless? These White Sox lead the loop with
a .282 team batting average and are second
with 566 runs scored. They needed every bit of
their offensive moxie to hold the Nats at bay.
Chicago bolted to a 7-0 lead after 3 in-
nings. But starting pitcher Saul Rogovin sur-
rendered three runs in both the fourth and
sixth, and a single run in the seventh. ThoughRogovin (8-6) won
his third consecutive start,
he coughed up seven runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Luis Aloma navigated the final 2 2/3 in-
nings for his second save. Right fielder Al
Zarilla, who finished with three RBI, singled
home an insurance run in the sixth, and Nellie
Fox swatted a solo homer in the seventh.
Senators starter Sid Hudson (5-7) was
knocked out in the second after allowing five
runs. He is 1-5 with an 8.01 ERA since being
selected for the American League All-Star
team on July 2.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the American League:
A stiff arm drove Bostons Mickey McDer-
mott from a no-hit bid last Saturday. Friday hefollowed with
another impeccable effort.
McDermott equaled a career high with 11
strikeouts as he hurled a seven-hit shutout in a
6-0 win over the visiting Tigers.
It was the third whitewash of the season for
McDermott (8-3), who was forced to leave his
last start after five hitless innings. The loop-
leading Red Sox are 18-1 in their past 19
games.
Vern Stephens continued his tear for Boston
with a double, homer and three RBI. He has five
homers and 19 RBI in his past five games.
Detroits Dizzy Trout (10-9) allowed five runs
in 6 1/3 innings and took the loss.
Hank Bauer walked to force in the winning
run in the first game, and the host Yankees
stranded two runners on base at the end of the
second as New York split with St. Louis.
Bauers walk capped a 6-5 victory in the
opener. Winner Vic Raschi (13-4) logged his
eighth complete game.
Jim McDonald (1-1) wiggled out of a ninth-
inning jam for a 5-4 Browns win in the nightcap.
Gus Zernial poled his A.L.-high 27th homerun as the As downed
the visiting Indians, 7-2.
Sam Zoldak (5-4) hurled a six-hitter for Phila-
delphia. Cleveland starter Mike Garcia (9-10)
took the loss, his fourth in a row.
Larry Doby cracked a pair of solo homers
his 19th and 20thfor the Tribe.

AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the National League:Preacher Roe scattered 10 hits,

Baseball Fans WantMac as Commissioner
THIS

SCORES
ST. LOUISAsk Sal Maglie what he enjoys
most about his return to the major leagues, and
hes likely to reply, The Cardinals.
Maglie beat St. Louis with a six-hitter Friday
night as the Giants extended their season-best
win streak to seven games with a 4-2 victory.
The Barber has made a habit of tormenting
the Redbirds since his four-year ban from organ-ized baseball as
punishment for jumping to the
Mexican League. In nine games against the
Cards over the past two seasons, he is 4-0 with a
2.79 ERA, a save, a shutout and, earlier this sea-
son, a two-hitter.
Maglie (13-8) trailed 1-0 after five innings
Friday. But the Giants rallied for three runs in
the sixth, two coming on two-out singles by
COMMISSIONER, Page 2
By George Gallup
Dir., American Institute of Public Opinion
Attention, members of baseballs executive
committee looking for a commissioner: If you
take the advice of fans you neednt look any
further than the man who has been showing up
at ball parks so often in recent weeks Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.
The general is the top choice among ball
fans questioned, with James A. Farley, former
postmaster-general, and Ford Frick, National
League president, placing second and third re-
spectively.
With organized baseball operating without a
commissioner since July 16 when A.B. Chan-
dlers resignation became effective, reporters
for the Institute took the vacancy problem to
the baseball public. When a representative
cross-section of voters from coast-to-coast
were questioned, more than one out of every
three people (37 percent) said they followed
major league baseball.
These fans were asked:
As you know, a new baseball commissioner
will have to be chosen to take Happy Chan-
dlers place. Whom would you like to see
named to fill this position as baseball commis-
sioner?
