Red Sox New Star Murrell Jones Bonks and Brings Win
Murrell Jones, the 26 year old first baseman from Epps Alabama, debuted with Boston by homering in his first game and added a late grand slam in the ninth to seal an 8 6 victory. The Red Sox moved into a second place tie with Detroit, one game behind the Yankees who swept St Louis. The Giants and Cubs split a doubleheader as the National League leaders shifted. In golf, Lew Worsham captured the U S Open after Sam Snead misfired on a pivotal 30 12 inch putt and a tape measure confirmed the outcome. The 29 year old from Washington DC earned 2500 dollars with a potential 20000 in later rewards.
