Red Sox to Play 18 Home Tilts in June Strive for First Half Rally

The Red Sox plant an 18 game home stand at Fenway Park as they chase a return to the first division in the 1954 American League race. Boston, 11-42 behind, has won three straight and hopes Ted Williams and a strengthened lineup spark a late surge after a spring of injuries and poor weather. Meanwhile, the league showcases a Memorial Day doubleheader sweep by Boston, strong hits from Milt Bolling, Williams, Piersall and Agganis, and notable results across the circuit as standings shift with Chicago, Cleveland, and Washington in pursuit. The page also notes a dramatic 500 mile Indianapolis victory by Bill Vukovich with record time and prize potential.
