YANKEES OPEN SERIES TODAY WITH INDIANS Yanks leading By Five Games; DiMaggio Hits Again N«« York. July !«.— (UR) -The Fourth of July may be the traditional turning point in the major league pennant races, but. m far a* the New York Yankee* and Clevelanu inntan* are concerned, possession of the IHA I American league flag may be decided In the three-gam* aerie* which begin* In Cleveland today.

The Yankee* still would lead by two games if the Indian* were to win all three, an imllkely development. Unlikely because In 10 meeting* with the New Yorker* this season, the Indiana have won only three. Two of those victories were turned In by Feller and the other by Mel Harder, who hasn't essayed a starting job since June 24. A 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Hol yesterday enabled the Yauks to pick up a full game on the Indians, who hint to the Boston Red Hom. < 4 Ruddy Rosar's triple with the bases loaded featured a four-run rally in the third.

One so-called “crucial seriea" usually la enoUgh to raise the temperature of the fans, but today, ladlea and gentlemen, the major lea Sues present four crucial series, involving nothing but flrnt division teams. Read ’em and cheer; Yankees vs. Indiana at Cleveland White Sox vs. Red Sox at Chicago. Cardinals vs. Dodgers at Brooklyn. Iteda vs. Giants at New York. If called upon to select the most crucial of the four crucial series, we would say It would be the two involving the boy* from Ohio the Indiana and the Iteda, It’s pretty much how now or never for both teams. That is particularly true of the Indiana, who are going to have to stop the rush of the Yankees soon or reconcile themselves to second place, with the Reds. it's a question of beginning to make up ground In-fore the Dodgers and t'ardhtab- get too far out in front. Here is the way the eight first division teams look to this observer as they head toward the stretch run through August and Heptcmber: Yankees: Riding the crest right now. but due for a elump.

Indians: Htill potentially the best team in the American league lla* hung on the fast pace of the Y'ankeen well and still has a great < bailee for the pennant If somebody can be found to help Bob Feller with the pitching. Red Hox: Cdulo cause tot* of trouble down the *tretch If some cou*l*ient pitching could be harnesaed to that terrific attack. Probably finish third. White Hox: Bad on paper, good on the Held The team haatl't the natural ability neceeaary to whi pennanta. but when Jlmtny Dyke* get* them rolling they can cause lot* of headac hes for the leader*. Dodgera: Rough, tough club with power, pitching and balance. Will be fighting for the pennant right down to the wire and lairry MacPhail’s check hook will be out and working If uecesnary. Cardinals: Faat club. *warining with good young pitchers and boasting a lineup studded with .300 hitters. Team has a reputation for getting hot during the last six week* of the aeaaon. If they du It this year, they will win the pennant.

Reds: Have got to come to Use quickly or they're through. Team Isn't hitting, but if eome of the other pitchers would round Into form to help Ducky Walters and Elmer Riddle, the Reda could win a lot of ball games by one and two runs. Gians: Probably will fold In August. Team really belongs In fifth or sixth place and probably will be passed by the flying Pirates. U. S. 8.
