Yanks Add To League Lead, Beat Indians New York, June 2 — (UP) — Yankee stadium, the huge pincersshaped baseball palace that lias ChUght many a pitcher in its grip, would be just tiie place to win an American league pennant, manager Joe McCarthy of the Bronx Bombers reasoned today— If only his team could stay just there. The Yankees at home are more menacing than a pyromaniac in a match factory, but the same opposition which trembles at the thought of facing them here lias little fear of them on the road. Coming home after a sorry road trip in which they won only ttfb out of eight games against die western clubs, they did an Immediate about-face and picked tip 10 victories in 12 starts, starting off their stand with an eightgame winning streak. Detroit . was the only club to cause the Yankees trouble on their home diamond, picking up two victories in a series of three, fitit New York got back in stride against new opposition yesterday and defeated the Cleveland In(iltlhs, 9 to 2. 'the Yankee record at home to date is 16 won and four lost, a jifehnant winning pace in any circuit. The only catch is that on the road, including appearances against the so called weaker feftstern teams, they have won seven and dropped nine. Against two Cleveland pitchers they made 14 hits good for 22 bases, making it a simple matter set Floyd Bevens to win his fourth game against one defeat, a neat five hit job. That enabled him to equal his 1944 record of 4-1, which he established after coming up late in the season from Newark. Two “free runs,” forced in on walks with the bases loaded, gave the Boston Red Sox a 6 to 4 victory over Detroit. Emmett O’Neill, Red Sox pitcher, assured his victory with a three-run homer to pace the winners. Sigmund Jakucki turned in his best effort of the season, blanking the Athletics at Philadelphia for a 4 to o Brown victory. Rookie pitcher Walt Ilolborow walked in the winning run in the 11th at Washington to give the White Sox an 11 to 9 victory. Frank McCormick's three-run hntper broke up a 13 inning marathon with a 6 to 3 victory for the Reds over the Dodgers at Cincinnati. Pittsburgh, helped by five errors of the sieve-like Philadelphia defense, beat the Phillies, 6 to 5. The Cards rallied in the ninth to hand streaky Bill Voiselle of the Giants his third straight loss, 4 to 3. at St. Louis. Voiselle had won eight in a row prior to his defeats.
