For two seasons the Yankees have been a hard lu< k ball club. This year it has been more of the same with shortstop Phil R!zzuto. second baseman George Stirmweiss. and outfielders Tom my Henrich and Charley Keller, In and out of the lineup with various infirmities. But <>n each occasion Harris has been aide to put In either golden boy Brown, his prize utility infielder. or Lindell, his great spare outfielder, and they have been asj good or at times even better than the regulars. Yesterday, when the Yankees won i brilliantly nlaved. I to 0 battle from the Tigers as Vic Raschi scored his sixth straight victory, a 5-hitter, and his second shutout. Keiler went but of the Uneup again with a broken bone i in his left hand. That was a cruel break for Keller, battling to come , back after a serious spinal injury r which threatened to end his ca- > reer last year. Previously, he was cut with a sprained ankle and this I time he will lie laid up a month. But Lindell took over and in the eighth with Raschi on third via a single, a neatly-placed sacrifice bunt by Brown and an infield out, the big Swede from Oakland. Cal, smashed a double that scored the only run of the game. Brown, now subbing for Stlrnwel**. who has a slight concussion, got one of six hits off hard-luck Art Houtteman. who dropped his seventh straight game. Lindell Is batting .34k and Brown Is hitting .339, tops for the club. Cleveland's “white hope" to share the attendance • building chores with Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, finally got his come upnance last night, lemon's scoreless inning st.-eak was snapped at 28 as the Senators squeezed out a 2 to 1 victory at Washington. However, the Athletics lost to the White Sox. 7 to 3, at the same time so Cleveland retained first place in the American league The Browns beat the Red Sox. 3 to 1, In the third A. L. nighter. The Pittsburgh "irate* contributed the third triple play of the major league season last night, but still lost to the Braves. 5 t 1, on Johnny Sain's three-hit pitching Earl Torgeson was on second and Phil Masi on first in the eighth when the triple came. Al Dark plunked a feathery liner to Ed Stevens who caught it for one putoul. stepped on first to catch Masi for the second and threw to Stan Rojek who stepped on sec* ond to get Torgeson for the third out. The Dodgers got their western tour of to a good start with a 5 to 3 conquest of the Cardinals at St. Louts.
