' r Yanks, Bosox I Win To Keep ) Hopes Alive I New York. Oct. 1 (t'P) —The Cleveland Ind ans. standing on the brink of glory, sent 20-zame-winner Boh Lemon against Detroit today Io clinch at least a tie for the American leagu** pennant. A victory would do it. The tribe went into the tilt one and a half games ahead of the idle Red Sox and Yankees with three to go. A Detroit loss would make the count two ahead with two to go. With that delectable thought in mind, young Mr. Lemon was set to oppose either Virgil Trucks or Fred Hutchinson, probably Trucks, at Municipal Stadium The Red Sox kept their scant hopes alive yesterday with a 7-3 victory over Washington at Boston, while the Yank* squeaked by the Athletic* at Philadelphia. 9-7 A blasting 15-blt attack carried Boston to triumph Thirteen of the hits and all seven runs came in the first five innings as lefty Mel Parnell racked up his 15th win of the year. Dorn Dimaggio and Johnny Pesky I set the pace with three hits each The Sox scored twice in the second and five times in the fifth. The Yanks Girted with heart failure in their finale at Philadel ph.a. For the second day in a row. the bases were loaded with A's when the game ended. The Yanks had s’arted well, with two run* in the first, four in the second, two ; in the fourth and one in the fifth But. trailing 9-3 alter the seventh, Philadelphia stored three runs in the eighth and then one in the | ninth before the Yank-t choked off ! the harrowing rally. I Eddie l.opat won the game on 1 the mound for the Yanks, but first 1 Spec Shea and then Vic Hase hi 1 had to come in during the ninth I Philadelphia used four pitchers, 1 with staiter Joe Coleman getting charged with the defeat although he never got past the second in- [ tting The Boston Braves, who'll meet the American league champs in the world series, were rained out
