Yankees Launch Crucial Series With Red Sox New York, Aug 9. — (UP) — A combination of bean bills and I eantown today edged the New York Yankees Into a week of deeltion in the evertightening American league rare. The Yanka launch a three game series with the red hot Red Sox in Boston tonight, and they do so minus the services of slugging catcher Yogi Berra and the old reliable Tommy Henrich Both were the victims of crude frustration on the part of oft-hit St. Louis Brown pitchers Sunday, leaving Berra out for three weeks and Henrich a question mark until further xrays today. Both injuries came from pitched balls. Yankee manager Casey Stengel. ; knowing well how scanty his five and a half game lead could be with the newest arnica crisis, glumly said, "those Injuries could cost us the pennant " And he was quite ' right, for here are the Red Sox and next come the Philadelphia Athletics in this week's schedule The Sox get to tee off on Washington after the Yankees leave Boston, while second-place Cleveland meets first the hapless Browns and then the White Sox this week. Boston's phenomenal comeback surge was touched off. oddly i enough, by double losses to the Yankees in New York on July 4. Those games appeared to signal the demise of the Boaox pennant hopes, but Instead they became the jumping off point for a rally which has produced 25 victories In 33 games. What’s more, the pitching—Boston's major tragedy In the first of the season—has emerged from the sorry to the sublime .Mel Parnell has won six of seven since July 4. Maury McDermott three of five. Kilis Kinder five of six. Joe Dobson four of four and Chuck , Stubbs four of five. The Yanks, meanwhile, have' kept their lead, but in a faltering ! fashion Vic Raschi pitches against the Sox tonight seeking for the fourth time his 16th victory of the season. He won no. IS July 21 | against Cleveland and then lost to Cleveland. Chicago and Detroit. He will be opposed by Kinder, whose record is a little deceptivethe wins are against second-divi-sion clubs.
