There was a standup gathering of 66 265 on handLopat now has beaten the Indians 30 times against only six defeats in his American league career. The last time they won from him was on June 17, 1919., “It sure has me baffled why I should have any bster luck against • Cleveland than any - other club,” he said?’- ■ I Ixxpat’s left-handed -legerdemain now has given him a mark of six straight victories, tops for the majors this season, and a terrific earned run average of 1.17. And he used to he considered strictly a hot-weather pitcher, a purler who loosen up before'the warm ''days. 1 4 Lopat received felegant 32-hit support from the Yankees. who went 2'4 games in front in the American league race . since second place Washington dropped an 8 to 7 11inning decision to Boston/\in ths Only other major league game played. t : The Red Sox received top-flight relief pitching from Harry Taylor who Wanked Washington for 4% innings .before Gil Coan dropped a pop fly by Matt Batts for a. twobase error tbat sent home the winning run in the llth- .

The appeal came from federal mediation director Cyrus S. Ching yesterday, the last day of a 10-day “coolihg off” period requested by Governor Schricker.
