Righthander Newcombe of Brooklyn has won 12 games and lost four this season but clinch the National job before the expected at Briggs Stadium. ’! \ Stengel’s phoice of a starter appeared more difficult but he figured on either Lopat, who has won 11 and lost Tour, or Garver, the lanky fight hander' of the St. Louis Browns and the hard luck pitcher of the circuit with 11 wins and four defeats on the last place team. , • The rest of the starting lineup for both teams was pat, picked by the fans in a month-lbng vote.

Bosox Sweep Yank Series, Take Second New York, July 9— (UP) — A trade wipd blew the Red Sox into second place in the American league today, one game out of first. It was no great deal when the Sox got Clyde Vollmer from the Senators last year. He was rated just a so-so outfielder, and the Sox took him in a trade simply because his right-handed long-ball hitting might be tailor made for the short Fenway park left field fence. The fruits of that hunch were blooming today, however. Friday, Vollmer batted in two runs with a triple as the Sox beat thetjYankees, 6-2; Saturday he smashed a grand-slam home run as the Sox beat the Yanks, 10-4; and yesterday he completed the series sweep as his two-run homer put the Sox ahead for an eventual. 6-3 win. That upped the Sox to second place, bounced the Yanks down to third and only t|xe failure of a ninth inning Browns’ rally against the White Sox kept the Bostons from going into first. The White Sox needed three pitchers in the ninth to save their 5-4 win. Boston now\has won six straight and 11 of the last 15. j Cleveland, meanwhile, kept only four games out of first with 8-3 and 10-2 wins over Detroit on Larry Doby’s extra-bases barrage, while seven-hitters by Connie Marrero and Sid Hudson gave Washington a 3-1 and 8-2 eweep over the A’s. Brooklyn stepped out eight and a half games in front of the National league race when Jackie Robinson’s 10th inning homer beat the Phils, 6-4, while Sidi Gordon’s 10th inning homer beat the Giants for the Braves. 6-5. The Pirates beat the Cards 6-2. then lost to them, 9-8, while the Cuba and Reds were rained out. The Yankee collapse was the big news, however. \ Vic Raschi was nursing a 3-0 lead with two out in . the fifth when Lou Boudreau homered after Ted Williams’ single,' and in the sixth the Sox went ahead for their ninth win over the Yanks in games when Vollmer homered after Billy Goodman's single. Ray Scarborough won his f(fth for Boston. Chico Carrasuel and Eddie Stewart singled, and Bob Dillinger hit a long fly for the White Sox' winning rum in the eighth, but it took a lense ninth inning to subdue the Browns. \ , Doby hit his 12th and 13th home runs, a triple and a double to drive 4n six runs as the tribe beat the tigers for the 12th and 13th times in 14 games this season.
