Yankees Take Lead In Tight American Race New York, July 23, —(UP) — The American league took time out to change the scenery in its feverpitched drama today, and that looked like a big break for the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees, heading home for friendly Yankee Stadium, are the new league-leaders by the almost invisible margin of .002 the Red Sox. en route to dbgy Fenway Park, are deadlocked for second with the Cleveland Indians, who must now hit the road—first stop tomorrow at New York. Those standings ire the result of hectic Sunday action which saw the Yanks sweep the St. Louis Browns twice, the Indians doubledrubbed the Philadelphia A’s, and the Red Sox won a single game from Detroit. Meanwhile, the fourth-place Chicagp Whitb Sox continued their skid from glory by losing a doubleheader to the lowly Washington Senatots. 7-6 and 11-5, to stand* two and a half games from the top. The Yankees 9 to 0 and 7 to 3 wins over the Browns gave them a record of eight victories and eight defeats for a road trip that started out to he horrible with six losses In the first.seven games, the Red Sox’ 16-9 victory over Detroit in 10 innings gave thefti their first winning’road trip since 1949 —seven wins land six losses. >. Now it’s up to the Indians to prove they can do as well on the road. The last time the Warriors dragged themselves hom.e from an eastern swing, June 25, ’they were B>Mi games off the pace.j Their recoveryt with- 22 victories jfn the last 27 games, has been miraculous—but now they must it up in the eastern badlands. ■ It was Allie Reynolds who hurled the four-hit shutout for the Yanks in\ their first game yesterday, his 11 th victory and sixth shutout. Ol’ Satchel Paige started against him and pitched no-tiit for 5-16 innings. But his downfall started with Bobby Brown’s three-run homer in the sixth? and the Yanks tagged him for five more runs In the seventh. Jack Kramer, relieving in the second inning and allowing only three hits .through the eighth, won the nightcap for New York when the game Was ended by rain after eight frames. In, this one, the, Yanks ripped old mate Tommy Byrne with two runs in the first, in the fourth, one in the fifth. The Boston Red sox scared twf) runs in the top half of the 10th inning against Detroit when Johnnyv Pesky doubled with the sacks jamn'ied, but the Tigers came roaring back to score and hawe two on with oije out in the last half. Wait Masterion relieved, struck out Vic Wertz and got Hoot Evers pn a foul pop to save the win; for earlier reliefer Bill Wight. Fred Hutchinson was tagged with the loss. Because they won only one game while the Yapks won two, the Sox slipped to seeond. Home runs by Luke Easter and Larry Doby paced the Indians to their 6-4 first-game Win, helping, to pile up a 5-0 lead that enabled Bob Lennon to coast home to his 10th Victory. Steve Gromek hurled Steady, seven-hit ball to. take the nightcap, 3 to 1, driving in the tiebreaking and eventual winning run himself with a seventh-inning single. The White Sox lost the opening game of their twin bill to Washington in the ninth Inning when the Senators broke a 6-6 tie with a run on Mickey Vernon’s walk and Sapi Mele’s double. They didn’t wait so long In the second, when the Senators assured themselves of a four-game series sweep by a sevenrun second inning, After that the Jittery Chisox committed six errors. In the National league, the pacemaking Brooklyn Dodgers stretched their margin to 8-% games as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 9 to 2, to end their home stand with a 6-6 record. Roy Campanella smashed two home runs to lead a 14-hit Dodger assault, while Carl Erskine racked up his 10th win, missing a shutout when Stan Musial hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning. The second>place New York Giants divided a twin bill with the Cincinnati Reds. Ken' Raffensberger pitched a tidy eight-hitter, 7-3, for the Reds in the opener for
