Joe DiMaggio To Return To Lineup Today \New York, July 24. — (Up/— Joe oiMaggio returns to the lineup for the first time in two weeks when the Yankees meet the Indians today in a resumption of the tense American league pennant fight. The Yankees protect a \tiny .002 lead as they and the Red' Sox begin a home stand while the western contenders, the White Sox and the Indians, begin barnstorming. The White Sox, sporting a shakenup lineup, play the Red Sox in Boston while the Indians and Yanks vie here in; three games. Then t Friday the clubs swap opponents. The Yanks play the While Sox and the Indians play the Red Sox. The Yanks left home two weeks ago with the league lead, They returned with the lead', but in between was a harrowing see-saw. The club started the tqur with three losses to Boston, ahd after them DiMaggio left the lineup, partly because of a leg injury and partly because of poor hitting. The Yanks lost only five more games and won eight after the Beantown bashing to wind up eight and eight on the road. DiMaggio will return to his old Nor" 4 spot in the batting order — unless he suddenly feels he can’t make the grade after the pre-game warmup.' Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer and Gene Woodling all have tried to bat'there since the Clipper was benched, and none of them made the grade, t DiMaggio still must show some hitting after he crashes the lineup. His .261 batting average doesn’t go with his reputation. The White Sox finished a woeful home stand with a record 1 of 10 defeats in 14 games, and so decided on a shakeup before going at the Red Sox tonight. Bert Haas plajfs first, Orestes Minoso, plays third. Don Lenhardt left field and Al Zarilla right field under the new plan. The fifth place Tigers play the Senators in the only other American league game scheduled tonight, while the Dodgers carried their eight and a half game National league lead into Chicago to start a western tour. The Giants are at Pittsburgh, the Phils at St. Louis and the Braves at Cincinnati in other National league games. There was only one game played in the v.ajors fest night—but that was enough. It took 32. bits and 10 pitchers for tfee Braves to outlast the Pirates, 15 io 14. in the highest scoring clash of the season. / The Braves got 22 of the hits including five by Willard Marshall and four by Sam JethrOe. There were (our homers —Ralph Kiner's 25th, Walker Cooper’s, 10th, Joe Garagipla’s sixth and Earl Torgeson’s 14th. Thirteen runs were scored in the first inning alone when Boston took a 7-6 lead. With the score tied at 11-11,' George Strickland's, threerun triple in th£ sixth sent Pittsburgh uhead The. Braves tied it at 14-14 in the seventh on Roy Hartsfield's single. Jethroe’s triple and Torgeson’s hoiner. Then Hartsfield singled home the winning run in the eighth after losing pitcher Vern
