Aug. 6.—(UP) — . Freshman manager Al Lopez of - the Cleveland Indians, isn’t as out ‘ i spoken as his predecessor, Lou ! Boudreau. But he still thinks his ; team will win the pennant. > Barring injuries, particularly to r Larry Doby and Luke Easter who - have operated on half power about s’ half thO season, Lopez believes - the Indians will come home in i front. He sized things up after the . Indians completed their most • successful road trip since Bou-i I dreau’s world championship year i of 1948 yesterday, by defeating the • Athletics. 6-3. 6-3, as-. Bob Lemon i end Early Wynn pitched behind timely hittin gsupport. i That gave the Indians a record • < f 10-4 through the east. The i third swing through the badlands in 1948. by Boudreau’s club ended 1 with an 8-3 won and lost record. ' At that time Boudreau said withcut qualification “we’re definitely going to win because we're the best team.” He had to prove it by heating the Red Sox in an historic ! nlayoff game -in a mad stretch • tattle. LopeZ, more conservative, realizes that if either of his negro sluggers gets hurt again he could bq, in all sorts of trouble. But he 1 also emphasizes that, for the first time this year, the whole'club is, intact with no players out because ■ of injuries. Lemon won his 12th game yesterday as Al Rosen hit his 17th Vomer and added a -double and single. Dale Mitchell also collected three hits; In the second game Wynn gave up just five hits to gain his 11th triumph as his mates i iled up a 4-0 lead .in two innings - and then coasted. Meanwhile, the Yankees stayed half a game in front by toppingj lrhe Browns, 6to 2 and 4 t 0,3. Ed I-opat pitched five-hit ball to win! his 14th game'in the opener and* Allie Reynolds struck out 13 bat- , ters-—tops for a nine-inning gace (in the American league this seson j— to gain the second triumph. t I The Tigers upset the third place ! Red Sox tjwdce, 3to 1 and 8, to 5 to put them 3% games 6ff the pace while the still-in-there W’hite Sox edged Washington, 6 to 5 to stay seven games behind. In the National \ league, tne pace-setting Dodgers defeated, the Reds, 9 to 8 and 2 to 0, while Bubba Church of the Phillies ’ itched a to down the Pirates, 5 to ‘l, after which the Phillies won the second game 12 to <■ on 16 Mts. The Giants dropped 9% games behind Brooklyn in second place although they Won, s to 4 from the Cardinals as\ rookie Al Corwin won his "second game, • end the Braves topped the Cubs, 1 to 4 and 4 to 3. Detroit put over late rallies in the seventh innings of both games to win. In the opener, doubles by Johnny Groth and Don Kolloway and a triple by Joe Ginsberg gave the Tigers two-runs and a peimanent lead. In the second game Ginsberg , tripled again for two > uns in the seventh as Detroit put across three runs. Lou Krfetlow. who never has
