Indians Down Tigers, 12th Straight Win New York, Aug.'.l^— (UP) —A serious rap against ihe currents irresistible Indians Is that they are the worst club in the majors at making > the double play, but their 12-game winning streak was intact today because of key twinkillings in succession in an extra inning ball game. They said when the veteran second baseman Joe "Gordon retired to the /coast league- and manager Lou Boudreau, his short: etop partner, departed to the Boston Red Sox that the lost the heart of their ball club. And it seemed to add Up, even though both long had passed their peak and were not a peerles? defensive combination any Ajore. Because their successors at the cid-way, second baseman Bobby mid-why, second baseman Bobby just couldnlt make those twinkillings. ! The latest official averages revealed Cleveland with only 90 double plays for the season, 11 less ♦ han Washington, the next poorest club in the American league, and nine worse than I Cincinnati, wfiich was at the bottom in the National. By contrast, \the pacesetting Dodgers in the National hid completed 137 double plays end the Yankees had 133 in the American. The seventh place Athletics were tops for both circuits with 145. .But as it goes with hot ball clubs, the Indians suddenly came up witl those “two-for-one” shots when it mattered the most, In their last four games they came up with five of them and the two yesterday were the most important of / the j ear. The Indians Subdued the Tigers. 6 to 5 in 10 innings when Jim Hegan hammered a single to drive in rookie Harry Simpson who had walked and stolen second, with the winning run. But before that the Tigers had threatened in fluninth and again in the Iffth, only to have the Boone-Avila midway combination cut off both ( rallies with double plays. The Indians still have only 95 double plays, the only club in the majors still under 100, but they made them lately when it counted. Boone and Simpson |»omered earlier for the Indians while Vic Wertz and Dick Kryhoski hit Detroit' homers. Reliever Lou Brissie was the victor. The Yankees managed to stay 2% games behind the Indians when they tbpped the Senators, 6 to 3. with a three run rally in the ninth on a single by winning reliever Bob Kuzava, and a two-run double by Phil Rizzuto. The Senahad tied the score in the eighth at 3-all with four successive singles by Mike Guerra, Cass Michaels, Eddie Yost and Pete Runnels. An ominous note as far as the pitcher-thin Yankees were concerned was that rookie star Tom Morgan had to leave the game in the sixth with a sore fore-arm after holding; Washington fto but

In the only other American league game, the Red Sox stayed 5% games behind the pace-setting Indians and 3 games behind the second place Yankees with a 7 to 4 triumph at Philadelphia in which Ted Williams hit two homers and the Boston infield completed the season’s second triple play.
