Yankees today. \ As the American league race reached its most furious pitch in a three game series between the pace-setters beginning this afternoon in Cleveland, the Indians had to be the best het to win any close ones. Thus tar, cieveiana na» won seven out of eight extra inning games, while the Yankees have lost three '' of the four overtime games they played. The pattern the teams set yesterday was the same they have followed all season. Cleveland, coming brilliantly from behind, won a 14-inning, 6 to 5 victory from on Bobby Avila’s game-breaking homer. But sor 4 the Yankees it was a sadder story. The supposedly pres-sure-tested champs, off to a fourrun lead in the first inning, gradually let Detroit pull even, then blew the duke in the 12th when Johnny Groth lined a hit to right with two on to give the Tigers a 7 to 6 win. v , The Indians thus went into the big series with a two-game lead. MoreJVer, in the "futile Yankee bid for victory in Detrot, they used up two of /heir best pitchers, Tom Morgan and Allie Reynolds, in relief. 1 Morgan who had .pitched seven innings of hitless relief ball, blew up in the eighth when Dick Kryhoski doubled and George Kell was safe on an error by Phil Rlzzuto. Pat Mullin hit a homer to tie the score at 6-6 and send the game into extra ijinings. Reynolds was the victim of the final uprising. • Cleveland, on the other hand, trailed 5-2 until the seventh when Dale Mitchell blasted his lUUi homer with two on to tie the score. Steve Gromek, who pitched threehit scoreless relief ball for seven innings, gained his sixth victory, j Earlier, Luke Easter hit a homer for the/Indians. The Red Sox beat the Browns, 3 to 1. in 13 and the A’s swept a twi-light j twin bill from the White'Sox, 5 to 2, and 8 to 1. Brooklyix won pair of 1 (Winning struggles from the Cardinals. 4 to 3. and 8 to 7 to go eight games ahead of the Giants In the National

league. The Giants, running their winning streak to 11 games topped the Reds, 4 to 3, while the Phillies blanked the Cubs, 4 to 0 and Boston .edged Pittsburgh, 5 to 4 in 10 innings. I The Dodgers maintained their in-; credible mastery over the Card!- 1 nals as reliefer Clyde King was credited with both triumphs to give him a 14-5 mark for the season. Brooklyn now has 14 straight wins over St. Louis and 16 out of 18 for the season, assuring the best year in history against St. Louis. The previous high in Dodger victories over St. Louis in a season was 15. Gil Hodges smacked a single to drive in the winning run in the afternoon opener, while in the night contest, Jackie Robinson drilled -a hit down the Test field line, his fifth of the game to break it up. He also got two hits in the \afternoon game. The Dodgers came from behind to score three runs in the ninth and send the second game into extra innings. A run in the eighth of the opener, deadlocked that one. Stan Musial drove in all the St. Louis runs with a homer and double. For the third straight game the irrepressible Giants roared from | behind to win. Whitey Lockman' supplied the winning run with a double in the eigihth after the Giants tied the score off Ewell Blackwell with two in the seventh. The Braves got their winning run in the 10th against Pirates when Sibby Sistl dashed home from third on Bill Werle's wild pitch. Ralph Kiner took over the major-league lead in homers by hitting his ’3sth. Robin Roberts pitched a fivehitter for the Phils for his 17th victory, as his*mates backed him up with a 10-hit attac|. The Red Sox got their pair of winning runs in the 13th inning when Brownie f Tommy Byrne issued his. 15th and 16th walks of the game with the bases loaded. Leo Kiely got the win. Gus Zernial smashed t*o homers to lead the A’s to their sweep jof the White Sox and take ovtet the American league lead with 27. Bob Hooper won'the ope'rier and Sam Zoldak the second.

Maxim Scores Upset Win To Retain Crown ’New York, Aiig. 23. —(UP) —Joey Maxim, the apparently lusterless light heavyweight champion whose boxing “brilliance suddenly halfblinded challenger Bob Murphy, was ready today- to defend soon against whoever can assure us the most money.” The black-haired, glittery-eyed Italian from Cleveland was practically unmarked after his upset decision over southpaw Murphy bef0re,9.525 at Madison SquAYe Garden last night. ' ( 1 And he faced the world with such new confidence, after his first defense of the 175-pound (Town, that he was willing to tackle any oLthe three prominent challengers: Don Cockell of England, Bob Satterfield of Chicago and Harry - (Kid) Mattheiws of Seattle. \Manager Jack Kearns said, we favor no one.” But it was apparent from hlis pre-fight negotiations that he leaned toward a Sept. 25th fight with Cockell at London. Maxim went into the ring a 13-5 underdog last night for his first defense against red-haired Murphy of San Diego, Calif.. Iwho had knocked out 55 of his 65 professional opponents. I -If ; Last night, at 173-14 pounds, Maxim was a genuine champion, as he gave Murphy one of the worst beatings of his career. His lightning left jabs had the ex-sailor's right eye completely closed by the eighth round. Murphy, 174-14 pounds, started off a* if certain of adding Maxim to his kayo victims when he gave the champion a body-beating In the first round and knocked him Info the ropes, with a left hook and brought blood to Joey's nose. But then Maxi|m took command with his left jabs and solid right uppercuts and straight lights. He staggered Murphy in the fourth, eighth, 10th and 11th rounds. |n the 12th he handled Murphy like> baby—bydy bumping him to the canvas once and later shoving hijn half-way across the ring into the ropes. Murphy won only the first, sixth and 14th rounds and broke even In the seventh on the United Preas score sheet. Referee Ruby Goldstein favored Maxim 10-3-2; but judgep Charley Shorten and Harold Barnes voted In unison: 10 for
