Dodgers, Yanks Hold To Major League Leads By UNITED PRESS Tradition never batted in a run or caught a fly, but it convinced many fans today that the Dodgers and the Yankees will play in the World Series. They led their leagues, though not too comfortably, after July 4. Tradition dictates they will win their pennants. The Yankees stayed 2% games in front of the American league when they swept to 9-4 and 4-3 Victories at Washington, while the Dodgers went three games in front of the Giants by behtlng them 5 to 1 in eight innings, their second game rained out. - In (he American league the July 4 leader has gone on to win the flag in 35 but of 51 years. However, last year Brooklyn led the National by 6% games on July 4. increased the margin to 13%, then- blew the flag in a play-off to the Giants. In the American league the White Sox were in front hy half a game on July 4, but didn’t stick it out quite so long. They lost the lead the next day. The Cards took over third in the National witfi 13 to 7 and 4 to 1 w'ins over the Cubs, while the Braves topped the Phils, 2 to 1 and 3 to 2, and the Pirates defeated the .Reds, 4 to 1 and 5 to 2.

T]he White Sox stayed in second place with 3 to 1 and 2 to 0 victories over the Browns and the Indians topped the Tigers, 11 to 0 and 10 to 1. Boston beat Philadelphia, 10 to 5, then lost, 4 tb 3. i St. Louis made 16 hits including a grand slam homer by Hal Rice and a two run blast by Dick Sisler in the opener, six-hit pitching by Gerry Staley won the second game. It was Staley’s 11th victory and he missed a shutout only because of Gene Hermanski’s homer. Rookie Ed Mathews hits His 14th homer to give Boston an 11-inning first game triumph while Sam Jethroe scored the winning run from second oii an error by shorts \stop Granny Hamner in the nightcap at Boston. The Braves totaled only five hits in each game. Rookie Dick Groat’s \two run single gave Pittsburgh first victory in the ninth. In the second game the Bucs came from behind, scoring the winning run in the seventh on a tall fly by Ralph Kiner. Chicago scored three runs in the seventh on a triple by Nellie Fox, doubles by Minnie Minoso and Ed Stewart and a single by Hec Rodriguez to give reliever Bill Kennedy a tw-ohit opening triumph. A triple by Minoso scored one run and a fly by Sam Mele delivered Minoso with the other in the second game in which Saul Rogovin pitched seven-hit ball to win his seventh game. Two hit pitching by Early Wynn, followed by Bob Lemon’s five-hit-ter, made it unnecessary for Cleveland hitters to break loose as they did. Yet they produced 14 hits in the opener and 13 in the second game. Jim Fridley, Merrill Combs, Harry Siinpson, Larry Doby, and Joe Tipton hit homers. Tipton’s came with the bases loaded.
