Yankees Take Third In Row From Chicago NEW YORK UP — Maybe it would be better not to “hate the Yankees.’’ — .1 j j The White Sox tried to stir up a feud by saying the dmpires favored the Yankees. General manager Frank Land openly challenged Ijsome decisions: and protests went all the way to league President Will Harridge. Before that general manager Hank Greenberg of the Indians told all of his players tc “hate the Yankees’’ and similar sentiments were voiced throughout the league. Before the White iSox got into the act, they were the only club in the league to dominate the Yankees; They had beaten them four out of five times. Then came the reckoning. Caseiy Stengel brought his Iboys into Chicago and they, came out swinging. They wound up iwith three victories in a row, taking the finale Thursday by a 9-5 count in 10 innings when Gil McDougald hit a homer in the appended frame to open the flood gates for a rally that put the issue beyond doubt. Thursday’s victory was their seventh in a row and it. gave Allie Reynolds, in a relief role, his fifth victory. Mickey Mantle homered for New York and drove in four runs, also drilling a double. Elsewhere in the American League the Indians stayed 5 3 « games behind >by topping the Red Sox 8-1 as Bob Lemon pitched a seven-hitter and? Larry Doby hit a grand slain bonier, while the Senators drubbed the Browns. 10-1 in a night game, and the A’s swept a douibleheader from the Tigers, 11-2, and 9-6 in 10 innings. Brooklyn moved back to within a half-game of the brazen Braves by beating them 10-5 in another Ebbets Field slugfest in which Bobby Morgan, Gil Hodges, Duke Snider, and Carl FUrillo hit homers. Snider drove in two runs, also connecting for a double and single. Johnny Logan paced the Braves with three hits as Max Surkoht finally went down to his first defeat after six straight victories. Billy Loes won his seventh game with relief help from Jim Hughes. The Giants settled into the kind of a rut they’d like to rest in for' a lifetime when tbejr won their second straight game by an 11-3 score from Cincinnati, piling up seven runs in the eighth inning for their margin. The Pirates without Ralph Kiner defeated the Cubs with hint. 6-1 as Ralphie got a -double but couldn’t offset the slugging of his team mates of the day before. Carlos Bernier hit a homer inside-the-park and Bob Hall pitched sevenhit ball for his first win. The Phils beat the Cards, 6-5, in 10 innings when Johnny Wyrostek’s single scored Richie Ashburn from second base. The win gave the Phils sole possession of third place.
