Five of the eight National League players how are from the Cincinnati Redlegs. There were four shifts in positions in the next, to the last tabulation announcement by commissioner Ford Frick’s office, and each involved a player for the Redlegs.

White Sox And Indians Extend Victory Skeins By MILTON RICHMAN (United Press Sports Writer) The stirred-up White Sox and Indians were peppering the Yankees from both flanks today, anxiously waiting for one false move to knock the New Yorkers out of the American League lead. The White Sox, with definite designs on first place, ran their winning streak to nine games Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox while the Indians reeled off their seventh straight triumph by edging the Orioles, 4-3. Southpaw Whitey Ford kept the wolves from the door, as it were, when he.pitched the Yankees to an 8-4 victory over the Athletics, thefeby enabling the Bronx Bombers to retain, tipdr shaky 1% game lead. Jack Harshman helped the White Sox run their winding streak to the longest one in five years ,when he set the Red Sox down on three hits for his fifth victory. The current Chicago winning streak is the longest since the 1951 White Sox won 14 games in a row. Torn Brewer held the White Sox to three bits in six innings but all came tn the second Inning when Chicago scored three runs on two singles, a walk, an error by Ted Williams and a double by Luis Aparicio. r Early Wynn recorded his eighth yjctbftr with a five-hit effort over Baltimore, the Indians breaking a 3-3 tie when Bobby Avila and Gene Woodling hit back-to-back doubles off reliever George Zuzerink in the seventh. Baltimore led 34 until the sixth when the Tribe tied the score with a three-run rally off starter Connie Johnson. Home runs by Yogi Berra, Billy Martin and Andy Carey carried the Yankees to their victory over the Athletics. Ford gave up seven hits. Including a ninth inning homer by Harry (Suitcase) Simpson. Ex-Yankee Tom .Gorman was the loser. Detroit and Washington battled to a 2-2 tie in a game limited to 4 2-3 innings by rain. The Tigers, who entered the game with a ninegame losing streak, tied the score in the bottom of the fifth off Bunky Stewart when they scored a run as Al Kaline hit into a double play with (lie bases full. Managers Bucky Harris of Detroit and Chuqk Dressen of Washington each protested the game as a result of a play which delayed the game 15 minutes in the first inning. The drawn • out argument that ensued revolved around whether Senator outfielder Ernie Oravetz caught Jack Phillips’ longdrive before or after it hit the 10ft field screen. Heavy Rains, Wind In South Part Os County Considerable wind accompanied less than a quarter of an inch of rainfall In the Decatur area Tuesday nighfczbut heavier rains and wind visited the southern part of the county. Several trees were reported to have been blown down from Monroe, south in the county and heavy rain fell for about an hour. Jay county also had a severe storm and several Portland streets were reported to be flooded for several hours last night. Temperature in the low 80’s was predicted for Adams county today, but early indications were that the mercury might rise to 90 degrees. A cooler night is promised for tonight by the weather birresu and it is believed likely that the rains have run themselves out for a few days. Cloudy weather, however. will continue if the forecasters are correct. RIP BUILDINGS (Coal In wed from rair Oat) low£r Great Lakes through the eastern Ohio Valley and on to the Atlantic Coast.
