Yanks, Braves Move Nearer To 1958 Pennants By FRED DOWN United Press International It’s all over but the shouting for the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves. The Yankees reduced their magic number for clinching the American League pennant to six when they split a double-header with the Washington Senators Sunday while the Braves cut their figure to 10 when' they divided with the Pittsburgh Pirates. This means the Yankees are almost certain to clinch their ninth pennant in 10 years under Casey Stengel early in a 13-game road trip beginning Tuesday night. The Braves may have to wait a few days longer but they’re pfctty sure to nail down Fled Haney’s second straight sornetiriie during their forthcoming seven-g am e home stand or at St. Louis Sept. 17 or 18. The Yankees completed their last long home stand of the year with a 12-game lead Sunday when Duke Maas’ four-hitter gave them a 7-0 triumph after Pedro Ramos shut them out for the second straight time, 1-0. The Yankees gained ground in the split because the Cleveland Indians rallied to beat the second-place Chicago White Sox. 4-3, in a game marked by a near fist fight. Spahn Wins 19th The Braves fended off the challenge of the Pirates when Warren Spahn beat the Bucs, 3-1, for his 19th triumph. The Pirates’ 4-1 victory in the nightcap served merely to hold the Braves’ lead at 7’4 games — and they have only 16 games left. The Kansas City Athletics scored three runs in the ninth to edge the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. and the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5, on Frank Malzone’s lOth-inning double in the other American League games.
