White Sox Win Double Header From Indians By FRED DOWN United Press International You’ll have to excuse fun-loving Bill Veeck if he’s enjoying a huge horse laugh at the expense of Frank Lane and the Cleveland Indians. Veeck’s Chicago White. Sox took some of the steam out of the frontrunning Indians Sunday when they scored 5-4 and 5-0 victories and completed a sweep of a three-game series. It was the first severe jolt the Indians have suffered this year and the two wins boosted the White Sox to within IVi games of the American League lead. Billy Pierce and Early Wynn, each" going all out this year to win back salary cuts, were the big heroes as the White Sox beat Veeck’s ex-club for the sixth time in eight tries. Pierce went the distance in the 11-inning opener while Wynn fired a four-hitter to gain the 253rd victory of his major league career in the nightcap. The New York Yankees moved to within two games of the .500mark by beating the Washington Senators, 6-3 and 3-2, the Boston Red Sox swept the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2 and 5-1, and the Detroit Tigers downed the Kansas City Athletics, 7-6, in the other American League games. Braves Take Lead In the National League, the Milwaukee Braves regained first place with 12-4 and 2-1 wins over the Cincinnati Reds, the Los Angeles Dodgers shaded the San Francisco
