They’re not soaring high, wide and handsome like Able and Baker yet but they’re out of the American League dungeon and set to take off from sixth place. The first division is only a game and a half away and even the firstplace Cleveland Indians are only six games distant. Casey Stengel’s revived world champions climbed two notches to sixth place Sunday when they beat the Washington Senators, 3-0, and ran their winning streak to four games. The streak is the longest of the season for the Yankees who had been in last place since May 20. World Series hero Bob Turley and first baseman Bill Skowron were the stars of the victory. Turley pitched a two-hitter and Skowron blasted a three-run homer in the ninth to beat Camilo Pascual. Tigers Reach Firth The Detroit Tigers reached fifth place when they downed the Indians, 7-4; the Kansas City Athletics routed the Chicago White Sox, 9-1, and the Baltimore Orioles edged out the Boston Red Sox, 2-1, in other AL action. The Milwaukee Braves lost their opener, 6-0, but then defeated the Philadelphia Phillies. 2-1; the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-3; the Los Angeles Dodgers scored a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Pittsburgh Pirates outslugged the Cincinnati Reds, 6-2 and 14-11; in the National League. Pascual carried a two-hit shutout into the ninth but Mickey Mantle doubled with two out, Yogi Berra was intentionally walked and Skowron connected for his eighth homer of the season. Charlie Maxwell’s three - run ninth inning homer off Jim Perry enabled the Tigers to reach then highest position of the season and gave rookie Jerry Davie his second win. Garver Throws 4-Hltter Ned Garver pitched a four-hitter for the Athletics who kayoed Early Wynn in the second inning and beat the veteran knucklebailer for the third straight time this season. Preston Ward clinched matters with a grand slam homer in the sixth. Two Orioles dropped the Red Sox into the AL basement when Willie Tasby’s sixth-inning single scored Al Pilarcik and snapped a 1-1 tie. Robin Roberts beat Lew Burdette with a four-hitter for the Phillies in their opener but then the Braves got four-hit pitching from Warren Spahn who won his seventh game of the season and the 253rd of his career in the second game. • Johnny Antonelli struck out 11 batters and drove in three runs as the Giants moved to within 2% games of the Braves. Bob Schmidt homered for the Giants as they handed Glen Hobble his fifth setback. Danny McDevitt replaced Sandy Koufax with the bases filled and none out in the seventh inning, retired Stan Musial on a foul pop and struck out Ray Jablonski and Joe Cunningham to end the inning. He then shut out the Cardinals in the last two innings to preserve Koufax s first win. Smoky Burgess hit two homers for Pittsburgh in the first game and then snapped an 11-11 tie with a three-run seventh-inning homer in the nightcap of a free-hitting doubleheader with Cincinnati. Bob Skinner hit two homers and knocked in seven runs in the second game and Don Hoak hit three homers and had six hits during the doubleheader. Dodgers. Cardinals Tie Strikeout Mark LOS ANGELES (UPD—The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals equalled the National League record for futility during Sunday’s 5-3 Los Angeles victory. A total of 23 players struck out tying the National League record held by five clubs and falling one short of the major league mark for that sort of thing set by Washington and Cleveland on May 19, 1958.

Rodger Ward Wins Richest 500 Mile Race INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPDRodger Ward, a former Army pilot, shook off years of frustration to win history’s richest 500mile auto race in record time and he credited it all today to the best equipment and the sharpest pit crew. Ward, 38, of Los Angeles, never better than eighth in eight previous Memorial Day classics, dodged five mishaps and outlasted 32 rivals Saturday to hit auto racing’s jackpot. He averaged 135.857 m.p.h. for the distance, compared with the 1957 record of 135.601 by the retired Sam Hanks. Together with car owner Robert Wilke of Milwaukee and car build-er-mechanic A. J. Watson and his crew, Ward took home $106,850 from a total purse of $338,150 carved up at Sunday night’s traditional victory dinner. The winner usually gets 40 per cent of the car’s earnings, but reaps many other profits, Jimmy Bryan, who never even got started this time, received a payoff last year of $105,574 from a total purse of $305,217. Ward made three evenly-spaced pit stops and led Jim Rathmann, the runner-up for the third time in seven years, by 23 seconds at the finish. ♦ Ward piled up such a margin that he didn’t relinquish the lead even during his last two stops for tires and fuel. Watson’s crew, working with split-second precision, used up just 72 seconds for the three pit slops. “They were so fast. I didn’t have time to catch my breath,” Ward said. Jim Rathmann, the runner-up. received a grand total of $39,800. Third place Johnny. Thomson collected $32,425. Tony Bettenhausen who finished fourth received $15,475 and Paul Goldsmith was handed $11,975 for coming in fifth. Bryan who finished last because he only went a single lap before clutch trouble eliminated his machine, collected $3,405. Bobby Grim, 34, Indianapolis, the fastest newcomer in “500” history, beat out Chuck Arnold for “rookie of the year” honors. (Snm was running in the first ten when engine trouble eliminated his car after 85 laps. He suffered a dislocated shoulder in a freak accident and finished in 26th position. Three of the first 10 positions in the final standings of the speed classic were changed Sunday and one of two protests disallowed. The official standings changes involved Bth, 9th and 10th places. Eddie Johnson was awarded Bth palce, Paul Russo 9th and A.J. Foyt 10th. The unofficial standings after the race had Foyt in Bth place, Bob Veith in 9th and Al Herman 10th. Veith, who was dropped to 14th place, and car-owner John Zink contended they should have finished 9th. Russo and car-owner Fred Gerhardt claim e d they should have finished 6th. But chief steward Harlan Fengler said the ,Russo-Gerhardt Protest was disallowed because records showed the car finished about two seconds behind Duane Carter, who was 7th. Veith’s protest, however, managed to raise him to 12th place, ahead of Herman and Jimmy Daywalt. Officials blamed Veith’s 14th place on a typographical error. The protests were filed with the U.S. Auto Club within 30 minutes after the official finish was posted, and were reviewed at a special meeting. Two drivers and one mechanic, injured in accidents during the race, missed the victory banquet. Drivers Mike Magill and Ray Crawford reamined in serious condition with multiple injuries sustained in crashes. Both were expected to remain hospitalized for at least several days. Joe Alexander, a mechanic on Dick Rathmann’s auto, was burned severly on both hands when spilled fuel ignited during a pit stop, Doctors said Alexander might be hospitalized for five-to six weeks. Bobby Grim Named As Rookie Os Year INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Bobby Grim, Indianapolis, a lead-footed newcomer to the annual Memorial Day 500-mile race, was honored as the "rookie of the year” at the victory banquet here Sunday night. Grim, 34, was the fastest rookie ever to qualify for the “500” and was running among the first 10 on the 85th lap when his car developed engine trouble and had to be taken from the race. He finished in 26th place, however.

Night Club Patron Slain By Bandits GARY, Ind. (UPI) — Gary police were searching for a pair *of masked bandits who shot and killed a night club patron here early, Sunday.

The gunmen fled with several hundred dollars taken from customers, who were forced to lie on the floor.
