games at home this year, would be playing the Washington Senators in Fenway Park. And after Washington leaves, the Yankees move into Boston for the two final games of the season. “Nothing to be very optimistic about there,” he mused Pags, Johnson Star But while he had no cheer about; ithe. fhture, he was very: happy about the significant viectory over the Red Sox which was accomplished mainly on a threerun pinch-hit homer by Billy Johnson and a brilliant fiveinning relief pitching stint by Lefty Joe Page. Johnson's homer in the fifth put the Yankees ahead to stay and Page took over to win his third straight. In five innings, he struck out six, including two pinch hitters, ,as he scored his ninth victory. {Bobby Brown, who drove in a pair of runs with two triples and a double, shared hitting honors. The Tigers scored a bitterly fought decision over Cleveland at Detroit, beating Cleveland's ace right hander, Bob Lemon, who had pitched a no-hit, no-run game against them earlier this season. A two run double by Vic Wertz in the seventh put Detroit ahead to stay and nullified the effects of three homers of Pitcher Freddy Hutchinson by Joe Gordon, Larry Doby and Ken Keltner. White .Sox Win
In.a night game at St. Louis, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Browns, 4 to 3, on Al Gettel's neat five-hit pitching job. In the National League, the second place Cardinals stayed mathematically alive by defeating the Cubs, 4 to 1, at Chicago as Harry (The Cat) 6 Brecheen pitched a five hitter to win his 18th game. The Cardinals still could win the flag if they won all their remaining eight games while the Braves lost their remaining eight—fat chance. The Cincinnati Reds doused the Pittsburgh Pirates’ last hopes for the pennant with a 4-to-3 victory under the lights in _the Smoky City. Bobby Adams rapped three hits to drive in as many runs, while Reliefer Harry Gumbert rescued Starter Herman Wehmeier when the Pirates scored all n|their runs in the seventh inning. Yesterday's Star—Billy (The Bull) Johnson of the Yankees, whose three-run pinch homer gave them a 9-to-6 victory over the Red Sox that put them in a triple tie for first place.
