Red while the two leaders cut their own throats in hand-to-hand struggles. A

League's “Big Four” sha up: The Tigers still held a 234-game lead over the Yankees but have given ground to both Tew York and Cleveland since the July 4

of 14 games and sliced two games off Detroit's lead while Cleve land's 10-5 pace had cut a half game off it. The Tigers have won nine of 14 since July 4. Red Sox Picking Up The Red Sox were 834 games 0 the pace and had split 14 games since July 4 but were In much the same position as & year ago today when their drive on first place was gaining Joomentum, Their drat-place deficit, in fact, was exactly 8% games a year ago --thé same a. it is today. The Sox showed they weren't ready to roll over and play dead yesterday ‘when they spotted Art Houtteman and Detroit a 5 to 0 lead and came on to win, 8 to §, on Dom DiMaggio's 11th-inning double which tallied Billy Goodman, Walt Drope and Bobby Doerr blasted homers for the Sox

park homer for the Tigers. Relief Pitchers Chuck Stobbs and Ellis Kinder held the Tigers to one hit through the last eight innings, with Kinder picking up his ninth victory of the seas: .. Cleveland, hanging gamely in the race, beat the Philadelphia A's, 3 to 2, in 11 innings in the only other A. L. game yesterday to advance to within 4% games of the Tigers. Sad Sam Zoldak, who reileved Steve Gromek, won his own game with a single after Bob Kennedy’s ninth-inning homer tied the score. Pressure Shows In NL The pressure of the four-way National League scramble began to show unmistakably on the contenders as the Cardinals, Phillies and Dodgers all bowed to seconddivision teams. The Dodgers suffered the most bitter blow--a twin defeat at the hands of the reincarnated Cincinnati Reds last night, Ken Raffensberger held the Dodgers to

2-2 tie in the seventh inning of the nightcap when Catcher Bruce Ed-

Glants Rock Cards The Giants rocked George Munger in an eight-run third inning and went on to beat the Cardinals, 13 to 3, ind Dave Koslo's steady nine-hit pitching.
