They will meet the Washington. -Benators while the two principal pennant contenders, the Yankees and Cleveland Indians, are slitting each other's throats in Cleveland, over the week-end. They went into: the Yankee series hoping desperately to take two games and fearing the worst. They came out with three straight victories and a tremendous psychological
lift. Houtteman Is Winner Art Houtteman, the Tigers’ big-
gest winner, completed the Tiger
coup yesterday with a six-hit, 5.1 "10 2 Victory after his mates routed Ed Lopat in the first inning. Houtteman showed signs of weakening only twice—in the second when the Yankees had runners on second and third with one out but. failed to score, and in the third when Johnny Mize blasted a
two-run homer.
Lopat had himself to blame, at least in part, for the big first inning. He walked Gerry Priddy after
shadow-boxed with George Kell’s attempted sacrifice bunt allowing the bases to become filled. Vie Wertz followed with a. two-run double. An outfield fly and Don Kolloway’s single completed the four-run assault and the Toute of. Lopat. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardnals were faced with the necessity of dragging themselves out of another slump after their second straight loss to the Boston Braves, who vaulted into second place in the National League on Vern Bickford’s four-hit 5 to 1 victory. _ Cards Slipping Back The loss drop the Cardinals 42 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies.

DiMaggio's reticence toward Casey cannot possibly. be interpreted as disappointment over having been bypassed for the managership. He certainly does not have an antagonistic relationship to Casey analagous to the one which, for four years, existed between Babe Ruth and Joe McCarthy, Ruth asked for the leadership when Miller Huggins died in 1929. The Babe again demanded the ob, after Bob Shawkey had been fired in the fall of: 1930. But DiMaggio never has owned to managerial" aspirations. Doubtless he has them now. But that has nothing to do with Stengel and Joe’s lack of conversation. If DiMaggio is deep in glowering moods, they are not directed at C. D, Stengel, but at J. P. DiMaggio. The Clipper is his own severest critic and castigator. Joe will sit in front of his dressing cubicle for an hour and a half after a game, reproving himself for neglected opportunities,

DIMAGGIO could go from the Yankees to a lucrative career in baseball radio and television. But he would rather stay in uniform, for half. Doubtless he has been sour, and he has glowered.
