Yanks Tie AL, Garver

By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer

THE YANKEES may not know whether they are the American League's champions for a third straight year until they have played 27 more games. But they have already won permanent possession of

Take’

Ned Garver, the Browns’ curve-baller. The junior circuit's race had that old look—all knotted up— and one good reason is the Yankees’ amazing success against the pitcher many consider the best in the American League. Garver hasn't beaten the Yankees in the last two and a half years—eight straight de- ¢ eisions having gone against him «and the latest was a 15 to 2 shellacking that vaulted the New Yorkers back into a tie with the Indians for the lead last night. » n » THE INDIANS, deep in a runfamine that threatens to strangle their pennant chances, had already suffered their third shutout in six games—a 3 to 0 loss to the Athletics—when the Yankees took the field against Garver. Garver retired only one man before the Yankees had pounded him for four hits and five runs. They went on to blast 17 hits, including homers by Mickey

* Casey Engineers : 6 *nY’ A ‘Sain’ Deal By United Press 8ST. LOUIS, Aug. 30—Manager Casey Stengel of the New York Yankees said today that newly Pitcher Johnny Sain “may be able to help us but that he'll have to prove himself on the field.” The Yankees acquired the $30,000-a-year right-hander, who has been a 20-game winner four times since 1945, in a walver deal with the Boston Braves yesterday. The Yankees gave the Braves’ 24-year-old Pitcher Lou Burdette, on option to San Francisco in the Pacific Coast League from New York's Kansas City farm club in the American Association, and an undisclosed sum of cash believed to be $50,000. . It was the third time in as many years that the Yankees eneered a deal with the National ague for important aid at a key stage of the race. They acguired Johnny Mize from the Giants in 1949 and Johnny Hopp from the Pirates last year in similar deals

3 ” = ¥ . STENGEL did not attempt to hide his elation at Sain’s acquisition put admitted he was not pure how he intended to use the 83-year-old curve-ball specialist, ' Stengel has been so hardfor a capable late-inning ] pitcher this year that he has been forced to ask starters Allie Reynolds and Bob Kuzava to double up as relievers. : Stengel said that he was cerreports that Sain is suffering

a lame arm are unfounded.

Lopez Benches Mitchell CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 30 (UP) — Manager Al Lopez benched Left Fielder Dale Mitchell today for Clarence Maddern in an effort to bolster the Cleveland Indians. Lopez said Mitchell was “a little weary,” and needed rest. Mitchell, batting around .200 a month ago, was hitting .296 after yesterday's loss to. the Philadelphia Athletics. The 30-year-old southpaw outfielder was instrumental in lifting the Tribe to tbe top of the American. League standings, but Lopez felt his recent spurt may have “pooped him out.”

Mantle and Gil McDougald, as Allie Reynolds breezed to an easy two-hit victory. Cleveland wasted another fine pitching performance — this one by 17-game winner Mike Garcia and now have scored only eight runs in their last seven garues. Gus Zernial had a hand in all Philadelphia's scoring, blasting a two-run homer in the fourth inning and scoring after hitting a double in the seventh. Alex Kellner scattered five hits to win his eighth game and score the first shut-out of his major league career. = = » THE NATIONAL LEAGUE race remained unchanged as both the Dodgers and Giants won. The Dodgers blasted 16 hits inclugding Gil Hodges’ 35th and 36th homers of the season to submerge the Reds, 13 to 1. The Giants, getting brilliant three-hit pitching from Jim Hearn, to beat the Pirates, 3 to 1. It was the Giants’ 17th victory in 18 games and answered the question of whether they could bounce back from their streakending 2-to-0 loss the previous day but it brought them no closer to their goal—first place. Hodges’ homers established a new club record for a single season, eclipsing Babe Herman's mark of 35 set in 1930. They also sent him into a tie with Pittsburgh's Ralph Kiner for the major league lead. t J ” » DAVE COLE won his first big league game on his 21st birthday, although Bob Chipman had to retire the last two batters, as the Braves beat the Cubs, 4 to 1. Gerry Staley won his 15th game thanks to fine relief pitching by Harry Brecheen as the Cardinals defeated the Phillies, 3 to 2. Ted Williams hit his 27th homer as the Red Sox beat the Tigers, 7 to 5, and the Senators defeated the White Sox, 2 to 1, in 13 innings in other American League games. .
