NEW YORK, Sept. 18—True, vou won't be able to

be that Phil Rjzzuto's adroitly placed bunt which achieved a sweep over the Indians yesterday decided the sweat-dripping_ American League pennant race. It came in the last half of the ninth inning to break

tweédn Ed Lopat ‘and Bob Lemon and dissolve a 1-1 tie which had prevailed from the sixth inning. Since it was such an absorbing game and so vital were the stakes, you may be interested in. the details. One was down when Joe DiMaggio, hitless up to then, was charitably credited with a hit which Flip Rosen had kicked around messily at third base. Gene Woodling followed with a single to, ol and

Whith calls for split-second timing and unity of periormance. To insure {ts success the base runner must be able to conceal intent as long as possible to guard against a pitch out.

‘NEW YORK—Cautious Casey Stengel of the Yankees insisted today “we haven't stopped 'em but at least we've delayed 'em,” and Al Lopez of. Cleveland agreed with him all the way. , foe “We're not through by a long shot,” said the disappointed Lopez, following the Indians’ 2 to 1 loss to the Yankees yesterday. “Our pitching is in excellent shape and it just means we'll have to play a little

“DiMaggio didn't leave the bag ] until Lemon was well into his wind | up” Rizzuto pointed out. “He waited until the last possible moment. By the time he was off and running | it was too late for Lemon to shift to a pitch out. I knew the instant I tapped the ball we were home free, They weren't even going te catch DiMaggio. “This is the third or fourth time we've worked the squeeze together. A hitter couldn't ask for a smarter runner at the other end.”

And so the Yankees came through again in a desperate crisis, beat off another challenger, at least for the time being, and lengthened their lead in a flag race which seems destined to go down to the wire for the third straight year. : | on

Easter is not a clever fielder. Besidés he has a bad knee. And if L.emon had to field the bunt he might have to make an off bal# ance throw. : Willle Hoppe in his prime never controlled the behavior of a billiard ball with greater finesse or more meticulous accuracy: than Rizzuto summoned in dropping .a spinning. ball to-the right of the mound. There wasn't even a chance to. make a play. :
