2 Clevel

1 20-Game Winner, | Lemon, Garcia Due

By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer

Cleveland's three musketeers, Early Wynn, Bob Lem-| on, and Mike Garcia and their

Indian team mates face his-| toric embarrassment if they fail]

again to win the League pennant, a check of the records showed today. If they fail, they will almost) certainly go down as the only|

team ever to have three 20-game |

winners two years in a row and not win a flag either time. Last night Wynn became the first of the big three fireballers to gain his 20th triumph, topping the Athletics, 6 to 1, on five hits as Cleveland made it six victories in a row—all complete pitching performances—and eight in its last 10. » » ”

THE OTHER two are almost certain to join Wynn in the exclusive circle, barring complete collapse, in which case the Indi-| ans would be even more humiliated. Lemon goes for his 19th, against the Athletics tonight.|

Garcia will be shooting for his 20th in his next outing. The Florida fast man out-| pitched the A’s ace—Bitsy Bobby Shantz—striking out seven and bearing down magnificently when he got into trouble. The only Philadelphia run was unearned. It came in the sixth and broke a scoreless deadlock. Cleveland responded by scoring a pair on Bobby Avila's double, Al Rosen's single, and Wally Westlake’s double. Four singles by Rosen, Westlake, Jim Hegan and Ray Boone, and a walk in-between gave Cleveland four more in the eighth.

Meanwhile, the Yankees faltered, blowing a 5 to 4 decision to the mouse-like Browns when Ray Scarborough hit a batter with the bases loaded in | the ninth inning to force home the winning run. It was the second time this year the Yankees had lost a vital game by a hit batsman forcing in a run to break up the game. The previous time was in Detroit. | = " = THERE was just as much, if not more, panic for the National | League leading Dodgers, who | acted like sleep-walkers in losing! to the usually casual Cubs, 7 to 1, after the ‘Giants had topped the Pirates, 11 to 8, to cut Brooklyn's lead to four games. The Dodgers now have lost 11 out of 186. As usual,” pitching was the | problem for the Brooks and] Rookies Ray Moore and Joe Landrum combined to yield five | Chicago runs in the fourth in-| ning, after which knuckle-ball| specialist Warren Hacker breezed | to a seven-hit victory, his 13th of the year and his second-over| Brooklyn. | The Giants scored six runs in the first to give Rookie Bill Connelly a good cushion for his fifth] straight big league victory. Don Mueller and Monte Irvin hit] homers in-the big inning and the, Giants scored four more in the| fifth. Ralph Kiner hit a three-run} homer, his 32d, for the Bucs.

St. Louis loaded the bases on the Yankee relief pitcher in the ninth as Dick Kryhoski | doubled, and Fred Marsh, who | ‘had hit an earlier homer, |
