6 Tha Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore Wed, Juna 29, IWlMatiliaS SeCOnd DiMaggio, Again In Yankees' Lineup, Displays Top Form As Team Defeats Boston, 5 to 4 Joe Hits Homer, Single, Grabs 6 Field Chances By JOE REICHLER . Associated Press Sportswriter Two things became clear to day. Joe Dimaggio, ailing heel and all, still is the most elec trifying figure In baseball and the New York Yankees are defi nitely the team to beat for ths American League flag. It will be a long time before the 36,228 spectators lured out to Fenway Park by the pros pect of seeing Joe back In ac tion, will forget DiMag's 1M9 debut. They saw Joe cover him self with glory as the Yankees defeated their favorites, 5-4. They know now that the Boston Red Sox face a herculean task to overcome New York's six-game bulge. DiMag. who missed the Yan kees' first 65 games because of an Inflamed right heel, wasted no time proving that he had lost none of his greatness. Fac ing 20-year-old Maurice McDer mott In the second inning for his first official time at bat this year Joe lined a single. Two outs later, he and Johnny Lin dell scored ahead of Hank Bauer's home run to give the Yankees a 3 0 lead. DIMag came up for his sec ond time at bat in the third. There were two outa and one on. He rifled a fast pitch into the left field screen for a home run to put his team In front, 50. ' That was the ball game, though the Red Sox came back to knock out Allie Reynolds In the ninth and come within one run of ty ing it up. It was Joe who caught Ted Williams' long fly with a runner on third for the final out of the game. DiMaggio had six chances In the field and gobbled them up neatly. The question now confronting not only the Red Sox but the other contenders as well Is: if the Yankees were tough to beat without DiMaggio, how ara they going to be with him? Other Results The runner-up Philadelphia Athletics remained four and a half games behind New York, whipping the Washington Sen ators, 6-1, behind the seven-hit pitching of Alex Kellnor. The roogle lefthander won his 11th game to Join the Yankees' Vic Raschl as the top winning pitch er In the majors. Cleveland moved Into third place by a few percentage points over the Red Sox and Detroit, defeating the Tigers, 4-2.
