Al Benton, veteran Cleveland righthander, stopped the Yankees with seven hits as the third place Indians climbed to within five games of the top. Cards Still In Front Both St. Louis and Brooklyn were beaten to leave the National league-leading Cards still a game and a half in front of the Dodgers. The New York Giants whipped the Redblrds, 4-2, and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Dodgers by the same score. Detroit moved into fourth place In the American league, passing the Philadelphia Athletics as they hammered out 18 hits, including three home runs, to wallop Wash ington, 11-1.

He then slid home on Darlo Lodigiani's fly to center, winning the game 8-7. Milo Candlni, who relieved Charley Gassaway, was the vic tim of the final punch. Con Demp sey, touched for 13 hits, went the route for his 16th win. Hollywood was spilled by Loa Angeles, 8-5, for the third time in four nights. A five-run barrage against Jack Salveson in the fifth sewed it up. Bryan Stephens wai the winner. The Stars' margin re mained two games over the sec ond place Oaks.
