As a matter of fact, It looks
like the best shotmakers of the

two and possibly three of them
threatening to take over the
pinnacle position.

By Judson Bailey
Associated Press Sports Writer,
Without fanfare or fireworks
the New York Yankees have
arrived back In the first divi
sion of the American league
and apparently have finally
found the trail that can lead
to their coveted fifth consecu
tive world championship.
The Yanks humbled the
Washington Senators, 12-4 and
3-1, in a doubleheader yesterday
to attain six victories In their
last seven games In fact, nine
victories In 12 games since that
demoralizing eight-game losing
streak.
Red Sox Next.
Today New York Is only 8'-4
games out of first place and
easily can be riding the crest
before the Fourth of July. The
Yanks will plsy three games
with the league-leading Boston
Red Sox tomorrow and Friday.
In subduing the Senators, the
McCarthymen tallied 12 runs
on 14 hits in the first game
and Rookie Marvin Bruer lim
ited Washington to seven hits
In the second.
The Red Sox tightened their
hold on first place at least tem
porarily by beating the Phila
delphia Athletics 4-1 In a night
game after the second place
Cleveland Indiana had lost to
Detroit 8 5.
Browns Win Pair.
The Yankees' leap from sixth
to fourth place was made pos
sible by the Chicago White Sox
dropping both ends of a double
header to the St. Louis Browns.
10-9 and 7 5.
The Cincinnati Reds dropped
a 8-2 decision to Pittsburgh.
The Chicago Cubs were shut
out by the St. Louis Cardlrals
8-0 on the four-hit hurling of
Max Lanier.
The Brooklyn Dodgers cut
down the Phillies 4-2 for their
fifth consecutive victory.
