(Indians Seat Yankees, 6-3;
Bums Move 15V2 Games Ahead
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Presi Sporli Writer
If the Yankees don't snap out
of it, that hot five team pennant
race in the American League
will be reduced to four and the
once proud Bronx Bombers will
be in the second division.
They have fallen apart since
July 4 when they went into that
traditional pennant, yardstick
date leading the league by 6V2
games for their biggest margin
o of the year.
Since then they have won 11
eames and lost 13. Now look at
what the other pennant hopefuls
have done over the same period.
Boston has traveled at the fast
est pace with 20 wins and 9
losses, Cleveland is almost as hot
at 20-11 and Chicago, on top by
two percentage points, is 20-12
Detroit's pace is 19-13.
During their prolonged slump
the Yankees were 0-3 against
the Tigers, who came in for a
three-game series tonight, 2-3
against the Indians, 2-4 against
the White Sox and 0-2 against
the Red Sox. Even the second
division teams hold no terror
The Yankees are 0-1 with Balti
more and 4-4 with Kansas City
in that stretch, holding an ad
vantage over only one club,
Washington, at 3-1.
Yankees Drop To Third
The Indians dropped the Yan
kees to third place with a 6-3
triumph Thursday on a three-
run homer by Vic Wertz, while
the rambunctious Red Sox
climbed to within two games of
the top with another victory

the Mayo Clinic here, it appeared

a possible slipped disk, has been
advised to retire because of the
possibility of serious complica
tions, it was learned Thursday
night.
Williams, under treatment
here for several days, could not
be reached immediately for com
ment. But Sid Hartman, column
ist for the Minneapolis Morning
Tribue, quoted Williams as say
ing he had donned his uniform
for "the last time."
Hartman said Williams told
him the news "came as a real
blow," but as something of a
"relief" as well. He quoted Wil
liams as saying he played last
year only by "taking pills" to
deaden the pain.

The scrappy Hollywood Stars
looked more and more like a
Pacific Coast League pennant
contender last night with a 12
inning, 3-2 win over pace-setting
Seattle.
Carlos Bernier's bases-loaded
single in the bottom of the 12th
gave Bobby Bragan's boys their
10th win in their last 13 starts.
They're still in third place, but
only four gomes from the top

ruled it was fair and it went
for a single.
