Monday, August 29, 19SS
to Solons
dropping a doubleheader to
Washington Sunday while the
buckling Bronx Bombers, who
have dropped three of their last
four games, split a twin bill with
the White Sox.
It's a toss-up which club is
playing the worst ball, league
leading New York, second-place
Chicago or third-place Cleveland.
The White Sox, who had a
chance to take over first place
Sunday, have dropped five of
their last eight , while the In
dians, now one game off the
pace, have lost four of their last
seven.
At the current pace, the league
could come up with its weakest
World Series representative
since the Tigers won the 1945
pennant with a meager total of
88 victories.
Kennedy Wins Nightcap
Home runs by Mickey Mantle
and Yogi Berra helped Whitey
Ford to his 15th victory as the
Yankees won the opener, 6-1.
But a three-run homer by Bob
Kennedy in the first inning stood
up all the way to give the White
Sox a 3-2 triumph in the night
cap.' The Senators chased Art Hout
teman to win the opener, 8-2, be
hind a brilliant one-hit relief
job by southpaw Chuck Stobbs
over the last 6 13 innings, and
pounded out 15 hits, including
four by Eddie Yost, to cop the
nightcap, 13-4. Washington
broke a 1-all tie and routed Mike
Garcia with an eight run burst in
the seventh.
Eddie Joost poled two home
runs and Grady Hatton and Ted
Williams one each -as he Red
Sox mauled the Athletics, 14-2.
Hatton's homer came with the
bases' loaded in the first inning
and big Frank Sullivan coasted
to his 16th victory after that. .
The scheduled game between
the Orioles and Tigers was post
poned because of rain.
The Dodgers gained a game
and a half, increasing their Na
tional League lead to HVz
games, by beating the Cardinals,
6-1, while the second -place
Braves bowed twice to the last
place Pirates, 5-3 and 2-0.
Cards Eliminated '
Karl Spooner pitched his firct
complete game of the season for
the Dodgers while eliminating
the Cards from any mathemati
cal chance of winning the pen
nant. Spooner struck out nine
and gave up six hits, including a
homer by Rip Repulski. Gil
Hodges and - Roy Campanella
homered for the Dodgers. '
Despite homers by, Eddie
Mathews and Bobby Thomson,
the Pirates rallied for four runs
in the eight inning to overcome
a 3-0 Milwaukee lead in the first
game of their - doubleheader
while Vern Law hurled a four
hitter to qut-pitch veteran War
ren Spahn and rack up his 10th
win in the nightcap. ,
The sizzling Phillies climbed
to within 3 Vi games of second
place by licking the Redlegs
twice, 7-6 and 8-3, with reliever
Bob Miller winning the opener
and rookie. Ron Negray going
all the way in the nightcap.
Bob Rush of the Cubs shut out
the Giants for the . third time
this season, defeating them 3-0
on a six-hitter. Ernie Banks led
Chicago's nine-hit offensive with
a pair of triples that figured in
the last two runs.
