Howell, a strapping right hander, won't win the official MVP award because he's" been with the team only half the sea son but you can be sure he won't receive a half share of world series loot if the White Sox make the grade. It was Dixie to the rescue again last night when the White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 7-5 and regained possession of first place by a half game. - The White Sox took over the top rung before a home crowd of 41,166 when the Kansas City Athletics surprised their rich re lations, the New York Yankees 4-3, and dumped them into a second-place tie with the Cleve land Indians, who defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 7-4. Yankees Lose Fifth The Yankees suffered their fifth loss in eight games on their final western trip when south paw Alex Kellner turned in a five-hitter and Hector Lopez ex ploded his 11th homer in the fifth inning. Bob Lemon received credit for his 15th victory of the season for the Indians but needed a ninth inning strikeout by Mossi to end the game. Al Smith hit his 20th homer and Bobby Avila, Hal Naragon and Al Rosen each had two hits as the Indians beat the Orioles for the 16th time this year. Southpaw Billy Hoeft of De troit took over the A. L. lead in shutouts when his sixth of the year beat Washington, 4-0. Frank House and Bill Tuttle hit two run homers for Detroit. Newcombe Wins Don Newcombe won his 19th game behind an assault that in cluded two homers by Roy Cam- panella and four hits by Duke Snider as the Brooklyn Dodgers downed the Milwaukee Braves, 8-6,' and reduced their "magic number' 'for clinching the Na tional League pennant to "12." Snider's homer marked the third straight season in which he has reached the 40-mark. Ted Kluszewski blasted two homers to raise his major league leading total to 43 but the New York Giants swept a double- header from the Cincinnati Red legs anyway. Johnny Antonelli tossed a five-hitter to give the Giants a 5-0 win in the opener and Willie Mays hit his 39th and 40th homers to lead them to a 9-7 verdict in the second game. Sam Jones won his 12th. game witS relief aid from Hal Jeff coat as the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-1, and the St. Louis Cardinals and Pitts burgh Pirates split in other N.
