On the personal side, the In dians are fed up with the in creasing needling they have been subjected to from the seventh-place Senators, who have beaten them 12 out of 19 games this year. Then there's the always vital matter of World Series money. The Indians, who lead the Amer ican League by Vz games, are convinced . they can -eliminate the last major obstacle in their road to the pennant by captur ing at least two games of the three. game series which opens with a twi-night doubleheader at Griffith Stadium tonight. Two Veterans To Pitch Q Toward that end, Cleveland Manager Al Lopez, who says o Q UUS series can mane ur uredn US, lias Iiuillilldicu iwu ui 1110 pressure ' tested right-handers, Bob Lemon and Mike Garcia, to pitch against Washington in to night's twin-bill.

The Studs are aiming for a trip to the national tourney at Battle Creek, Mich. left-hander Chuck Stobbs in the nightcap. . The Yqckees, a game and a half in theall important "lost column" have throubles of their own. But their troubles could suddenly dissolve if they were to beat the Tigers today while the Indians lose their double dip to the pesky Senators. Such a series of events would result in a tie between Cleveland and New York for first place. Yanks To Use Turley Casey Stengel is sending his right handed fast-baller Bob Tur ley to the mound against Detroit today while Bucky Harris of the Tigers has given the nod to Bob Miller, a 20-year-old bonus hurl er who has just returned to Detroit after compiling - an 8-2 record with Augusta of the Sally League.
