By FRED DOWN . United Press Sports Writer The Cleveland Indians had Just one edge on Archie Moore today as both awaited the in evitable the New York Yankees can't beat Rocky Marciano to the knockout punch. All the relentless Yankees can do tonight is clinch a tie for the American League title. They'll do that if they beat the Wash ington Senators a third straight time and the Indians lose to the Chicago White, Sox. But they can't deliver the kayo blow until at least Friday. The Indians ' made certain of that Tuesday night when they snapped a our-game losing streak with a "backo-the-wall" 3-2 triumph over the White Sox, The victory did little more than prolong the agony, however, as the Yankees beat the Senators, 6-3 and 9-7, in a day-night double header and went 2V2 games ahead of. the Tribe. As a result any combination of Yankee victories and Cleve land losses totaling three will clinch Casey Stengel's sixth flag in seven? years. The Yankees have five games left while the In dians have four. Wynn Pitches Victory Early Wynn yielded 10 hits but stranded 11 White Sox bat ters and pitched his way out of a ninth-inning threat to win .his 17th game of the year. Bobby Avila, the AL's 1954 batting champion, struck out the big blow for the Indians a two run triple in the eighth inning that snapped a 1-1 deadlock. The Yankees nightcap victory mathematically knocked the White Sox out of the race.

Kansas City Ath letics, 7-3, in other American League action. In the National League, Willie Mays hit his 49th and 50th hom ers as the New. York Giants wal loped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-1 and 14-8. Mays, who leads Ted SPORTS Kluszewski by five homers in their race, has tied a mark by hitting seven homers in six games and needs one more round tripper to equal Johnny Mize's club record established in 1947. . The champion Brooklyn Dodg ers beat the Philadelphia Phil lies, 6-3 and 6-1; Lew Burdette tossed a six hitter as the Mil waukee Braves beat the Cincin nati Redlegs, 7-0, and the St. Louis Cardinals got five - hit pitching from Ben Flowers and Harvey Haddix to down the Chi cago Cubs, 2-0, in other NL games.

Grape Phone 2-2339 Mexicans Threatened by Rocket in 1947 Los Angeles U.R) Two rocket experts say that lives of thousands of persons in Juarez, Mex., were threatened in 194? when a huge V-2 rocket fired in White Sands, N.M., went "hay wire" and in the wrong direc tion. George L. Meredith and Don ald Thompson, of White Sands, told the American Rocket so ciety meeting here yesterday that another rocket also went awry and almost landed in Ala morgordo, N.M. "It was very fortunate that none of the many possible cas ualties that might have resulted from these wild missiles in 1947 took place," said Meredith. "The rocket that hit Juarez and pre sumably, endangered El Paso, Tex., was supposed to fly north but flew south instead. The one that just missed Alamorgordo wandered east." Since 1947 the two experts said a special safety group has developed new radar and optical devices which keep track of the missiles and can explode them if they get out of control.
