KT MTOrOTO fOREQOm MAIL TRIBUNE Yanks Advance By Walloping Bums; Nab Two from Nats; Redlegs Whack Cards Twice By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees are in an old familiar position today for an old familiar reason: They will occupy first place on the July 4 milestone because they're walloping "the bums" without mercy. The Yankees demonstrated anew that they know this ancient formula for winning pennants Sunday when they downed the seventh-place Washington Sena tors 3-2 and 8-6, to go four games ahead of the second-place Chicago White Sox. The sweep gave the Yankees an 18-4 record against the Senators and eighth- place Kansas City Athletics com pared to a 28-21 pace against the rest of the league. In other words, the Yankees are playing .818 ball against the two bottom teams and only .571 ball against the five other clubs. The Yankees won the opener when Joe Collins walloped a "wrong way" two-run homer in the eighth inning and copped the nightcap on the wings of Mickey Mantle's 28th and 29th homers. Mantle's blows the seventh and ninth innings put him eight games ahead of Babe Ruth's record 1927 pace. He hit one right-handed and the other left-handed. Relief pitchers won both games for the Yankees Tom Morgan picked up his third win in the opener and Tom Sturdi vant his sixth in the nightcap. Indians Take Two The Cleveland Indians dealt the White Sox a staggering blow when they beat them, 7-6 and 6-1, to take the five-game series, 3-2. The Indians won the open er with a three-run rally in the ninth climaxed by Chico Car rasquel's single and romped home in the nightcap behind Bob Lemon's five-hitter. The win raised Lemon's record to 10-5. The Baltimore Orioles snapped a five-game losing streak when they beat the Boston Red Sox, 5-3, on Dick Williams' two-run homer. Connie Johnson yielded a homer to Ted Williams but went the distance for his third victory while Bob Porteriield suffered his seventh loss for the Red Sox. The Kansas City Athletics scored three runs in the sixth innings to beat the Detroit Ti gers, 4-3, and end their six-game losing skein in the other AL game. Tom Gorman gained credit for his fifth triumph and Frank Lary lost his 10th deci sion. The Cincinnati Redlegs crush ed the St. Louis Cardinals, 19-15 and 7-1, to move within five percentage points of first place in the National League when the Milwaukee Braves split with the Chicago Cubs. Ted Wallops Three Homers Ted Kluszewski walloped three homers in the 10-inning opener, the last one in the midst of a six-run, last-frame upris ing. The Cardinals had tied the score with three runs in the ninth of a three-hour and 47- minute game marked by 43 hits and eight homers. Rookie Don Gross limited the Cardinals to seven hits, including Stan Mu sial's 14th homer, in the sec ond game. Don Kaiser pitched a six-hitter and Ernie Banks hit his 19th and 20th homers to give the Cubs a 7-0 triumph but the Braves rebounded behind Ray Grone's five-hitter to win the nightcap, 4-3. and retain first place. The Philadelphia Phillies rout ed relief ace Clem Labine in a five-run ninth inning and beat the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7-4, but the world champions won their second game, 4-1, as Roger Craig spun a five-hitter spiced with nine strikeouts. Gil Hodges hit his 17th homer for Brook lyn in the nightcap. Johnny Antonelli won his seventh game with the aid of Foster Castlemen's two-run hom er as the New York Giants edged the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-2, and the Giants ed in the second game. 7-6, when it was suspended after eigh 'innings. The Giants had taken the lead in the eighth when Willie Mays delivered a three-run double. The game will be completed on August 10.

SCHEKIH MUSS C8., H 1. 1 IMPORTED dications were ihat Friend would get the nod over Robin Roberts and that Stengel will open the game with one of the two southpaws he named to the A.L. squad. Friend, the N.L.'s leading win ner with an 11-5 record through games of June 30, headed the list of seven pitchers named by Alston. The others were Roberts, the perennial 20-game winner of the Philadelphia Phillies cur-i rently bogged down with an 8-9 record; Joe Nuxhall and Brooks Lawrence of the Cincinnati Red legs, Clem Labine of the Brook lyn Dodgers, Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves and Johnny Antonelli of the New York Giants. Score Bypassed Stengel sprung a surprise when he passed over strikeout king Herb Score of the Cleve land Indians and nine-game win ner Billy Hoeft of the Detroit Tigers in naming his pitching staff. Stengel apparently be lieves the National League line up will be heavily weighted with righthanded batters after the first three innings. The pitchers Stengel named, in addition to Pierce and Ford, are Tom Brewer and Frank Sul livan of the Boston Red Sox, Johnny Kucks of the Yankees, Jim Wilson of the White Sox, and Ray Narleski and Early Wynn of the Indians. Brewer, Kucks, Wilson and Narleski all were named for the .first time. In leaning toward Friend as his starter, Alston's reasoning was that the Pittsburgh Pirates' righthander was the key man in the Bucs' early surge. Ford has a 9-4 record while Pierce has won seven s'traight games and has a 12-2 mark The American League has lost five of the last six games but still holds a 13-9 edge in the series. This year's game will be played at Washington's Griffith Stadium where the A.L. scored an 8-3 victory in 1937. Read and Use Mail Tribune Want Ads for Quick' Results!
