the first time since their 1939-40
pennant ears.
The go-go White Sox opened
up a three-game lead in the
American league on Thursday
when Dick Donovan and Billy
Pierce pitched and batted them
to 9 6-4 and 2-1 victories over
the Cleveland, Indians.
The Redlegs retained their
game and a half margin in the
National league when all three
top contenders split double
headers. The Redlegs beat the
St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, after a
7-2 defeat; the Brooklyn Dodg
ers scored a 4-3 victory and then
lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates,
2-1, and the Milwaukee Braves

other A.L. games. The New
Yorll Giants rebounded from a
10-inning. 2-1 defeat to whip the
Philadelphia Phillies, 8-1, in the
othej N.L. game.
Donovan scattered 11 hits and
drove in three runs with three
singles for the White Sox in the
opener and then Pierce notched
his eighth win of the season
with a three-hitter. The little lef
ty, who has allowed only one
earned run in his last 29 innings
and leads the majors in victor
ies, singled home the winning
run in the fifth inning. Bud Da
ley and Mike Garcia were the
losing pitchers for the Indians.
Bobby Shantz pitched a five
hitter for his fifth win for the
Yankees after Camilo Pascual
beat the world champions for
the first time in his career with
a six-hitter. Andy Carey sparked
the Yankees' nine-hit attack in
the nightcap while Jim Lemon
homered for Washington in the
first game.
Jackie Jensen walloped a 10th
inning homer to give the Red
Sox their opening-game win and
drove in three runs with a hom
er, double and single to lead
Boston's 16-hit attack in the sec
ond game. Bob Porterfield won
his first garrie as a result of Jen
sen's homer and Dave Sisler
weathered 12 Baltimore hits for
his fourth triumph.
Pitcher Lou Sleater, batting
for the first time this season,
won his own game with a 10th
inning homer for Detroit and
Frank Boiling hit two homers to
help Paul Foytack post his fifth
victory in the nightcap. Gus Zer
nial smashed his 10th homer of
for the A's.
Moon Extends Streak
Gus Bell's three-run seventh
inning homer was the big blow
for the Redlegs in their nightcap
after Willard Schmidt's four
hitter gave St. Louis an opening
decision. Tom Acker, with relief
