Newspaper Page Text6 Berra Drives Home Six Runs As Yanks Bop Ghisox 12-6 Br MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Yogi Berra claims he's having a "lousy year," but it's still plenty good enough to give the Yankees a pennant lift every time they seem to need it most. By most standards this hasn't been a particularly good year for Yogi. He's b?Jting only .248 and that figure hardly appears to command the $65,000 the Yankees are paying him this year. The White Sox, however, are convinced he's worth every pen ny of it, especially after what he did to them Tuesday night. Berra batted in six runs, break ing Chicago's back with a three- run homer in the eighth inning that snapped a 6-all tie and powered the Yanks to a 12-6 victory. Yanks Pad Lead Yogi's 20th homer, which rep resented only one of his four hits, also halted a six-game Chi cago winning streak and a growing impression that the White Sox might overtake- the Yankees in the American league race. By winning, the Yankees increased their lead to 4Vi games. The Red Sox defeated the Ti gers, 7-5, in 11 innings; Cleve land edged Baltimore, 5-4, and Kansas City beat Washington, 3-1. Over in the National league the Milwaukee Braves continued their march toward the World Series with a 4-3 triumph over the Giants. The Cubs beat the Dodgers, 8-4; Cincinnati licked Philadelphia, 5-2, and the Pi rates defeated the Cardinals, 2-1, after St. Louis scored an 11-2 win in the completion of a game suspended on July 21. Dick Gernert supplied the winning blow for Boston In the 11th when he smacked a two run single off Duke Maas. The hit scored Jackie Jensen and Ted Williams, who collected his 32nd homer and a single in four trips to the plate, raising his league-leading average to .380. Burdetta Gets 14th Early Wynn scattered eight hits in notching his 14th victory of the season for the Braves with the help of rookie Don McMahon, who retired the last six batters in order. It was Mil waukee's fifth victory in the lest seven games. Ernie Banks drove in five runs with his 30th home run and a double as rookie Dick Droit of the Cubs registered his first victory over the Dodgers. Drott had to be bailed out by Turk Lown in the ninth after 'the Brooks scored two runs. Don Newcombe suffered his 11th defeat. Gil Hodges homer ed for the Dodgers, who drop ped eight games off the pace. Muiial Increases Streak Bob Thurman, recalled from the minors Monday, blasted a hree-run homer in the ninth to jielp the Redlegs snap a three game losing streak. Lindy McDaniel was credited with his 11th victory in the Cards-Pirates suspended game which was resumed in the ninth inning. By serving as a pinch runner, Stan Musial added 33 games to his consecutive playing streak which came to a halt last Friday at 895 games, a NL record. Bob Friend held the Cardin als to five hits for his 10th vic tory in the regularly scheduled game.
