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.

Now roadside tire changes are practically
a thing of the past with all new 3-T NYLON
CAPTIVE-AIR Safety Tire
(Ej CDXID QDE ALU
ProveP by dramatic
YUiviA to PHOENIX test!
204 miles on four blown-out
tires without mishap or delay.
Only Goodyear has the Captive-Air because only Goodyear
has a tire body made with triple-tempered 3-T Nylon Cord.
The brawny nylon built-in ' spare" carries .you safely and
comfortably, after a blowout or puncture, until you can stop
and have the tire repaired. CaptiverAir has all but eliminated
the hazards of tire failure in heavy traffic, on super highways,
on crowded bridges and in narrow tunnels at well as costly
towing and road repairs.
Here's a test that proves the Captive-Air principle . . .
1
Our four tires have been deliberately blown out. We're let to leave
civilization. From now on it's nothing but scorching desert. That
120 sun fires the road into a smoldering, blistering hot plate. But
we're safe with the multi-ply Nylon "inner tires" of the Captive-Air.
The. Old Spanish Trail is no
place to be left stranded with
a tire failure. But we're not
worried not-with Goodyear'
double air chamber principle
protecting us.
Home safe . . . not a second of
inconvenience . . '. and'we did
it on four blown-out Captive
Air Safety tires. No damage
to the tires other than the cut
we made at the start of the run.
Here's how Captive-Air Works!
Only the air in the
outer chamber escapes
when the tire it ctt,
tom, punctured, or
blown out.
Reserve air in the
built-in "spare" lets
you drive on for 100
milet or morel
