Burdette, Turley Put Braves Yanks Back on Path To Series Uniled Press International The "magic number" tor the New York Yankees is 23, and for the .Chicago White Sox that means "23 skidoo." The Yankees' 6-3 victory ever the White Sox Thurs day means that the Yanks can clinch the American league pennant by winning 23 of their remaining 33 games. Or any combination of Yankee wins' and Chica- t so losses adding to 23 will jdo it. S In the National league, the Milwaukee Braves, 'with a 6 12 game lead, also jhnve 33 to play. But their "magic number" for a pen inant clinching is 29. 1" I Br JOHN GRIFFIN i .United Press International Iew Burdette and Bob Tur ley, two money players who probably would pitch - the opening game, have the Braves and Yankees back on the high road to the World $eries. 4 Just when the comfortable league leads of . both teams eemed in danger, Burdette sent the Braves 6li games in front in the National league when he whipped the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-0 Thurs day night and Turley turned back the surging Chicago White Sox, 6-3, to put the Yankees llli ahead in the American. Burdette, who doled out four hits to the Dodgers, now has won eight games since the All-Star game. Turley allowed six Chica go hits in gaining his 18th vic tory of the year, tops in the majors and an all-time career high for him. The two right handers won real big .games on Thursday night. .Giants Loss Helped The Braves were in trou ble, with their lead down to 0V2 games and a five-game se ries with the second-place Giants right around the cor ner. But the Giants dropped an 8-1 game to Don New Combe of Cincinnati in the afternoon and that gave Bur dette his chance.

At Yankee stadium, the White Sox came in sassy to start a three-game series, rid ing a seven-game winning streak. They'd gained 51-2 games on the Yankees in the last three weeks, winning 15 out of 20, and they got off to a 1-0 first inning lead against Turley. But the Yankees crept ahead, 3-2, and then broke the game open with three big runs in the seventh on three singles, a walk, and two sacrifice flies. In other Thursday games the St. Louis Cardinals be hind Larry Jackson nipped the Philadelphia Phils, 2-1; Ernie Banks' 39th and 40th homers gave the Chicago Cubs a 5-3 win over Pitts burgh; the Boston 'Red' Sox outslugged Cleveland, 8-6; Gus Triandos homer gave Baltimore a 7-6 win over De troit; and Hec Lopez's two homers led the Kansas City A's to a 7-4 win over Wash ington. Banks Homers Twice Jackson scattered 10 hits to win for the Cards in a duel with Curt Simmons. Simmons balked home a run in the fourth inning and Gene Freeze singled home what proved to be the winner in the fifth. Newcombe, gaining only his tJird win against 11 de feat, was treated to a four run first-inning lead by the Redlegs and breezed home on a six-hitter. Banks, the major leagues' leading home run slugger, drew even with Babe Ruth's record pace for the year in which Babe hit 60. He also had a run-scoring double in a perfect 3-for-3 day. At Boston, the Red Sox stranded 16 runners, but a three run rally in the eighth inning, including a two-run homer by Dick Gernert, de cided the game. The Orioles, trailing 6-3, came up with four runs in the seventh, including Trian dos' three-run clout,- to beat the Tigers and tie them for fourth place in the A.L. Lopez' two homers for the A's gave him 12 for the sea son, seven against Washing ton. . League Leaders United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE Player & Club G. AB R. H. Musial, St.L.
