Yanks Retake First Place;
Win Two in Extra innings
By FRED DOWN
United Press 'international
- Casey Stengel's humming
everytmng's goin' my way
"today because the Yankess are
back in first place and even
the umpires are helping 'em
out.
The Yankees vaultsd into a
one-game American league
Olead when they scored a pair
of extra inking 3-2 victories
over the Detroit Tigers (Tues
day and the Baltimore OTioles
beat the Chicago White Sox
6-2. Third-string catcher John
ny Blanchard had the hero's
role to himself in the opener
but Stengel, Bob Cerv and
Umpire John Flaherty shared
the laurels in the nightcap.
The sweep stretched the
Yankees' winning streak to
four games and gave them a
three game edge over the
White Sox in the important
"lost column." O
The Pittsburg Pirates
opened a three-game lead in
the National league wheruthey
downed the Los AJigeles
Dodgers, 3-0. Vern Law heat
the Dodgers for the fourth
straight time this season a .ft
scored his 14th victory.
Senators Defeat Indians
The Washington Senators
defeated the Cleveland In
dians, and the Kansas
City Athleiics beat the Boston
Red Sox, KM, in oilier Amer
ican League games while the
St. Louis Cardinals topped the
MHWUukce Braves, 4-2,'-'the
Philadelphia (Chillies swept
the San Francisco Giants, 7-3
and 6-5, and the Chicago Cubs
edg)l the Cincgjnati Reds,
5-3, in other Pational Oeague
action.
The Yankees used their
late-inning lightning to win
both games. Blanchard drove
in two runs with a homer and
two singles, including the
payoff blow in the 14th injjng
o
of the opener, and CeiQ won
the 10-inning night game with
a homer after Roger Maris'
two-run circuit produced a 2-2
tie in the ninth. q o
Cerv would never have
batted in the 10th, howQer,
unless Flaherty had invoked

Philadelphia -(UPII- The San
Francisco Gi2ts tonight try
to bounce back after a disas
trous series opener that saw
the plucky Philadelphia Phils
sweep a double header and
just about squash Giant pen
nant dreams for 1960.
It's a long drive to the top
for the Giants and just a short
putt to permanent second di
vision status for the fifth-place
San Franciscans are now sev
en games behind first-place
Pittsburgh and a full two
games to the rear of fourth
place Los Angeles.
A howling crowd of 26,273
watched the Phils cagjure 7-3
and 6-5 wins in a hot humid
night.
Nothing went right for the
San Franciscans. They strand
ed 13 men on the basepaths
in one game; third-sacker
Joey Amalfitano was beaned;
the rookie sensation Juan
Marichal was knocked out of
the box for the first time; and
those two glaring Giant weak
nesses - defense and relief
hurling -gere in prominent
evidence.
Some sloppy fielding bjOOr
lando Cepeda in the third in
ning of the opener helped the
Phils grab a 1-1 lead. But with
two men down in the fifth,
the roof fell in on Giant start-
