4 6 Essegian Stars as Indians Top Yanks Twice To Gain Loop Lead By JOE SARGIS UPI Sporti VVritor Chuck Essegian, the chunky outfielder with the musical name, came to the Cleveland Indians for a song, and from the way eh's rapping the ball of late iff the prettiest tune heard anywhere by manager Mel McGaha. In fact, Essegian, who wasn't counted on for regular duty when the season began, is wielding such a hot bat that he is making it downright difficult for the platoon-con scious McGaha to keep him out of the starting lineup. Chuck, a failure with five different major league clubs before the Indians got him from the Kansas City Ath letics a year ago for pitcher Julius Grant, hit a key home run and single Sunday to lead Cleveland to a 6-4 and 8-5 sweep over the New York Yankees and into first place in the American league. Essegian had five hits in eight at-bats during the long afternoon to boost his batting average to .375, his home run total to four and his runs batted in to 11 in 17 games. Wins Sixth Gam Dick Donovan went all the wuy in the opener to register his sixth victory without a loss. It also was the veteran right-hander's second win of the year over the Yankees, whom the Indians now have beaten five times in seven games. The second-game vic tory went to Barry Latman, second of three Cleveland pitchers. The Indians tagged wnitey Ford for nine of their 11 hits in the opener, John Romano hitting a three run homer right at the start to make things easier for Donovan. Essegian hit his homer In the fifth after the Yankees had cut the deficit to 3-2. Jerry Kindall's three - run homer in the second game started the Indians on a come back after the Yankees had built up a 5-0 lead. Essegian's sixth inning single broke a B-5 tie and Cleveland went on from there to nail down the second game and take a half game lead In the AL. The Minnesota Twins rout ed the Kansas City Athletics, . 10-3; the Chicago White Sox rallied for seven runs in the eighth Inning to beat the Los Angeles Angels, 15-6: the Bal timore Orioles beat the Wash ington Senators, 3-2, on a dis puted homer, and the Detroit Tigers nipped the Boston Red Sox, 6-5, in other AL games. Giants Win Again In the National league, the first place San Francisco Giants downed the Houston ' Colls, 7-2; the Los Angeles Dodgers took advantage of loose St. Louis play to beat FELONY IN THE FOREST SMOKEY talks a lot about for est tires started by carelessness, What you don't hear so much about are the forest tires that are set, on purpose, by your neigh bors.

Vic Power drove in five runs with a grand-slam homer and a single to lead the third place Twins to their win over Kansas City. Rookie Joe Bonikowski went the route in his first major league start. Power's blast came off Dan Pfister in the seventh, but A's starter Norm Bass, chased in the sixth, was the loser.

J I" tti third victory. Earl Robinson's ninth - inning homer, which toughed off a dispute over whether it was fair or foul, was the margin of difference in Baltimore's victory. Brook Robinson also homered for the Orioles and Jimmy Piersall hit one for the Senators. Jack Sanford, who had a shutout after eight innings gave up only six Houston hits in registering his fourth vic tory for the Giants, who re mained four games ahead of the Dodgers in the NL race. Orlando Cepeda and Jim Davenport each got three hits to pace the San Francisco at tack. The Dodgers, held to only two hits by Larry Jackson through the seventh, scored all their runs the following inning. A two-run error by the usually reliable Ken Boyer opened the way. John Rose- boro s sacrifice fly accounted for the winning run and handed Jackson his fourth loss against three wins. Los An geles used three pitchers in the last two innings to hold the lead as starter Johnny Podres picked up his third win.

Bob Pur key went all the way to gain his sixth victory without a loss. Jim Marshall'! three-run third inning homer was the big Pittsburgh blow. Frank Boiling's two run homer in the eighth, a "wrong field" blow that traveled only 257 feet, and an equally short homer by Roy McMillan ac counted for all the Milwaukee runs against the Mets: Before the game began, manager Birdie Tebbetts read the riot act to the Braves, who had dropped a twin -bill to the Mets on Saturday. The Cubs hit six home runs three In each game - to move past the Mets into ninth place.
