American League Still Has Race; Angels Tip Yanks By FRED DOWN UPI Sporti Writer There's still a race in the 'American league thanks to a Los Angeles Angel victory that is valued conservatively at S250.000. Yep, it means that much to head off a New York Yankee runaway. And that's just what the lighting Angels did Thursday when they salvaged the third game of their series with a 5-4, 13-inning triumph over the Yankees. A Yankee vic tory would have ended the American league race for all practical purposes. Today there's still hope in Los An geles and Minnesota - al though the Angels trail by five games and the Twins by six - and where there's hope there are cash-paying custom ers. The "money game" - for the Angels and the league -was one which would have tried the nerves of a saint -if not an Angel. Took Early Lead The Yankees breezed to a 4-0 lead in the first two in nings behind 18-game winner Ralph Terry. It looked like the same old story - a sudden Yankee push crushing their opposition in the big series. But the Angels bounced back, tying the game at 4-4 with the aid of two homers by Billy Moran and finally winning it in the 13th on Lee Thomas' single, a sacrifice and George Thomas' double. The Yankees . had loaded the bases in the 12th with none out but Dan Osinski pitched his way out of the jam. Los Angeles' victory was ''the saver" because the Min nesota Twins blew a double header to the Washington Senators, 6-4 and 6-0, and dropped six games behind the Yankees. There's hope in Minnesota . . . faint and dy ing . . . but still there because of the Angels. The Detroit Tigers downed the Cleveland Indians, 8-5. and the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics. 8-2, in other AL action. Dodgers Topped Phillies In the National league, the Los Angeles Dodgers topped the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, the San Francisco Giants shad ed the New York Mcts, 2-1, the Cincinnati Reds routed the Chicago Cubs, 14-3. the Milwaukee Braves edged the .si. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, and 'the Pittsburgh Pirates white ' washed the Houston Colts. 4-0. Tom Tresh's three-run hom er was the big blow of the Yankees' early attack on Dean Chance who nevertheless. went eight innings before giv ing way to Osinski. Bill Staf ford, who took over for the Yankees in the 12th, suffered nis eigntn loss acainst m . wins. Ken Retzcr's two-run sixth ' inning homer enabled the Senators to beat the Twins in their opener and then Don Rudolph pitched a six-hitter "in the nightcap to complete .the sweep. Bennie Daniels pitched hitless ball for five innings to win his fifth game ;in the opener. Bob Johnson and Chuck Hinton homered In the second game for the Senators.
