Yanks Split

To Double Win Over Boston
Red Sox; Detroit Idle
By TED MEIER
Associated Press Sportswriter
The second place Yankees of
the American league who are
kicking the ball around on their
current western trip, reached the
point yesterday where they
booted a chance to set a new
major league record for leaving
men on base. The Yanks have
committed 17 errors in nine
games.
Going into the eighth Inning
of the second game with the
White Sox at Chicago's Comis
key park, it seems a cinch the
McCarthymen would wipe out
the present mark of 18 strati-
dees. They had 16 runners ma-
i ni inu,, first mm innings.
In the eighth, however, only
one man was left and Bud
Metheny cut short even a chance
to tie the record by grounding
,, a double play in the ninth
which retired the Yanks with
the sacks clean,

made five errors. Four runs in

made it a runaway for Jimmy

Chicago, although losing the
