Yanks Riding Uigh In American; Los Angeles Adds To Coast Lead New York Far Ahead At Recess n ., Tka Aunelated Press The red hot New York Yankee are riding an eight-game winning streak today and enjoy an eight game margin over Detroit and Bos ton In the American league Hag chase but don't mention "world series" to Manager Bucky Harris. Harris, with fingers crossed be hind his back, won't say the Yanks are "In" until he knows for sure that the clubs behind him are playing for the second place marbles only. As both leagues recessed for the next three days, because of the all Star game Tuesday lu Chicago, Bucky's Yanks were the talk of the baseball world. Joe Page and Allie Reynolds came through with some fine pitching yesterday as the Yanks pleased a throng of 51557 home fans by de feating Connie Mack's pesky Phila delphia Athletics in both ends of a double-header, 8-9 and 9-2. i While the Yanks are moving serenely along in the American league, the National league dog tight finds the Brooklyn Dodren on top today with the Boston Brave second by a game and the New York Giant third, one-and- one-bai.' games away. The Dodgers took the lead away from the Braves by beating them, 4-0 behind the three-hit pitching of Ralpn Branca at Ebbets field. Thi Giants failed to connect for a homer for the first time in their last 17 games but they took the measure of the Phils. 4-3 in a single encounter at Philadelphia. Larry J arisen limited the Phils to seven safeties, including a round tripper by Del Ennis, in gaining his seventh win. Detroit and Boston both won double-headers to remain virtually tied for second place in the Ameri can league. The Tigers are one per centage point ahead of the Sox. The Tigers defeated the Browns, 10-3 and 8-4 In St. Louis while the Sox trounced the Washington Sena tors, 7-4 and 10-1 in Boston. Two four-baggers by Pat Mullin and one each by Dick Wakefield and Roy Cullenbine featured the Tigers' first game win. Cullenbine starred in the nightcap, hitting a homer in the seventh and singling home two runs during a five-run ninth inning rally that won the game. The Chicago White Sox split a bargain bill with the visiting Cleve land Indians, winning the opener. 3-2. behind the six-hit pitching of Eddie Lopat and losing the after math, 5-1. The St Louis Cardinals moved from alith to fourth place in the National league by blanking the Reds twice, 3- and 2- at Cincin nati. The defeats dropped the Reds to sixth, a half game behind the Chicago Cubs, who tumbled from fourth to fifth by losing a double-header to the Pirates In Pittsburgh, t-t and 10-1. Home runs by Jim Bloodworth, Hank Oreenberg and Frank Ous tine helped Ernie Bonham register a Pirate victory In the opener while the six-hit pitching of Frits Oster mueller featured the nightcap win.
