WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1 27 N N [2 P 9 i o m— O ——— S WA W M DETROIT ‘MOVES UP ONLEAD American L;a_g;ue Pennant| Race Becomes Four Cornered Affair By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer Watch out, New York! Shove over, Cleveland and Boston. Make room for another claimant to the American League throne—the dash- ing Detroit Tigers. A week ago, the odds manipula- tors had written off the pennant chances of the Tigers. A three-team race it was, they said. Today, these same odd-makers are issuing a new line with Detroit given a chance to cop, albeit a slim one. They enhanced their chancess: considerably last night when the}" turned back the Yankees, 10-2, in the league leaders’ back yard. The victory gave the fourth place Bengals a record of 13 triumphs in] their last 18 games. It moved them within seven and a half games of the top. 3 Hal Newhouser, who had railerll in six straight July attempts to| notch his 1lth victory, finally made it with a 10-hit performance against the Yankees. The Tigers backed Newhouser's pitching with a 14-hit attack which Llasted Allie Reynolds from thel hill, The Indians whipped weary Washington, 8-1, as Early Wynn held his former mates to nine scat- tered hits for his ninth victory. | The Red Sox tallied once in thel last half of the ninth to, eke out | a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Browns. Dom DiMaggio singled to open the frame, got around to third, and scored the deciding run when Vern Stephens rolled down the first base line while trying to duck a pitch by Ned Garver. The hit extended DiMag’s consecutive hitting streak through 29 games. The Philadelphia Athletics ended a three-game losing streak and a 27-inning scoreless drought, defeat- ing the Chicago White Sox, 5-2. The St. Louis Cardinals retained their half game advantage over Brooklyn in the National League race, coming from behind to defeat the Boston Braves, 7-2. Red Mun- ger pitched a five-hitted for his 10th victory. Stan Musial led the 11-hit attack with a double, triple and single. 1 The Brooklyn Dodgers downedl the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2, behind | the five-hit pitching of Rex Bar- ney. Gil Hodges hit a home run and double to drive in three Dodger runs. Bob Chesnes was the loser. The Cincinnati Reds exploded with 15 hits to swamp the Phila- delphia Phils, 11-3. In the only afternoon contest, the New York Giants shut out the Chicago Cubs, 3-0, for their fifth consecutive victory. LEADERS IN B. B.
