THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1950 YANKEES NOWl INTOP SPOT IN AAMER. LEAGUE (By Associated Press) If Casey Sengel fell into a city sewer he would probably come up owning an cil well. The Puckish pilot of the New York Yankees, who incidentally owns several oil wells, is one of the canniest managers in the business. He also is a great guy for hunches. Hunches that clicked helped the Yankees sweep a doubleheader from Cleveland yesterday and boost them to the top in the seething American League race. The Yankees needed some clutch hitting by Johnny Mize, Phil Riz- zuto and Tommy Henrich. The fine pitching of Tom Ferrick and Ed Lo- pat also played a large part in the 4-3 and 3-0 victories that gave them a one-game lead over the De- troit Tigers. Hunch No. 1 But if Casey hadn’t followed his hunches those things might never have happened. Until an hour before play began, Stengel wasn't sure whether he to score Sam Mele. The Tigers had to tally three runs in the ninth to come from behind and win the se- cmld game, 10-8. It marked the first time the Tigers |had been out of first place since Red Sox stormed into third place, a game and a half in front of Cleveland, by whipping the Chicago White Sox, 6-1. It was Boston’s 15th win in 16 starts. Veteran Joe Dobson turned in his 14th victory. Philadelphia’s pennant - hungry Phillies increased their lead in the National to six and a half games over Brooklyn. The Phils rallied for three runs in the ninth to come from behind and nip the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-8. Dick Whitman’s pinch double with the bases loaded and Jimmy Bloodworth’s scoring fly produced the three runs. Dodgers Downed The Chicago Cubs downed the Dodgers, 6-5. Vern Bickford coasted to his 17th triumph as the Boston Braves pounded out a 9-4 win over Cincin- nati. Sal Maglie pitched the New York Giants to a five-hit, 4-0 shutout over Pittsburgh. The St. Louis Browns shoved the Philadelphia Athletics into the league cellar by taking both ends of their doubleheader.
