Continuing their role of “spoill Jimmy Dykes’ seventh placers yes- terday held New York to a split in their Labor Day double-header to dump the Yankees out of first place. Taking advantage of a second| game 3-2 win after the Yankees, had copped the opener, 3-1, the Oleveland Indians regained first| place by sweeping a pair from Chi- cago’s White Sox, 5-3 and 6-1. (* The Tribe now has a half-game qead” on the Yankees but must Kkeep a wary eye out for Boston's unpredictable Red Sox, who whip- ped Washington twice, 3-2 and 8-4, to climb within four and a half games of the top. ¢ “.The Red Sox, who open a three- game series in New York tomorrow, gre very much in the thick of things #s they are only two games behind Cleveland in the important “lost” “‘column. They have played five fewer games than the Indians. Nine of fheir remaining games, however, are with the Yankees. Dodgers Rise Brooklyn’s Dodgers increased their first-place margin in the National League to six games over New York, defeating the Boston Braves twice by 7-2 scores while the Giants were dividing a pair with the Philadel- phia Phillies. The Giants won the Tightcap, 3-1, after Philadelphia had taken the opener, 6-3. Elsewhere, the St. Louis Cardi- nals stretched thelr winning streak to seven straight with 4-1 and 7-1 triumph over Cincinnati. Chi- cago and Pittsburgh split, the | Pirates earning a seven-inning 4-3 | win after the Gubsdiwd eaptured 7 lowes thonfirst game; - 1iwl8, inod@odue | nings. Detroit’s Tigers and the | St. Louis Browns divided a twin- | bill. The Tigers gained a 6-5 verdict in 13 innings only to have the Browns bounce back to win | the second game, 3-2. Little Bobby Shantz and big Bob Hooper combined to pitch Phila-4 delphia’s second-game triumph over the Yankees as the A’s continued to have a lot of fun with the conten- ders. Shantz did not permit a score until he weakened in the seventh. Three Times It marked the third time in three weeks that the A’s had shoved the Yankees off the top perch. They md it the first time Aug. 12 with a | ble victory and again on Aug. \ 19. Only last week they whipped | the Indians twice in a row to knock | them out of first place. Johnny Sain, veteran righthander, recently purchased from the Braves, | made a brilliant Yankee debut, set-‘ ting down the A’s with five hits in | the opener. i Bob Feller registered his 21st vic- tory and Steve Gromek spun a bril- liant three-hitter as the Xndlans battered five Chicago hurlers for 21 hits. a In, 10 Out on Heutian Monday T¥rwenty-eight passengers arrived oh the Aleutian northbound Mon- day with 10 embarking for the| | westward.

The Rainiers may put the pen- nant on ice tonight when they meet Oakland. One more Seattle win will sew up the championship. The Seatile rine clinciied a tie by { taking a Labor Day doubleheader from the Oaks, 5-2 and 11-7. Oak- land threatened in the scven- | inning nightcap with a 7-6 lead in the fourth inning but the | Rainiers came back in their half with three runs and added two more in the fifth. Hollvwood hopes went sliding when the Stars split a double bill with Sacramento. The Stars’ Vic Lombardi went the route against Bob Gillespie, Frankie Nelson and Harry Grubb to win the opener, 7-5, for his tenth victory. In the final, Hollywood had a 3-2 edge after five innings but the Solons mixed four hits with two errors for three tallies and the game, 5-3. Los Angeles nudged Portland out of the No. 3 spot by virtue of a 13-8 win in the opener of their doubleheader. The nightcap, called because of the time limit at the end of the seventh inning, ended in a 5-5 tie. At the bottom of the heap San Diego dumped San Francisco into the cellar again by whipping the Seals twice, 5-3 and 2-1.
