Page 6 ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Yanks Maintain 2 1-2 Game Edge Golf Tourney After DefeatingWashington Twice Friday. Dodgers Win By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer If the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees clash in the 1952 World Series it will mark the ful- fillment of an old basebail tradition for the first time in three years. According to tradition, National and American League teams hold- ing first place after games of July 4 will win the pennant. Both the Dodgers and Yanks lead their respective leagues today but they’re not counting the World Geries cash yet. Last year the Dodgers led the National League | on ‘the 4th and Chicago showed | the way in the American. Both | teams missed the boat. In 1950 | Detroit was out in front in the | American and Philadelphia in the National. The Phils made it but the Tigers lost out. Brooklyn celebrated Independ- ence Day by turning back the runnerup New York Giants, 5-1, in the opener of a doubleheader. The game was called after eight in- nings because of rain and the sec- ond game was postponed. The tri. umph gained at the expense of Sal Maglie, an old nemesis, moved the Brookr three games ahead. The Yanks safeguarded their 2/4 game edge by tripping Washington 9-4 and 4-3, while the second-place Chicago White Sox defeated the St. Lou's Browns, 3-1 and 2-0, and the third-place Cleveland Indians trounced Detroit, 11-0 and 10-1. The Boston Red Sox whacked Phila- delphia, 10-5, but the A’s bounced back to win the second game, 4-3. Pittsburgh, the St. Louis Cardi nals and he Boston Braves all won doubleheaders in the National League. The Pirates brushed back Cincinnati, 4-2 and 5-2, the Cards whipped Chicago, 13-7 and 4-1, to take over third place from the Cubs and the Braves downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1 and 3-2. Maglie, who boasted a string of eight straight victories over Brook- lyn including three shutouts this Season, lasted only two innings. He walked home a run in the first and was tagged for a 2-run homer in the secnd by Pee Wee Reese. It took the Yanks nearly eight hours to take the Senators to the cleaners before 26,528 fans includ- ing President Truman. The opener was held up two hours and 14 minutes because of rain. The Yanks stashed this game away with three runs in the seventh inning. The second game also was de- cided in the seventh, the Yanks scoring three runs following a ho ly disputed play. Washington Man- ager Bucky Harris and Catcher Mickey Grasso bitterly protested Umpire Ed Hurley's ruling that a grounder by Yogi Berra was a fair ball. Senator First Baseman was foul, didn’t step on the base. Joe Collins scored from third on the play to tie the score at 2-2 and the Yanks tallied two more bottles and other missiles at Hur- ley. Grasso was tossed from the game and play was held up for five minutes. TEN ADVANTAGES (Continued from Page One) fountain as if designed to invite private meditation.
