With a dozen games immediately ahead against the Eastern tail- enders, this looks like the big Yankee push to the top. The champs are one game be- hind Cleveland at the moment, but now it’s the Indians’ turn to take on the Western powers. New York is the only team in what the American Legaue calls East — Baltimore is West — above sixth place.

Eddie Mathews helped out with his seventh home Tun, this one with one aboard. A single by center fielder Dick Hall with the bases loaded in the fifth drove in the two runs the Pirates needed to beat Cincinnati. Chico Carrasquel, the White Sox shortstop, got the shakes against the Yarkees in the last two innings and the Yanks came from behind to win. In the eighth, with a man on first, Chico let Hank Bauer’s double-play grounder roll through his legs and Bauer later scored the tying run on Yogi Berra’s single. In the ninth with one out and runners on first and third Enos Slaughter hit to Carrasquel, who had the choice of throwing to the te or starting a double play. jut he fumbled the ball and by the time he recovered his only play was a force at second while-the run came home from Bob Lemon picked up victory No. 6 for Cleveland as he allowed the Red Sox just four hits. Two errors by Milt Bolling gave the Indians two unearned runs in the eighth. Detroit overcame the Athletics in the ninth when Al Kaline singled after the ‘Tigers’ had ‘oaded the bages without a hit.

The loss dropped the Shrin- ers to the cellar in the American Little League. The game started to be a pitch- ing duel between Williams and Bill Vaughn of the Shriners, but Vaughn developed a sore arm in the third and had to leave the game. Ray Morales, who relieved Vaughn in the third, was not as effective and the Jaycees jumped on him for three runs in the third on a walk, singles by Krause and Shields and a double by Bob Harris. The Jay- cees placed the game within reach of the Shriners with a five run explosion in the fourth on three errors and four hits. Three errors, four hits — one a three run homer by Harris — accounted for seven runs for the Jaycees to assure Wil- liams of the win. The Shriners picked up their three runs in the fourth on a walk, a double by Dave Lvernon, a triple by Buddy Mora, and an infield out. Harris led the Jaycees attack with a homer, a double, and a sin- gle in four tries to drive in four runs.

An error in the last of the fifth enabled Evans Enterprises to edge out the Lions, 7-6, in the second game of the doubleheader. The win was the fifth straight and increas- ed their league lead to two and a half games. $ The Lions took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an error, a stolen base, and Nilo Garcia’s infield hit. Two errors and Armando Mira’s single increased the Lions lead ta 3-0 in the third, but Evans came back in their half of the third and picked up two runs without the aid of a hit. Evans took a 5-3 lead in the four- th on a hit batsman, a walk, a sin- gle by Joe Santana, and Richard {Garcia’s third homer of the sea- son, In the top of the fifth, the Lions came up with 3 runs on a walk, an error, and singles by Garcia and Mira, but in the last of the fifth, Evans struck back to win the game.

Santana has received 20 walks to be first in that department also. Henriquez has driven in 22 runs this year, but is followed closely By Lastres and Eloy Rodriguez with 20 each.
