It was a pitcher’s duel between the Elks Carey Dion and the Shrin- ers Dave Vernon. The Shrines took a 1.0 lead in the second inning when Jack Cru- soe homered with the sack empty. ‘The Elks came right back to tie it up in their half of the second when Richard Mesa walked and 019 026 9-7-3 ‘ 010 020 3-4-2 Vernon and Crusoe Dion and Solomon In the nightcap, Evans won their eighth straight win with a 14-5 vic-| tory over the Rotary.

Last night they fought and won their toughest battle so far as they beat the New York Yankees 8-7 in a 10-inning struggle at Yankee Stadium after the Yanks had =aped off to a 7-0 lead in the t i i A home run by Bobby Avila tied the score in the ninth and another homer, this time by Al Smith, broke it up. What made the come- back even more amazing was the sensational relief pitching of five Indian hurlers who held the Yan- kees hitless for nine full innings after a six-hit splurge in the first. This ability to fight back against a powerful rival on foreign terri- tory makes Cleveland a threat. The Indians have had con- sistently good teams the past three seasons when they’ve finished sec- ond. But they’ve lacked the spark to fight off the Yankees over the full season. Last night Early Wyng, normilly one of the club’s top pitchers, couldn’t get a man out. So his relief followers mopped up in al- most perfect fashion once the first inning was over. The victory went to Hal Newhouser, who finished with three hitless frames. By winning, the Indians pulled two games in front of the Chicago White Sox, who bowed 5-2 to Bos- ton. Baltimore pushed Philadelphia into the league cellar with a 9-1 decision. Washington defeated De- troit 7-2. Brooklyn took first place in the National League by one game over the Milwaukee Braves as they sloshed to a 7-6 decision against the Braves in five innings that consumed more than four hours, including two lengthy delays be- cause of rain. Philadelphia beat Cincinnati 7-0. It was too cold for Pittsburgh and the Cubs in Chicago and too wet in St. Louis for the Cardinals and New York. Sandy Consuegra had piled up five straight victories he ran into a storm in the very first in- ning at Boston. The White Sox right-hander was battered for four runs in the first and his mates couldn’t get even against rookie Frank Sullivan and veteran Ellis Kinder. Jaekie Jensen’s two-run triple was the big blow of the Red, Sox’ first. Joe Coleman got another chance to taunt his former teammates as he registered his fifth victory for Baltimore and his second straight over the Athletics. The Orioles clubbed 14 hits, ceasing ate best total of the season, Court- ney’s three run homer climaxed a six-run rally in the eighth. Eddie: Yost of the Senators Played his 700th consecutive game, the longest streak since Lou Geh- rig of the Yankees ran up his total of 2,130. The occasion was a suc- cessful one for the Senators, who hopped on Steve Gromek for six runs in the first four i s for an easy victory over Detroit. Curt Simmons of the Phillies scattered six Cincinnati hits in win- ning his second shutout and his fifth game. He’s been beaten four times. The Milwaukee game was held up for 1 hour and 31 minutes at the start of the third with Brooklyn ahead 2-1.
