Indians Beat Yanks The “Hard Way” With Late Inning Rally _Chisox Down Boston To Gain Control By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer New York Yankee fans who have been waiting patiently, but confi- dently for Cleveland to fold look as if they are in for a long wait ‘The Indians have two games left today and tomorrow in their cur- rent invasion of Yankee Stadium but they could lose both of them by 20 runs and still leave town Sunday night with first place in| ™M They beat the New Yorkers 8-2 last night and they did it the hard way, coming from two runs behind while allowing the Yankees 14 hits. But it was a victory that left no doubt the Indians are dead serious about this pennant business. The idea that ali they have to do is wait and the Indian menace eventually will disappear bas be- come firmly implanted in the minds of the Yankee followers although the records don’t lend much support to the theory. It’s true the Indians have settled for second best the past three sea- sons and during that spell they found no sure way to halt the Yankees. But only in 1951 were the Indians in first place this late in the race. That season Cleveland climaxed a drive from sixth by leading for three weeks late in August. But the climb wore out the Indians and they faded five games off the pace in September. This time it’s the Yankees who | 5% are trying to reach the top and last night’s game was a sample of the troubles they’ve been having. They left 12 men stranded and Ed- die Lopat failed to last for the eighth straight game. Al Smith was the hitting star for the Indians, breaking up a tie game with a three-run homer in the seventh and then driving in two more with a bases-loaded sin- gle in the ninth. In other action in the American League the Chicago White Sox de- feated Boston 17-1; Baltimore pushed Philadelphia into last place with a 7-5 victory and Washing- ton beat Detroit 8-3, leaving the Senators only two percentage points out of first division. The New York Giants lost their second straight game — the first time since May 29-30 they’ve been beaten twice running — and sec- ond place Brooklyn also lost. , Milwaukee edged the Giants 3-2. St. Louis defeated Brooklyn 6-4. Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 7-4 and Chicago and Philadelphia split a doubleheader. Cnicago won the first game 5-2. The Phils took the second, 5-3 in 13 innings. Two crowd records were set. The season’s largest gathering, 61,446, watched the Indians win. The 45,056 who sat in on Milwaukee’s victory, established an all-time County Stadium record. The Braves fans saw their fa- vorites win on a pinch single with two out in the ninth by Bobby Thomson, who was making his first appearance against his for- mer New York teammates. Thom- son’s hit was his third in four of- ficial times at bat since he broke his ankle in spring training. Bob Buhl flashed his form of last sea- son in going the distance for his second success. Rookie Joe Cunningham helped Vic Raschi win his first game since June 15 as he drove in three runs with a homer and a double. Gil Hodges and Sandy Amoros hom- ered for Brooklyn. Danny Schell of the Phils hit a home run in the first game and breke up the second in Chicago with a bases-loaded single in the | Osi, 13th inning. Howie Pollet, making his first appearance since July 11, was the first game winner. Robin Roberts picked up the second game decision in relief. Sei The Pirates’ victory was their first this season in Cincinnati. Sid Gordon broke up a 4-4 tie with a pinch homer in the seventh inning. Chico Carrasquel collected three hits as the White Sox began pick- ing up the pieces after losing three of four to the Yankees. Harry Dor- ish picked up the decision with flawless relief support from Virgil Trucks after seven innings. The Senators climbed on Al Aber of the Tigers for five runs in the first inning and Chuck Stobbs nev- er gave Detroit a chance to catch up. Roy Sievers hit a two-run homer, his 16th, for Washington. The Orioles, losers in 15 of their last 17 games, found some one they could beat when they tangled with the Athletics.

The Baltimore event, which was to have been held next week with many of the nation’s top stars competing, was wiped out abrupt- ly the other day, without any of- ficial reason being given. From authoritative sources, however, it was learned that several of the big names were demanding more expense money than the traffic would bear, one of them having estimated that it would cost him $400 just to live in Baltimore that week, Whatever the cause, there goes another to join the list of long- famous tennis fixtures that have given up the struggle in recent years — Seabright, Southampton, and Spring Lake among others. There will be no tournament for the boys to play in next week, and at last report they were scrambl- ing about trying to line up some Al Smith Paces Tribe To Win Over Yanks By JACK HAND NEW YORK ™ — If Cleveland beats out the New York Yankees for the pennant, a man named Al Smith could be the reason. The 26-year-old Negro outfielder from Kirkwood, Mo., drove in five runs in last night’s 82 Cleveland Tomp over the Yankees with a three-run homer and a two-run single. His third-inning double didn’t do anything but boost his average. Earlier in the year, Smith hit a home run off Johnny Sain that climaxed a long uphill struggle by the Tribe after the Yanks had taken a big early lead. Reporters asked Manager Al Lopez what he thought was the biggest improvement in the 1954 Tribe over the clubs that ran second in the last three years. “Y’'d say Smith was our biggest improvement,” he said. “He’s a real good ball player, now. Smith and our secondary pitching from fellows like Art Houtteman, Hal Newhouser, Bob Feller and Ray Narleski.” The score was tied 2-2 with two men on when Smith drove one of 338 | Eddie Lopat’s pitches deep into the lower left field seats in the seventh inning. He didn’t even know what he hit. “He throws one on the outside, | another on the inside and then gives you a slider or a screw- ball,” Smith said.

The players finally are becom- ing frightened at what they have done to a good thing. Sidney Wood Jr., president of the Tennis Play- ers League, has called a special meeting of that body July 30 for the purpose of seeking to effect “drastic corrective measures” against the “unwarranted de- mands” of the chief culprits. It’s about time, but from long experience with tennis players we are moved to doubt that anything can come of the league’s belated effort. The sham of amateur ten- nis has existed too long, with the knowledge and acquiescence of the game’s officials, for any drastic re- forms to be made now. The top stars, accustomed to liy- ing well on their special talents, are not going to agree to any pro- posal that they reduce their take- home pay to conform with that of their rank-and-file brothers in sport, who get knocked out in the first and second rounds. They know all too well that the leading lady draws a fatter pay envelope than the members of the chorus line. All Star Teams Vie For Title The highest honor for Key West submarine softballers is to be Sub- marine Refitting and Training Group champions. Starting Monday | evening at 8 o’clock, all-star teams, representing each of the local sub- marine squadrons, will meet in a best two out of three game series. Naval Station Field 2 has been selected for the proposed series. A large number of Naval personnel are expected for this last local championship meet. The second game will be played Tuesday night and the third, if needed, Wednesday. From these two all-star squads the Key West representative will be picked for the forthcoming Sub- marine Force Atlantic Fleet Soft- ball tourney.
