NEW YORK. Sept. Is. (UP) -
The business of clinching the AM
erican league pennant was very
toscly subject with the New York
Yankees today. They had hoped
to have the pennant all wrapped
up in pretty package for delivery
by now. Instead, they are in an
insidious slump and still need three
victories.
The Yanks lost their third straight
yesterday, bowling to Buck Newsom
and the Tigers, 6-l.
The Red Sox made a gallant
rally to try to overcome the In
dianS but stubbed their toes just
one run short and lost, 81. Cleve-
land had TO lead going into the
sixth. The Red Sox put on a five
run rally and followed it up with
two more tallies in the seventh.
Campbell and Grimes led the tribes
attack with four hits each. ~
Dutch Leonard scored his 18th
victory by pitching Washington to
a 81 victory over the Browns,
yielding only six hits.
The Athletics beat the White Sox
Az, in 10 innings when Dee Miles
hit homer with mate on base
in the extra frame. Nelson Potter
held the White SoX to three hits
but one of them was a homer by
Steinbacher with a mate on in
the first inning.
Cincinnati knocked off its jinx
team, the Giants, twice, 8-5 and
go to increase its National league
lead to four games. Paul Derringer
allowed u hits in winning his 2lst
game. The Reds knocked Carl Hub
bell out of the box in two innings,
scoring five runs, and got 13 hits
off three pitchers in the nightcap.
The st. Louis Cardinals won their
third straight, Walloping the Bos-
ton Bees, 6-3.
The Chicago Cubs won both ends
of their double bill from the Phila-
delphia Phillies, 13-1 and So.
Brooklyn broke even with Pitts
burgh, losing the opener, 4-3, and
taking the nightcap, 8-4. Pete Co.'S
