 New York, July 24-CUP)-It was simply well-pitched to 0 victory in II innings over the Yankees but it gave Blinky Bill Dietrich of the Chicago White Sox as big thrill as the no-hit, no run game he twirled back in 1887.
 It was a victory of vindication for the 35-year-old right handler, who has been beaten 19 times by the Yankees during his long Amer ican league career. And it couldn't have come at a more opportune time. The Bombers were dropped into second division for the first time since mid-June of last season while Mgr. Joe Mccarthy remained away from the club, contemplating his resignation.
 Moreover, it put the Chi-sockers into the intensifying heat of the pennant race in third place, just a game and a half behind the slumping Senators and four games behind the pace-setting but totter- ing Tigers.
 To get back into contention after an early-season collapse that boded a second division, finish is sweet revenge for the White Sox because it was the Yankee club which started them on the skids. When Chicago last was here, it was lead ing the league but four straight losses to the Yankees started a decline that led to the second di- vision.
 Yesterdays victory, a seven-hit- ter for the bespectacled Dietrich, was a far cry from his no-hitter of eight years ago against the Browns. But for a pitcher who led the league in defeats last year with IT, it represented a fine recovery, giving him his fifth win against three losses in the current cam- paign. The White Sox won when Oris Hockett hit a scratch single to send home Johnny Dickshot. Bill zuber had walked Dickshot and after throwing two wild pitches, walked Tony Cuccinello. Then Zuber slipped in trying to handle Hockett's dribbler.
 BobO and Ed
 Also helping to button up" the race were Louis (Bobo) Newsom, the "turnabout" pitcher of the As, and unsung Ed Klieman of the In- dians, who knocked of the leading Tigers and the runner-up Senators in night games.
 Newsom, who has won four straight games after dropping 12 in row. topped the Tigers with to o four-hit job. On top of that he drove in the only run of the game with 8 single in the second of Frank Overmire to bring home George Kell, who had doubled. Tn his four winning efforts he has given up just IA hits.
 Klieman also pitched and batted his way to victory, beating the Sen- ators at Washington, 2 to l. He doubled home Frankie Hayes with the first run in the fifth and Hayes followed up by singling in Jeff Heath in the sixth. He yielded only f1ve hits while John Niggeling and Alex Carrasquel of the Senators gave up 12.
 The Pirates made 17 hits, includ- ing homers by Jim Russell, Bob El- liott and Bill Salkeld in an 8 to victory over the Braves at Pitts burgh. It was the fourth victory in row for the Bucs and the sixth in their last seven. Tommy Holmes, holder of the new National League consecutive games batting mark. dropped out of the lead as top hit- ter in the majors after going hit- less In his fourth straight game. He now has been at bat ie straight times without . hit. Walter (Doon, boom) Beck gained the victory In . relief role. his second straight since joining the Pirates.
 There were no other games in either league.
