Sparker by the greatest present Yankee of them all--Jolting Joe Di Maggio-the New York Yankees have declared themselves back in the American League pennant race.
 DiMaggio rekindled the pennant hopes of the defending world champions in Boston yesterday with a tremendous grand-slam home run that brought the Tanks an 11-6, ten inning victory over the league-leading Red Sox.
 The Yankee Clipper socked his game -wrecking blow in the tenth inning off Earl Caldwell, fourth Boston pitcher. The blast ended a nine-game Boston winning streak.
 Caldwell dug his own grave by walking Gus Niarhos and hitting pitcher Spec Shea with a pitched ball to start the tenth. He fan ned pinch-hitter Charley Keller, walked Tommy Heinrich and struck  out rookie Hank Bauer, but he couldn't get by DiMaggio, who swatted the ball into the center field bleachers, APO feet away from home plate, to break it up. It was DiMaggios 34th homer of the sea- son and 198th of his career.
 The defeat cut the Sox lead to two and one-half games over the Tanks.
 The Indians remained game be- hind the Tanks by blitzing the Detroit Tigers, 10-1. Lefty Gene Bearden limited the visiting Tig- CTS to six hits in posting his 14th victory. Bearden also singled, doubled and drove in two runs as the Tribe whacked three Tiger pitchers for IA hits. Joe Gordon
