YANKEES NOW
IN TOP SPOT IN
AMER. LEAGUE
tBy Associated Press

If Casey Sengel fell into a city
sewer he would probably come up
owning an oil well.
The Puckish pilot of the New
York Yankees, who incidentally
owns several oil wells, is one OF the
canniest managers in the business.
He also is a great guy for lunches.
lunches that clicked helped the
Yankees sweep doubleheader from
Cleveland yesterday and boost them
to the top in the seething American
League race.
The Yankees needed some clutch
hitting by Johnny Mize, Phil Riz-
zuto and Tommy Heinrich. The fine
pitching of Tom Ferrick and Ed Lo-
pat also played a large part in
the 4-3 and 80 victories that gave
them a one-game lead over the De-
troit Tigers.
Hunch No. 1 81
But if Casey hadn't followed his
lunches those things might never
have happened.
Until an hour before play began
Stengel wasn't sure whether he
was going to play Mize at first base
Then Stengel recalled that Mize had
hit couple of homers off Bob Eel
Ter, who was due to pitch for Cleve-
land in the opener.
All the former Giant slugger did
was slam a pair Of homerS, one in
each game.
Another Hunch
Hunch No. 2 came in the eighth
inning of the first game. Eddie Ford
the little lefthander, was shaken uE
in a collision with Cleveland's Luke
Easter.
Stengel thought Ford was favoring
his right side. He promptly replaced
Ford with Tom Ferrick. The vet
eran reliever proceeded to stop the
Indians cold the rest of the way as
the Yankees broke a 3-3 tie in Their
half of the eighth.
Tigers In Split
