 Ease Yank Pain
By tlle Assoeia.ed Press


 The New York Yankees expect easier sailing in the tight American League pennant race now that the biz guy is hitting for distance once again.
 Joe DiDIaggio, hobbled by injuries all season. came to life over the weekend and forced the experts to put his obituary back on the shelf. The SlO0O00 year outfielder looked like the DiHTaggio Of old as he slam med three home runs in as many games to help the Yanks sweep a thrcc-game series from Chicago and knock the White Sox out of the race at least for the time being.
 DiNaegio clinched Friday nights disputed 3-l victory with a homer and yesterday he enjoyed his great est day of the season before 70972 fans. largest crowd of the year.
 The poker faced veteran drove home five runs on a pair of homers to spark the yanks to an 8-3 vic tory in the opener. He singled and scored the insurance run in a 20 niehtcap triumph.
 The sweep enabled the Tanks to pull two games ahead of the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians. The Indians nipped the Red Sox, 5-4, to tic Boston for second place. The fourth-p,ace White Sox are tagging G. games eff the pace.
 In other American League games, the Washington Senators split a doubleheader with St. Louis, win ning the first game, 7-2, but losing the second. 9-6; and the Philadel- phia Athletics divided with the De- troit Tigers, taking the nightcap, 80. after dropping the opener, 8-4. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Dodgers continued to make merry ill the Ma tonal League. The Brooks trounced the st. Louis Cardinals, 9-3. The runnerup New York Giants shaved the Dodgers lead to nine game by taAiug a pair from the Cincinnati Reds. 3-1 and Cd
 The Chicago Cubs also swept q doubleheader, beating the Phla- delphia Phillies. 5-4 and e-6. Bos- ton and Pittsburgh divided. the Pirates winning the opener, 6-2, and the Braves the nightcap, 5-4
 DiNGaggio's long ball busting over shadowed a brilliant pitching per formance by Vic Raschi in the first game. Raschi famed 12 batters be- fore be was forced to retire in the ninth inning. He was struck on his pitching hand by line drive off the bat of Chico Carrasquel. The injury was not serious.
 Birdie Tebbetts. a former Red Seeker, ruined his old mates at Boston. He poIed a two-run homer

Studs lose Head While On Road
By the Associated Press

The Seattle Rainiers, boosting a five-game cushion, may need more than that to fall back on before the Pacific Coast League pennant is won.
 The Rainiers, obviously not the same hot club on the road that they are at friendly Sick's Stadium, had to go all out to get a split with Sacramento yesterday Seattle won the first game in eight innings Ga bobtailed overtimer, 3-1; then lost in II frames, 6-5
 That gave Rogers Hornsby's Studs a soggy 2-5 record on their current road trip, with two more to play at Sacramento. Then Seattle returns home for a welcome two-week home stand before coming south for vital strife with Los Angeles and Holly wood.
 Hollywood's second place Stars closed the gap to five games by giv- Ills 0Oll IT dlICIsCO QOuDle lIIIu- ming. 8-2 and 4-3 Los Angeles took a firmer grip on the third spot by handing Oakland 3-4 and 6-1 setbacks.
 San Diego defeated Portland, 3-1, on Jack Graham's two-run homer in the ninth, then fell before Larry Wards four-hit shutout, 40. in the nightcap. Red Embree outdueled Red Lynn in the first game.
 Al Lyons, Seattle's handyman came in from the garden to pitch his sixth win against two defeats in the Sacramento opener He bested Ken Gables when his mates pushed over a pair of runs in the eighth.
 Even with three unearned runs, the Rainiers couldn't win the finale. The Sacs tied it at 5-all with three runs in the seventh and won it in the 11th when pinchhitter Gerry Scala doubled home Leo Righetti.
