Lemon Pitches
3-Hit Shutout
Over Yankees
Cleveland Sweeps
Three-Gume Series;
Rosen Hits Homer
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 20. - Bob
Lemon threw a three-hit, 60
shutout at the New York Yankees
today as the Indians swept a
three-game series from the world
champions for the third time this
season. Al Rosen, Cleveland
third baseman, hit his 35th home
run-one of nine hits Cleveland
made off three Yankee south
paws.
Not a Yankee got past first
base until the ninth when pinch
hitter Hank Bauer singled and
advanced on a walk to Gil Nc
Dougald.
Lemons victory, his 18th
against 13 losses, followed a
slump in which he had won only
one of five starts. It evened his
record against New York at 3-3.
The Indians, thumped in their
first seven encounters with the
Yanks this year, now hold a 1919
edge in games with the last three
coming up in New York Septem-
ber 13, IA and Is.
Losing pitcher was Steve Kra-
ly, rookie southpaw, making his
second major league start since
coming up from Binghamton in
the Eastern League where he
won 18 and lost 2.
Kraly had given only one hit
until RoSen's homer over the left
field fence in the fourth. Before
the inning ended George Strick-
land singled home two more
Cleveland runs-Larry Dolby who
had walked and Wally Westlake
who doubled.
Kraly lost control in the fifth,
hit a batSman and walked three
more to force a run across.
Catcher Yogi Berra dropped a
pop foul during the hitleSs rally
to make the run unearned.
The Indians scored another in
the seventh on Dale Mitchells
double and Westlake's single off
Art Schallock.
They added their final run in
the eighth against Bill Miller on
a walk, a single by Bob Avila, a
double steal, and a single by
ROSen.

real furry of excitement to re-
ward those who riSked stroke
to watch the worlds leading
amateurs perform.
AS it happened, the bravest of
the spectators who baked in the
big horseshoe bowl at the West

ton, S c., playing the grass court
circuit for the first time, won
the first two sets with an eye
broW-raising service and finally
bowed to the left-handed Aussie
Davis Cup star only because he
ran out of steam. The scores
were 8-10, 7-9, 6-3, g.,
6-2.
Morris, it was learned. has
been making a great impression
on his fellow Americans since he
joined the tennis circuit at
Spring Lake. Some of them re-
gard him as the future top man
in this country since he carried
Tony Trabert to an extra set at
South Orange.
At the same time Morris was
bursting upon the tennis scene
on a remote court, the match
which had promised to high
light the days program in the
stadium was going to pieces.

Police Urge
Slower Driving

Don't let death take your hol-
iday!"
This appeal to local motorists
was made today by Port Clinton
Chief of Police, Jack E. Shelter, in
pleading for a happy holiday sea-
son for everyone-with fewer traf-
fic accidents and deaths.
although December is month
recognized universally as the 'hol-
iday month"; he said, cit also
stands for the deadly month This
is due to the fact that more peo-
pie are killed in traffic accidents
in December than during any 9th
er month in the year."
Heavy holiday traffic, early
darkness and weather conditions
such as sleet, snow or rain were
cited as factors which combine to
make this a dangerous time of the
year for motorists.
To minimize these seasonal haz-
ards, Chief Shelter urged drivers
to reduce speed on wet or slip
perry pavements to compensate
for poor traction, to keep their
windshield wipers, defrosters and
lights in good working condition,
to keep rear windows free of snow
and ice, and to be prepared at all
times for a sudden emergency.
''Let's all be sensible about the
business of celebrating this year."
he added. Let's be determined to
stay alert every minute we're be-
hind the wheel-keep our minds
strictly on the business of driving
= take special precaution when
ever the weather warrants and
never drive after drinking!"
