NEW YORK, Sept. ga
man from Mars would have
been completely befuddled to-
day attempting to distinguish
the American League cham
pions from the loops cellar oc-
cupants. The Senators behaved
beautifully in overwhelming
the lordly but temporarily en-
barrassed front-running Yank-
ees, 8-3. before a crowd Of 49,
270 at Yankee Stadium.
Roy Sievers cracked his 36th
home run. boosting his runs
batted-in production to 100 for
the fourth time in five years,
and Ed YoSt thumped his sew
enth homer as Camilo Pascual
notched his eighth win.
Camilo weakened in the ninth
when the Yankees obtained four
of their 10 hits. including a
homer by Moose Skowron. Tru-
man Clevenger finished up.
Blast Into Third Deck
Sievers' three-run homer fea-
tured a six-run uprising against
Art Ditmar in the sixth inning.
Manager Casey Stengel, appar-
emily peeved at Ditmar'S failure
to cover first base on a play in
that inning. permitted the
highlander to remain around
and be clobbered for three more
runs after Roy doomed a
mighty drive into the third
deck of the leftfleld stands.
Despite registering tie sec
ond triple play in the league
this season--the other was
made by the Senators against
the Orioles June 2-the Yank-
ees played like fugitives from
q playground.
In addition to Ditmar's lapse,
Norm Siebern was nailed at the
plate when he tried to score
from second base in the sixth
inning at a time when the
Yankees were trailing by seven
runs, Had he played it more
cautiously. as the circumstances
dictated. the bases would have
been loaded with none out.
Clinch Season Edge
The Senators achieved their
sixth straight victory at Yankee |
Stadium after losing their first
three here. Thus they clinched
an edge in season play in New
York. a boast which otherwise
only the Tigers viii be able to
make at seasons end, and a
feat the Senators haven't been
able to claim since raccoon
coats were the rage.
Milwaukee scouts, following
the Yankees with a view toward
detecting flaws which might be
exploited in the World Series.
are learning things from the
Senators. who have won five of
their last six games with New
York.
They did it today with a 10
hit assault. Eight of those blows
were compiled against Ditmar
and the other two were at the
expense of Johnny James. an
import from Richmond, who
pitched the last three innings.
McDOugald Starts Triple Play
The Yankees reeled of their
triple play in the ninth after
James walked Able Pearson
and Sievers. Clint Courtney
dashed a liner to Second Base
man Gil McDougald. whose flip
to Tony Kubek caught Pearson
OF second. Kubek's quick throv
to Skowron beat the retreating
Sievers to first base.
Plews Starts Burst
Yost projected the Senators
into a lead they never relin-
pushed right at the outset.
He cracked a 80 pitch into the
leftfleld seats for the Tooth
homer of his career and the
Senators made it 20 in the
third inning when Herb Plews
tripled to right center and
scored on Parsons sacrifice fly
to Yogi Berra. playing right
field.
Plews touched of the Sem
ators' big inning with a single
to right and Pearson walked.
