lance of fourth place.
They'll depend on Hal Griggs
to keep 'em rolling tonight
against Cleveland's Don Fer
rarese after humping of the
Indians. sd. last night on Roy
Sievers' 2lst homer and slick
relief pitching by Truman
Clevenger. who snapped a per-
sonal five-game losing streak.
Griggs. striving for a fourth
win, would appreciate more
hitting by his teammates, who
have provided him with only
two runs in his last two outings.
This scarcity Of muscle resulted
In 81 losses to Baltimore and
Detroit.
Clevenger Takes Over
BY sweeping the remaining
two games with the Indians.
Washington could nudge within
a few percentage points Of
seventh place. currently oc.
cupied by Cleveland. In the
runaway American League race,
the Senators are only 6ls
games out Of second place and
four out Of the fourth spot.
The Senators spurted into q
40 lead against handicapped
Herb Score last night, but the
Indians clipped Russ Kem-
merer for five successive hits
and four runs with two out
in the third inning to tie the
count.
Then Clevenger took over
and gave the Senators a superb
job, restricting the Indians TO
Vic Powers double in the last
Ga innings. Clevenger retired
the final IA batters after ex-
Treating himself from deep
difhculity in the fifth.
After tanning Gray Geiger
to start the fifth, Clevenger
yielded looping double to
right by Power. then purposely
passed Russ Nixon. In the
predicament Clevenger per-
formed nobly. tanning both

Modern Mark
NJ N. A..oelalsd Pres,

Frank Larry. the pinball adj
dict who makes lights fash
and buzzers hum when he
throws his knuckleball against
New York. Is practically a cinch
to become the first pitcher IN
II years TO beat the Yankees
six times In one season.
But the Detroit Highlander
win need q lot Of overtime TO
make the Yankees q stepping
stone for even q share Of the
l0-year-old Major League cec-
ord for most victories against
one club In one season.
Larry. q. was kayoed by the
heat and humidity. but had no
real trouble beating the Yam
KEGS. 1875 yesterday. That was
his nth over the American
League leaders this season. and
his sixth in a row against
them since June. 1857.
No one has beaten the YAM
KEGS six times In one year since
1874, when q pair Of Detroit
aces. oddly enough. did it.
Dizzy Trout was 60 and Hal
Newhouser 60 against New
York that year. when the
Tigers finished second to the
st. Louis Browns and the YAM
KEGS were third.
Jensen Hits No. ~
With only nine games and
three series remaining between
Detroit and New York. it's un-
likely, however. that Larry can
get enough shots at the YAM
KEGS to match the record of
nine victories against one club.
Ed Welsh Of the White Sox
did it against both New York
and Boston in 1908. and Ed
Reulbach of the Cubs did it in
the National League the same
year. against Brooklyn.
While third-place Detroit
took a ga lead over the YAM
KEGS for the year and cut their
margin to IL games, Boston
retained second place by beat
ing Kansas City. So. on Jackie
Jensen's 9th home run. Bal
timore tied the Athletics for
fourth by defeating the White
Sox. as. in IL innings. WASH
ington beat Cleveland, 5-4.
Larry, who also beat the YAM
KEGS five times while winning
20 in Sc, now Is 14-4 against
New York in his five-year
career but he's only Ala
against the rest Of the league,
which could explain why YAM
kee Manager Casey Stengel
"snubbed" him while picking
his All-Star staff.
Mantle Gets gath Homer
Larry had a string of ~ shut
out innings over the Yankees
until q two-run seventh, and
finally gave way to Hank
Aguirre in a two-run eighth,
when Mickey Mantle hit his
oath home run. Larry now is
9-S for the season. after losing
three in q row since his Sec
ond consecutive shutout over
New York, June 81.

triples, drove in four runs for
the Tigers, while Al Kaline and
