Tommy Byrne Allows
Two Hits, Drives in
All Winning Runs
By the Associated Press
Tommy Byrne, a hard luck guy
from way back, found No. 13 the
charm to ending Cleveland’s all
winning rush toward the American
League pennant.
The ex-Yankee, shunted to the
last place St. Louis Browns in mid
June, made his 13th start of the
season yesterday. It coincided with
a 13-game Cleveland win string.
The result was rough on the Indians,
whose lead was reduced to 1 ’ j games
by a 4-0 loss.
No Cleveland ciu'o ever won
more than 13 in a" row. The 1942
team got that far in May before
Boston dumped them. The cur
rent Tribe tied that mark Wed
nesday night.
Byrne took complete charge of
ending the streak by driving home
all four runs off loser Mike Garcia
before he left the game with a sore
back in the eighth. Duane Pillette
finished the shutout job on Cleve
land which hadn't lost since Aug. 1.
The 5-3 New York victory at
Washington slashed a full game off
the Indians’ lead. Both of the other
first division clubs lost — Boston
to Philadelphia, 10-2 and Chicago
to Detroit 2-1.
There were faint stirrings of
hope for a belated race in the
National after New York knocked
off Brooklyn, 2-1, for a series
sweep and a six-game winning
streak. The Dodger lead, how
ever, still measured 91 i games
with 43 to play.
St. Louis broke loose with six
! runs in the seventh to trim Pitts
j burgh, 9-0, and Chicago exploded
I four in the ninth to whip Cincin
j nati, 8-4, in the only night game
i in the rqajors. Boston and Phila
j delphia were not scheduled.
Byrne’s performance against
! Cleveland was a super job. Always
i plagued by wildness, he handed out
| only four walks. Until he left in
the eighth he allowed only two hits.
It was Byrne’s two-run single
with the bases full in the second
inning that opened the scoring.
Byrne’s ground out drove home an
other in the fourth and his single
in the sixth added the final run.
