YANKS LOSE
AS JINX IS
STILL ON
I
(By.Associated Press)
Casey Stengel defied the Fenway
I>ark southpaw jinx and lost. As a
result his tfe^ York Yankees are
fidgeting atop/ the American League
pennant scramble by only a half
game today .
The Yankees invaded the lair of
the torrid third-place Boston Red
Sox last night for the opener of a
two-game series. Casey sent Lefty
Ed Lopat to face the Red Sox com
pletely aware that only one jrisiting
lefthander, Hal Newhouser of De
troit, had pitched and won a com
plete game in Fenway Park this
year.
Casey didn’t have long to wait to
rue his decision. The Sox bombed
£opat for four runs in the second
fhning and went on to win 11-2.. j ‘
Tigers In Win 1
I While the Yanks were smeared
the runner-up Detroit Tigers, be
hind Newhouser, turned back the
fourth-place Cleveland Indians, 5-3
th the opener of a two-game serie:
*n Detroit to move within a half
game of the lead.

For today’s game, Stengel ha:
named righthander Allie Reynolds

Kinder (13-12).
16-Hit Attack
Lefty Mel Parnell breezed to hi:
16th victory as the Sox supported
his eight-hit pitching with a 16-hit f
attack.
Parnell now has won seven
straight games and 10 out of his last
U decisions.
Vern Stephens led Boston bj
pounding out his 29th homer, s
triple and two singles.
At Detroit, the Tigers came up
with four runs in the seventh inning
to erase a 2-1 deficit.

ted the Washington Senators to a
5-0 six hit victory over the Phila
delphia Athletics and the Chicago
White Sox edged the St. Loui:
Browns, 6-5.
Dodgers Beat Phils
;. The Brooklyn Dodgers supplied
the biggest surprise in the National
League by defeating the League
leading Philadelphia Phils, 2-0 and
j-2. The victories moved the se
cond-place Brooks to within 5)4
games of the Phils.
Big Don Newcombe attempted to
perform the iron man stunt. He
blanked the Phils on three hits in
the opener but was forced to bow
out for a pinch-hitter in the eighth
inning of the second game, trailing
2-0.
The Dodgers, blanked on one hit
by Pfc Curt Simmons, came to life
id the ninth inning and scored
three runs to win the nightcap.
t^The Dodger triumphs were costly,
however, as they lost the services of
ttieir brilliant catcher, Roy Camp
atiella, who broke his right thumb
on a foul tip. Campanella probably
Will be out for the season.

RAINIERS
WINNERS
IN EIGHTH
(By Associated Press)
Manager Charley Dressen of Oak
land’s Pacific Coast leaders, must
be chuckling" today over the way
he scared the Los Angeles Angels
and nearly won a long gamble.
Presumably saving his best pitch
ers for next week’s series with his
closest pursuer, San Diego, Dressen
started Frank Nelson and used a
gent named Buck Tanner, just ar
rived from Rattlesnake, Fla., along
with Hank Behrman and Forest
Thompson on the mound against
the Angels last night.
Earl Rapp gave Oakland a 1-0
lead in the second w'ith a homer and
Dressen’s plotting seemed to be
working okeh. But then there was no
more scoring from Oakland until
the ninth inning. And Los Angeles
ran ui> a 9-1 lead with power such
is Frank Baumholtz’s 13th homer
with a man aboard.
Los Angeles’, starting pitcher.
Frank Marino, iost his stuff in the
ainth and before Cal McLish could
louse, the Oakland blaze five runs
dad scored to make the final 9-6
for the Angels.
, Dressen, even though he lost the
ball game, didn’t lose ground in the
league race because San Diego lost
to tail-end Sacramento, 7-2. Else
where Seattle whipped Portland 6-3
and Hollywood trimmed San Fran
cisco 5-3 in an afternoon game.
Seattle’s Charlie Schanz gave
Portland a walk and four successive
singles for three runs in the first
inning, then didn’t allow the Beav
ers another hit until the ninth. The
Rainiers tied it up in the fifth with
Walt Judnich’s two-run homer and
pushed over the winning runs in
the eighth,
Hollywood scored four times in the
fourth inning, as Herb Gormah
smacked a three-run homer.
