YANKS MAKE
BIG RECORD,
HOME FIELD
By Associated Press
Attention radio quiz show fans
Here’s the jackpot question. When
lid the New York Yankees last lose
i ball game at Yankee stadium?
No coaching, please. No peaking
in the old Sporting News.
The answer is Sept. 26, 1950. f
world series and 10 straight 1955
victories have passed and the enc
s not in sight. Talk about Boston':
friendly Fenway. The Yanks home
n the Bronx has that stopped six
ways.
Just look at the record:
At Home— W. L
New York . 10 0
Boston . 5 4
One day the Yanks bomb you tc
death. Next day they finesse yot
W'ith skillful pitching and brillian.
defense. It must be discouraging for
she tourists.
You won t see many better-pitcn
3d games than Early Wynn threw
at the Yanks yesterday., Still he
lost 1-0, as his Cleveland Tribe left
13 on the bases.
Joe DiMaggio applied the clinch
er with an innocent first-inning
single scoring Dr. Bobby Brown
Wynn gave up only three-hits in his
seven-inning stay, one a triple by
Gerry Coleman in the eighth.
Home Run Streak
Big Gus Zernial continued his
home run streak with his seventh
in four consecutive games for the
Athletics. Gus tied an American
league record, set by Tony Lazzer:
in 1936. But he fell one short ol
Ralph Kiner’s major league high,
hung up in 1947.
The Athletics crept out of the
cellar on a 7-6 victory over St
Louis.
It was too cold for the Red Sox
to play the White Sox at Fenway
but Boston warmed up with a deal
for a catcher. Les Moss of the
Browns moved to Boston for Catcher
Matt Batts and Pitcher Jim Such
ecki.
Connie Marrero shook Washington
out of a four-game losing streak by
beating Detroit, 11-6. for his fifth
straight win.
It’s still only three games from
the bottom in the National with
Brooklyn, the pre-season favorite
on top, and the 1950 champion
Phillies in the cellar.
Dodger Power Missing
The vaunted Dodger power was
missing at Chicago where Frank
Hiller spun a seven-hitter, 7-0,
w'hile Ransom Jackson and Hank
Sauer ripped into Erv Palica for
home runs.
Keeping pace with the Cubs, the
Pittsburgh Pirates moved within
one game of first place by knocking
off New York, 12-7. Ralph Kinei
had a big day with his sixth homer
and a double to drive in five runs
Cincinnati edged even with the
:500 mark on a 6-5 win over Boston’s
Warren Spahn.
Rookie Joe Preski of St. Louis
pitched his first complete game ir
the majors to whip the Phillies, 2-1
