Phillies Help
Indians Back
To Top of Heap
Athletics Going Nowhere
-But Neither is Anyone,
Else Who Plays Them
By the Associated Press
Philadelphia's carefree Athletics
are going nowhere in the American
League race but they are having a
great deal to say which team will
win the flag.
Continuing their role of “spoilers,"
Jimmy Dykes’ seventh placers yes
terday held New York to a split in
their Labor Day double-header to
dump the Yankees out of first place.
Taking advantage of a second
game 3-2 win after the Yankees
had copped the opener, 3-1, the
Cleveland Indians regained first
place by sweeping a pair from Chi
cago's White Sox. 5-3 and 6-1.
s* The Tribe now has a half-game
Mead on the Yankees but roust
keep a wary eye out for Boston's
unpredictable Red Sox, who whip
ped Washington twice, 3-2 and
8-4, to climb within four and a
half games of the top.
The Red Sox, who open a three
game series In New York tomorrow,
ere very much in the thick of things
its they are only two games behind
Cleveland in the important “lost"
column. They have played five fewer
games than the Indians. Nine of
their remaining games, however,
arc with the Yankees.
Dodgers Rise
Brooklyn’s Dodgers increased their
first-place margin in the National
Lengue to six games over New York,
defeating the Boston Braves twice
by 7-2 scores while the Giants were
dividing a pair with the Philadel
phia Phillies. The Giants won the
nightcap. 3-1, after Philadelphia had
taken the opener, 6-3.
Elsewhere, the St. Louis Cardi
nals stretched their winning streak
to seven straight with 4-1 and
7-1 triumph over Cincinnati. Chi
cago and Pittsburgh split, the
Pirates earning a seven-inning 4-3
win after the—Cu-twr had captured ’
- first game, Lt-1#, in U tur
nings. Detroit’s Tigers and the
St. Louis Browns divided a twin
bill. The Tigers gained a 6-5
verdict in 13 innings only to have
the Browns bounce back to win
the second gamr, 3-2.
Little Bobby Shantz and big Bob
Hooper combined to pitch Phila
delphia’s second-game triumph over
the Yankees as the A’s continued to
have a lot of fun with the conten
ders. Shantz did not permit a score
until he weakened in the seventh.
Three Times
It marked the third time in three
weeks that the A’s had shoved the
Yankees off the top perch. They
did it the first time Aug. 12 with a
double victory and again on Aug.
19. Only last week they whipped
the Indians twice in a row to knock
them out of first place.
Johnny Sain, veteran righthander,
recently purchased from the Braves,
made a brilliant Yankee debut, set
ting down the A's with five hits in
the opener.
Bob Feller registered his 21st vic
tory and Steve Gromek spun a bril
liant three-hitter as the Indians
battered five Chicago hurlers for
21 hits.

The Rainiers may put the pen
nant on ice tonight when they
meet Oakland. One more Seattle
win will sew up the championship, (

Rainiers came back in their half
with three runs and added two
more in the fifth.
Hollywood hopes u'ent sliding
when the Stars split a double bill
with Sacramento. The Stars’ Vic
Lombardi went the route against
Bob Gillespie, Frankie Nelson and
Harry Grubb to win the opener, 7-5,
for his tenth victory. In the final,
Hollywood had a 3-2 edge after five
innings but the Solons mixed four
hits with two errors for three tallies
and the game, 5-3.
Los Angeles nudged Portland out
of the No. 3 spot by virtue of a
13-8 win in the opener of their
doubleheader. The nightcap,
called because of the time limit at
the end of the seventh inning,
ended in a 5-5 tie.
At the bottom of the heap San
Diego dumped San Francisco into
the cellar again by whipping the
Seals twice, 5-3 and 2-1.
