The Indians took the field with second baseman Ray Mack bench. ed and an almost entrely revamp- ed batting order, but their efforts to pull back into the pennant race were stymied by the Yanks‘ one big inrnng and the five-hit pitching of Lefty Russo, who attained his ninth triumph against six defeats.

Cleveland used three pitchers. BWlihDlW Al Smith, Joe Having and clint Broom in that order, t: suppress the Yankees to seven safeties, but DiMaggo opsned the fourth with a rifle shot into the left iield Sihllds for his 22nd hem- er of the year. Then with one out Buddy Rosa!‘ walked and Charley Keller slammed a drive into the right field stands for his 23rd round tripper.
