Righthander Vic Raschi pitched
the New York Yankees within two
percentage points of the Ameri-
can League's front-running Cleve-
land Indians today by blanking
the Indians, 5-0.
Raschi yielded only four hits at
Cleveland, two singles apiece by
Larry Doby and Dale Mitchell in
carving his 14th victory of the sea-
son and fifth shutout.
Joe DiMaggio drove in three
runs on a pair of doubles and also
stole home against Bob Lemon,
who suffered his 10th loss against
14 triumphs.
The fourth place Boston Red
Sox remained a game-and-a-half
off the pace as a result of their 5-1
beating by the tail-end White Sox
in Chicago. It was Chicago's sec-
ond victory in a row over the Red
Sox.
Allen Gettel, former Yankee,
throttled the Red Sox on four
safeties while his mates whacked
Mickey Harris and Earl Caldwell
for 11.
At Detroit, five Tiger errors,
three of them by shortstop.Johnny
Lipton, aided the Washington
Senators in scoring a 3-2 ten-
inning triumph over the Tigers.
Lipton's third boot, along with
singles by Gil Coan and Ed Stew-
art, led to the Senators' winning
run in the extra frame.
In the National League, the St.
Louis Cardinals and the Brook-
lyn Dodgers remained in a sec-
ond place deadlock as result of
defeats by Philadelphia and Cin-
cinnati respectively.
Rookie Robin Roberts pitched
and batted the Phillies to a 6-2
victory over the Cards at Phila-
delphia to snap a five game St.
Louis winning streak.
Roberts held the Cards to five
hits and also homered and sin-
gled to account for two of the
Phils' nine blows off four Red
Bird pitchers.
The Dodgers dropped a 6-4 de-
cision to Cincinnati at Ebbets
Baseball's
Big Six
Field although they almost pulled
it out with a three run rally in the
ninth which routed starting and
winning pitcher Johnny Vander
Meer.
The fourth place Giants missed
an opportunity to move into a
three way tie with the Cards and
Dodgers for second place by bow-
ing, 5-4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates
in 11 innings at the Polo Grounds.
Frankie Gustine broke up the
game by leading off the 11th in-
ning with his eighth homer of the
season off Bay Poat, sixth Giant
pitcher. Johnny Mize clubbed his
27th four-bagger for the Giants
with none on in the opning frame.

Stands Out in
All-Star Drills
EVANSTON, Ill., August 7-()
-Frank Leahy, coach of the Col-
lege All-Stars, predicted a 40-point
beating from the Chicago Card-
inals August 20 "unless we get in
shape in a hurry."
The Notre Dame coach sounded
this doleful note today after the
first All-Star scrimmage. He said
the team looked "fair."
Offensive single wing and "T"
formation backfields operated al-
ternately throughout the workout.
Outstanding for the single wing
group were Herman Wedemeyer
of St. Mary's and Wisconsin's Gug
Girard, who consistently passed to
Bump Elliott of Michigan for long
gains. Elliott took many of the
passes in lateral plays and made
the yardage himself.
Howard Yerges of Michigan and
Bill Luongo of Pennsylvania also
ran for good yardage from the
single wing spot.
