Yankees Move Into First; Wynn Pitches One Hitter
By UNITED PRESS
Yogi Berra's back on top of the world today—and it's no coincidence that the New York Yankees are back on top of the American league.
The 30-year old catcher, who the Yankees still insist "is better than Brooklyn's Roy Campanella," staged a one-man batting show yesterday when he clouted three home runs in leading the Yankees to 5-0 and 7-5 victories over the Baltimore Orioles. The Indians snapped a two-gameosing streak when Early Wynn tossed a one-hitter single to Fred Hatfield and then faced only 15 batters in the last five innings.
The Chicago White Sox out-sugged the Kansas City Athletics, 10-6.
in a 30-hit debacle after Alex Kellner beat them, 7-2, with a neat eight-hitter in the other A.L. games. Boston at Washington was rained out.
In the National league, the New York Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2 and 5-3, and crept to within six games of the first-place Brooklyn Dodgers, who downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-3. The Milwaukee Braves beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-1, and Cincinnati and St. Louis split a doubleheader. The Redlegs won the opener, 4-3, for their sixth straight victory but the Cardinals took the nightcap, 5-2.
