Indians Down Yanks; KC Beats Orioles 4-3
Page 5
An obscure rookie painfully reminded the Yankees today—just in case they had forgotten—that Cleveland still is “boss” of the American league.
The rookie who drove home the lesson literally in the Indians' 7-4 victory over the Yankees last night was catcher Hank Foiles, who once belonged to the Bronx Bombers but was cut adrift.
Foiles ran wild against the Yankees in a four-run seventh inning rally that enabled the Indians to beat their old nemesis, Ed Lopat, and keep control of the American league lead.
Lopat led 4-3 until the seventh but Bobby Avila's single with the bases full in that frame tied the score. Foiles, a husky 25-year-old with the inclinations and dimensions of a fullback, charged all the way around from second base and straight at Yogi Berra, who was waiting at the plate with the ball in his hand. The 200-pound Cleveland rookie slammed into Yogi, knocking the ball out of his grasp as the way back to the screen. Foiles and Al Smith both scored while Berra was collecting himself, and Avila, who went to third on the error, came home with the fourth run of the frame on a single by Vic Wertz. Mike Garcia was the winning pitcher.
Southpaw Billy Hoeft's six-hitter and Al Kaline's two-run homer gave the Tigers a 4-2 decision over the Red Sox, who went down to their sixth straight defeat. The Tigers, remaining a half game behind the Indians, spotted Boston two runs in the third inning but scored one run in the fourth on a walk and Bill Tuttle's double, then chased Ike Delock with two more runs in the fifth.
Minnie Minoso's two-run single in the seventh inning was the winning blow in Chicago's 5-3 victory over Washington. Dick Donovan relieved Mike Fornielles in the third and gained credit for the victory. Sherm Lollar and Mickey Vernon each homered.
three run homer by Bill Wilmins in the eighth inning gave Kansas City a 4-3 triumph over Baltimore which had gone out in front on homers by Hoot Evers a n d Chuck Diering. Wilson's game-winning wallop came at the expense of Erv Palica. Ed Burtschy, who relieved Art Ceccarelli in the eighth, was the winning pitcher.
Bob Rush's smooth four-hit pitching plus three booming triples gave the up-and-coming Cubs a 6-0 victory over the faltering Giants. Rookie Bob Speake's triple with the bases full in the first inning was enough to beat Jim Hearn but Dee Fondy added a pair of triples later. It marked the Cubs' fourth victory and moved them to within 53 games of the National league - leading Dodgers, who were idle. The loss left the World Champion Giants eight full games off the pace.

Four home runs powered Cincinnati to a 7-5 triumph over Philadelphia. Ted Kluszewski hit his sixth and seventh homers, Gus Bell his third and Chuck Harmon his second as the Phils dropped their fifth straight.
