Junior Circuit Buzzing About Cantankerous A's
By UNITED PRESS
Joke all you like about them being a Yankee "farm club," but those cantankerous Kansas City Athletics are giving the "parent club" a better run for their money than anyone else in the American League.
All this talk about a Yankee runaway isn't making much of an impression on the surprisingly strong, second-place Athletics who kept within a game-and-a-half of the league leading New Yorkers
with an uphill 9-4 victory over Cleveland Monday night.
A's Pack Power, Hustle
A's Pack Power, Hustle Kansas City's hustle and take-a-chance tactics on the base paths already is being buzzed about around the circuit. So is their power which they were supposed to have sacrificed in winter deals.
Frank House supplied the big punch when he smashed a grand-slam homer in an eight-run eighth inning against the Indians Monday night. The A's took advantage of
six walks and an error by Chico Carrasquel to push across their runs in the eighth.
Rookie Jim (Mudcat) Grant, Cleveland's starter, had a 4-1 lead until he blew up in the eighth. Roger Maris of the Indians and Woody Held of the A's had homered up to that point. Murry Dickson, the 41-year-old knuckle-baller, was credited with the victory in relief of Ralph Terry.
Don Larsen put in a short day but paced the Yankees to be
fifth straight victory, a 4-1 decision over the Red Sox, while Detroit edged Chicago, 2-1. The Washington-Baltimore game was postponed because of rain.
The Cincinnati Redlegs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, in a 14-inning game that took four hours and 35 minutes. Rain washed out the only other national league scheduled game between Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.
Larsen pitched only five innings in the Yankee victory over Boston
but while he was around he hit a 2-run homer and struck out eight. Bob Grim relieved him in the sixth, ran into trouble himself and needed help from Whitey Ford in the eighth.
Ted Williams connected for his first hit of the season when he singled off Larsen in the fifth and just to show he hasn't lost his touch, he homered off Grim in the seventh. Hank Bauer homered in the first inning off loser Willard Nixon.
