AMERICAN LEAGUE

BOSTON, CHICAGO WIN...DETROITS LOSES...3-WAY TIE FOR SECOND

The Philadelphia A's had the day off and still are atop of the American League with 14 games to go. But while the Athletics were off, most of the other contenders picked up victories. The White Sox, Red Sox and Tigers are all tied for second, 1.5 games behind the leader. New York also won and are just 3 games out of first.

Chisox pitcher, Ed Cicotte (2-0 2.27), recently recalled from the minors won his second game by checking the last place Indians on a 5-hitter 9-1. Louis Santop (.266) had two homers and six RBIs for the White Sox. Bob Feller (10-14 3.06) lasted only a couple of innings and was charged with five runs.

The Boston Red Sox bumped off the Detroit Tigers 6-2 on a 4-hitter by Cy Young (13-3 2.74). Hilton Smith (4-4 3.60), in a surprise start, was dealt with harshly by the Bosox, who battered him for five runs in three-plus innings. Smith has been the Detroit closer for most of this season. Oscar Charleston (.295) and Ted Williams (.296) led the way, each with a home run and two RBIs. It was Charleston's 18th of the year and Williams' 32nd. Williams is now tied with Babe Ruth of the Yankees and Josh Gibson of the Browns for the AL lead.

The Bronx Bombers exploded for four runs in the thirteenth to beat the Senators 9-5. Thurman Munson's (.300) batted in the winning run with a single and Joe DiMaggio finished it off with a three-run blast. In relief Bob Shawkey (6-2 3.60) got the win, while Tom Zachary (3-5 5.01) collected the loss.

The sixth place St. Louis Browns were not scheduled.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

TOP 3 CONTENDERS LOSE...BRAVES WIN 10 IN A ROW AND TRAIL BY JUST 3 GAMES

The top three teams in the National League pennant race bit the dust, while the fourth place team closed to within three games of first place. When the day was over, Pittsburgh and Chicago are still tied for first, 1.5 games up on the third place NY Giants, but the Braves are closing in fast.

The hottest team in baseball is the Boston Braves -- Bobby Cox's club has won ten straight games. They sneaked by their latest victim, the Chicago Cubs, 5-4. Weak-hitting Johnny Logan (.248) wreaked havoc with three hits and four RBIs, including his first homer of the year. He smacked a two-run single in the eighth to whip Hippo Vaughn (0-2 3.86). Greg Maddux (12-12 2.87) was the winning pitcher. He went 8 innings and gave up three runs with seven strikeouts and three walks. John Smoltz got his first save of the year, despite allowing Gabby Hartnett's 14th home run in the ninth.

At Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the seventh place Cincinnati Reds ripped the Pirates 7-2 in a strong 4-hit performance by Paul Derringer (5-5 3.13). Gus Bell (.268) sparked the Reds with a three-run homer. Frank Robinson (.236) also had a solo shot. John Candelaria (3-2 4.97) lost the game, yielding all seven runs in seven innings. The NL home run leader, Sadaharu Oh of Pittsburgh, walloped his 45th of the season, which ties his league alltime mark, set in 1905. He needs 5 more to tie Babe Ruth's alltime AAA mark of 50. The Buc slugger is on pace to top his NL mark of 133 RBIs and Ted Williams' alltime AAA record of 137. Oh has 132 so far.

Cardinal hurlers, Harry Brecheen (16-8 3.07) and John Tudor, combined to beat the New York Giants 4-2. It was Tudor third save. Sal Maglie (9-11 4.13) caught the loss for New York. Johnny Mize (.302) got his 21st roundtripper for St. Louis. It was the fifth place Redbirds' third consecutive triumph and the fourth loss in a row for the third place Giants.

Sixth place Brooklyn and last place Philadelphia were idle today.
