It was Detroit's eighth New York, July 23 The New York Yankees, whose woeful home stand has sent manager Joe McCarthy to his sick bed, lost an- other game today, bowing to the Chicago White Sox, 1-0, in 11 innings on a walk, two wild pitches and an error by Pitcher Bill Zu- ber and Orish Hockett's scratch "single. With two out and nobody on in the second overtime frame of a tight duel between Zuber and Bill Dietrich, Johnny Dickshot worked Zuber for a walk. The Sox left fielder moved to second on a wild pitch and took third on another wild heave to the grandstand. Tony Cuccinello walked on a 3-2 pitch and Hockett slapped one back at Zuber who fielded the ball on the hop, slipped on the damp grass and threw wildly past ursi base. The official scorer ruled Hockett was entitled to a run-batted in on the play and gave Hockett a hit and Zuber an error because Cuccinello went to third.

Washington. July 23 UP) The Senators' bid for top spot in the American League got another set back tonight when Cleveland's Ed Klieman gave only five hits and bested Johnny mggenng z-j. in a pitcher's duel. Klieman helped along -his own cause by driving tne nrsi in riian run a double. Singles by Frankie Hayes and Al Cihockl followed by Klieman's double in the fifth inning gave the Indians their first run.

Washington got its lone marker on singles by Harold Clift, George Binks and Rick Ferrell in the Senators' half of the fifth. Pittsburgh. July 17 UP. A 17 ttok htchlichteri hv three home I a laa)6 cscoea at i runs, gave the Pittsburgh Pirates nn 8 to 5 victory over tne aosion Scranton, July 23 W) The pennant parade and the 11-game victory excursion of the Utica Blue Sox came to an abrupt halt tonight when the Miners scored two runs in the ninth with the aid of the Utes first error of the series for a 5-4 decision. Ahead from the fourth stanza, through the medium of three gift runs, although outhit by a two to one ratio, the Utes went into the finale a tally to the good.

Then "Goober" Heck, who had rescued starter George Copeland from a perilous eighth inning situation, passed Johnny Sehrt and when Bob Sperry beat out a bunt to mark the second consecutive game that he has recorded four safeties in as many attempts, Heck and the Utes were in trouble. The tension was relieved some-j what as Heck louea Aiex i.orpo-nay's attempt to sacrifice, and finally fanned the big fellow, whereupon Manager Eddie playing his strategy down to the last card, signalled for Don Grate, the Ohio collegian, to take over. Grate got two strikes on Joe Langworth before the Scrantonian spanked an outside pitch into left gardens. Richie Ashburn charged in for the ball with the idea of making a throw to the plate. The best the fielder did was to touch the pellet as it sped through him to the fence, and Sperry scored behind Sehrt with the winning run without a challenge.

Seventeen vear old Evertt Goodwin, the third of the Miners flippers, who fanned the side in the lone frame he worked, the ninth, was the direct beneficiary of the spectacular finish that terminated the longest Eastern League winning streak of the campaim. The Utes, who traced all of their scores to loose hall handling on the part of the Miners collected only five knocks in all, and two of these were of the infield variety. The Miners totaled 11.

After ex-serviceman Tim Triner smartly spaced seven hits in the abbreviated lid-lifter to defeat Joaquin Gutierrez, new Cuban righthander, the Boston Braves' apprentices struggled through to the decision in a dizzy second game which went 10 innings. Neither of the starters, Jose Traspuesto and Harry Petty, were around at the finish of the long duel. Iron received credit for the victory and Fred Guiliani was the loser on the toughest kind of a break. The Grays could have won the nightcap in regulation time only for the Fernandez bone-head play. With the score knotted for a second time, Johnny Sabrinsky led off for the Grays in the ninth with a single to center.

Joe Socey sacrificed him to second and Hector Arago reached base when hit by a pitch. Fernandez then dropped a Texas leaguer into center, but crowded Arago off second base to set up the freakiest double play in memory of local fandom.

The man who had piloted the Bronx Bombers to eight pennants and seven world series triumphs said he hoped improved health could make it Dossible for him to return to his duties.

In a typewritten statement, the Yankee pilot said "On account of my poor neaitn i nave requested that Colonel MacPhall accept my resignation as manager. This he has refused to do. The colonel proposed that I go home for a few days and see my doctor. He felt that the rest may prompt me to reconsider my decision." McCarthy emphasize there had been no friction between Mac-Phail and himself. Earlier in the day, MacPhail told much the same story in a press conference, adding that McCarthy in a morning phone conversation had observed: "I just feel 1 am not doing the club any good, I don't eat or sleep.

My stomach is shot. I don't like to run out on anybody but if I'm not doing anybody any good, 1 simply can't go on. Perhaps some other manager can do more with the club than I can."

Debate on the subject -monopolized a joint of major and minor league committees to study proposed revisions in the major-minor league agreement. "The majors absolutely refused to consider any increase in the draft price," said Thomas H.

Richardson, Williamsport, chairman of the minor league committee following a six-hour session. "It was their contention, he con tinued, "that any player worth $15,000 would be sold into the big leagues in the normal course ot events and that a higher draft price would retard the progress of a player wnom a major league club would be willing to gamble $7,500, but no more." Clarence (Pants) Rowland, president of the Pacific Coast League and a committee member, led the minor league argument for a bigger draft price and asserted the matter was not yet closed. "We'll keep after them, because we have a legitimate request," he asserted. "Perhaps present wartime conditions don't warrant an increase, but In a few years we'll see to it that the big leagues don't pick up our key players for a song." Richardson said he would head a sub-committee composed of two major league representatives and two other miner league officials to re-draft major-minor league rules for consideration at the December meeting of the two groups. Meanwhile, he explained, the present agreement would te continued until January 12, 1946.

A majority of the revisions studied by the joint committee today involved minor technical changes. Cuccinello Still Heads AL Hit Parade at .325 Chicago, July 23 (JP.
