It was a great day for the Windy City as both teams made a breeze out of holiday doubleheaders with sweeps. The White Sox moved into the first division for the first time since May 3 by bowling over the pace-setting Indians at Cleveland, 7 to 2 and 3 to 1.

Minnie Minoso made practically a personal production of it by hitting three homers to supply the margin of victory in games. both, Cubs, strengthening their hold on third place, doublewhacked, 7 the to 6 fourth when place Hank Cincin- Sauer drove home the winning run with a single in the ninth, and to 0 when Rush pitched a and two hitter retired the first 20 batters in order.

The Cubs made 15 hits to make his job a simple one all the way in the nightcap.

Minoso, practically playing on one leg, made White Sox fans wonder what will happen when he gets well, when he returned to action after missing 12 days of play, and hit a three-run homer in the first game with the score tied, then larruped two more in the second. In the opener, Bill Pierce won his fifth game on five hits while Joe Dobson missed a shutout with his seven-hitter and seventh victory in the second game when Harry Simpson homered.

Meyer outdueled Max Lanier in Philadelphia, the Phillies getting all their runs in the seventh on triples by Willie Jones and Connie Ryan, a double by Smokey Burgess, and a single by Meyer. Jansen, winning his fourth game, handed Robin Roberts his second loss against seven victories.

In a weird second game which went 0-0 for. eight innings, the Cards made three runs in the ninth, and then Pittsburgh popped. up four: to win. Three of the Pirate runs came on a homer by: pinch batter Joe Garagiola. Joe Yuhas, with relief help from Al Brazle, gained the opening victory for St.

LaStarza Evens Count With Dan Bucceroni YORK, May 31 (UP) Heavyeight Roland LaStarza was still. a big question mark today despite the return-bout victory in which he floored Dan Bucceroni five times. Stocky LaStarza of New York was on the verge of being knocked out himself three times last night before he won a unanimous 10- round decision over lanky Bucceroni of Philadelphia in the first Memorial Day fight ever staged at Madison Square Garden.
