Yankee Streak Up to 5 Games Indians Clip Yanks, 7-2, On 5-Hitter Chisox Keep Pace; Dodgers Win, 4-3, Over Milwaukee By BEN PHLEGAR AP Snorts Writer When even the Cleveland Indians can beat the Yankees mavbe it's time to take this five game New York losing streaK seriously. Every other American League club had defeated the Yankees this season. But in seven games the mere sight of a lork uniform caused the second place Indians to roll over and play dead, So what happened Friday night? The Yankees threw the ball around in the first inning like gitives from Class and presented Cleveland with four gift runs. Such generosity couldn't be overlooked, even by the Indians, and Larrupin Larry Doby righthander Bob Lemon made it didn't go to waste. Braves Bow Again Doby parked a pair high up into the seats in the third and fifth ning and only a do-or-die ninth inning two-out homer by pinch hitter Johnny Mize saved the kees from their third shutout of the year.

Mize's blow was the last of only five hits off Lemon. The final score was 7-2. Over in the National League the pace setting Milwaukee Braves continued to have their troubles, too. They put up a much stiffer fight than the Yankees but bowed to their second place rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers, 4-3, on a pair of two-run homers by Duke Snider and Gil Hodges. They now lead the Dodgers toy only one game.

Cards Edge Up The St. Louis Cardinals, likewise, They took over third place from Philadelphia by beating the Phillies, 7-0, and are games behind. Cincinnati won a twilight-night doubleheader from Pittsburgh, S-4, 4-1, and the New York Giants defeated Chicago, 9-6. A losing streak of five isn't too unusual but it is a little amazing in the case of the Yankees because they haven't lost any more than that in a row since cagey Casey Stengel took over as manager at the start of the 1949 season. White Sox Kendy In less than two weeks the Yanks have frittered away 3Vi games of their league lead and al though they still own a substantial eight game bulge over the Ind: the pennant runaway is beginning to look less and less like a horse race.

Even if the Indians falter, Chicago White Sox only half game behind Cleveland show definite indications of being ready and willing to take up the challenge.

That's all." Reverses Positions The move reverses the positions of the two players in the hitting lineup for the second of the three-game series. Crandall, the sensational young catcher, currently is the only regular hitting over .300. Shortstop Logan is under .250 and was removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning against the Dodgers, the first time he's been replaced at the plate since the season opened.
