THE DETROIT DAILY PRESS Page 7 The New York Yankees can do no worse than finish tied for the American League pennant! Only the Chicago White Sox have a chance to catch the Bronx Bombers. In the National League, it's still the St. Louis Cards on top by a half game over Cincinnati with the Phillies IV2 games back and San Francisco two off the pace. In fact, it's possible for the N. L.

chase to wind up in a four-way tie. For that to happen, the St. Louis Cards would have to lose their remaining two games with the New York Mets, while Philadelphia beats Cincinnati in its final game Sunday and the Giants take their last two from the Chicago Cubs. The perennial champion Yanks reduced their magic number to one for sewing up an outright flag Friday night by beating the Cleveland Indians, 5-2. The White Sox kept alive their hopes for a tie by taking Kansas City, 3-2 and 5-4.

Whitey Ford turned in a sparkling four hitter to post his 17th win and didn't allow a batter past second after the second inning. The Yanks scored all their runs in one inning with a two-run double by Elston Howard and a three-run circuit by Tom Tresh, the big blows. Juan Pizzaro received credit for his 19th win and Hoyt Wilhelm gained his 21st save in the White Sox opening win. In the nightcap, the Chisox blew a 3-0 lead, then rebounded to win in the ninth on a single by Don Bufford, two passed balls, two intentional walks and a single by Bill Skowron. Wilhelm was the winner.

The Cards blew a golden opportunity when they lost to the lowly New York Mets, 1-0. Cincinnati dropped a 4-3 verdict to the Philadelphia Phillies, who finally snapped a 10-game losing streak. San Francisco breezed past the Chicago Cubs, 9-0. Al Jackson was too much for the Cards. He scattered five hits as he picked up his 11th win of the season.

The Cards mustered only one serious threat when they jammed the bases in the eighth. The game's lone run off loser Bob Gibson (18-12) came in the third inning. George Altman, an ex-Cardinal, singled, stole second and came around to score on a single by Ed Kranepool. A four-run uprising in the eighth inning pulled Phillies out and jolted the Reds' hopes of moving into first place. Jim O'Toole of the Reds was breezing along.

fin a three-hitter until the Phillies erupted. Richie Allen slugged a two-run triple and ex-Detroit sandlot star Alex Johnson singled in what proved the winning mark off Bill McCool, who suffered the setback in relief. The win went to Ed Roebuck, the second of three Philadelphia pitchers who relieved Chris Short in the second after the Reds had jumped in front, 3-0. The Phillies outhit the Reds, 8-4. Bob Bolin was on the mound and had no trouble for the Giants.
