WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Al Smith robbed Sammy White of a base hit.
Early Wynn was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete
game as the Cleveland Indians outscored the Boston Red Sox 3 to 2.
Cleveland came up with the deciding runs in the 8th inning with 2 runs using 3
hits. Larry Doby led off and keyed the rally when he slapped a base-hit.
Ralph Kiner got his chance to keep things going, but he went down on strikes.
After another out, Dave Philley came up and he lined a single. Sam Dente
followed and he doubled driving home two runs. Boston threatened in the 9th
but Cleveland was able to put down the rally.
Wynn(5-1) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Tom Brewer(6-5) ended
up with the loss. He was unable to control the Cleveland offense and allowed
10 hits and 3 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.
'It's a disheartening loss, no question about it' said Pinky Higgins 'But we
have to get over it and get ready for the next game.'
George Kell had 4 hits and 2 RBI as the White Sox outlast the Yankees 8-6.

In a good matchup it was the Chicago White Sox 8, the New York Yankees 6 at
Yankee Stadium.
New York fell behind quickly as the Chicago offense came through in the first
inning scoring a single run utilizing 2 base hits. New York had a chance to
come back in the 9th but they came up short.
Dick Donovan(9-2) went 8 and 2/3 innings allowing 6 runs for the win. Donovan
was helped out by Sandy Consuegra who recorded his 4th save. Whitey
Ford(7-4) was given the loss. He allowed 4 runs and 6 hits in 4 and 1/3
innings.
'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Casey Stengel said. 'It's
bad enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating
yourselves, that's really bad.'

AL Transaction June 17th
The Cleveland Indians called up 26 year old rookie outfielder Stu Locklin. Locklin is taking the roster spot of Vic Wertz placed on the DL yesterday.
AL Transaction June 17th
The Boston Red Sox signed Jim Pagliaroni as an amateur free agent (bonus baby). Pagliaroni is a 17 year old catcher from Dearborn, Michigan. He will be placed on the major league roster.
AL Transaction June 17th
The Kansas City Athletics sent 30 year old 1B Dick Kryhoski to triple A. Kryhoski had been aquired from Baltimore in the off season after hitting .270 with 22 RBI in 95 games for the Orioles last year. Due to a very slow start, .208 with 2RBI in 27 games, Vic Power has taken all the playing time at first base and Kansas City found no time for the 7 year veteran Kryhoski.
AL Recap June 17th. Larry Doby takes over the AL RBI lead with 43.

St. Louis Cardinals beat the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates 5 to 2.
Pittsburgh was unable to recover after St. Louis went ahead in the 3rd inning
scoring a single run. Hemus was hit by a pitch. Wally Moon stepped up next
and he reached on an error. Stan Musial then hit a deep fly scoring the run.
That early scoring held up. Despite losing, Pittsburgh out-hit St. Louis 10
to 6.
Haddix(6-6) finished the game allowing 2 runs in the victory. Vern Law(5-4)
was the losing pitcher. He surrendered 4 runs and 4 hits in 6 innings.

Willie Mays cracked 2 homeruns and Marv Grissom went 3 strong innings as the
New York Giants beat the Chicago Cubs by a score of 5 to 3.
Mays led the offense for New York. He slapped a single in the 2nd inning, hit
a bases-empty home run in the 6th inning and cracked a solo homerun (his 21st
of the season) in the 9th inning. Grissom pitched a perfect ninth to earn
his 5th save.
Ray Monzant(2-0) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 6 innings. Warren
Hacker(1-6) was hit with the loss. He gave up 7 hits and no walks in 5 and
1/3 innings.
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Lou Durocher said after the game. 'Monzant did not have command
of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to
pitch!'
