At Comiskey Park the Detroit Tigers were battered 7 to 2 by the Chicago White

crowd a happy bunch when he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 9th of
the season). Chicago managed 13 in their victory.
Dixie Howell(2-0) allowed no runs in 2 innings, and picked up the victory. Ned
Garver(13-9) took the loss. He allowed Chicago 5 runs in 3 innings of work.

outscored the pitiful Baltimore Orioles 4 to 3.
Baltimore was unable to recover after New York went ahead in the 4th inning
plating an isolated run on 3 hits. Baltimore threatened in the 9th but New
York was able to put down the rally.

victory. Bob Grim recorded his 2nd save. Bill Wight(3-4) took the loss.
AL Transaction August 20th
The Washington Nationals placed 28 year old righthanded reliever Bob Chakales on the DL today. In his 5th season, first with Washington, Chakales has been the Nationals best reliever. Aquired from the White Sox on June 7th Chakales is a combined 2-0 with a 2.01 ERA over 63 innings. Nationals manager Chuck Dressen hopes to have him back before the end of the season.
AL Transaction August 20th
The Chicago White Sox activated 35 year old righthander Bob Keegan from the disabled list today. In his 3rd season, all with Chicago, Keegan has struggled mightily before being placed on the DL July 16th. After a very productive 1954 season, 10-10 with a 3.65 ERA in 27 starts, 1955 has been a disaster. In 38 innings, 6 starts, Keegan is 3-5 with a 7.17 ERA. Skipper Marty Marion has scheduled Keegan to start todays ballgame and is hopeful he returns to last years form.

In a tight game it was the Cleveland Indians 9, the Kansas City Athletics 7 in
10 innings at Municipal Stadium.
The game was deadlocked at 7 after nine full innings. Cleveland won the game
in the 10th inning. Hank Foiles led off and keyed the rally when he slapped
a one-base hit. Al Smith stepped up next and he cracked a two-run shot (his
17th of the season) resulting in a mighty exciting win for Cleveland and the
23,498 home town fans in attendance. Although they lost, Kansas City did
out-hit Cleveland 17 to 13.
Jose Santiago(1-1) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. The losing
pitcher was Art Ditmar(4-12) in relief. He allowed 2 hits and no walks
without retiring a batter.
With this win, Cleveland has a 69-51 record. They have been 5-5 lately. With
the loss Kansas City now has a record of 41-80.
Ray Boone's single in the 14th inning drove in the go ahead run as the Tigers edge the White Sox 2-1.

Sullivan(12-11) absorbed the loss. He gave up 4 runs and 3 hits in 7
