There’s murder goidg.en in the west-and the New York -Yankees are screaming for assistance. he Last week the champions of the baseball world headed west- ward in the hope of picking up ground they had lost while perform- ing before Yankee fans at New York. They were after dropping four of their last five starts when Stengel took them in their first western swing. Things were bound to pick up or so the Yankees Se what happens? THEY PLAY ONE in Chicago and lose it in 11 innings. The next night Cleveland Indians fight back in the tenth to drop the Bombers on the strength of Tito Francona’s home run biast. The following afternoon the Tribe didn’t need any extra innings to dispose of the defending champions of the world. Sunday the Stengelmen are given a soft touch. They were the’guests of Detroit Tigers who had a record of two wins and fifteen losses entering twin bill. The Tigers had just fired manager Bill Norman and for the first time, under the direction of Jimmy Dykes. It like the Yankees had finally found the ‘cousin’ they were . Here was the chance to start their comeback. A LL, YOU KNOW how far the New Yorkers got at Briggs | ium. Here was the spot where everybody but the Tigers had ng a whale of a lot of fun all season. The Bengals were all over the ballifield by eve who had visited them j is year. If everyone else could do it, so could the Yan- at least that’s what the majority of folks thought. Well, the majority of folks didn’t hit it right this time. Jimmy did a little shunting of players and in the shunt he took Charlie Maxwell off the bench. All Charlie was able to do was tie neajor league record of belting four consecutive home runs as | lowly Tigers really snarled at and clawed the Yankees im both ends.of the doubleheader. " oH i g” WHEN SPORT'FANS read the league standings Monday mortn- | , it was really hard to believe what they saw. At the tep of the | heap was Cleveland with a 13-5 record, good for ‘a_-722 percentage. Down in seventh place, right next door to the basenient, were New ! York Yanks with a 7-12 record and a .368 percentage. That left | the Stengelmen 62 games off the pace. If any of these folks reading Monday's sport pages hadn't been following the American League happenings, they probably thought what appeared on those pages was in error. Yankees in seventh ‘place couldn’t possibly be rigpt.\These Yankees were the cream Rg of the baseball world in 1958. ‘These Yankees wre again supposed |. to run away the flag in the junior circuit. There must be some mistake in those standings. HOWEVER CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK and you'll find those standings are correct. The Cleveland Indians are actually ‘enjoying that 2% game bulge over their nearest rivals Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Athletics. All three were deadjocked with 11-8 records prior to last night’s games at! Kansas City with Boston Red Sox. Even Washington Senators, heading the second division,-were only 3% back and they were playing over .500 ball. Sure, you can laugh it off and say the season has only started. But keep in mind that Yankees have an awful lot of ground to make up. Other years they got away fast and they eased home. If they make it home in front this time, you can bet your last doliar they won't ease~in.* It has been 19 years since the New Yorkers have fallen so, low at this stage of the proceedings. The last time the Yankees! found themselves in such a fix after the first three weeks was} way back in 1840 whn they hit the league bottom with a 6-13 record. The Detroit Tigers went on to win the pennant that year. The Yankees finished third. : Something like that could happen again this season.

KANSAS CITY ‘AP) — Two |door-slamming performances by relief pitcher Bill Monbouquette and lusty hitting by Dick Gernert and Jackie Jensen paced Boston Red Sox to an 84 American League victory Monday over Kansas City Athletics. The bases were filled with none out when Monbouquette took over from. starter Frank Baumann in the bottom of the second. He struck out Dick Williams and Hector Lopez and got Roger Maris to bounce to Gernert at first. Monbouquette himself filled the Derby: Winner In Preakkness LOUISVILLE, Ky.
