Cleveland's Indians are riding1
'heir hottest streak of the season!
and Cal McLish is back in stride j
a winner for the first time in more j
than a month, but still trying to
shake a shutout jinx.
The big right-hander, whose lone
whitewash job in the majors came
eight years ago, pitched the In-
juns to their seventh straight suc-
:ess and a full-game lead in the
American League race with a 4-1
victory over the Boston Red Sox
Tuesday night.
It was the fifth time this season
McLish has come close to nailing
hat long-pursued second shutout.
He missed by inches when Marty
Keough's seventh-inning drive
icked outfielder Rocky Colavito's
glove and got away for a home
run.
The New York Yankees helped
Cleveland along by defeating Chi-
cago's second place White Sox 5-1.
Detroit at Baltimore and Kansas
City at Washington were rained
JU(.

uvorite pigeons. He beat the Red
Sox for the fifth time in a row
since last June 26, giving up six
aits, walking but two and striking
out six for his first complete
game since May 8. He is 7-1 life
against Boston.
The Indians plunked the Red
Sox back into a last-place tie with
Washington on a two-run hornet
by Dick Brown in the fifth inning
against loser Ted Wills (2-2). It
.vas Brown's first of the year, but
Cleveland's 18th in the streak
one shy of the AL record for seven
games held by the 1936 Yankees
and 1940 Red Sox.
The Yankees mined within a
single game of fourth place Balti-
more behind the four-hit pitching
of Art Ditmar <5-4 •, who won his
fourth in a row. The Sox scored
in the first inning on a double by
Nellie Fox and Sherm Lollar's
single, then managed only a pair
of singles by Norm Cash the rest
of the way.
Billy Pierce < 7-7) was the loser
checking the Yanks on three hits
until they broke a 1-1 tie with two
runs in the sixth on Mickey Man-
tle's triple, a hit batter, Hec Lo-
pez' double and Bobby Ricard-
ioo's sacrifice fly.
Lew Burdette won his 10th for
the Braves, but failed to go the
distance for the fifth time in a
•ow when the IJedgers, shut out
for seven frame*, scored twice in
he ninth. John Roseboro's double
and a walk brought on reliever
Don McMahon, who gave up a
wo-run single by Charlie Neal be-
fore getting Wally Moon on a pop
up that ended it. Moon, who was
l-for-5, had tripled home a run
and scored himself in a two-run
eighth.
The Braves, shut out for 22 in-
nings before a bases-loaded walk
gave them a two-out run in the
first, wrapped it up with four runs
n 'he seventh after two were out,
ending Johnny Podres' winning
string at t.ve. Singles by Casey
Wise. Hank Aaron, who slipped
below .400 for the first time, and
Frank Torre, and Del Crandall's
two-run double did it.
Bob Friend 13-81 won it for the
Pirates, who broke a 1-1 tie with
four runs after two were out in! gle beat Dave Hillman (3-5) as
the ninth. Don Hoak's two-run , the Bucs won their fifth decision
double and Friend’s two-run sin- j in the last six.
