24,577 fans watched an exciting game at Yankee Stadium.  The New York-AL
Yankees topped the Cleveland Indians by the slimmest of margins, 5 to
4.

Chuck Stobbs(6-7) delivered a fine performance for New York-AL.  He went 8
innings surrendering 10 hits and 1 walk seeing his ERA drop from 5.23 to
5.00.  Cleveland tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.  

Don Gross recorded the save, his 5th.  Tom Sturdivant(5-5) ended up with the
loss in relief.  He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an earned run
in his 1 inning of work.  

'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said Mel Gross 'but it's losing the close ones
that really hurt.'
