In a good matchup it was the Cleveland Indians 5, the New York Yankees 3 at
Municipal Stadium.

single run on 2 hits.  The New York batters went down meekly in the 9th.

The victory was credited to Howie Pollet(4-2) who went 7 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 3 runs. Pollet got relief help from Mike Garcia who gained credit
for his 1st save.  Mel Parnell(7-2) was hit with the loss.
