In a game for the baseball purist, Johnny Antonelli(3-1) and Frank
Sullivan(1-4) squared off in a tense pitching duel, Philadelphia-AL Athletics
finally emerged victorious over Cleveland Indians, 2 to 1.

Philadelphia-AL brought 2 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 3rd
inning.  That was all Antonelli needed.  Cleveland made it exciting in the
9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.  

Bob G Miller recorded his 4th save.  'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly
mental,' Mel Gross said.  'It's bad enough when the other team beats you, but
when you start beating yourselves, that's really bad.'
