          Top 5th: Don Lenhardt robbed Ted Kluszewski of a base hit.

In a two run game the New York-AL Yankees ended a long winless drought and got
by the Cleveland Indians by the score of 10 to 8.

New York-AL jumped on top to stay in the top of the 2nd inning scoring 2
runners on 1 hit.  The critical plate appearance was by Richie Ashburn who
quieted the home crowd when he tripled plating two runs.  Cleveland scored in
5 different innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from victory.  

Joe Dobson(2-7) went 3 and 1/3 innings allowing 1 run for the victory. Fred
Sanford recorded the save, his 1st.  The loss was charged to Mike
Garcia(14-8).  He was not very effective, surrendering 6 runs in 3 innings.

'It felt really nice to get this win,' Dobson said. 'I kind of dictated the
game. It's what I get paid to do. It worked out this time.'
