They're Getting Over Yankee-itis
Chicago White Sox Are Looking Better
By Ed Wilks
The Associated Press
The Chicago White Sox have gained a little weight and appear recovered from their most recent attack of Yankee-itis, but the question is--how long can it last?
Manager Marty Marion's crew looked just as healthy a couple of weeks back. They had won six straight and edged to within 1 1/2 games of the American league-leading New Yorkers. Then the Yankees laid 'em low, winning three in a row and touching off a five-game losing streak for the Pale Hose. Before it ended they were 6 1/2 games behind and in fourth place.
Since then the White Sox have won 9 of their last 12 and 6 of their last 7 while the Yankees were losing 6 of 13.
Chicago continued to fatten up at Baltimore last night, trimming the Orioles 13-4 and cutting the Yanks' lead to four games. Cleveland, in third, is only 4 1/2 back, having defeated Washington 7-0 in the only other game scheduled.
In the National, Pittsburgh slipped into first place while enjoying a day off as Sal Maglie and Brooklyn's Dodgers combined to dump the Milwaukee Braves out of the lead 3-0. The Braves now trail by a full game- as do St. Louis, an 11-5 winner of New York, and Cincinnati, an 8-2 winner over Philadelphia.
