Tommy Henrich smacked 2 homeruns at Yankee Stadium where the blistering-hot
New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Athletics 10 to 3.
 
Henrich enjoyed a big day at the plate.  He smashed a two-run homer in the 1st
inning and emptied the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 2nd inning.
New York banged out 7 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Tommy Byrne(2-0) got the win allowing 3 runs in 6 innings. Joe Page earned his
1st save.  The losing pitcher was Phil Marchildon(0-2).  He served up 3
gopher balls in 1 and 2/3 innings.  
 
New York extended their winning streak to 7 games. 'It seems we can't lose
these days', Casey Stengel volunteered after the game.  Then after a moment
to reflect he lamented, 'Oh great! Now I've gone and jinxed us!'

WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Eddie Pellagrini robbed Joe Gordon of a base hit.
 
First baseman Mickey Vernon had 4 hits and 5 RBI and Bob Lemon held St. Louis
to 3 hits as the Cleveland Indians clobbered the outmatched St. Louis Browns,
19 to 4.
 
Vernon provided much of the offense.  He doubled in the 2nd inning, laced a
base-knock which was good for two runs in the 4th inning, doubled which
scored a run in the 5th inning and doubled which plated a run in the 7th
inning.  Cleveland kept the scorekeepers busy in the 2nd inning when they had
5 runs on 6 hits and the 4th inning with 5 runs on 6 hits.  Cleveland
dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.  
 
The win went to Lemon(2-0) who allowed 4 runs in the game. Red Embree(1-1) was
given the loss.
