Cleveland Keeps Pace

The Cleveland Indians kept pace with the Yanks by sweeping their double-header with the Boston Red Sox by scores of 9 to 6 and 2 to 1. The second game went 11 innings.

Ken Keltner started off the Lith for the Indians with singe and then advanced to third on Jimmy Tabor's wild throw of Roy Weatherbys bunt. Ken came home with the winning run when the next Indian singled. Geoffrey Heath, Indian garden-tender, led the batting assault in the opener by connecting with three hits, including a three-bagger in the first miring with two men on base.

Ted Williams, heavy-hitting Boston outfielder, was taken from the game suffering from what appeared to be a bad ankle injury.
