Chicago Gangbusters Break Monopoly in AL Chase
Dick Tracy styled hype as Dick Tracy nicknames and another detective venture anchor a swinging AL race. Bill Skowron drives White Sox with a seventh inning homer and ninth inning triple to beat Washington 2-1 and cut Minnesota’s lead. Skowron joins a Chicago detective agency with teammate Pete Ward, selling patrol services and patrolling in a car with radio and red light. The margin tightens as Detroit tops Minnesota 5-4 and Yankees, Orioles, and Royals win in tight AL action. Skowron back in the lineup hits .289 with 30 RBIs and seven homers while eyeing the pennant.
