Page Saves 5-2 NY Win Over Boston
Smoky Joe Page stars for the New York Yankees in a 5-2 victory over Boston, striking out four of five faced after entering in the eighth. Page silences the Red Sox to dampen pennant hopes as Stengel’s club maintains first place while Boston drops five back with 19 games left. In the NL, St. Louis tops Chicago 3-2 as Brooklyn edges Boston 5-4, and a bench-clearing incident between Eddie Stanky and Spider Jorgensen flares in Flatbush.
