Yankees Clinch Early Lead In Tight American League Race
The New York Yankees moved into first place over the weekend challenging the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. Casey Stengel eyes further honors if he can keep the club on top as roster unsettled at first base and shortstop. Rugged pitching may gain from rookie Johnny Bucks who pitched a complete game against Baltimore. Skowron poised for first base duty upon return, while Rizutto and Hunter battle for daily duty and the outfield and infield remain unsettled.
