Indians and Braves Lead On July 4 In World Series Hopes
Indians and Braves held first in their leagues on Independence Day amid a packed sports slate. The Indians split a double header with the Tigers as Eddie Lake homered for Detroit and Bob Lemon won game one. Doerr homered thrice for the Red Sox in a two game sweep of the Yankees as Raschi faltered. The Braves beat the Giants but trailed the Cardinals by a game in the standings. 2,800,000 tractors were on U.S. farms in January 1947.
