Washington, Sept 11 The New York Yankees swept into first place in the American League pennant race by taking a doubleheader from the Washington Senators 5-1 and 6-2 behind Ed Ford and Ed Lopat. Ford, 21, remained unbeaten in his sixth straight win as Jensen, DiMaggio and Berra sparked an early-innings rally. Lopat allowed only two hits in 4 2 3 innings of the second game, aided by a three run homer by an unnamed opponent. The results left the Yankees a half game ahead of idle Detroit with Boston idle as well.
