Indians 2, White Sox 1 (8-7)
A solid start by Bruce Howard went to waste in the White Sox 2-1 loss to the Indians. Howard gave up a single run on only two hits and two walks with five strikeouts in eight innings. Bob Locker gave up a key run as well and the insurance run ended up being the difference between a loss and sending the game into extra frames.
The White Sox only run of the game came in the bottom of the ninth when Tommy McCraw hit a solo homerun. The White Sox did manage seven hits but they were all by different players.

White Sox 4, Indians 2 (9-7)
The White Sox salvaged a split in their doubleheader with the Indians and also but they won their three game series with the win. Jim O’Toole gave up two early runs but the White Sox chipped away at the lead a run at a time. Hoyt Wilhelm picked up the win with four shutout innings to close out the game.
Tommie Agee got it done with the bat. He drove in two runs while Don Buford walked twice and scored two runs.
