Yanks Come From Behind To Beat White Sox, 6-3 Berras Circuit Smash Helps Lopat Record Second Victory NEW YORK, N. Y., June 4 UP . — Eddie Lopat overcame a rocky start and Yogi gerra blasted a two-run homer today to help the New York Yankees come from behind and score a 6-3 triumph over the Chicago White Sox before 10,488 fans. In hurling the " Yankees to their third straight victory, Lopat gave up seven hits before retiring for a pinch-hitter in the eighth. The loss was Chicagos fourth in a row. Lopat, who gained his second victory against three defeats, started shakily, yielding successive homers to Sherm Lollar and Ray Coleman in the second inning to fall behind, 2-0. But the Yankees reached curve-baller Joe Dobson for two runs in the second and then went ahead with* two more in the third, never to be headed thereafter. Berra opened the second with a single to right and went all the way to third when Dobson threw wild to first on Gil Mc- Dougalds attempted sacrifice bunt. Irv j Norens single to right scored Berra and sent McDougald to third, from where he came home on Gene Woodlings dribbler just out of Chico Carrasquels reach. Berra drilled his fourth homer of the year into the lower right field stands with Hank Bauer on second to give the Yankees a -4-2 margin in the third and the White Sox, counted their final run in the fifth when Willy Miranda doubled down the right field foul line, took third on Dobsons sacrifice and came in after Car-rasquel walked and Hector Rodriguez bounced into a force play. A string of six straight singles by Noren, Woodling, Billy Martin, Lopat, Mickey Mantle and Phil Rizzuto accounted for two j inore Yankee insurance runs in the sixth and drove Dobson from the mound in favor of Chuck Stobbs, who forced Bauer to foul out, retiring the side. Dobson, who suffered his third setback against seven victories, was charged with all the Yankee runs and all 13 of their hits. White Sox manager Paul Richards was chased from the dugout by umpire Bill McKinley in the fourth inning and a few minutes later, pitcher Saul Rogovin was banished, too.
