Dick Allen drove in four runs with a homer and single to provide the winning support for Wilbur Wood, who pitched the White Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Indians. Allen hit his homer off Dick Bosman after singles by Pat Kelly and Jorge Orta in the first inning. Tommy McCraw accounted for the Indians' tally with a round-tripper in their half of the first. Singles by Kelly and Allen produced the last two runs for the White Sox in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
