o
Yanks Trim Chisox Lead;
Cleveland Defeats Boston
By JACK HAND
AiaocUUd PrM SporU Writer
The Chicago While Sox's chances
of holding first place on the tradi
tional July 4th dividing line hinge
on the next five gamei with New
York and Boston.
If Paul Richards' White Sox ran
aafely skirt the Yanks and Red
Sox series on the road they'll go
home with a comfortable lead.
How to beat the Yanks was one
lesson the White Sox failed to learn
from Maestro Richards. Losing
seven of 10 to New York cost
them a chance to pile up a safe
margin. Their lead, once measur
ing five games, has been whittled
to 2W.
Fresh out of pitchers, both the
White Snx and Yanks fall back on
unreliable workmen for today's fi
nale of the current series at Yan
kee stadium. Either Howie Judson
or sore-armed Saul Rogovin will
work for the Sox against Spec
Shea, who was treated roughly on
relief in the series opener.
Richards gut a well pitched
lime by Billy Pierce yesterday but
ost, 2-1, when the Sox threw away
countless chances. Over-ambitious
base running, one of their prime
assets, backfired on the fleet Sox.
Eddie Lopat seemed on the verge
of collapse several times but man
aged to last the route for his loth
victory. He allowed 10 hits to five
oft Pierce.
Two Big Hits
Hank Bauer came up with two
big hiti when they counted most
while Chicago left 10 men
stranded. Bauer led off the seventh
with i single and scored the tying
run. In the eighth his soft lnoper
over Chico Carrasquel's head for
a single drove home Mickey Man
tle with the winning run.
Cleveland, which followa Chicago
into Yankee stadium, cut loose
with an 18-hit attack at Boston to
whomp the Red Sox, 14-8.
Bobby Avila unloaded three
home runs and single a total
of IS bases, only two short of the
league record held jointly by Ty
Cobb and Lou Gehrig.
While the upper crust of the
league wrestled for the important
positions, the aecond division
small-fry did some jousting on
weir own.
Detroit aplit a twi-night double
with the Philadelphia A i, winning
t-z ana losing 5-4. The even break
let the A'a out of the cellar be
cause St. Louis lost to Washing
ton, 51. That combination left the
Brownies in exclusive control of
the dungeon.

Tommy Holmes found the secret
of managing his very first day on
the job. Just start Warren Spahn.

stop Gene Baker's qualifications
for membership tn the bum-of-thc-month
club.
It may he unkind tn pin the
rap on Mr. Baker for Sacramento's
4 3 triumph over Los Angeles last
night, but he did throw the ball
away in the 14th inning to let the
winning run score.
To make it worse, that run was
the third unearned marker which
beset Doyle Lade of the Angels
in his losing duel with Glenn El
liott. It was the second overtime con
test In two nights and reminiscent
of Tuesday's 18 inning affair be
tween Hollywood and Portland.
These teams played again last
night to an identical 4 3 conclusion.
Hollywood winning but In regula
tion time.
Tied For Third
The victory, accomplished bv
way of Chuck Stevens' triple in the
8
Weft 11
eighth inning, left the Stars tied
with Oakland for third place.
The Seattle Rainiers maintained
their two game lead with a 5-0
conquest of the tail end San Fran
cisco Seals. Hector Brown pitched
the shutout, allowing nine hits.
Oakland edged out San Diego,
5 4. with a five-run outburst in the
eighth that included two San Di
ego erros, a double by Iorenzo
Cabrera, and a two-run single by
Earl Rapp. The victim was Sam
Jnnes, the PCL strikeout king.
Seattle plays a double header at
San Francisco tonight to make up
their Tuesday postponement. The
I Rainiers will pitch Marv Grissom

(00) against Al Lien (9-2) and
Manny Perez (2-4). Other prob
ables include; Portland (Marino

Umpqua
Mismatch Called
In Seventh Canto;
Score 16 Runs
Luckily the game was called at
the end of the aeventh Inning last
night at Finlay field. Scoring al
most at will, 'the Umpqua Chiefs
swamped Elkton, 16-1.
The Chiefs left no doubt from
the first as to the eventual outcome
of this week's mismatch. With a
flurry of five hits in the opening
frame, the Roseburg batters
pushed across six runs. From then
on it was a question of how large
the acore would be.
After a two-run break in the
second, the Chiefs were held score
less until the fifth when they
racked up six more. Again in the
sixth they added two for the final
tally. In both the first and tilth,
they batted around the lineup.
The only unusual aspect of the
game was the size of the statis
tics. In all. the Chiefs picked up
12 hits. Les Winders cracked out
a homer in the fifth, Norvall Rit
chie and Jerry Cade doubled and
Ken Ayers tripled. 10 add to the
size of the score, the Elkton team
committed a ragged eight errors.
Hits Shaky Streak
The Elks scored their only run
when starting pitcher Jerry Cade
hit a shaky streak in the second
inning. The first three men at bat
for Elkton in that frame collected
singles. Carl Hershbereer ac
counted for the team's tally by
singling Louis Sczypioroski home.
Aside from this slight Elkton up
rising, the two Chief pitchers had
no trouble in setting the Elks down.
Cade settled down after the second
and started piling up more strike
outs. For the four innings he hurled,
he struck out eight men. Mickey
Coen came in in the fifth and in
his three innings struck out five
Dick DeBernardi had his best
day at bat in two years. He re
placed Hal Zurcher in the fifth and
in two times at bat, singled twice,
batted in one run and acored two
himself. Zurcher was the only
other Chief to get more than one
hit. He singled twice in three times
at the plate.

The meet will be run in two sec
