Wed., June 13, 1956 Pittsburgh? The Pirates are still hot, winning 7 of the 12 games they've played this month. But so have the Cincinnati Redlegs. Brooklyn? The world champions are looking real healthy, winning 8 of 13 in June. But the Chicago Cubs have won 9 of 12. It's been a confused month so far. The lead has changed hands three times in 12 days. Pittsburgh has a half-game edge at the mo ment, after knocking the Redlegs into second with a 4-3 decision last night. The Dodgers kept edging toward the ton, banging St. Louis 6-4 and dropping the Cadinals, who have lost 7 of 13 this month, to fourth. Chicago, hustling out of the cellar in its hot streak, knocked New York loose from sixth place by whacking the Giants 8-5. Milwaukee, in first May 31. is a solid fifth at the moment, los ing its ninth in the last 12 in a 5-2 pasting by Philadelphia. The American League race is easier to figure. The New York Yankees are 4'3 games to the good after making it 6 out of 6 against the third-place Chicago White Sox 4-2. Runner - up Cleveland was beaten at Boston 9-7. Detroit beat Baltimore 8-1 to regain fifth from the Orioles. Kansas City broke out for six runs in the 15th inning to take Washington 9-3. A pinch two-run homer by Jack Shcpard and a follow-up two-run smack by Robert Clemente hoist ed the Pirates hack into the lead. Both came in the fifth inning.

Boston uncorked five runs in the seventh on Ted Williams' KUl ilou hie that tied it 5-all, a three-run homer by Ted Lopcio and a solo poke by Pete Daley. Early Wynn lost nis mirn wnuc r ranit aumvan won his f if til. Billy Ilocft won his seventh, chipping in a two-run double in Detroit's six-run eighth.

Jerry Cade, on the mound for Salem, allowed nine hits to his ex mates over the nine inning route, gaining credit for the win. Dick Duerr was the losing hurler. The Senators made good use 'of nine hits, including a two-run hom er by outfielder Chuck Essegian in the first inning as they scored three runs in the lirst, two in the fifth and two more in the seventh. Salem jumped off to a three-run lead in the initial frame with Esse gian's homer being the big blow. They added two more in the top of the fifth on Mel Krause's single, another safety by Essegian and a single by Bob Esterbrook. The final Senator runs came across the plate in the top of the seventh as Gene Larson walked followed by another single by Krause, with both runners advanc ing on a passed ball. They both scored, as Essegian rapped out his third hit of the game with a line shot to center.

The Stars were 14V4 games be hind first place Los Angeles when they started their streak June 4. They got No. 9 Tuesday night, 8-5, over San Diego but are still in sixth, 10 games behind. San Di ego leads them by one percent age point for fifth and Portland, in fourth, is a half game up. Another Hollywood victory over San Diego Wednesday night and a win by first place Los Angeles over Portland would lift the Stars up to fourth. Los Angeles uncorked its bat ting power in the sixth Tuesday to beat Portland 7-4. San Francisco dropped second place Seattle to 1V4 games behind the Angels and Jerry Casale won his eighth against three losses and got a tie-breaking homer to boot. The score was 5-3. Sacramento's Joe Stanka struck out nine Van couver Mounties in an 8-4 win. Hollywood's six-run third inning beat San Diego. Winner Lino Do noso started the rally with a sin gle. The Stars got four walks, two intentional, and four hits in that inning. Bill Gabler and Joe Duhem singled in two runs each. Portland starter Bob Darnell had a one-hitter until Casey Wise, Steve Bilko and Bob Speake slammed solo homers in the sixth. The An gels went ahead to stay in the seventh on one of Bilko's two dou bles. He brought in three runs for the night. Los Angeles' Dick Drott fanned 11 baiters as he got his seventh win with help from two reliefers. It was Portland's fifth licking in a row after a victory string of eight straight. Jim Baxes, gen erally a good hitter, fanned five times. Until those three homers in the sixth Portland appeared to be heading for a break in the loss string. Los Angeles was behind 1-2 at the start of the inning. In both the eighth and ninth Portland threatened but fell short. In the eighth a rally was nipped after one run was in, two on and only one down. The ninth started as though it, too, would get Port land out in front. One run scored and two wore on with none out. Then Gene Fodae came in and ended the threat. Casale's solo homer put San .Francisco ahead 4-3 in the eighth I after a tight, see-saw battle. The Seals got a spare in the ninth when Bob DiPietro's single brought in Sal Taormina. Sacramento ran up a 6-0 lead on Vancouver in three innings. The big one was the four-run third in which Jack Crawford and Nippy Jones walked, Al Heist doubled, Jerry Streeter walked and Stanka singled. Felix Mantilla closed it out with another single.

I In the fifty-five years of the National Open Golf Championship there never has been a situation wjiere a player came up to the 72nd hole needing to hole the last putt to win. There have been several occa sions when a player had a putt to tie and made it, but never the one where it was win or else on the final shot. And 162 golfers here this week wouldn't complain if they were the first to face that situa tion. 'I'd like to be in that position," said Ed Furgol, the 1954 winner who breezed in with a 284 at Baltusrol and then watched Gene Littler fail on a final bid to match his score. "The Open is a prestige tourna ment. That's why there's so much pressure attached to it. In the others it's just money." Furgol left the implication that a second Open victory would give him the unquestioned stamp of greatness. Then he went out ana showed that he might make it by shooting a practice round of 67 one of the best of the week over the 6,902 yard, par 35-3570 Oak Hill course. Cary Middlecoff, the 1949 Open winner, grudgingly agreed with Furgol. The 56th National Open could easily be the first in which the championship might be decided on the final stroke. The wide open Oak Hill course does not present any particular problems to the pros who play the weekly tournaments. Predictions are lhaLfour par rounds a 280 total or a little higher will be enough to win. The field includes a couple of dozen players who may hit that figure if conditions are right. Play starts at 7 a.m. Thursday. Jack Fleck of Davenport Iowa, the defending champion and probably the most overlooked player in the tournament is scheduled to tee off at 9 a.m. Gernan Shepherd Wins Umpqua Kennel Contest An obedience trial was held Mon day evening for dogs graduating from training lessons which the Umpqua Kennel Club has been conducting.
