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

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.

ed the Pirates hack into the lead.
Both came in the fifth inning.
The Dodgers scored the clincher
against the Cards on an error.

Drain Team
In 7-3 Test
The Salem Senators of the
Northwest League handed the
Drain Black Sox their second set
back of the year Tuesday night
at Drain with a 7-3 victory.
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.
Drain dented the plale for a solo
counter in the bottom of the fifth
on a combination of a single by
Vern Marshall, a single by Bill
Beard and a deep infield single by
Norm Welch. The ball was thrown
wild to first base for an error, al
lowing the run to score.
The Black Sox hit for two more
in the next stanza on Ray Strat
ton's safety., a walk to Dick Duerr,
a fielder's choice and a rousing
double off the bat of Don Kirsch.
Essegian was the big thumper
for the game as he collected 3-4,
including his two-run homer, driv
ing in five runs for the game.
Mcl Krause added to tho hit pa
rade with 3-4, all singles.
Drain will journey to Salem to

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hollywood's Stars might see
their nine-game winning streak pay
off Wednesday night although it
hasn't lifted them much in the Pa
cific Coast League standings.
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.

162 Golfers Await Tee-off
In National Open Thursday
ROCHESTER, N.Y. 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

Canyonviilc.
In the future, the club plans to
hold another series of obedience
lessons and anyone interested may
attend the club meetings which
are hold at 7:30 p.m. at the fair
grounds pavilion the second and
fourth Mondays of every month,
according to Airs. Don Wright.
