Pitchers Al Hitters Tuesday By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sporti Writtr Whatta mess That's the only way to describe the entire American League situ, ation. A lopsided race is one thing, but who ever heard of the pitch' ers still being ahead of the hit ters in late August? It's different in spring training where the hitters can claim they're rusty from the long win ter lay-off, but what excuse can they offer now after having five months to sharpen their batting eves? Oh well, maybe things will all even up by Thanksgiving Day, Tuesday night, however, it was strictly one-sided and the pitchers had a ban. , . Hurls Orw-Hlttar Moe Drabowsky of Kansas City, for example, beat Washington, 9-0, on a one-hitter in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader and the A's also took the 14-in nine nightcap, 7-5.' .: Southpaw Hank Aguirre hurled a two-hitter for Detroit in a 6-0 victory over Minnesota, while an other left-hander, Juan Pizarro of the White Sox, retired Z4 Dauers in order en route to a lu-z in umph over the Red Sox. , Veteran Dick Donovan came up with some brilliant clutch pitch ing also in leading the Indians to a 2-1 win over the Yankees. Even with the loss the Yankees still lead the leaeue by 9V4 games. The Baltimore-Los Angeles game was postponed because of rain witn tne urioics aneau, after four innings. The Dodgers increased their lead to 6V4 games in the Nation ' al League with a 7-5 victory over the Cardinals while the Braves defeated the Giants, 6-1. The Reds shaded the Colts, 10, the Pi rates downed the Cubs, 5-3, and the Mets beat the Phillies, 4-0, but lost the 12-inning nightcap, 2-1. Liston-Cloy Bout Is Off LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) - A proposed 1064 title bout between Cassius Marcellus Clay of Louis ville and heavyweight champion Sonny Liston was off today, fol lowing an announcement that ne gotiations between the two camps had "fallen aprt." Distillery executive William Faversham, a member of the Louisville businessmen's syndi cate which managers Clay, said Tuesday night the group fround Liston's terms for a 1964 bout "unacceptable." ; At Philadelphia, Bill Cherry, attorney for Inter - Continental Sports, which had hoped to stage a Clay-Liston fight there, said, "We offered Clay the best deal any challenger ever received 22V4 per cent of everything." He said that Liston and Jack Nilon, one of his advisors, will be in Sweden later this week attempting to interest Ingemar Johansson In a title fight. Liston, staying at the Thunder bird .Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., said Tuesday night he would "make sure the terms are right" for the bout next year. The champion told UPI, "Whatever the trouble is, we'll work it out." He said Nilon, who is in Phila delphia, would negotiate further in an effort to arrange a bout.

Dodgers Increase National League Lead With 7-5 Victory Over St. Louis Cards By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sporti Writtr Bye bye, Redbirds. That was about the size of it for the coolcd-off Cardinals today after the high-riding Dodgers beat them, 7-5, Tuesday night to in crease their National League lead to games. The Cardinals came into Los Angeles filled with pennant ideas following their three straight vic tories over the stumbling San Francisco Giants. One misplay killed all those ideas and the unfortunate victim was first baseman Bill White, or dinarily one of the finest players in the circuit. . Here was the situation: The Dodgers trailed, 4-2, in the fourth inning and had runners on first and second when John Rose- boro grounded to White. Trying to force speedy Willie Outshine Don Blasingame's bunt single in the fourth inning was the only hit given up by Drabowsky as he coasted to his fifth victory behind a 15-hit Kansas City attack. Jerry Lumpe gave the A's a sweep when he homered with one on off reliever Don Rudolph in the 14th inning of the nightcap. Aguirre yielded a leadoff single to Lennie Green of the Twins in the first inning and didn't allow another hit until Harmon Kille brew singled in the seventh. Pizarro's effort was similar to Aguirre's although the Red Sox nicked him for five hits. Felix Mantilla got Boston's first hit in the opening frame after which Pi zarro retired 24 batters in order before the Red Sox put together four more singles for both their runs in the ninth. Pizarro drove in three runs with as many hits. Donovan really had to work to nail down his ninth victory against the Yankees, who filled the bases with one out in the ninth. But the Cleveland right hander got pinch hitter Yogi Bcr ra to bounce into a game-ending double play. Vic Davalillo's in field single with the bases full drove in the winning run for the Indians in the top of the ninth. 6 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, McKay Drugs Wins Second Honors In Softball Tourney McKay Drug's Softball team, which captured the Twilight League championship In Roseburg recently, went through one of the most rugged tournament sessions ever forced on any team and claimed tho, runner-up spot over the weekend. It was the Springfield Invitational Tournament which hosted s 1 x teams. As the tournament pair ings came up, the Roseburg team was forced to play five games in a little more than 24 hours. When they finally moved into the final playoff game late Sunday, they were so bushed they could hardly raise their bats, according to their manager. McKay's managed to eliminate three teams from the tourney in three games earlier Sunday before they met the championship team for the title. Albany, the winner of the tourney had to defeat McKay's twice to gain the title. It topped the Rose burg squad, 6-0, Saturday night and then stopped the Roseburg team, 13-2 in the finals. In between, all on Sunday, Roseburg trimmed two Springfield teams, 7-5, and 10-7, and a Eugene team, 18-0. The real Iron man performance was put on by Troy Fennell, who pitched the last three games, all in a matter of hours. Also gaining recognition for his role was- Bill Gausnell, who was a fill-in catch er, but sparkled in all games.

' Final Tribute The Northwest Regional cham pionship game served as a tremen dous finale to a great coaching career for Bill Harper, who will move to Corvallis this fall to join the staff of Oregon State Univers ity. The Lockwoods team Tues day night handed Harper his sec ond regional championship in 11 years of Legion coaching. His 1956 team won the regionals and placed third in the national tournament. Williams, who had come on in relief in the seventh inning to pre serve a Roseburg victory Monday night, came right back without rest Tuesday night and fired a masterful near-shutout to bring the 3,501 fans who had paid their way into Legion Field to their feet in a standing ovation when Pave Sevall caught a foul pop up near first to end the game. The fast-balling Lockwoods right hander struck out 14, walked seven and held the hard-hitting Billings squad to only three hits. Beamar Bat Booms Catcher Jim Beamer, who had gone through a pair of slow nights at the plate Sunday and Monday, made up for it in spades in the championship game as he blasted out three singles and collected one RBI. I Manning, who ended the series! with a .478 batting average, hit1 two singles in four trips to the plate, collected the other Roseburg RBI and scored twice. Left fielder Mike Blomberg, whose keen eye at the plate has proven as valuable as his bat and speed several times during tho sea son, worked his way to first twice on walks and scored both times to r m i ii ii 1 1 i i imuyi CMKStrL TRUCK ENGINES uimJ ' The full story on the most advanced truck engine you can buy . . . the Cat 1673 Diesel Fleet owners, contractors and everyone else who is in the trucking industry will want to see the Caterpillar 1673 Truck Engine Display Unit.

They had a runner in the third on a walk and runners on first and second via walks in the fourth. They moved a runner as far as third in the fifth and had lone runners in the sixth and seventh. Every time, however, the plucky right-hander came through with the vital strike-out to get out of trouble. Team-wise, it was the Lockwoods greatest performance of the tour nament. As coach Harper remark ed after the game, "They were ready to play ball. They were In the best frame of mind to get out there and win a ball game they've been in all season." The Lockwoods made only two errors, and on both occasions they shook them off and went right on playing great ball.
