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.

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.

Williams Gets Win;
Mext Sftop--Keene! !
By BILL SPARKS
Niws-Roview Sports Writer -
Dick Williams and Keene, New
Hampshire.
Those are the words on every
one's lips in Roseburg today.
Williams fired a masterful three
hitter to stop Billings, Mont. 4-1
Tuesday night and send Roseburg
into the National American Legion
Junior Baseball Tournament start
ing at Keene, N. H. Sunday.
Williams' performance earned
him a trophy as the outstanding
player of the Northwest Regional
Tournament. Lockwood Motors'
center fielder Bob Manning, who

Tuesday night and 11 for 23 during
the tournament, won the Outstand
ing Hitter award.
The Outstanding Sportsman

Dale Scilley. '
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

McDonald then pushed a pertect
bunt down the first base line to
move Blomberg into scoring posi

Manning stepped in and drilled
a 3-1 pitch for a line shot, into cen

They had a runner in the third on

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. And at the
plate they were coming up with the
hits that really counted, as Billings
turned in a superb performance.
Coatsworth gave up eight hits,
