son. Portland grabbed a 1-0 lead in
the second inning when Clarence
Moore reached first on a single

on a wild throw. Moore stole third
and scored on Jim Westlnke's
Sacrifice fly.
' The Beavers picked up another
run in the sixth to move into u

was a different story. Roger Osen

Curt Barclay of Phoenix . four
hitted Vancouver in a 5-0 shutout,
and a pair of Salt Lake pitchers
scattered 10 safeties in a 3-2, 12

performance, limiting the last-

Spokane scored i!s only rjn off i
Osenbaugh in the ninth inning
when ,Fred Hatfield reached sec
ond base on an erior, then came
home on Tommy Davis' double. I

Osenbaugh, "no picked up his
third win against the Same '.num
ber of losses, struck out six and
walked four.
The Sacs collected only five hits
off three Indian hurlers, three by

The win, which halted a five-
game Spokane winning streak
sent the Solons into a 2'j game
lead over second-place Vancouver.
Barclay allowed just one runner
past first base to pick up his sixth
win for Phoenix. Charlie White
led off the third inning with a
triple for the Mounties, but he
was left stranded when the Giant
right-hander shut the door.
Losing pitcher Chuck Estrada
also turned in an estimable hurl
ing performance, striking out 10
batters in the eight innings he
worked. But he gave up two runs
in the fourth when Willie Mc
Covey homered with one aboard
and that was all the lead Barclay
needed. The Giants added three
runs In (he ninth off reliever Dick

Hod Graber belted two doubles
and a single in four trips to pace
San Diego's batting attack. The

Casey, Yanks Move;
Mantle Ford Help
By MILTON R1CHMAN
UPI Staff Writer
Casey's finally making his
move just as he said he would
and it must delight the old boy
that he even called the turn on
the two men who would help him
do the moving.
The two. of course, are Mickey
Mantle and Whiley Ford.
"We'll be all right," Casey
Stengel told the worried Yankee
urass when the club hit rock-botv
torn a month ago. we 11 be all
tin:
ght as soon as Mantle starts hit
ting again and I can get rord
to go nine."
So it certainly comes as no sur
prise to Stengel that his Yankees
are back in the first division
again, only two games away from
the top, now that Mantle and
Ford are beginning to click again.
Mantle cracked out his third
homer in two days Tuesday night
and Ford turned in a nifty five
hitter to pace the Yanks to a 10-2
victory over the Athletics.
White Sox Climb
The White Sox climbed to with
in a game of first place with a
4-1 victory over the Senators; the
Orioles moved to within, a game-and-a-half
of .the top by beating
the leagueOeading Indians, 5-1,
ar.d the Red Sox knocked the Ti
gers out of the first division with
a 10-4 win. 1
In the National League, the
Braves stretched their lead to two
games by clipping the Cardinals,
9-5, while the Pirates licked the
second-place Giants, 5-1. The
Dodgers edged the Phillies, 4-3.
and the Cubs topped the Reds,
3-1.
Early Wynn of the White Sox
became the first AL pitcher to
win 10 games when he halted the
Senators on eight hits, one of
which was Bob Allison's 19th
homer.
Young Milt' Pappas of the Ori
oles picked up his seventh victory
by holding the Indians to five
hits. Pappas blanked the Tribe
until Woodie Held hit his 12th
homer in the eighth.
Williams Back in Lineup
Ted Williams, Jackie Jensen
and Frank Malzone each hit hom
ers for the Red Sox against the
Tigers. Jensen drove in four runs
with three hits that included his
14th homer with two on in the
ninth. Williams returned to the
lineup after nine days on the
bench because of weak ' hitting
and had a homer and a single
in three official trips.
Del Crandall was the big gun in
Milwaukee's win over St. Louis,
driving in four runs to help Carl
ton Willey to his third victory.
Crandall doubled home two runs
in a three-run first inning and
I broke a 3-3 tie wilh a two-run
nomer in me nun.
Big Dick Stuart lashed out
three singles and a home run in
helping Vern Law of the Pirates
beat the Giants. The victory was
Law's eighth against four defeats
and he achieved it with a six-hit
effort. '
The Dodgers mustered only five
hits off Gene Conley of the Phil
lies but three of them were home
runs by Junior Gilliam, Gil
Hodges and Don D e m e t e r.
Hodges' homer, his 11th of the
season, was the 331st of his ca
reer and moved him to an nth
place tie with Hank Greenberg on
the all-time home run list.
Glen Hobbie of the Cubs scored
his seventh victory in beating the
Reds. He yielded- eight hits, four
of them to Frank Robinson.. Tony
Taylor, with two doubles and a
single, paced Chicago's 10-hit at
tack. Portland Gets
