(Photo by Fred Leitch) Cleveland Moves Up On White Sox With Eighth Straight Win United Preu International Cleveland i coming on like gangbusters, and the guy chiefly responsible is fence-buster Rocky Colavito. The rip-roaring Indians, now only a game out -of first place, have won eight in a row and they can credit their last two vic tories to Colavito's personal ac count. Rocky, whose two homers beat the Yankees Tuesday, smashed his 38th home run of the season Wednesday night to break a 4-4 tie and defeat the fading world champions, 5-4. ! Colavito came through with the clincher Wednesday night in the bottom of the eighth inning off Ryne Duren after the Yanks had tied the sco-e in the top of the frame on Elston Howard's two run double. Tile league-leading White Sox dropped a 7-6 decision to the Red .Sox and with Colavito, a notori ously strong September hitler rip ping the bull the way he is, they could be in for trouble. Leads AL in Homers Right now, Colavito leads the American League in homers and is tied with Washington's Harmon Killebrew for the most runs bat- Bop Mounties Bevos; Near Lead United Press International , Manager Charlie Metro's Van couver Mounties arc back per leirming like the Pacific Coast pennant winners they appeared to be at mid-season. The Mounties powered their way to a convincing 9-2 win over Portland to move to within a game of league leading Salt Lake Wednesday night. Joe Taylor, who has been a big reason for the Mountio resur gence after coming back down from Baltimore, teanie-l with Frank Kellert and Marv Breeding to blHst homers for the Mounties. Oilier action .saw Sacramento nip San Diego. 4-1, and Spokane crushed Seattle. 8-1. i Vancouver got VI hits off three Beaver pitchers.. Art Houtteman. the Portland starter, was charged with tho toss. A two-run single by Ray Barker and a three-run homer by Taylor in the third gave the Mounties a lead they never relinquished. . ' i Wcs Stock went the route' for Vancouver and gave up nine hits. I Carl Greene notched his 12th win of the season while pitching Sacramento past San Diego, 41. He- gave up only six hits. Dick ' Stigmao. the Padre starter, be- i came the losingest pitcher in the league as he absorbed his 15th j defeat against eight wins. I Greene struck out eight and had 1 . a ode-hitter going until the eighth inning. A two-run double by Milt i Smith was the big blow for the So Ions. , , Spokane ran its winning streak : u six games as the Indians hand ed Seattle its sixth loss in a row. 1 Stove Bilko laced three hits to lead the power backed Indians at ' the, plate. . .. George O'Donnell, who came on ; in relief in the third innings, 1 blanked the Rainiers from that point and he was credited with i the' win. " i ted in. Each has driven in 95 Baltimore reclaimed third place with a 6-3 triumph over Kansas City while Detroit moved into a tic for fourth by defeating Wash ington, 3-2. i In the National League, Pitts burgh lopped San Francisco, 5-4. in 10 innings: St. Louis beat Mil waukee, 5-2, and Chicago defeat ed Cincinnati, 9-5. Los Angeles and Philadelphia were not sched uled. Two errors by the usually smooth-fielding White Sox con tributed toward their defeat at the hands of the Red Sox. Al Smith dropped Vic Wertz's fly ball during a four-run Boston rally in the seventh and the Red Sox added two more unearned runs in the eighth. .

Jerry Walker registered his ninth vic tory with a helping hand from Milt Pappas in the eighth. Bud Daley not only lost his ninth game but was fined $A0 for hit ting Nieman on the left elbow with a pitch in the fifth inning. Bunning Fans 11 Jim Bunning, the American League strikeout leader, fanned U Washington batters but still needed the aid of three Detroit relievers to nail down his 13th triumph. Bunning had a one-hitter until the eighth. The Giants' loss to the Pirates was more a blow to their morale than to their NL lead. Since the second-place Dodgers were idle, the Giants' lead was only shuved to three games but what really hurt was the fact that Jack San- ford had Pittsburgh beat 4-0 on Poenix two hits until the ninth. Larry Jackson pitched a seven hitter against the Braves and struck out seven, in winning hit llth for the Cardinals; The t ariff hopped on Carlton Willey for two runs in the first inning and scored what proved to he the de ciding run in the fifth on Joe Cunningham's single and Ken Boyer's double. Tony Taylor collected four hits and Irv Noren drove in three runs with a pair of doubles to lead ' the Cubs to their victory over the Keds.

Heai coach Franz Haun ran his charged thiotigh a defensive scrimmage to cap tho night's drill. The drill also gave coaches a chance to work out a few kinks on offense. The practice last night was glared more to offensive practice than defense but coaches still will concentrate on what they felt was the weak point of last year's team. The team also got a little kick ing practice last night working on punting and kicking patterns. Tonight the Tigers will get another 30 minutes of tough scrimmaging in a drill that will get underway at 6:30. More of fensive work will be on the agen da tonight. A little passing and more kicking has been ordered by Haun as the opening game creeps up on the Tigers. Kenny Hildebrant was singled out by Haun for kind words fol lrwing last night's drill. Hilde brant is working out at the tackle post for the Tigers but may alo play guard during the season. The Tigers have good toam speed and Haun will rely on speed to pace the Tigers during the coming season. Dave Car man and Buck Corey, who sprint ed for the track team last spring. ari probably the two fastest men on the squad. Corey who works at the end post will provide Tiger quarterbacks with a speedy tar- et in an attack that features lot of passing. BROWN MEETS RAMIREZ BATON KOUGE, La.
