The Yankees climbed into first place in the American league by a margin of six percentage points as the Cleveland Indians lost to the Chicago White Sox. Charley Keller hit his 15th hom er of the year, boosting to 23 games in a row the major league record in which one or another Yank has walloped at least one four bagger. Oh, yes the score of the ball game was 7 to 4, with the Ath letics serving as the Yankees victims. The actual deciding run, that counted in the sixth, was produc ed on Bill Dickey's triple and Phil Ruzzuto's single. Rookie Stars for Chicago Two home runs fro mthe usual ly anemic bat of Don Kolloway plunged the Cleveland Indians back into- second place in the American league in a game at Cleveland. The rookie second-baseman staged a one-man show to lead his Chicago mates to an uphill 6-to-4 triumph over the Indians be fore 13,000 ladies' day customers. He not only hit two circuit drives, but also got a single and stole four bases including home In the ninth for Chicago's sixth run. George Mcuuinn belted a tre mendous two-run homer in the tenth inning at Detroit to give the St. Louis Browns a 3-to-l victory over the Detroit Tigers after'Bu'ck Newsom had wild-pitched the ty ing run home in the ninth. It was the. well-paid News om's 11th setback ot the season against five victories. McQuinn's drive with Relief Pitcher Jack Kramer on base struck the third deck in right field for what park officials said was the fourth longest homer ever nit into that sector. Newsom, who yielded one hit over the first sev en innings, permitted Chet Laabs to score from third on the wild pitch with two out in the ninth. Dodgers Drop Full Game Behind Pinky Higgins' single that fol lowed two passes off starter John ny Niggeling in the fourth gave Detroit what seemingly was the winning run in a mound duel. But Newsom, who faltered last time out against the New York Yankees with but one batter to retire, again was unable to put down the up rising. Bill Zuber. heretofore a relief hurler, pitched Washington to a 3-to- victory over the Boston Red Sox on the home lit with the able support of the Washington Infield, credited with five double piays. The Brooklyn Dodgers and their high-priced pitching specialist, Kirby Higbe, ran out of gas at the same time in Boston today, dropped a ball game to the Braves and sank a full game out of the National league lead. 'Bama Rowell caught hold of one of Higbe's slants with a mate on base in the sixth inning, knock ed it out of the park and enabled the Braves to come from behind to take a 3-2 decision, ending both Brooklyn's six-game winning streak and Higbe's four-game vic tory run. Stan Benjamin scratched a single to the box with two on and two out in the 12th inning in New York to send a home run home and give the Phillies a 3-to-2 overtime victory over the Giants. The Cincinnati game at St. Louis was postponed because of rain. The Pittsburgh Pirates' inner defense approached two major league records for activity today, but cracked on- two critical plays that allowed the Chicago Cubs a 3-to-2 victory. . Jim Londos. rated the greatest wrestler since the immortal Frank Gotch, will make his first ap pearance in Eugene next Thursday nignt as the feature performer On Promoter Herb Owen's show at the fairgrounds arena. The Greek grappler, exponent of clean scien tific mat work, is the recognized heavyweight champion of the world and has been a leading wrestler for nearly 20 years. tvery one of the matmen in the Pacific northwest at the present time clamored for the meeting with the champion, but Owen se lected Walter Achlu, popular Chi nese veteran. Achiu, expecting to get the nod. has been training for the match for two weeks and will enter the ring at close to 190 pounds as compared to Londos' 19S pounds. Achiu now weighs 186 pounds. This will be one of Londos' few Cullenbine Gains In Batting Race NEW YORK, June 28 P) Long Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox still is setting opposing pitchers frantic. His batting ave rage today was .411, far and away the best in the major leagues. Pete ' Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers continued to lead the National league with .356, but there were no fewer than five batters in the American league above this figure. The week's important hitting development in the latter circuit was the spurt of Roy Cullenbine of the St. Lopis Browns, who inflated his average 23 points to .360. The rise lifted him into third place in the American league, 17 points behind the steady slugging of Cleveland1 Jeff Heath. Reiser dropped 10 points In the National league race and was threatened by Johnny Mize .of the St. Louis Cardinals, who pumped his batting up 11 points to .353. t LONDOS Sacs Strengthen Coast League Lead COAST Sacramento Seattle S9 25 42 37 44 39 40 42 S8 43 35 44 35 46 32 48 .91 .532 .530 .488 .46 .443 .432 .410 San Diego San Francisco - Los Angeles Hollywood Oakland Portland CI Night game. HOLLYWOOD, June 28 ") George Turbeville's five-hit pitching gave Sacramento a 7-3 victory over Hollywood today. It took Turbevllle two innings to warm up, and then he fanned 10 men. Only Johnny Dickshot had the Sacramento righthander's number. The Hollywood outfield er drove in all ot the Hollywood runs with a single, double and homer.

Eugene Prep All-Stars Play Roseburg Juniors meetings with a lighter opponent. He told Owen that he found his heavier rivals easier to beat than light-heavyweights because he used his speed and strength to ad vantage. Against a grappler near his own speed, plus the threat of jiu-jitsu, the champion may have an extremely busy evening. Londos specializes in a standing leg split, known here as a leg corkscrew, and all of his holds are punishing to rivals. The Greek matman is perfection in applying the standard holds and the head liner will no doubt be the great est scientific battle in locai mat annals. Although Owen must guaran tee Londos a large purse he plans to sign one of the strongest sup porting cards of the year. Joe Hunt Captures College Net Crown HAVERFORD, Pa., June 28.
