Newspaper Page Textuigers Top Battles Expected to Aid Indian, BoSox Chances By FRED DOWN (United Prtu Bporti Writer) New York, July 21 (U.R)The Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees begin their first-place showdown tonight in the first clash of a three-game aeries while two uninvited gnests hope to crash the pennant party. Both the hard-driving Cleve land Indians and explosive Bos ton Red Sox planned to break Into the flag struggle in a big way while the two leaders cut their own throats in hand-to-hand struggles. A four-way race, similar to the National league's muddle, was a possibility by Sunday night. Here's how the American lea gue's "big four" shaped up: The Tigers still held a EH game lead over the Yankees but have given ground to both New York and Cleveland trace the July 4 theoretical halfway point of the race. The Yankees had won 11 of 11 games and sliced two games off Detroit's lead while Cleve land's 10-5 pace had cut a half game off it. The Tigers have i won nine of 14 since July 4. ' The Red Sox were 8lA games off the pace and had split 14 games since July 4 but were in much the same position as a year ago today when their drive on first place was gaining mo mentum. Their first-place defi cit, in fact, was exactly 8 games a year ago the same as it is today. The Sox showed they were n't ready to roll over and play dead yesterday when they spotted Art Houtteman and Detroit a 5 to 0 lead and came '. on to win, 6 to 5, on Dom Di Maggio's Uth-inning double which tallied Billy Goodman. Walt Dropo and Bobby Doerr blasted ' homers for the Sox while Pat Mullin hit an inside-the-park homer for the Tigers. Relief Pitchers Chuck Stobbs and Ellis Kinder held the Ti gers to one hit through the last eight innings, with Kinder picking up bis ninth victory of the season. Cleveland beat the Philadel phia A's, 3 to 2, in 11 innings in the only other A.L. game yes terday to advance to within 4 games of the Tigers. Sad Sam Zoldak, who relieved Steve Gromek, won his own game with a single after Bob Kenne dy's ninth-inning homer tied the score. The pressure of the four way National league scramble began to show unmistakably " on the contenders as the Car dinals, Phillies and Dodgers all bowed to second-division teams. The Dodgers suffered the most bitter blow a twin defeat at the hands of the reincarnated Cincinnati Reds last night. Ken Raffensberger held the Dodgers to eight hits to beat Don New- combe, 3 to 1, in the opener and Ewell Blackwell threw a seven- hitter to win the second game, 6 to 2. The Reds hottest team In either league have now won SI of 29 games, a .724 pace and are within a half game of the sixth-place Giants. The . Reds settled matters In the first game with a two-run rally in the first inning and snapped a 2-2 tie in the seventh Third Baseman Sold to Bearers Kansas City, July 21 UP) Leo Thomas, third baseman for the Kansas City Blues of the Am erican association, was sold out 'right to the Portland Pacific Coast league club yesterday, club officials said. Thomas will stay with the American association club until Joseph Polich, now playing i shortstop with Portland, returns to the Blues. Small Streams Poor, Other Spots Good for Fishermen All of the smaller Willamette , valley streams are now in poor shape for trout fishing and the Abiqua, Butte, Silver and Drift creeks in the Pudding river drainage have been closed be cause of low water, reports the state game commission in its weekly bulletin. The Willamette between Har risburg and Corvallis has prod uced the best trout fishing with good catches being made of cut throat being taken on spinner, worm and flat fish. Good results have been ob tained on the Santiam river through the use of grayhackle and bucktail caddie flys. In Tillamook county blue- backs have been caught in tide waters.

Seattle's Star Hurler Chases 16th By JIM HUBBART (Associated Press Sports Writer) The baseball banshees, all the jinxes and gremlins which have guarded .Pacific .Coast .league pitching records for 41 years, emerge in force tonight to haunt 28-year-old gent named Jim Wilson. When right hander Wilson takes the mound for Seattle in quest of a record-equaling 16th straight triumph, he not only must contend with the bats of the Hollywood Stars. He must also face the whammy,' scourge of all pitchers, curse of all base ball. Wilson must shoulder a bur den his team mate, Charley Schanz, could not carry last night, Schanz, just back from the American league, chucked a four hitter, yet the Hollywood ace, Jack Salyeson, beat him 1 to 0. Every mind at Gilmore field tonight will have a single thought: can big Jim tie the record set by Frank Browning of San Francisco in 1909? Wilson has been winning steadily since May 3. Seven of his wins have been shutouts. If last night's contest fore shadowed anything, then Wilson is shipwrecked before he gets aboard, Salveson and Schanz duelled scorelessly until the ninth, when Murray Franklin's bases-loaded single gave Holly. wood the game. Salveson, whose record now stands at 13-1, yield ed seven hits. It was his 10th straight win. Elsewhere along the circuit, the proceedings were nearly as spectacular. Oakland main tained its three game lead by lacing Portland in a 9 to 6 hit orgy and High Herman Besse cranked Los Angeles to a 2 to 0 shutout over Sacramento. Both he and Harry Gumbert pitched four hitters. At San Diego, Jackie Tobin's pinch hit homer with the bases full in the 10th inning gave San Francisco an 8 to 4 conquest of Cow Camp and Snow Creek areas offer good fly fishing. The lower Deschutes is clear and fly fishing in early morning and late evening reported good. $005 aadPIHT $Q20 143 or. !c:;;tucky whiskey, a biend $6 proof, 70 grol" neutral tpifltt.

Costello, starting chucker, worked four innings. During his stay the Bears tallied three times, but none of the runs was earned. Tierney came on in the fifth and promptly walked four batters and five runs were notched off him during his one third of an inning. Valentine stuck it out for innings and then turned the job of halting the Bears over to Spaeter. The latter was tagged for eight hits and five runs. Each night one of the Salem batters has come through with three hits. Last night it was AI Drew's turn. The other five blows off Dick Lamer, win ning chucker, were distributed among as many hitters. Tacoma and Wenatchee kept pace with the Bears in the hot 'Model Boy' of Ring Being Groomed with New Punches By JACK CUDDY United Frees Sporte Writer Greenwood Lake, N. J., July 21 (U.RX Here, where the Ram- apo mountains dip green fingers into a postal-card lake, blond Charley Fusari the ring's "model boy" is being remod eled for his title fight with wel terweight champion Bay Rob inson. They are scheduled for 15 rounds at Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, August 9. Slender, clear-skinned Char ley is generally rated "the nic est boy in boxing" because of his lily-white personal conduct, his devotion to his parents, his religious fervor, and his work with juvenile delinquents. Charley's aura of cleanli ness has even permeated one of his investments. The 24-year-old knockout specialist from Irvington, N. J., is a water merchant. He now owns a company that sells bot tled spring water in New Jer sey cities. And his father, Ignazio, owns a milk route In Irvington and Newark. No "giggle soup" for the Fusaris. Unfortunately, the Fusari's 'Grade A" for milk, water and deportment may have little ef fect upon the ring officials in Jersey City when Charley squares off against brown skinned Sugar Ray of Harlem, who is generally rated the world's No. 1 fighter in any div ision today. oBUfr aero 1100 MUTUAL SPIRITS OlSIIUtB f KM WAIH tOROON'S MY CIN CO.. UP., UNPEN, H. 1 Williams Starts To Exercise Elbow; Eyes Early Return Boston, July 21 (U.R) Ted Williams began a long grind of exercises and treatments today in hopes of getting his broken left elbow in playing shape be fore the baseball season ends. He was cheerful and more op timistic than the doctors who operated on him after he suf fered the injury in the All Star game at Chicago July 11. They had made no promises, but said they hoped he would be back before the season is over. 'I think I'm going to come around a lot sooner than they think," Williams said. "The arm's not painful and you can pretty well say it's going to be all right." Williams was released from the Sancta Maria hospital in Cambridge yesterday, six days after doctors removed several bone fragments from his left el bow. The cast was removed and his arm was in a sling. The stitches will probably be taken out Saturday and then whirlpool treatments will begin. WIL Standings (Br th. Associated Press) W L Pet.

That's why Tony Marsillo a swarthy, youngish, black-stub- bled trainer plans to have his modern "Kid Galahad" use new weapons of destruction in his one-night crusade against Rob inson. "He'll be nslng new punches and a different style," Marsillo explained. "We're remodel ing him for this fight. You'll be surprised when you see him at Jersey City." . Trainer Tony, a brother of Manager Vic Marsillo, added that Charlej probably could fight in his usual style and beat Robinson, "who'll be weakened by weight-making, when he pares down to 147 pounds for the first time since his fight with Kid Gavilan last July." But Tony emphasized: "We're not taking any chances. There's too much at stake. We want to be sure of winning, and I mean s-u-r-e. Naturally, I can t make public the changes we're putting in. Maybe the boxing writers'll be able to catch them when he begins sparring Saturday." With a wnile-toothed grin, he added, "And maybe they won't." Tony declined to disclose whether Fusari would have secret workouts. He admit ted, however, that Charley has been taking "special" exercise for his new style during the three weeks he has been con ditioning here at Teddy Glea son's camp. cDti mm $ M IohdohdryJ t v 'fy-j vrsr Oregonians stein's Oregonians of Eugene, who will play two games at leslie field Saturday night.

Bucky Walters Becomes Active Pitcher Again Boston, July 21 W.R) Baseball life began anew at 40 today for Bucky Walters of the Boston Braves as he doffed the robe of coach and became an active pitcher again. General Manager John Qulnn of the Braves put the veteran righthander back on the firing line in the ardent hope that his throwing arm has enough vic tories left in it to keep the sur prising Bostonlans In the thick of the pennant fight. An incidentally, Qulnn thus gave Walters an unexpected chance to enter one of baseball's most exclusive clubs the 200- victory club. The former star pitcher and manager of the Cin cinnati Reds is only two away from that sum. Walters came to the Braves this spring after one season as manager of the Reds. Up until now Walters, who was National league's most val uable player In 1030 and posted more than 20 victories in three different seasons with the Reds, has been working with the Braves' younger pitchers.
