The huge scoreboard in Yankee Stadium showed Boston leading Cleveland 5-3 aflcr eight innings. Must Be Replayed But in the ninth at Boston Al Smith coaxed Willard nixon for, a walk with two out and Bobby Avila drilled his second home run of the contest to tie the score. That's the way it stayed through seven more innings. It would up a 5-5 tie after 16 innings with the league curfew calling a halt. You can't start an inning after 12:50 a.m.. local time, and it was 12:57 a.m. by the time .the last out was li.aue in the 16th. It will have to be replayed from the start sometime later. So, by four percentage points, the Indians stayed in first place. The issue may be settled tem porarily this Weekend when Cleve land invades New York for three games starting Friday night. While the American League race was tightening, the National' League became more lopsided with the New York Giants stretching their advantage over Brooklyn to seven games, their longest lead of the year. Win in 13 biningss . The Giants won a 13-inning struggle in Cincinnati 2-1 and Brooklyn lost in 10 innings in Chi cago 3-2. St Louis defeated Philt. delphia 4-2 in the only other Na tional League action. Milwaukee and Pittsburgh were not scheduled. Other results in the American League included a 9-1 triumph by Washington over Baltimore and two more losses by the Philadel phia Athletics, their 9th and 10th in a row, this time to Detroit 12-0 and 4-3. The Giants and Dodgers' games both were decided on errors. In Cincinnati, the New Yorkers pushed across the winning run in the 13lh on a single by Bobby Hof man followed by two misplays and a sacrifice fly by Whitey Lockman. Gene Baker scored the winning run for Chicago against Brooklyn by scampering home from second base when pitcher Jim Hughes dropped an easy toss at first base that should have been the third out. Johnny Antonelli stayed all the way for the Giants in winning his 14th game against two losses. The only run against him was a homer by Ted Kluszewski. Haddix Wins 14th Harvey Haddix of the Cards joined him as a 14-gai..e winner after beating the Phils but Haddix needed ninth winning help from Gerry Stalcy. Four hits climaxed hv a triolc by Ray Jablonski pro- ducod all of the St. Louis runs in )h first inning. The Yankees pinned the fifth loss on Bob Kecgan although they were outhit 8-7.

Linn Donoso, hospitalized, and Fred Stroble recently optioned, the Star hurlers apparently feel it neces sary to go the route in every game. No relief was necessary Tuesday night as Mel Queen and Roger Bowman tossed a pair of five-hitters. The Stars won the opening game against the Seals, 5-2, and the windup, 1-0. Bobby Spicer. the little Los An. geles pitcher who throws just about every pjtch in the book, was in rare form as he held Oakland to five hits and scorei' his third shutout of the season, The Angels won, 3-0. Although Oakland couldn't dent the plate, a tinsv feminine fan sue. ceeded right after the final nut She vaulted onto the playing field, circiea me Dases in eccentric fash ion, and then did a slide into home plate in a cloud of dust just as the lights on the field went out.

Birdie Tebbetts Should Be Homed Manager of the Year By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK UP) - At the rate Birdie Tebbetts is going, there should be little difficulty in elect ing the Manager of the Year for 1954. With the National League race entering its second half, the iresnman pilot of the Cincinnati Redlegs has turned in a job little short of sensational. A year ago at this time the Red. legs, with almost exactly Uie same talent, were floundering in the sec ond division under that hard task master Rogers Hornsby. They nev er attained the .500 mark under the Kajah, and they were destined to wind up a bedraggled sixth, 37 games off the top. loaay tne slugging Westerners. goaded and smartly directed by their new manager, are battling tooth and nail for third place be hind the Giants and Brooklyn and, on their current form, must be conceded at least an outside chance of pulling one of the biggest upsets of recent baseball history. Few experts gave the club a hope of finishing any hieher than it did last season. Third place would represent a genuine, triumph for the popular Birdie. Probably the only one not great ly surprised by the way the Red legs are staying in there and slug ging with the leaders, despite their uncertain pitching. Is Teb betts himself. The stocky ex catcher who took over after a single year of minor league man agerial experience at Indianapolis never ceased to swear stoutly in the spring that he was going to climb over some clubs "and I don't give a damn which ones they are." . Sugar Ray Helps Paris Cops Grab Black Marketeers PARIS (UP) Police today said former world middleweight boxing champion Sugar Ray Rob inson was the finger man in the arrest of two black market op erators. ... Robinson, ' starring in a Paris musical revue, told police he bought $700 on the black market from the men and did not find he had been fleeced until a bank teller, told him the bills were counterfeit The boxer-dancer spotted the operators again and informed po lice. The operators were identi fied as Waclaw Souhrada, 32, of Prague, and Isidore Ben All, 33, an Algerian. TIDE TABLE TIDES FOR VAFT, OREGON (CtmallM r P. . Catst a OeeeXts Sarvas. rerUaBft, Of.)
