Detroit 3-8 BY CARL LUNDQUIST New York OJ.PJ Well, who will it be in the starting game of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, Tuesday, Oct 6 Ed Lopat or Preacher Roe? Since everything else was about settled today in the major league pennant races it seemed appropriate to speculate a little on wholl do the hurling when the Dodgers and Yankees meet again, and the two veteran lefties looked like good bets. The Yankees wound up their "wrap up the pennant week end" on a negative note yester day by losing the finale to the White Sox 3-0 on the three-hit pitching of lefty Billy Pierce, but they already had dashed the hopes of the second place Chi cagoans by winning the three previous games of the series. Rasch! Pitched Homer Bob Boyd hit Vic Raschi' first pitch of the game for a homer and added two more singles, driving in another run to pace the Sox to their anti climatic triumph. Pierce pitched his 19th victory and struck out eight to take over the major league lead again with a total CJ137. The Dodgers won 9-1 at Cin cinati on Russ Meyer's three hitter and a grand slam homer by Duke Snider which sewed it up, but their lead over Mil waukee; was reduced to seven games when the Braves defeated the Pirates 7-4 and 10-3, In other National League games the Cardinals topped the Giants 6-2 and the Phils blanked Chicago 7-0. Other Games The Red Sox dropped a 9-3 de cision to Cleveland in which Bob Avila, Joe Tipton, and Bob Ken nedy hit homers for the Indians. They made 14 hits behind Mike Garcia, who won his 14th game. Ray Murray's pinch-single in the ninth gave the Athletics a 4-3 victory over Detroit and the tems battled to an 8-8 10-inning tie in curfew-halted second game. Gus Zernial took over the American League home run leadership with blasts in both games, giving him a total of 29.- St. Louis topped Washington 3-0 with three runs in the ninth on singles by Don Lenhardt, Les Moss, and Bill Hunter plus two errors, but the Senators came back to win the second, 12-3.

Pittsburgh 4-3 Slo-Mo Shun Takes Gold Cup Event Seattle (U.R) Stan Sayres' Slo-Mo-Shun IV still was speed queen of the waterways today. The "old lady." the fastest boat in the world, upheld her reputation for the third time yesterday in winning the 46th running of the Gold Cup race, the classic of the speedboat world. Slo-Mo kicked her rooster tail wake in the face of a dozen contenders from Detroit who tried desperately to return the golden goblet to the Michigan metropolis. She toured the 90 mile grind easily to win with an average speed of 92.61 mph. Only three boats finished. More than 300,000 persons watched the race. Lee Schoenith's Gale II was the only boat that gave the Seattle champion anything like a run for her money, but even then the effort was far short of being a serious threat. Gale II was second and Jack Schafer's Such Crust III was third. MEXICAN BIRD GUIDE Chicago (U.R) The first comprehensive field guide book to the birds of Mexico has been prepared here.
