Their 28 hits were only two short of an American league rec ord mark of 30 set by the 1923 Yankees, and had not rookie re liever Steve Kraly yielded a run to Washington in the eighth. they would have had a modern mark for a shutout margin. The record of 21-0 was set by the 1901 Tigers and equalled by the 1939 Yankees. Casey Stengel, commenting caustically that the rash of low hit games in Washington was because of the high outfield grass which kept balls from bouncing any distance, suddenly was aware that his Yankees did not care what was out there. Sox Blow Up The White Sox, painfully aware of what was happening, blew up In Cleveland and lost, 7-4, to go seven games behind again as Gene Bearden threw balls at umpire Paparella and his glove into the stands and faced a stiff fine and suspension after Bob Avila was ruled safe at home on a close play in the seventh.

Oakland 4 By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco U.R) The Los Angeles Angels, still boiling from their recent riot with Holly wood, were the prime reason to day why their crosstown ene mies enjoyed a nine game lead in the Pacific Coast League scramble. Even though they knew they were doing the hated Hollywoods a favor, Stan Hack's Cherubs belted fading Seattle twice in a doubleheader last night to drop the Suds another full game be hind the Twinks, who barely eked out a split with Sacramento. And not to be selfish or any thing the Hackers also tightened their grip on third place in the league standings.

Singles by Les Peden and Murray Franklin then snapped the tie in the fifth and cost relief pitcher Tom Lovrich the game. The final score was 5-4. The Angels then trudged into home half of the nightcap's ninth inning trailing 8-3 and erupted for six runs to stun the Rainiers, 9-8. A pinch double by Dixie Upright was the blow that plum meted Al Widmar to his 12th loss. Kenny Gables handcuffed the Twinks with a three-hitter in the seven-inning lid-lifter to assure the Sacs a 2-0 victory. Bob Dil linger doubled in one of the runs OWJIA Jl V SEE FOR YOURSELF TONIGHT! the name millions trust TILL 9:C0 straight over the Athletics, win ning 3-2 as Billy Goodman and Hoot Evers drove in the deci sive runs in the 10th inning, The Dodgers spotted the Giants a 5-0 lead then won 6-5 as Duke Snider sparked a five- run rally with his second grand Senators against loser Junior Walsh then tripled and tallied on Johnny Ritchey's single for the other.

The blow came in the second off Cliff Fannin, who was set down for the 12th time. Gil Turner KOs Ramon Fuentes In Fifth Round New York OJ.R) Welter weight contender Gil Turner ex plained happily today that his change "from buzzsaw to ba zooka" was responsible for the cleanest one-punch knockout of his career over Ramon Fuentes as Madison Square Garden last night. The 22-year-old Philadelphian kayoed Fuentes of Los Angeles at 2:49 of the fifth round with a straight smash to the chin that stretched him flat on his back on the canvas until Dr. Vincent Nardiello entered the ring and revived him. "And from now on, I'll wait for the big opening and then go boom with the old bazooka," the world's second ranking contend er promised. "No more fighting like a buzzsaw through every round, trying to wear my man down, and maybe running out of gas myself." Gil weighed 15114 pounds; Fuentes, 151. Referee Ruby Goldstein count ed 10 over the prone Californian. He could have counted to 50. The crowd of 2,500, paying about $7,000 gave Turner an apprecia tive ovation.

(U.R) In a sport where greybeards general ly rule the roost, 29-year-old Har ry Harvey stood today as the youngest driver ever to pilot a winner of the Hambletonian Stakes. The sun tanned reinsman from Waterbury, Vt, hustled Helicopter a Canadian - owned filly, to victory in the richest re newal - of the harness racing classic yesterday at Good Time Park. - Back in 1934, the late H. M. (Doc) Parshall won with Lord Jim when he was 34 years old. That was the record that had stood until Harvey and Heli copter won two out of three heats over Bill Cane's sun-baked course. Helicopter not only helped establish Harvey as the youngest successful pilot in this famed event but also became the first Canadian-owned horse to win. She also is the first Hamble tonian winner to be sired by a previous winner, being a daughter of Hoot Mon, who set the Hambletonian record of two minutes flat in capturing the 1947 renewal.v Singing Sword performed creditably, finishing second in the first and second heats ' and third in the third, but it was Helicopter which took down the big prize of $63,126.

The scowling, beetle-browed "Moxie" came to this country in 1928 and it was almost six months before he . could get a bout of any calibre. In desperation, his manager Arthur Von Bulow, began to give anybody and everybody who might help him get a good match a "piece" of his fighter. The difficulty was that he gave away too many "pieces."

Getting Started Ten Hoff hasn't been parceled in such quantities, but after a period of frustration, his man ager Fritz Kirsch, has accepted local entanglements and Hein is moving forward in the heavy weight picture. After two nondescript bouts, in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, he finally gained a foothold in the New York area and scored a swift kayo over one Big Bill Wilson. Now, also in Schmeling's foot steps he'll campaign on the New Jersey doorstep, fighting Al bany's Jimmy Rousse in Newark on Aug. 24.
