United Press Sports Writer Nelson Fox weighs in at a mere 142 pounds, tobacco chaw and all, but he's swinging the big stick in the Chicago White Sox' June drive to wrest the American league lead from the New York Yankees. Fox, called "the greatest play er pound for pound in the game today," by White Sox General Manager Frank Lane, slashed a homer and two singles in each game Wednesday night as Chi cago divided a doubleheader with the Baltimore Orioles. The split moved the White Sox to within two games of the Yankees and gave them a one-game lead over the third-place Cleveland Indians. Fox' six hits in eight tries raised his batting average to .323 and the two homers gave him a total of five for the season a personal high. He's driven in 25 runs this year and has 20 extra base blows among his 71 hits. Bobby Young's eighth-inning single drove in Gil Coan and ne gated Fox's first-game heroics as the Orioles scored a 6-5 victory. But Nellie homered in the third inning and also delivered a single when the White Sox scor ed their second run in the eighth inning en route to a 3-0 night cap victory. Shutout High Mike Fornieles, Billy Pierce and Sandy Consuegra all pitched in the nightcap as White Sox pitchers achieved their fourth shutout in their last six games. It was also the ninth shutout of the year for the staff high for both leagues and a pace which would enable it to challenge the American league mark of 30 for a season set by the 1906 White Sox. The White Sox, incidentally, have traveled at a .692 pace with 9 wins in 13 games this month while the Yankees have won only 9 of 17 games and the In dians have broken even in 16 games. Billy Hoeft' gained credit for his sixth victory with relief aid from Werner Birrer in the ninth as the Detroit Tigers beat the Yankees, 8-6. Jim Delsing and Frank House homered for the Tigers whie sub first baseman Ed Robinson hit No's 12 and 13 for the Yankees. Johnny Kucks was routed in the third inning and charged with his third loss. Southpaw' Dean Stone limited the Indians to three singles in piloting the Washington Sena tors to a 7-0 triumph. The Sen ators, who snapped a seven game losing streak as well as Cleveland's five-game winning skein, knocked out Bob Feller in a six-run fourth frame that included Roy Sievers' three-run homer. Johnny Groth also hom ered for Washington. Mel Parnell yielded three ho mers and needed Tom Hurd's help in the ninth inning but reg istered his first win of 1955 as the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 9-6, in the other American league game. Redlegs Beat Dodgers In the National league, the Brooklyn Dodgers bowed to the Cincinnati Redlegs 5-2, but main tained their llVs-game hold on first place when the "New York Giants beat the second-place Chicago Cubs, 7-2.

Gus Bell drove in three runs with a homer, double and single to pace Cin cinnati's attack.

The Studs narrowed the gap with four in the third and two in the fourth. They knotted the fracas with a singleton in the seventh. But the Elks went back on top 8 to 7 in the eighth frame and Medford had to mus ter its heaviest hitting of the night in the ninth to keep in the conflict. Troubles On Mound Derald Wooton the ex-professional, heaved his first full game of the year for' the Studs. He threw some fine ball through the middle innings but ran into trouble in the start and finish. The third canto, " with its six runs, was the most troublesome and the eighth to a lesser de gree. There were other, times where fielding support had him in difficulty. For Pitcher Brad Lucas and his Grants Pass mates the troubles were" somewhat more scattered, but, as the final score showed, more harmful in the long run. . For both chuckers it was a wild night. Wooton gave six bas es on balls, hit two batters and threw three wild pitches. Lucas walked 12 men and hit one. To set up the winning run in the 10th Wooton got a base on balls and Fred Luper went in to run for him. Clarence Mellbye sacrificed the runner to second and Luper got to third on a pass ed ball. Then Price's high fly stopped the action. Three Hilt In Third Grants Pass got the benefit of singles by Bob Reid and Brad Lucas and an error for one score in the second inning. In the third canto Wooton yielded hits to Tom Shollin, Mel Friend and Brad Lucas along ' with ' two walks. He hit a batter and threw a wild pitch. Mellbye's miscue at second base and a fielder's choice on the play also figured in the run making.

Cox, Gray, Woodling Go To Cleveland Br UNITED PRESS In a feverish "keep the pen nant" bid to beat baseball's trading deadline, the Cleveland Indians grabbed off Gene Wood- ling, Billy Cox and Ted .Gray Wednesday and just , missed landing hard-hitting first base man Mickey Vernon. ' The Indians dickered with the Washington Senators for Vernon until late Wednesday night but the midnight deadline passed without any announce ment of agreement. s But even Manager Casey Sten gel of the front-running New York Yankees admitted that the Tribe made "a helluva deal" in obtaining Woodling, the steady ex-Yankee outfielder, and Cox, the former "circus man" infield er of the Dodgers, from the Bal timore Orioles, in exchange for sub outfielders Dave Pope and Wally Westlake and cash. As an extra fillip, the Indians signed southpaw pitcher. Gray, sore-arm slinger who has been a free agent since being releas ed by the Chicago White . Sox two weeks ago. - The White Sox, who did most of their pennant shopping early, made one last-minute purchase, also from the Orioles right handed pitcher Harry Byrd for a "sum in excess of the waiver price of $10,000." That also was the official de scription of the price that the Detroit Tigers paid to the Phi adelphia Phillies for first base man Earl Torgeson in the only other trade. Manager Al Lopez of Cleve land,, obviously pleased by this extra help, said that Woodling would take over in left field, a move that makes Ralph Kiner, the Indians' highest-paid player, a sub and pinch-hitter. Lopes figures the brilliant-fielding Cox as "our top utility man at ond, short, and third." - CARDS INK PACTS Chicago U.R) Veteran ends Leo Sugar and Jack Crittendon have signed 1955 contracts with the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League. Sug ar, who plays on the defensive unit, was the Cards' 11th draft choice in 1952, while Crittendon played both offence and defense last season.
