Los Angeles (U.R) Rugged
Bill (Sweetpea) Peacock sought
a crack at France's Robert
Cohen today after knocking out
Raul Raton Macias, the National
Boxing association's world
bantamweight champion, in a
non-title bout.
Peacock, who broke Macias
Jaw with his smashing knockout
punch in Wednesday night's na
tionally televised fight, said he
feels ready for Cohen, who
France claims as the world ban
tam king.
The scappy Negro boxer upset
his pre-ring rating as a 3-1 un
derdog when he sent Macias
reeling to the canvas with a
hard left to the head at two
minutes and 29 .seconds of the
third heat of the scheduled 10
rounder before more than 8,000
fans at Olympic auditorium.
Condition Satisfactory
Macias was rushed to Georgia
Street Receiving hospital where
doctors said he suffered a broken
right jaw and a , broken lower
left jaw. He was transferred to
Good Samaritan hospital soon
afterward. His condition was
described as "satisfactory."
Attendants said he would be
hospitalized "for about two
days."
: It was the first defeat in 15
professional fights for the Mex
ico City battler.
His manager, George Parnas
sus, said Macias would give the
Los Angeles fighter a shot at
the title but "the bout will have
to be at 118 pounds for Macias
and in Mexico City." Macias
weighed in yesterday at 111,
while Peacock, formerly of Phil
adelphia, hit the scales at 121Vi.

Povis Blasts Homer
For Portland Victory
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
San Diego and Portland used
different caliber weapons last
night against their Pacific Coast
League foes, but the results came
out exactly the same.
League-leading San Diego used
the pop-gun attack in the first
inning to score a run while Port
land unlimbered an elephant gun
in the final frame.
But when the dust rose each
had a 1-0 victory San . Diego
over tormenting Oakland ; and
Portland over fast-moving Holly
wood.
Seattle kept pace with the
leaders by bombing San Fran
cisco 10-2 while Los Angeles got
out of the basement by virtue of
a 6-3 win over Sacramento.
The San Diego Padres, not as
muscular as they were a few
weeks ago, scored in the first in
ning against Don Ferrarese with
out a hit. Ferrarese Walked the
bases loaded and then Buddy
Peterson scored the night's lone
run on an infield force.
Only Scoring
That was all the scoring as the
Pads were held to three singles.
However the Oaks were not too
robust either, against Cal McLish,
getting only six singles and one
less run than the Padres.
Carl Powis accented the first
syllable of his last name in the
top of the ninth inning and
ooomea a nome run tnat ac
counted for all the scoring in the
Portland-Hollywood contest.
Bob Alexander went all the
way and limited Hollywood to

Nellie Fox Swings Big
Stick in White Sox
Drive; Orioles Split
By FRED DOWN
. 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. The Philadel
phia Phillies licked the Milwau
kee Braves, 4-0, and the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 7-3 in other games. ,
Rudy Minarcin, who pitched
a one-hitter in his previous start,
limited the Dodgers to four hits
and had a shutout until the
ninth when Junior Gilliam hit a
two-run homer. Gus Bell drove
in three runs with a homer,
double and single to pace Cin
cinnati's attack.
Paul Giel, $45,000 bonus pitch
er and former Minnesota foot
ball star, won his first big league
game for the Giants. Giel start
ed the winning ninth-inning ral
ly with a double and yielded

u
only one hit in three shutout in
nings. It was the fifth loss in
six games for the Cubs. .
. Herman Wehmeier's six-hitter

Studs Edge by Elks
With Marker in 10th
Ritchie Price's flyout to cen
terf ield allowed Fred Luper to
tally the winning run in the ex
tra 10th inning last night as the
Medford Cheney Studs nudged
the Grants Pass Elks 9 to 8 in
a wild, hectic non-league semi-
pro baseball tangle at the fair
grounds. ,
Medford rallied to the nod
after once trailing 7 to 0 but
never held the lead until the
winning ' marker broke up the
contest in its extra panel.
, Grants Pass gained its big
jump with a single run in the
second inning and six in the
third. 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.

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." -
