Byrd Chucks Shutout As Chisox Keep Pace; Dodgers Ahead by 14 Br MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writ Bargain-minded Frank Lane of the White Sox bought a Byrd for $45,000 not so long ago and it turns out he didn't get a cat in the bag. Lane was given a choice by the Baltimore Orioles, who offered him either Harry Byrd or Jim McDonald. The cagey Chicago general manager picked the 30 year old Byrd and hasn't been sorry since. One June 18, only 72 hours after the White Sox acquired him, Byrd, a huge disappoint ment with Baltimore, picked up his first victory in a Chicago uniform by stopping the hard hitting Yankees. He was even more effective Thursday in hurl ing a four-hitter that beat the Senators, 7-0. Byrd's shutout, the 12th of the season for a White Sox pitcher, kept Chicago within two games of the American League pace setting Yankees, who beat the Athletics, 4-0. The third-place Indians beat the Orioles, 9-2, while the Red Sox climbed to within a single percentage point of fourth place by blanking the Tigers, 7-0. Dodgers Increase Lead In the only two National League games scheduled, the Dodgers increased their lead to 14 games with a 7-4 victory over the Cubs while the Cardinals defeated the Phillies, 7-1. After five losses in -a row, Bob Turley of the Yankees got back on the right track with a three-hitter over Kansas City. Turley struck out six, raising his season total to 108, and walked only one in beating ' Bobby Shantz for his ninth victory. Three walks, Yogi Berra's sin gle and Bill Skowron's ground rule double gave the Yankees three-run cluster in the third inning. Bob Feller pitched a four hitter against Baltimore for his second victory as the Indians hammered four Oriole hurlers for 15 hits. Gene Woodling, an other ex-Oriole, drove in four runs against his former team mates with a double and three ingles. Duane Pillette failed to survive the first inning and was charged with the loss. Bad Sox Beat Detroit Norm Zauchin teed off on Duke Maas of Detroit for his 13th honor with one on in the third inning and Jackie Jensen blasted his 14th homer with the bases full in the fourth to give the Red Sox their 14th victory in the last 16 games. Six-foot, six-inch Frank Sullivan yielded only two hits doubles by Bill Tuttle in the fourth and pinch hitter Ferris Fain in the eighth to gain his ninth conquest against six setbacks. A four-run rally in the seventh inning, capped by Gil Hodges, two-run single off Sam (No Hit) Jones, brought the Dodgers from behind and dropped the Cubs into third place, one per centage point behind the idle Braves. Clem .Labine won his sixth game without a loss al though Karl Spooner relieved him in the seventh. Ransom Jackson homered for the Cubs in the sixth. Cardinal Floyd Wooldridge achieved his first major league victory with a seven-hitter against the Phillies. The Cards collected enough runs to win off Herm Wehmeier in the fourth when they pushed across three runs on Wally Moon's ninth homer, a walk and Bill Virdon's seventh home run.
