Bereaved Red Sox
Nab Pair for Harry
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
The name of Harry Agganis
never again will appear in a box
i core but the quiet determination
of his bereaved Boston Red Sox
team mates tells a story without
A 1)1
v. V -
SUCCUMBING after relapse
from pneumonia, Harry Ag
ganis, 25, Boston Red Sox first
baseman, dies in Cambridge,
Mass., hospital. (International
words they're winning 'em
now for the likeable Greek guy
whose funeral is Thursday after
noon. The Red Sox wore their black
arm bands of mourning in si
lence and they played without
the usual wise-cracks and razz
ing Tuesday night, but they won
two games, 4-0 and 8-2 over the
Senators, the first on a three-hit
shutout by Frank Sullivan, the
second with an explosive eight
run rally in the ninth.
Sullivan, who now has won six
games in a row, turned in his
second straight shutout and Jack
Jensen contributed three runs
batted in on a homer and a sac
rifice fly in the opener. Faye
Throneberry also hit a homer.
Sullivan, who had a two-hit shut
out over Detroit in his last start,
now ha? a 10-6 won and lost
mark. .
Bob Porterfield appeared to
be "in" with a shutout of his
own in the second game when
the Red Sox became electric with
energy and after Norm Zauchin
hit a two-run homer made a rout
of it, adding four singles and a
double and also utilizing such
devices as interference by the
catcher, a sacrifice, a walk and
force out. Zauchin, up for the
second time hit the double for
the final run.
Tigrs Edge White Sox
The victory moved Boston to
within half a game of the fourth
place Tigers who won a 10-in-ning
struggle from the White
Sox, 5-4, on a single by Frank
House after Earl Torgeson walk
ed and went to third on Jim Del
sing's single. The White Sox had
come from behind to tie it at 4-4
in the ninth. Chicago dropped
ZVz games behind the idle Yan
kees. In the only other American
league game Cleveland topped
Kansas City, 7-5 with six runs
in the second inning, three on
Larry Doby's homer. Mike Gar
cia won his first game since May
15 and his fourth of the year.
In the National league, the
Dodgers came home to happy
Flatbush and utilized home run
smashes by Jack Robinson, Carl
Furillo, and Duke Snider for a
6-5 victory over Sal Maglie and
the Giants, who dropped to fifth
place. Cincinnati took over
fourth with a 9-1 victory over
St. Louis while Chicago stayed
in second place by beating Mil
waukee 7-3.
After the Phils finished un
completed business of last April
24 with a 3-0 victory in a sus
pended game, the Pirates went
10. innings to defeat the Phillies
in the regular game, 7-5.
Snider Takes Home Lead
Maglie, who had won eight
in a row, was tapped for the
Robinson and Furillo homers in
succession in the second inning
and suffered his fourth defeat.
Snider hit his 24th homer to take
the major league lead again and
this blast in the eighth proved to
be the winning run. The Giants,
full of fight, rallied for a run
on a Robinson error in the ninth
but Jackie atoned for that by
starting a game ending double
play.
Ernie Banks and Jim King
each hit two homers and Sam
Jones struck out 12 in the Cub
triumph at Milwaukee. It was
a seven-hitter and Jones' eighth
victory of the year. Hank Aaron
homered for the Braves.
Joe Nuxhall missed in a bid
for his third straight shutout but
coasted to an easy nine-hit job
for his eighth victory with Cin
cinnati. Johnny Temple batted
in five runs, three on a triple,
and stole a base while Ray Jab
lonski hit a two-run homer
against his old Cardinal mates.
The Pirates made 12 hits, four
of them singles by Tom Saffell,
Dick Cole, Frank Thomas and
Dale Long in the 10th to top the
Phils. Willie Jones homered for
the Phils and Long for the Bucs.
The Phils added a ninth inning
run in their suspended game vic
tory. Jack Meyer was the win
ner, in, that game but lost the
regular one in relief .

Studs Scuffle Stars
Here Tonight; Bounce
Grants Pass Elks 8-5
Tha Medford Cheney Studs
mix with the Scott Valley
Stars at the fairgrounds here
tonight. Starting time for the
non-league semi-pro baseball
scrape with the Fort Jones,
Calif., nine is 8 p.m.
Jim Kelly is the probable
hurler for Medford. The Stars
starter may be chosen from
among four men, Fred Ruff.
Jim Church, Sonnie Allen and
Albert Facey.
The game will be the fifth
for Medford against a North
ern California League team.
The Studs have tripped Yreka
three times and Ml. Shasta
once. Ft. Jones stumbled along
at its NCL beginning this sea
son but, after being bolstered
in personnel., rose up to whip .
the loop leading Tulelake team
a couple of Sundays ago.
Back to back home runs by
Jack Cooney and Derald Wooton
following a walk to Eddie Mc
Cullough got the Cheney Studs
three runs in the first inning and
three tallies was the margin of
decision as the Studs subdued
the Grants Pass Elks baseball
nine 8 to 5 last night at Grants
Pass.
The non-league scuffle marked
the fourth straight triumph for
the Studs over the Elks this sea
son. Two of the victories were
in Southern Oregon League en
gagements. Medford assumed a 5 to 1
spread in the first four innings,
saw its gap close to 5 to 4 and 6
to 5 then put on a two-run cush
ion in the ninth panel.
Lefty Marv Scherpf, making
his first appearance for the Studs
since returning from National
Guard camp. He whiffed - 12
batters in his eight-hitter, walked
four and hit one man with a
pitch. Three of the bases on balls
were in the sixth frame when
the Elks collected two runs. It
was the only time they got more
than one run in an inning.
Center Field Blows
Cooney and Wooton both
smashed their roundtrippers to
center field. Jack's went to the
right of a shed in the outer pas
ture and Derald's out on to the
black top parking of the school
bus garage. Bill Martell slammed
a homer for the Elks. It was also
in the first canto and to center
field.
The Studs grabbed one run in
the third inning when Bob Selsor
walked, went two bases to third
on a wild pitch and scored on a
single by Terry Maddox. A base
on balls in the fourth chukker
also put a run on base. McCul
lough was given the pass. He ad-
vanced a base on Selsor's ground
out and tallied on an error on a
rap by Maddox.
Grants Pass cut the score to
5 to 2 in the fifth inning. Chuck
Nevi and Brad Lucas socked
singles. There was a fielder's op
tion, a base on balls and a wild
pitch. Singles by Mel Friend and
Jack Lovrich and an error on
the Studs were added with the
sixth inning walks that enabled
GP to hack the Medford margin
to 5 to 4.
Wooton Heads Batters
Both clubs scored in the eighth
inning. Medford utilized safeties
by Howard Morris and Ed Mc
Cullough (on a bunt) and two
errors. Grants Pass loaded the
bags on an error and hits by
Clint Reese and Lucas. Pitcher
Scherpf, apparently trying to
keep the ball inside to Mel
Drews, hit the GP catcher on the
hand. Drews took his base forc
ing in a run.
Wooton, who had three hits in
four times up to head all batters
for the night, doubled to lead off
the ninth canto. He scored on to
bobble on Bill McLean's swat.
McLean stole second and went
to third base on a miscue.
Scherpf singled him home.
Martell's homer and triple in
four times up paced GP. Lucas
also hit two for four. Morris
socked two for five for the
Studs.
Lucas and his mound reliever,
Martell, gave up five hits apiece
to the Studs. Lucas walked seven
and fanned four in five innings
while Martell struck out two and
walked one in four frames.
Medford was "robbed" of one
run or more in the seventh in
ning when Cooney and then Mc
Lean were called out on plays
at first base by Base Umpire
Newman. From the stands they
appeared to haye definitely
beaten the throws. McLean's out
was on the end of a double play
and both decisions were hotly
disputed by Studs' Manager
Clarence Mellbye.

Salem, Eugene
Run One-Two in
Northwest Loop
By UNITED PRESS
The Northwest League had a
decided Oregon flavor today
with the two Oregon representa
tives, Salem and Eugene, running
one-two in the tight race for
first place. -
Salem got five-hit pitching
from Marion Cowdell and some
power hitting from iirst baseman
Jack Steinagel to take Spokane
6-1 last night at Salem. Steina
gel settled matters with a bases
loaded homer in the fifth.
Eugene kept in the running
with 3-1 and 12-5 decisions over
Lewiston. Frank Chase hand
cuffed the Broncs in the first
game allowing but five hits while
fanning seven and issuing but
three walks.
In the nightcap, a triple by
Ron Jackson and a sacrifice fly
by Art Preston gave Eugene a
6-5 edge in the seventh and the
Emeralds added six more in the
eighth with the aid of a three
run double by Granny Gladstone.
Tri-City stayed in contention
six games off the pace with 2-0
and 7-4 decisions over Yakima.
Dan Holden's two-run triple in
the sixth inning of the opener
handed Ralph Burns the decision.
In the nightcap, a six-run out
burst in the first inning was all
the Braves needed. Rookie Ed
die Zander drove in three of
Yakima's four runs in the night
cap. PCL Bullpens
Kept Busy
By UNITED PRESS
The bullpens of the Pacific
coast league were busier last
night than a pickpocket at a par
ade and the hurlers who ride
the outfield benches really earn
ed their keep.
Al Lyons kept loop-leading
San Diego three games ahead of
Seattle by shutting off a San
Francisco rally in the bottom of
the ninth with the tying runs on
base, and the Padres won 7-5.
The Rainiers summoned ' Van
Fletcher, Bill Kennedy, and Lar
ry Jansen in the ninth to pre
serve a 2-1 win over Oakland.
Turk Lown bailed out George
Piktuzis when the going got
rough in the ninth inning and
saved the Angels' 7-4 win over
Portland. Only Hollywood's
George Munger was able to last
the night and did it with a six-
hit, 8-0, win over Sacramento.
Los Angeles took a series op
ener away from Portland by
turning in a 4-run second inning
on five hits.
