TEN MTDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. July 5, 19S5 Red Sox Beat Yankees Twice; 37 Home Runs Hit in Majors Br NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writtr Maybe it's time those Ameri can League front-runners began devoting some serious thoughts to Manager Mike Higgins ram paging Red Sox. There were many who felt downright-sorry for Mike, the freshman manager, when his youngster-laden club was dump ed into sixth place, Id games off the pace, back on June 6. But here they are one month later, only eight games behind the league-leading New xorK Yankees, from whom they swept a holiday double-header, A-2 and 10-5. That gave the Bosox a streak of 10 victories in their last 11 games and 24 of their last 29. At'that rate, they couia make Higgins a top candidate for manager-of-the-year. Can they keep this up? Well, throughout this streak the Sox have comeup'with solid pitch ing, plenty ' power in Ted Williams. Jackie Jensen and Norm Zauchin,-and some hus tling, heads-up baseball. Take that double-header sweep against the Yankees, for exam pie. Williams hit his 10th homer and a double to help win ine opener; and Jensen connected for a grand slam (nis i7tnj ana Zauchin for a three-run blast (his 16th) to clinch the nightcap. Willard Nixon demonstrated his customary ' mastery over the Yankees for five innings and then retired because of the heat. Ike Delock finished up with four shutout innings. After Mel Par nell was knocked out in the sec ond game, young Tom Hurd pitched 61-3 scoreless innings to earn the victory. Home Run Salute Major league clubs saluted Independence Day with a salvo of 37 homers just three short of tne au-tune recora ior a sin gle day. There, were 20 hit in the National League and 17 in the American. The Cleveland Indians took over second place, five games behind New York, by taking both games of a twin bill from the Detroit Tigers, 6-5 in 15 in nings and 8-5. The Chicago White Sox dropped to third place when they split with the Kansas City Athletics, winning ihe opener 8-3 and dropping the second game, 4-3. In the only single-game program, the Balti more Orioles beat the Washing ten Senators, 6-2. . In the National League, tne Btooklyn Dodgers opened' a 12li-game lead by beating the Philadelphia Phils twice, 11-2 and 6-3. The second place Chi cago Cubs lost the opening game to the Cincinnati Kedlegs, 6-3, then won the nightcap, 4-3; the St. Louis Cardinals swept the Milwaukee Braves 4-2 and 5-4 in 10 innings; and the New York Giants split with the Pitts burgh Pirates, coming back tp win the second game 5-3 in 11 innings after losing the opener, 4-3. ; Don Newcombe 'pitched an eight-hitter for his 14th triumph and Duke. Snider hit a pair of Dodger homers in the opening game. In the nightcap, . Clem Labine pitched the full nine in nings for 'the first time since his victory over the Giants in the 1951 pennant playoff. La bine gave up only six hits and contributed a home run. Carl Furillo hit a homer in each game. Cardinals Advance Notch Rip Repulski's seventh-inning homer broke a 2-2 tie to help Tawi TnVinlcti win fVin farH9 cpener with a six-hitter. Bill Virdon's single after a triple by Wally Moon broke up the night cap in the 10th inning. Repulski also hit a second game homer. By winning two, the Cards ad vanced one notch to sixth place. Art Fowler's four-hitter and Ted Kluszewski's 27th homer played important roles in Cin cinnati's victory, while Gene Baker's fifth inning home run provided the Cubs with the mar gin of their nightcap win. Pittsburgh won the opener from the Giants when Windy McCall and Paul Giel each walk ed two batters in the ninth to force home the winning . run. Willie Mays' 23rd homer his second of the day clinched the nightcap for the Giants. Cleveland spotted Detroit a 5-1 lead in each game and rallied to win both. Hal Naragon's pinch single in the 15th won the opener after Ralph Kiner had hit a homer in the eighth and a run-producing single to tie the score. Larry Doby hit two homers and Ai Rosen wal loped a two-run blast in Cleve land's nightcap rally. Connie Johnson, back for a second try in the majors, pitched the White Sox to a seven-hit triumph in the opener, but Hec tor Lopez singled home Vic Power in the eighth inning of the nightcap to give Kansas City a split. Ray Moore's six-hitter and Willie Miranda's tie-breaking eighth-inning single were the key factors in the Orioles' victory over the Senators. srpoDonrs Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE' W. h. ,52 27 ..46 31 ..44 30 44 435 ..38 37 Kansas City 33 42 Washington 26 49 Baltimore .21 S3 New York .
