July 7, 1SSS (M YainiCts; tFoimirSCii StoogC-ft Loss for MY By MILTON RICHMAN United Proos Sports Writer 1 Paul Richards admits his last' place Baltimore Orioles aren't much of a ball club but he insists be has one of the best pitchers in the league in Jim Wilson, a shopworn veteran who got the "bum's rush" in MuwauKee. The 33-year-old Wilson doesn't tick on the soft touches either He has compiled his sparkling 1.30 earned run average chiefly against the hardest hitting clubs in the circuit. Wilson, who pitched a no-hitter for the Braves last year but was unceremoniously -turned loose by them the past spring, limited the league-leading New York Yankees to four scattered singles in shutting them out, 4-0, and handing them tneir lounn straight setback Wednesday night. Help Own Cause -. Wilson, who claims the Braves ve him the "bum's rush" after lie won eight games and lost only two for them last season, helped his own cause Wednesday night when he drove in two of the Orioles' runs with a fourth-inning ingle. Baltimore scored all its runs in the fourth. The defeat was a bitter pill for the Yankees who saw their lead shaved to 4Vs games when the : second-place Cleveland In diana beat the Kansas City Ath letics, 8-4. Boston's red-hot Red Sox licked the Washington Sen ators, 7-5, for their 11th. victory in 12 games while Detroit de feated Chicago, 5-3. In the National League, thtf Brooklyn Dodgers won the first game of a twi-night double header, 10-5, but the Pittsburgh Pirates captured the second game, 4-1. St. Louis beat Cin cinnati, 6-4, Milwaukee topped Chicago, 5-1, and the New York Giants edged the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, in a game termin ated in the bottom of the sixth inning by rain. ; A six-run rally in the eighth 'inning, during which Ralph ;Kiner homered, brought the In dians from behind in their game against the Athletics. Herb Score ; gained his eighth victory al though hit for homers by Bill 'Wilson and Hector Lopez. Score, j who was relieved in the eighth ' inning, struck out five batters, raising his season strikeout total j to 131. ; Ted Williams played a key ! role in the Red Sox triumph ', with a homer, double and a sin- gle as Tom Brewer picked up his sixth victory. Mickey Vernon homered for Washington. The .gam was scheduled to be the opener of a twi-night twin-bill but rain forced postponement of the second game which was re scheduled for today. . Kaliae. Hatfield Homer ' Home runs by Al Kaline and Fred Hatfield helped Ned Garver of the Tigers to his first victory since June 7 even though he was nicked for 12 hits. Virgil Trucks was the loser. Carl Erskine won -the opener for Brooklyn even though he was- nicked for successive hom ers by Jerry Lynch, Frank Thom as and Dale Long in the sixth in ning. Vern Law limited the Dodgers-to nine hits in leading Pittsburgh to victory in the sec ond game. . Rip, Repulski s three - run homer was -the deciding margin in the Cards win over the Red- legs ' although - St. Louis had to employ four pitchers to halt-a ninth-inning rally: Larry Jack son was the winner and "Jackie Collum the loser. Gene Conley hurled a three hitter in beating the Cubs for his 10th victory, Bob Rush suf fering the defeat after yielding seven of Milwaukee's 11 hits. Don Mueller's two-run homer just before rain halted the game was the winning blow for. the Giants. Loser Curt Simmons started himself on the road to defeat in the sixth when he threw wildly to third, allowing two runs to cross the plate.

Treatment In Scotland Ires Furgol St. Andrews, Scotland (U.R) Ed ' Furgol was the angriest American, but Johnny Bulla was the one in greatest danger of elimination today as the field teed off in the second round of the British Open golf champion ship at the historic old St. An drews course. After today's 18-hole round, the field will be cut in half for the final 33 holes Friday. Furgol, former U.S. Open champion from Clayton, Mo., was loud in voicing his "disgust" over the treatment of visiting professional players here, but with a one-under-par 71 in Wed nesday's opening round he ap peared to be in little danger of being ousted. On Leaders Heals In fact, Furgol was within good striking distance of the three deadlocked British leaders, each of whom shot 70 Wednes day. These were Syd Scott of England and Dai Rees of Wales, who tied for second place last year, and title , favorite Eric Brown of Scotland. Three of the other five Yanks in the championship flight also were in good position at par 72. They were Byron Nelson, form er U.S. Open champion from Roanoke, Tex.. British amateur champion Joe Conrad of San An tonio, Tex., and amateur ace Jimmy McHale of Wynnewood, Pa. But Bulla, hard-hitting tourn ey veteran from Pittsburgh was three-over-par with a 75.

Tigers Drop Ferris Fain; Get Coleman Detroit -Ferris. Fata; 33-year-old veteran ; of 16 major league seasons, was out of a job today and Joe Coleman, 32, one time teammate of Fain on the Philadelphia Athletics had an other chance in baseball. The torrid-tempered Fain was given his unconditional release by the Detroit Tigers Wednes day and Coleman, aging right hander cut loose by Baltimore last Friday, was signed im mediately to fill his spot on the roster. Tiger management gave Fain's gimpy knee, which has refused to mend, as the official reason for discharge. But behind the official reason was the report of a series of heated arguments be tween the fiery first sacker and other players and coaches. Verbal Battle The two-time American Lea gue batting champion mixed in a raw verbal battle with Earl Torgeson, his replacement at first base, while the Tigers were en route to Kansas City from cnicago Dy train, ue also en gaged - in an argument with L Coach Schoolboy Rowe and oth ers during a bus trip from Cleve land to Detroit Monday night. , It was learned that Manager Bucky Harris and General Man ager, Muddy Ruel decided then to release Fain soon thereafter. . However, Fain, who has spent nearly half his life in profession al baseball since breaking in with the San Francisco Seals in 1939, denied reports of , dissen sion. Harris also refused to com ment on them, and said only that he wished Fain "luck." The slow-mending veteran in fielder admitted he hadn't been able to help the Tigers much this season. The hobbling Fain already is considering an offer from San Francisco President Damon Mil ler for a job, "if he actually is able to handle the first base job." - Grid Workshop Program Outlined Salem Program for the Wil lamette university-New York Giants Football workshop, Aug. 1 to 6, has been announced by Willamette Coach Ted Ogdahl.

Mail orders for reserved seats are being accepted at Shrine All Star headquarters, Masonic temple, 1119 Southwest Park ave., Portland. "The early interest apparent ly stems from the fact that per sons close to the football pic ture in the state foresee a close, hard-fought contest," Ferguson stated, pointing out that support ers of the Metropolitan squad are optimistic about the chances of their team this year. The colorful contest pits the cream of the seniors from last year's Portland area high schools against the outstanding senior performers from high schools throughout the state. .

In past years the State squad has lived together during the two week practice period while the Metros, with few exceptions, lived at their respective homes.
