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.
Golfers Tee Off
In St; Paul Open
St: Paul, Minn. U.R) A
fast field of golfers from hot-
shooting ''kids" to calm old pros
tees off today in one of the
most wide-open St. Paul Open
golf tournaments in history.
A near record field of 142 will
attack the Rolling Keller course
to try for $15,000 prize money
in the four-day, 26th anniversary
event. '
Veterans like Sam '. Snead,
Dutch Harrison, Tommy Bolt,
Corky Oliver, Johnny Palmer,
Julius Boros, Jerry Barber, Jim
Turnesa Henry Ransom and
others were in the running this
time. " - . ' ;
Moody Subdues
Oregon Netman
Portland U.R) Dick Moody
professional dancer from Santa
Monica, Calif., provided the
most thrilling match of the day
yesterday when he defeated
Norm Merrill, Portland, 6-3, 9-7
in second round play of the Ore
gon State Tennis Tournament.
Top-seeded Franklin Johnson
of San Francisco defeated Gary
Ambrose. Portland, 6-0, 6-1 af

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." -

Interest Already
High for Shrine
Football Game
Portland Early interest in
the eighth annual Shriners hos
pital all-star football game,
scheduled for August 20 in Mult
nomah stadium here, indicates
one of the largest crowds in the
game's history, according to Eugene-
W. Ferguson, deputy chief
of Portland police and managing
director of the gridiron classic
Ferguson said that mail orders
for reserved seats are slightly
ahead of a year ago at this time.
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. .
Portland Tutor Hopeful
The Metropolitan squad has
dropped four straight to the
State eleven, but Head Coach
Tom DeSylvia of Portland's Jeff
erson high school is hopeful the
tide can be turned this year.
DeSylvia has lined up a husky,
fast aggregation and this year
the Metros will have the advant
age of living together for two
weeks prior to the game.
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.
This year the Metros will be
quartered at Lewis and Clark
college, and their supporters be
lieve this will provide air oppor
tunity lor tnem to become a
more closely knit team.
Lee Gustafson, who piloted
South Salem to a tie for the state
prep title last fall, will direct
