Susce Wins for Red Sox in 1 -Hit Showing Against Father's Team By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The most rabid baseball fan In Kansas City could forgive Coach George (Good Kid) Susce today if he's bursting his but tons with pride. The Boston Red Sox stretched the Athletics' latest losing streak to nine games with a 6-0 victory Wednesday niaht and it was none other than the coach's 23 year-old son, George Susce Jr., who was the chief villain. Susce Jr., a strong-armed right hander. yielded a leadoff single to Vic Power and then hurled no-hit ball for the remainder of the game. The victory enabled the on rushing Red Sox to move within a game of the third-place Cleve land Indians, who lost to the Washington Senators, 6-4, and again tightened the American League race. The second-place Chicago White Sox advanced to within two games of first place with an 8-6 triumph over the New York Yankees. But the drama of the night was unfolded in Kansas City. Susce Jr. had compiled a 4-3 mark for the Red Sox but Man ager Mike Higgins never before had pitched him against the Ath letics. Around the league, fans and players wondered how the young pitcher would react when he finally was called upon to pitch against his father s team. Dad Watches From Bullpen A 14-game winner for Louis ville last season, Susce Jr. turn ed in his first big league shutout while his father watched the progress of the game from the bullpen. The 47-year-old coach, who groomed his son to be a ball player, played for five major league teams but caught a total of 146 games in eight seasons. It was the first time Susce Sr. had seen his son pitch in a major league game, but he was so busy in the bullpen 412 feet from the plate that he only saw him briefly. The young pitcher's -mother, brother, and sister were in the stands, however, and got a much better look. The Red Sox, who have won 18 of their last 23 games, knock ed out Arnold Portocarrero with lour runs in the second inning and added two more runs in the third. National League cast off Grady Hatton contributed a single to the second-inning rally and a triple in the third frame. Senators Beat Indians The Senators scored four un earned runs off Early Wynn in the third inning and won their fifth straight game. Eddie Yost's home run and Joe Valdivielso's triple were the big blows of the game for the Senators, who now have a 7-6 season edge over Oim'fco'odiuiCDirDg "f? - Wk. '.

The Indians whipped them 18 times in 22 meetings en route to the pennant last season. The White Sox routed Bob Turley in the first inning and built up an 8-0 lead over the Yankees in three frames. Dick Donovan, who is fairly certain to be the first rookie to win 20 games for the White Sox in 54 years, was knocked out when the Yankees scored five runs in the seventh inning but got credit for the win to make his record 13-2. Hal Smith drove in four runs and Dave Pope two to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-3 win over the Detroit Tigers in the other A.L. game. Newcomb Wins 16ih In the National League, Don Newcombe won his 16th game behind a five-homer barrage that included two each by Duke Snider and Don Zimmer-as the Brooklyn Dodgers whipped the Chicago Cubs, 10-1. The Cubs snapped a nine-game losing streak in the nightcap with a 5-3 verdict. With 33 homers in 92 games, Snider is three games ahead of Babe Ruth's record 1927 pace. The Philadelphia Phillies set Fuentes Victor In Dreary Fight New York-(U.R) It was a split decision all right, but no one even suggested today a re turn bout be t w e e n welter weight contenders Ramon Fuen tes and Hector Constance, so dreary was their TV-radio 10 rounder Wednesday night. Fuentes of Los Angeles won the chopped verdict largely be cause he staggered young Con stance of Trinidad, B.W.I. in the ninth round of their very dull performance at Madison Square Garden. Harry Markson, managing di rector of the International Box ing Club explained today, "it was an unexpectedly unfortu nate combination of styles. Each had made exceptionally good fights against other opponents." Sammy Richman, Constance's American representative, said, "I thought Hector won, but he's a stubborn boy who wouldn't follow instructions from the cor ner. He tried to beat Fuentes at close quarters instead of keep ing away from him." Fuentes said, "he wouldn't fight in the open, so I just kept going into him." a modern club record of nine straight triumphs with 5-0 and 4-2 wins over the Cincinnati Redlegs. Saul Rogovin pitched a five-hitter for his first NXi. win in the opener and Curt Simmons went the route for his sixth victory in the second game. The Phillies moved into fifth place, a half game behind the fourth-place Cubs. Pinch-hitter Preston Ward's three-run seventh-inning homer gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Braves, who have dropped three in a row while Tom Poholsky breezed behind a 15-hit attack that swept the Cardinals to a 9-2 verdict over the New York Giants in the other National League game.
