White Sox Celebrate Marion's New Pact; Subdue Yankees 9-6; Tribe Tips Senators B yFRED DOWN United Pre Sports Writer Marty Marion had a new two year contract to manage the Chicago White Sox today and the satisfaction that even his harshest critics are silenced. ; The White Sox celebrated Marions club record $30,000 pact by rallying to defeat the New York Yankees, 9-6, Thurs day and move to within one game of first place in the Amer ican League. As a result, the White Sox are in a stronger posi tion in Marion's first year than they ever were at this stage of the race during Paul Richards' four-year regime. The Go-Go Sox showed tremendous early tipeed several seasons under Richards but by July 22 the trend had definitely turned against them. But under Marion, the White Sox have been the most con sistent of the four A. L. conten ders. The steady gait is reflect ed by their 9-5 pace in April, 16-11 in May, 17-11 in June and 13-3 so far in July. They've been going between .593 and .643 for the entire campaign. Each of the other three con tenders has spurted more spec tacularly at times but also has paid in slumps. The Yankees, for example, were 21-7 in May but are 7-11 this month. The Indians spurted to 18-9 in June but slumped to 15-15 in July. And the Red Sox have been driving for two months to over come 8-8 and 11-18 paces in April and May. Marion Outshines Richards All in all, it's proof that the man branded as a managerial failure with the St. Louis Car dinals and Browns is running the show with a steady hand that's getting even better re sults than his famed predeces sor. The Yankees leaped off to a 4-0 lead against Virgil Trucks in the first inning Thursday but the White Sox routed Whitey Ford with a five-run outburst in the second inning and rallied for three more in the seventh, in ning after New York tied the score at 6-6. Bob Kennedy broke the tie with a two-run double and scored a third run on Sher man Lollar's single. Rookie Dixie Howell, who shut out the Yankees for the last six innings, received credit for his fourth triumph compared to one loss. Relief ace Ray Narleski won his sixth straight game when the Indians rallied to beat the Washington Senators. 4-3, in 10 innings. Vic Wertz's three-run pinch double tied the score in the ninth inning and Al Smith singled and scored all the way from first on Larry Doby's single with the decisive tally. The loss ended Washington's five-game streak. Red Sox Beat A's The Red Sox made it 19 out of 24 since June 25 when they defeated the Kansas City Ath letics, 4-3. Frank Sullivan gained credit for his 12th triumph al though Ellis Kinder closed up shop in the ninth. The defeat was Kansas City's 10th straight. Frank House's eighth homer of the season provided the Detroit Tigers with a 1-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the other A.L. game, Billy Hoeft winning his 10th game and" fourth shut out in outdueling Hector (Skin ny) Brown. It was Brown's first appearance since his return from Oakland. In the National League, rookie Don Bessent won his second game in less than a week as the runaway Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-1. Bessent, who broke in last Sunday with an 8-5 verdict over Cincinnati, had a shuotout until Ernie Banks hit homer No. 27 in the ninth. Warren Spahn pitched a five hitter and hit a three-run homer to give the Milwaukee Braves a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Spahn struck out six as he personally snapped a three game Milwaukee losing skein. Giants Edge Cardinals Willie Mays and Sid Gordon homered as the New York Giants eked out a 6-5 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals, Don Liddle picking up his fourth win in re lief and Brooks Lawrence suffer ing his sixth loss. Gus Bell hit three homers for the Cincinnati Redlcgs in the only night game but it wasn't enough as the Phil adelphia Phillies scored a 5-3 victory for their 10th straight Jack Meyer won his fourth game as Roy Smalley and Marv Blay- lock delivered key singles in the Phillies' three-run eighth inning rally.

National Stock Boat Races Set For Devil's Lake Devil's Lake, claimed to be one of the fastest courses in the world, will be the scene Aug 27, 28 and 29 of the 1955 Na tion Stock Outboard Champion' ship races. Some new records are expect ed to be established in this "World Series" of outboard rac ing as approximately 400 of the ration's fastest stock outboard boats and drivers compete for the year s top awards. Devil's Lake, located in Ore gon's north Lincoln county, is no stranger to most outboard racers. Six of the ten stock out board class world's records have been set on this Oregon lake. as have six of the nine racing class records, and two of the mile straightaway marks. Algae Growth Aids Speed Reasons for Devils Lake repu tation as an exceptionally fast body of water for outboard rac ing are threefold. Only a few feet above sea level, the dense air aids combustion in the out- boards, as does damp ocean air which churns in from the Pa cific ocean a few yards to the west. And during the warm summer months, an algae growth often takes place in the lake. Racing experts say this thick ens the water, gives the whirl ing propellors a better bite, pro ducing more speed. As George Calkins of DeLake, race chair man and boat builder, explains, " hit a patch of algae doing 30 and your boat jumps to 35 miles per hour as the prop gets better traction." Sponsoring this "World Se ries"' of the outboard races is the Devils Lake Racing Club, Inc 3 Rehabilitation Projects Added By Commission Portland At their July 8 July 8 meeting, the Oregon Game Commission gave the go- ahead to the fisheries staff for three additional lake rehabilita tion projects to be completed this year. The projects include Beulah, Malheur, and Warm Springs reservoirs located in eastern Oregon. These reservoirs, ac cording to John Dimick, coordi nating fishery biologist, will be chemically treated with rote- none for the removal of so called trash fish (roach, chubs, and suckers) which have shown a tremendous build-up in recent years. Dimick stated that treatment of the reservoirs had not been previously planned for this year, although surveys had been conducted to determine the ex tent of trash fish infestation. When it was learned that irriga tion use would draw almost all of the water from the reservoirs by this fall, reducing the level to practically the stream beds, the commission felt it would be an opportune time for the re habilitation projects. All of the tributary streams will also re ceive the rotenone treatment. Malheur and Beulah reser voirs were chemically treated by the commission in 1950 and provided excellent fishing for the following three years. In 1954, trash fish had again be come numerous enough to cause a decided decline in the sport fishery. This year the reservoirs have produced very little to the angler except a limited number of hatchery released fish. Tentative project plans call for an October treatment of all reservoirs mentioned.
