Chicago White Sox Optimistic After Tripping Yanks 7-4 By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer The cocky White Sox gave the Yankees less than 24 hours to get out of first place today and warned them beforehand that they have every intention of moving in themselves. Marty Marion's optimistic Chi cagoans could take over the Am erican league lead by beating the Yankees today and hearing the White Sox talk after beating the league leaders, 7-4, Wednes day, they were all but in already. "I can feel it in my bones," declared a jubilant Marion, "we are gonna lasso 'em and I think they know it. Tomorrow at this :e those American league filings may be scrambled up quite a bit." , White Sox outfield Bob Nie man. mindful that only three games separate the Yankees, In dians. White Sox and Red Sox, put it this way: "Somebody is going to catch those Yankees soon and it might as well be us. If we stop here to rest, Boston and Cleveland will climb over us before we have a chance to turn around." Chicago Routs Old Nemesis The White Sox had a minimum of difficulty cutting the Yan kees' lead to a single game and a mere eight percentage points Wednesday. They routed an old nemesis, veteran Ed Lopat, with a three-run burst in the second inning, then hammered three more runs in the fourth. Ex- Yankee Harry Byrd gained his sixth victory although he needed relief in the eighth when the Yanks picked up their final three runs. Minnie Minoso and Walt Dropo each banged out three hits in Chicago's 13-hit attack. Like the White Sox, the red- hot Red Sox also put together a pair of three-run clusters to defeat the Indians. 6-2, and climb within three games of the top. Jim Piersall blasted a three- run homer in the fourth inning off Art Houtteman and he drove in his fourth run of the contest in another three - run burst during the fifth inning. Tom Brewer scattered six hits for his eighth triumph as the Red Sox made it 37 wins in their last 48 starts. Vic Wertz homered for Cleveland. A's Beat Senators Twice Kansas City swept a twi night doubleheader from Wash ington, winning the H-inmng first game, 6-4, and the second same, 4-1. Tom Umphlett's two-run hom er tied the score at 4-all, but an error by catcher Clint Court ney paved the way for the Ath letics two winning runs in the 11th. In the nightcap, an error by Senator shortstop Jose Vat divielso helped the Athletics to break a 1-all deadlock. Art Ditmar and Bill Harrington were credited with the victor ies. Steve Gromek gained his 10th victory although he needed help from Joe Coleman as the Tigers won the opener of a double header. 8-4. but Jim Dyck's sev enth inning single dissolved tie in the nightcap and drove in the run that gave the Orioles an 8-7 decision. Reno Bertoia hit a three-run homer for the Tigers in the second game. The Braves, still harboring some slight hope of catching the Dodgers, while battling for sec ond place, beat the Phillies, 2-1 and moved to within 1212 games Manager Curly Leininger has indicated that Jack Hen kel, ex-Euqene high school aihlele, will be the starting pitcher tonight for the Coos Bay-North Bend Lumberjacks in the second game of a two game stand here with the Medford Cheney Studs. Studs' Skipper Jack Cooney was less certain but said his choice could be Jim Kelly. The hassle begins at 8 p.m. at the fairgrounds. If Medford's Cheney Studs push ahead of the Coos Bay- North Bend Lumberjacks here this evening in a big effort to split a non-league series with the coast area powerhouse, they'll need either a wider margin or better fortune in hanging on to the bulge than they had last night.

Milwaukee snapped Robin Roberts' six-game winning streak when they ' put together three singles and a hit batsman for both their runs in the seventh inning. Lew Burdette chalked up his eighth victory although he didn't finish. Rookie Milt Smith's 10th in ning single beat the Dodgers af ter the Redlegs tied the game in the ninth to wipe out a Brook lyn lead built up by Duke Snid cr's 35th homer with one on. Don Hoak also homered for the losers. Harvey Haddix pitched a three-hitter and Wally Moon slammed a homer with the bases full to lead the Cardinals to a 6-1 victory over the Pirates. El- roy Face was the loser. The Cubs, losers in 14 of their last 15 games, defeated the Giants twice, 4-2 and 9-8. Chi cago jumped on Jim Hearn for six hits and four runs in the first three innings of the open er while in the nightcap. Dee Fondy's second homer of the game capped a five-run rally that won the game in the eighth Willie Mays slammed his 31st and 32nd homers in the second game and teammate Dusty Rhodes hit a grand-slam home run.

The loss was Medford's first in seven games. Coos Bay-North Bend jumped the opportunity when Med ford's opening twirler, Marv Scherpf, began to tire. It con tinued the assault when reliever im Kelly couldn't get going on the hill. Second relief tosser Derald Wooton couldn't stem the tide until the damage was done and errors hurt the Med ford cause. Meanwhile, the 'Jacks got a superb relief pitching job from Ward Rockey and they played some spectacular errorless ball behind him to virtually hand cuff the Medfordites. Five In Fifth The Studs packed all their runs into two frames. Singles by Jack Cooney and Larry Bigham, a rousing triple to left field by Bob Selsor, a sacrifice by Terry Maddox and a base on balls to Dick Wooton got three runs in the fourth inning. Ed McCullough, Jack Fassett, Maddox, Dick Wooton and Sel sor all socked safeties in the fifth inning. Medford combined those with three 'Jack misplays and a fielder's option to ring up five markers and that's where the home club gained its six-run lead. A hit by Roy Nicely, two bases on balls, a sacrifice flyout by Bob Hayes and a fielder's choice got two runs back for the visitors in the sixth frame. Kelly replaced Scherpf for the start of the seventh inning but he yielded raps to John Ko- venz and Jay Ragni and two bases on balls to allow in two runs and put two other eventual Prt. .612 .604 .592 .582 .546 GB 1 2 3 6' .414 19'2 .347 26 .302 30 Wednesday's Results Boston 6.

Wooton. going to the mound from third base gave single to Hayes and a twin- baser to Irv Roth for the two more runs which tied up the score. Winning Runs Cross A lone hit by Kay btratton. two walks, two misplays and a fielder's option let in the win ning tallies in the eighth canto. One run crossed alter tne tnrow in from the outfield on Strat- ton's wallop got through Mc Cullough at third base. Stratton went to second on the play and on to third on an overthrow to second base by Catcher Dick Wooton. After Nicely had walk ed Ragni hit into a force play at second but Stratton crossed the plate. CB-NB picked up its first run of the evening on an error and a double by Ragni in the second sianza. Jerry Tully was hit by a pitched ball in the fifth inn ing and Hersey tripled him home. Medford collected 10 hits in 13 innings off Jerry Tully but off Rockey in 4 23 panels could smash only one. Rockey retired 13 Medford batters in order before Cooney caught him for a three-base clout to right field in the ninth. The 'Jack finisher whiffed five and issued no bases on balls. In support of Rockey Center- fielder Hayes made a long run ning over-the-shouldcr catch of a deeply hit fly by Jack Fassett. The snag was spectacular here but commonplace to bay fans. Nicely made a high jumping catch of a screaming liner by Cooney. Cooney Hits 9th Straight On the bright side of the pic ture for Medford was Cooney's three for five hitting. His first two swats of the tussle gave him nine straight hits in nine of ficial trips to the plate in the last three Studs games. The spell was broken when the manager hit into a potential force play in the fifth inning. All hands were safe on a throw ing muff. Cooney's full record for the three games is nine for 13. Ragni hit three for four for the Lumberjacks last night. Ko venz was credited with four for six and Hersey two for four. Selsor and Bigham were two for four hitters for Medford. w""""""1"""- LANDING SOLID left to chest, Sugar Ray Robinson (left) jolts Rocky CastellanI in fight in San Francisco's Cow Palace.
