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.

The Lumberjacks erased a
six-run 2 to 8 deficit wnn
plurges in the sixth and seventh
innings last night and collected
another pair of counters in the
ighth panel to overcome the
Studs 10 to 8 at the fairgrounds
baseball diamond here.
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

fielder's option let in the win

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.
